Compare prices
Situated on the island of Koh Tao in Surat Thani province, Blue Tao Beach Hotel occupies a prime coastal position that puts guests within easy reach of the island's famously clear waters and vibrant diving scene. Koh Tao is one of Thailand's top destinations for scuba diving and snorkelling, and this hotel serves as a convenient and comfortable base for travellers looking to make the most of the surrounding marine environment. Guests can expect a relaxed, resort-style atmosphere suited to both couples and independent travellers seeking a laid-back island stay. The hotel's beachside setting means sea views and direct access to the coast are central to the experience, while the property's consistently positive reputation points to reliable standards in accommodation and service. The hotel operates around the clock, making it accessible for guests arriving on late-night ferries, which is a practical advantage given Koh Tao's island logistics. Koh Tao is best reached by ferry from Chumphon or Surat Thani, and the island sees its calmest seas between March and September, making this the most comfortable window for swimming and diving. Travellers planning to dive should consider booking both accommodation and dive courses in advance, particularly during peak season from July to August, when availability on the island fills quickly. Checking the hotel's official website directly for current rates and packages is recommended.
