Description

Blue Tao Beach Hotel is a 3-star hotel on Sairee Beach, Koh Tao, 1.2 km from the town centre, with direct access to the sand. Set beside the island’s main west-coast beach, it is close to a walking street lined with restaurants, bars and shops, with sunset views towards Koh Nang Yuan. Guests often appreciate the beachfront setting and the staff’s help with transfers and local recommendations.

Room choices include beachfront and sea-view options, as well as city-view rooms. Twin and king layouts accommodate up to two people, and the rooms have air conditioning, private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs and minibars. Sea-facing rooms add a balcony and terrace. Outside, you can use the garden, sun terrace and beach seating, or join activities such as snorkelling and diving. The hotel also has a tour desk, concierge service and shuttle service. WiFi is free in the rooms, but there is no parking on site. Nearby bars bring a lively evening atmosphere, and some guests report hearing music late at night.

Rooms

6 room types · 18–30 m²

The six room types fall into three view groups: two 30 m² beachfront rooms, two 24 m² sea-view rooms and two 18 m² city-view rooms. Each group includes a twin and a king configuration, so you can choose between separate beds and a double bed. All rooms have air conditioning, a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV and a minibar.

The sea-facing categories include a balcony and terrace, while the beachfront types face the shore.

Room facilities also include a shower, free toiletries, towels, slippers and a hairdryer. Every room type accommodates up to two people, with the larger sea-view rooms offering more space.
