This place is magical. We went here 5 years ago as well and booked again. Then saw the reviews and got a little scared. Really have to say it was so lovely again. I would recommend booking a bungalow which is at the spacious part of the hotel with sea view. So beautiful. No the bungalows are not build yesterday and are a bit older but everything was comfortable, didn’t find any stains anywhere. The breakfast was good. Nothing outstanding but everything you need. Fresh eggs made for you. The coffee machine is a bit slow so you have to wait sometimes 5-10 mins. But there is also a pot of filter coffee when you don’t want to wait. We are on a holiday so no rush right :) A motorbike is recommended but they also have pendel busses. We stayed here for a week and had the best time. Miss it already 🌺

Nothing :)

I don’t understand why the reviews on booking are so low thank God I checked Google reviews before I checked. My stay it was exceptional! the resort is operating in European standards super clean perfect spot the island is tiny they are offering shuttle service and the beach and the pools are to die for. I wish I had booked all my stuff in Koh Tao to this hotel!

The booking.com reviews confused me but I saw some YouTube vlogs on how this resort is and Google reviews and I am happy I did otherwise I wouldn’t have booked! I would definitely would come back! I have nothing to complain!!!

The beach, the breakfast, the location and the rooms and the way the hotel was built are fantastic. It’s a beautiful place and the hotels blends and hide in the scenery. Perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. Rooms are good but could be better for that price.

No one was waiting for us and helped to take our luggage to reception when we arrived. It’s was a bit slippery and would have been nice to have someone to help. No welcoming drink as it usually happens in hotels. Staff in ge eral could be more friendly and helpful.

Haadtien is located in a magnificent bay with superb views (also from the restaurant) and a splendid palm tree garden, including a beautiful pool. The bungalows have an authentic and unique style, offering everything that is needed (the daybeds are awesome). The staff is very friendly and helpful, and even supported us in organizing a transfer on Koh Samui, for which our next accommodation would have overcharged us. The resort is located a bit off the beaten track — this is something that we enjoyed very much, but of what you should be aware of. In sum, we liked it so much, we even extended our stay for an additional night.

The one thing that Haadtien really needs to improve is the breakfast. While the coffee is good and there is an egg station, for example, we really missed fresh fruit juices. Frankly, we were a bit worried because of some of the mediocre reviews lately. We understand the criticism that many things are quite worn-out (e.g., the mattress, parts of the interior, the sunbeds). For us, this rather conveyed the impression of a Thai jungle feeling and did not have any impact on how much we enjoyed staying at Haadtien. However, the resort must pay attention that it does not reach a tipping point, where more people start to feel uncomfortable.

Beautiful views, very clean and tidy and lovely swimming pools. Breakfast choice very good and accommodation units well spaced out with great individually allocated outside space.

Accommodation is a bit tired and could have done with better communication from staff/reception around what was open/available - e.g. one restaurant not open, long boats from beach not available every day but hard work to find this out! Very isolated so taxi/shuttle needed to get anywhere. A lot of steps to reception so no good for anyone with poor mobility.

Excellent location on shark bay to see fish, turtles, sharks when snorkelling straight from the beach. Friendly staff. Good size pools and outdoor showers for after the beach. Beach houses were nicely finished in dark wood, felt luxurious, with mosquito net attractively draped over the bed, and plenty of space in them. Gardens are well maintained and attractive. The free kayaks and paddle boards were great.

We didn't eat in the resort - it looked expensive and prior reviews led us to believe the quality wasn't commensurate. However the location of the dining looked great, and the breakfast (included in the room rate for us) was good. The eating areas are well decorated. The rustic rooms had lots of air gaps for mosquitoes -maybe why the net was provided. The general standard of maintenance and cleanliness was just not commensurate with a 4* expensive place - staff repeatedly walked past litter, rooms had little things broken. Not a big deal, but not for example what we have experienced in turkey and other places which were immaculate.

The most beautiful resort we have ever stayed at, the views and beach are so amazing and everything is so picturesque especially the pool. The breakfast was perfect every morning.

We chose the castaway villa from the pictures and Idea of being right on the beach, our villa was beautiful however not on the beach like the others therefore slightly disappointed. The food at the restaurant was extremely expensive and not amazing, it would be much better if the shuttle was more frequent and offered pick up as well as the drop off, not ideal having to book it the day before either - not very flexible.

The resort was outstandingly beautiful and special. Loved the pools which were always maintained perfectly and the beach was one of the most beautiful on Ko Tao. We even saw a giant sea turtle snorkeling.

The loungers and sunbeds at the pools were already blocked by guests in the morning. You had to be quick and run to one, once a person left. The hotel should ban blocking and put up signs, so that guests who don’t use them and aren’t even around can’t block them for the whole day.

The beach has two residents turtles and its a must for snorkling. Boats from outside come to the beach, while if you stay here, you can have the beach for yourself.

It's a lot of money per day, though the place is amazing. The beach could have more organization among groups that come on the boats out from the hotel. A very sad event occur during our stay, when one person got lost while snorkling and got picked up uncounscious from without breathing. The hotel provided a very quick response with an ambulance entering the hotel, but again the tours entering the beach should have more staff on the water boats and surveillance in the water. Be aware of the danger while swimming without life saving vest as it can be easy to get lost from the boats or your group.

beautiful pool on the lawn, spacious room with lovely views, stunning beach, descent breakfast, well maintained gardens, free shuttle service

- there weren’t enough sun beds available by the pool on the lawn. another row could easily be added - no member of staff was monitoring who used the pool and sun beds, which resulted in people from the beach using the facilities - unfortunately there is a lot of rubbish on the beach. this is not the hotels fault, but more could perhaps be in place to help collect the rubbish that washes up during the day - free shuttle service could be extended to slightly later hours
