    - Upkeep of the grounds: pool could be much better tended to. Grounds are in a bit of a state. So many shrubs need pruning. Staff’s idea of cleaning the pavement seemed to be setting off a hose and letting it rip through the gravelly steps for hours on end? Bizarre. Really takes the shine off the place because the grounds and surrounds of the property have great potential but just not maintained well. Same goes for pool furniture- it was just not cleaned at all seemingly. - Zero lighting by the pool: really dangerous and loads of steps, could be a massive health and safety hazard and unthinkable how someone has not yet been hurt - “Wet room” in the bathroom has been taken to a new level, ie. the shower is above the toilet! - Reception: the reception area is effectively a shack and quite unsightly with Christmas decorations up and Christmas music still playing (in April) - Towels were of a poor quality. While I would recommend this place given limited affordable options in Koh Tao, it is plagued by unfulfilled potential and while staff are pleasant, some more training in hospitality and how to run this place may go a long way to helping this place along!

    - Fabulous location - Amazing to have a lodge overlooking the beautiful sea - Good sized beds - Rooms were well made up everyday and loads of free water bottles supplied - Staff were accommodating in arranging taxis when asked - Options are scarcer than one would like when visiting and this is well located, comfortable and has a touch of “wow” considering the view - Infinity pool is a cool feature

    We had one of the bungalows overlooking the pool and were very happy with our stay there. The infinity pool overlooks the beach and the resort has a great view of the sunset! Fresh watermelon is provided to guests every day which was a great touch. Breakfast (served in restaurant next door) was also very nice.

    Only thing I would say was the pool . When we arrived it was green and dirty , Water pressure and bathrooms really need updating (they were clean just worn out )

    The rooms were fantastic, with good room and comfortable beds , the location was great for been walking distance from the main road but far enough that it was quiet of a night ,

    This hotel is a small family friendly hotel. Rooms are spacious inside and outside. Comfortable beds as shower. Outside you have a big terrace with lounge chairs. Perfect to see the sunrise or sunset. Everyday the room is cleaned and in the afternoon you will get fresh watermelon. The owner is very friendly and he will help you with everything for a very good price. We arranged our motorbikes, fishtail and some taxi boats which were great! The swimmingpool is big abd very welcoming after a hot walk or ride. Overall this hotel is very family friendly, no noise at night and great place to stay as a family because the bungalow are quiet big!

    - the beach triple bungalow had very old doors which were not secure. There was a padlock available but the door was warped and left gaps which meant the cool A/C air escaped and mosquitos could enter. To add to this the windows are single glazed - the wardrobe was falling apart - the curtains do not cover all the window and let in the light - Some of the outdoor plastic furniture was not clean - bathroom lighting not sufficient Please bear in mind that we booked the two triple beach bungalows at the resort which we didn’t realize they were the most basic on the resort. The Deluxe bungalows are much more modern and comfortable so pick wisely.

    - the manager was friendly and helpful - the swimming pool and view is gorgeous shaded by lovely trees - nice loungers - free watermelon and water every day - direct access to the sea - rooms cleaned daily with fresh towels - we stayed in the beach triple bungalow and benefited from a brand new bed - large fridge - good shower - sunset views from our balcony - there was an issue with the A/C which the manager helpfully resolved quickly

    Bathroom was quite small and shower and toilet in the same room. However, shower was good.

    Excellent location and good facilities. Great pool and access to a private beach. Room was basic but clean and beds were very comfortable. We were really grateful to the hotel host who allowed us to leave our bags on our last day as our train was at 3pm. He also invited us to use the outdoor pool, booked our taxi and even have us water free of charge.

Good location on the beach within walking distance to nice restaurants and bars. I’ll definitely stay here if I come back to Koh Tao.

    Great location right on the beach, lovely pool and friendly staff. Was only a 10 min walk from the pier, there is a steep bit but not very long (10metres). Private beach is good for snorkelling. Bungalow was lovely and spacious enough for a family of 4. Amazing restaurant next door overlooking the sea too

    It would be great if the poolside would be a non-smoking area. The smoke came to our veranda which I didn't like. The bed was a bit hard for me, but everyone has a different preference.

    First of all, the resort is built in a very thought-through and charming way. I think you get sea view from every bungalow. Our bungalow was spacious enough for us, the bathroom was bigger than I expected. Overall better than we expected. All necessary things vere provided and even a little bit extra. There is really a direct way to go into the water, but don't expect a beach (although it probably depents on the ebb and flow), you need to climb over some big rocks and can go directly into the water. My friend was snorkling and saw a lot of fishes, a bit of coral reef, but mostly white. You can swim easily to the Sairee Beach, I think it's even a more convenient way to get there than by foot! It's a cozy and relaxed resort and there were a TON of restaurants and activities around, but it was not noisy at night.

    The only negative was that our stay was too short...

    What a bliss our stay at Clear View was!!! We spent 6 nights at the standard triple bungalow- beach front (the one with the white fence if you look at the photos from Booking) and we loved it! The bungalow was basic but clean and had everything you would need - a fridge, AC, good size bathroom. The bungalow was cleaned daily and the veranda outfront overlooking the bay was just spectacular! We spent most of our time there anyway:) even though it was the standard bungalow, it was the one with the best veranda and had good shelter from the sun. We noticed that the deluxe bungalow opposite ours didn't have such good shelter so one wouldn't be able to stay much outside their veranda during the day as it would be too hot (pictures attached). The best part is that the guests of the hotel have access to their own little bay which is full of colorful fish and corals. The hotel is located close to many restaurants and a few minutes walk to Sairee beach but it's secluded enough so you don't have any noise during the evenings. If I go back to Ko Tao I would definitely stay again at Clear View! I was a little adamant after reading some of the reviews here but I guess some people expect 5 stars from a 3 star resort... As I said the standard bungalow was basic but the view was 10 stars and the proximity to the water was just incomparable with any other place! It was great for snorkeling. If you want a beach - it's just a few minutes down the road. Breakfast was also good and is served at a restaurant just 1 minute walk from the resort, served til 12pm which is handy if you want a snooze. Overall my husband and I loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone who plans to go to Ko Tao!

    The accommodation itself was quite basic, one of the doors was missing a lock on the bottom which left a gap (think this was how a cockroach ended up getting in!). I’m not sure it was completely worth the money, think the view is what you pay for.

    Location was great and the view was obvious incredible! The staff were very friendly and helpful.
