The room had no water, tea or coffee. Only two electrical outlets besides refrigerators, none in bathroom. No restaurant on site. Had to walk over rough terrain to get to neighboring site to get something to eat or coffee. Obviously had not been maintained in a while. The staff were personable and tried to meet needs. The bed only a bottom sheet and a top sheet folded in with towels. No blanket or comforter.

Another time at Tanote Bay Family Resort

It was my sixth stay in this resort, what remains unchanged is staff - always full of smiles and really helpfull, beatiful beach, nice lonely location, perfect snorkeling, great food in restaurant. On the other hand food and drinks are quite expensive, no room cleaning, bungalow was poor equipped, little bit dirty, but still adequate to price! Would visit again.

The location and the staff are just excellent….5 stars to Beem, front desk and general all-around everything guy with good English. We loved it here….its not for the city princesses or those that haven’t roughed it a little. Never had hot water…it’s steep everywhere here, beers are a little more money but the diving and snorkeling more than make up for it. Liked it here a lot.

Nice Bungalows - Great view

Always great to stay there. I love the bungalows with their great view. They are quite simple, but that's all I need. Very quiet bay. WiFi was also pretty good in the Restaurant - doesn't work what well outside of it though. Would go there again.

Very nice location and staff

We stayed in a small bungalow up the hill, the view from there was amazing! We had our own bathroom and a fan, it was so windy up on the hill so we did not even miss ac. The staff was super friendly and always happy to be at our service. The restaurant is cozy with fenomenal food for a cheap price! The beach is beautiful and the hotel offers sunchairs and hammocks at the beach for free. The water is clear blue and full of fish! We booked snorkling trips through the reception and they also have taxi service..

Great location . Hotel is a rip off.

Amazing view and quiet location away from busy sairee beach. But VERY far from everything. Dangerous gravel road and no store for miles. I stayed in a fan bungalow. And was charged 1100baht a night. The man who worked there admitted it was 800 by mistake. After I had already payed. The electricity would turn off daily which meant no fan. The wifi is a joke. They say they have wifi..they should just be honest. It dosent work maybe once a little in 5 days. The food is good and kItchen and waiting staff where great. A normal fan bungalow on the beach is around 600baht. I was ripped off. And couldn't get my money back from expedia or the hotel. Don't do it you can get much better value for money in many places on the island. Tenote bay is worth a day trip tho.

Best bay in koh toa

Hotel room was a dump however we got the cheapest room, view was absolutely amazing. Electrics hanging off wall and dark rooms and hole in ground in toilet! All this said you get what you pay for and the view from the hammock defiantly worth it. Location a bit of a nightmare for getting the main party strip costing 500 baht per person and 600 baht the way back! Tanote bay easily nicest bay on koh toa and a must see for everyone.

Not recommend it

We booked the hotel via Expedia a couple days before our arrival and when we arrived, the staff didn't even know we had a reservation and they were very un-welcoming. After we showed them the confirmation on our cellphone, they took us to our bungalow. Even though we had booked the priciest room (with sea view and air conditioning), we were very disappointed by it (there was no safe as it was supposed and no fridge), a very basic room. The AC wasn't working well and they laughed at us when we asked them to check it out and they pretended not understanding English. They didn't clean the room neither gave us new towels for the three nights we stayed there. We spent our whole time in the other resort next to ours, named Montalay Bay, where the staff was friendly and the food very good (we should have booked with them).

Family Tanod Bay Resort in Ko Tao

Our stay at Family Tanod Bay Resort was unfortunately the worst of our 3 week stay in Thailand. We paid for 3 nights but actually only stayed 1 and checked into another hotel in the bay. The staff on arrival were very disorganised and un-welcoming. We had been trying to call the hotel to arrange a pick up transfer prior to our arrival but they never answered the phone. Our room was very basic to say the least - a bed and a table and a single light bulb in a dark wooden room was not what we expected. The 2 large Gecko's in the bathroom were a nice surprise as well. The mattress and bed sheets were old worn and very uncomfortable. We tried to ask to move but after being ignored first time round we didn't bother persuing this and promptly moved. As a positive the room did have a lovely balcony which looked out over the bay. The bay itself and beach is also lovely and great for snorkelling.

Bungalow FUN!!!!

Staff went out of their way to help us out. The cheaper rooms are higher up from the beach, but they were much larger and well built than any other bungalow that I've stayed in. During our 4 day stay, not one mosquito got into our room. =)

Family Tanod Bay: relaxed beautiful location

This hotel was a great value for what we paid. It was right on the beach and the view from our bungalow was incredible. If you're looking for the same service and accommodations as a five-star resort, you won't find it here. You can't use air conditioning until after 6pm and you can't flush toilet paper in the bathroom. But the beach, remoteness, and view make up for this. You need a four-wheel drive vehicle to access the hotel, and it's sometimes recognized as Tanote Bay Resort instead of Family Tanod Bay Resort. The staff doesn't hover but will be helpful when you make a request. The lounge area/restaurant had a fun hostel atmosphere- you put in your own orders to the kitchen and can play games, drink and socialize with the other tourists while overlooking the beach. Good, cheap food- my husband highly recommends the shakes! One tip- if you're coming from the pier, be sure to book your transfer to the hotel ahead of time or else you'll end up paying 2-3x more for a taxi once you arrive.

Family Tanod Bay Resort - peaceful location

Away from it all on the opposite side if the island to the party/dive shop crazy west coast. £10 taxi from the pier, cute huts set in a maintained garden, great sea view, from the hammock on our deck. Real family fun place with friendly staff. Good food at the onsite restaurant. 1 min to the small quiet beach with good snorkelling if not to windy. Didnt try to walk anywhere else as very hilly but could taxi/rent scooter if you want to discover more than beach, sea and relaxation.

Emplacement magnifique mais bungalows sommaires

Emplacement exceptionnel dans la magnifique baie de Tanote encore préservée du monde et géniale pour le snorkelling. Personnel vraiment très sympathique et disponible (un merci spécial à la jeune fille adorable du restaurant :), et bonne cuisine même si un peu chère. Par contre bungalows très sommaires, pas très propres et en mauvais état (en tous cas le nôtre ) et surtout nous nous sommes fait dévorer par les punaises de lit et en ramenons donc certainement dans nos bagages ce qui est un vrai problème... Nous déconseillons donc fortement le bungalow 22. Hormis les punaises, si vous ne cherchez pas le luxe c'est un endroit très agréable :)

Bokade en bungalow utan ac, rummet var enligt förväntan. Dåligt tryck i duschen dock samt att jag fick betala igen vid incheckning då hon inte godkände online betalning. Fick tillbaka pengarna av hotels så det löse sig. Trevlig personal i restaurangen och fint läge för en lugn semester med fin strand
