Sairee Cottage Resort

I don’t like to rough it but when you’re in a location like this….i really couldn’t care. Cabins are a bit run down and you’re paying over the odds to stay here but it was worth it. We had the most memorable couple of days here. Staff were super friendly and very helpful.

Brilliant stay! The staff is so friendly and helpful. The cottage was clean and comfortable and all the services worked well. The only suggestion to management would be to have more clothes hangers in the wardrobe.

Solid location. 1 min walk to beach and restaurant.

Het was een heerlijk verblijf met vriendelijke mensen. Het hutje waarin we verbleven was heel prettig en ze regelden het vervoer vanaf het hotel weer terug naar de pier. Het zit op loopafstand van allemaal leuke winkels en restaurantjes en heeft zelf ook een restaurant gelegen aan het strand.

Okay, we stayed for 9 nights, this is the 5th time in Thailand and second time on Koh Tao, and we loved this place because: 1. The staff were amazing, they helped us with taxi boat for snorkelling (boat nr 35, a very kind guy called Lai), advice on where to go on the island, everything we asked for or problems that we had, they solved it very quick and always with a smile. They cleaned every second day which was enough, if you try to keep the sand off your feet. It is a small tub outside the veranda to wash the sand off. Nice cleaning staff. 2. The premises, pool area, bungalow (we stayed in beach front bungalow OB4). Everything was clean and although noisy in the nights when people went to the bars, it was worth it with the view we had from the bungalow veranda where we watched the sunset and beach/boat people all day long. The room had a nice Air con and a little fridge, the bed was a little hard as everywhere in Thailand. The pool with a ”swim in” bar, also very nice and clean. 3. The restaurant with a barbecue each night to die for, so delicious and very nice breakfast and pizza too. Quick response from the staff, they never seemed to rest.

tranquil and lovely host and you must try home made jam not far from local beach and local convenience stores and a short strolls to local eateries. need a car to go to city or taxi is not that expensive but local drivers sometimes crazy as i’ve been told

The cottages are very comfortable, clean the cottage we had came with a fridge and AC. The staff are great and happy to help. There is a restraunt located on the property righron tje Beach, the food is very good the staff pleasant and friendly and very nice, special shout out to Moe a waiter there who was awesome. We arrived back at the hotel/ cottages from being out having a few drinks realizing the restraunt was closed, missed by 10 mins, Moe's was still there, without hesitation he drove my wife on his scooter to another place that sells pizza to pick up and drove her back AND refused a tip, pretty special guy! We stayed 2 weeks, highly recommend.

Sairee Cottage Resort is the perfect complement to Sairee Cottage Diving and I highly recommend it. I stayed in one of the green bungalows, a triple. The bungalow was so nice. The bed was soft, it has at least one if not two pillow tops, making it as comfy as my mattress at home. Soft pillows that were not old. There are blackout curtains in the room, allowing for great sleep. The refrigerator, hot water kettle, and safe deposit box both functioned as desired. The air conditioner is new and functions perfectly. The bathroom was fully remodeled and has an on-demand water heater, allowing for hot or lukewarm showers as you prefer. There was also a thigh-level spigot to allow freshwater rinses of gear and clothes used in salt water. The room cleaning staff left the place immaculate, which was so nice to come back to after a long day in the water. The front desk staff were very courteous and helpful. The bungalow porch was lovely to hang out on. The only minor feedback is that the window screens don’t fit perfectly so if you want the windows open you will get some bugs. A minor sidenote to an otherwise flawless performance. The location. Sairee Cottage is right in the thick of it in the bustling heart of Koh Tao tourism. Restaurants, bars, mini-marts, pharmacies, gift shops, laundry, you name it, all within a few minutes' stroll. My bungalow was set away from the Walking Street and the main road, so it was probably the quietest location on my property. Nonetheless, you could hear thumping techno music at night from nearby bars, which goes until midnight. Also because motorbikes are the primary form of transportation here, you could frequently hear them. Sairee Cottage allows motorbike access on the road through the middle of the resort, so it could be a bit loud. Overall despite the rustic charm, this is very much an urban experience. This may be fine if you came to Koh Tao to party or go out. For an introvert who doesn’t drink like myself, it got to be a bit much after a week or so. On the other hand, the location is also an asset – beautiful Sairee Beach is just a few meters away and you can be snorkeling or hopping on the dive boat just minutes from your room. Since most people won’t be making long stays here’s and realistically most people do come to party, I think the location is probably a plus for most people. You’d be hard pressed to do better for a diving resort on Koh Tao than Sairee Cottage. The staff are outstanding, the facilities top notch, and the location is ideal for most. They exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds and I’m grateful for the time I had there. It has my highest recommendation.
