About The AVA Resort Koh Tao
The AVA Resort Koh Tao sits on the hillside along the road north of Sairee Beach, above the west coast, so its rooms and pool look out over the Gulf toward the sunset. It's a few minutes by scooter or taxi from Sairee's restaurants and dive schools, rather than on the sand.
Rooms are spacious, and the pool and its view are what reviewers mention first, along with a small café on site for coffee and light meals. The complaints are practical ones. Reception closes in the evening, the hot water can take a while to arrive, and rooms near the garden pond can be loud with frogs at night, so ask for one away from it.
It suits couples who want a quiet room with a view and plan to rent a scooter or use taxis to get around.

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts
Compare OTAs and Direct Rates
Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.
Location Matters More Than Stars
A well-located 3-star hotel often beats a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, staying near a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the beach you actually want matters most.
