Heavenly view from our room and the bathroom. Bed was spacious and comfortable. Room was very cosy anf the staff was very hospitable. The only downside was that we couldn’t smoke in the balcony but other than that no complaints

The place is renovated. Everything looks nice and shiny. Location is good. It’s on the island, so everywhere is five minutes away from where you are. When you wake up you can have some tea and coffee. If you have any questions or need some help, Jesus is there to help you. Thank you for everything.

We had a truly wonderful experience at Mae Ya Resort. From the moment we arrived, the staff was very welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. It’s more than just "a room with a pool." The location features brand new pool villas nestled in the middle of nature, all with stunning sea views. Our villa was extremely clean, beautifully furnished, and equipped with everything we needed. The private pool and patio area provided a fantastic spot to unwind and enjoy the serene surroundings. If you're looking to escape the noise, this is definitely your place. It’s quite remote, so you might want to rent a bike, which can be easily arranged on-site. We will definitely return and highly recommend Mae Ya Resort to anyone visiting Koh Tao!

The staff was great and extremely helpful. On the day I was leaving, they gave me a free lift to the pier. It's not specified in the offer, but in the morning there is a complimentary breakfast for all guests. In bathroom there are small one-use roll towels to dry your hands. I stayed only two nights, but it was superb.

Perfect Island Getaway – Stunning Views & Incredible Hosts! 🌴✨ I can’t recommend Villa Mar highly enough! Located on the peaceful southern end of Koh Tao, this villa feels like a private slice of paradise — far enough from the crowds to truly unwind, yet still close enough to great beaches and restaurants. The views are absolutely breathtaking — every morning we woke up to sweeping ocean panoramas that looked straight out of a postcard. Watching the sunset from the terrace was pure magic. The villa itself is beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. What really made our experience special were the hosts. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed, offering great local recommendations and always being just a message away. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made us feel completely at home.

I had a wonderful stay at the Mar Ozo Hotel. The girls at reception were so nice, kind, and extremely helpful, which made check-in a very pleasant experience. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, with a really nice bathroom and very comfortable beds. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and there was always hot water available. I also appreciated the little details like water in the fridge and being well taken care of while waiting for the room to be ready. Overall, an excellent stay – highly recommended!
