While being on top of the mountain at 304 ft is certainly picturesque, it proved impossible for us to use a scooter due to the profound steepness of the grade. Therefore, we were forced to walk and take exorbitantly priced taxis from the local taxi mafia that charge $6-$10 usd, for a very short (8 min) ride, depending on the time of day and number of passengers. What’s more, they wouldn’t honor the price the Villa Management told us it would cost, nor would they take us to our steps to the unit! Also, the lighting along the steep stairway is not fully functional, requiring flashlights to navigate when dark. The property should really consider some transport assistance for those who wish to dive daily or patronize local businesses and restaurants, rather than wasting so much money on ridiculous cab fares. Second, the a/c is a typical mini-split system with one unit in the bedroom and the other in the spacious living room. Management has them set so both cannot run simultaneously, meaning one room or the other gets extremely hot very quickly. The one unit in the living room can barely cool the space adequately. If one of you is working remotely and needs a space to work, one of you is forced to suffer through the heat in the other room. The ceiling fans do little than to circulate the hot air that’s risen to the ceiling. Finally, a microwave would be a wonderful addition to the kitchen to warm up leftovers on days guests don’t want to order in or go into town. There is only a tiny manual espresso maker. A small coffee pot would be nice.

The views and pool are outstanding and the rooms are spacious.

The air conditioning was slightly temperamental. The remote didn't always register so it was difficult to change the settings. You could also only have the bedroom or lounge one on at any time which meant one of these rooms was always boiling until you got the ac going. The bathroom was also boiling, we were sweating after getting out of the shower. But I guess it's difficult to get a perfect temperature when the outside is close to 40 degrees!

The villa is gorgeous and exactly as per the photos. We loved how private it felt and the pool was perfect. The views were stunning and it was amazing to have such a great view.

Nothing. Everything was great! Expect insects due to the location but the place itself was very clean and nice.

It has the best view you can have and the pool was awesome, way bigger than I thought with complete privacy. Also the villa itself is pretty big. The staff were very helpful and arranged everything for us with very reasonable prices. Can't wait to come back!

- bed rather uncomfortable (hard mattresses) - staff hung around directly in front and below our villa (Villa infinity) which seems unnecessary. It’s fine if are not busy but please be not busy somewhere else ;) Overall, we highly recommend staying here (even and especially with kid(s))! Should we come back to Koh Tao, we will stay here!

We stayed for 6 nights with a 1.5 yo kid. Our obvious likes: + private pool + view + separate bedroom + staff always helpful via WhatsApp + everything is clean, beautiful villa Our hopefully helpful likes/info for others: + road is crazy steep but still manageable even with a stroller (remember you can instantly use your pool when arriving at the top ;)) + there is a helpful manual with all kinds of restaurants that deliver food to the villa. No extra charge for delivery so you pay the same prices as in the restaurants. Delivery always smooth within 20-30 minutes max, also for breakfast. + the villa offers a taxi service with reasonable prices (although Ko Tao standards are higher). 250 Baht to Sairee area. + scooters can be rented directly at the property - so no need to find one somewhere else. + contrary to other comments: mosquitos absolutely manageable, not more than in Sairee. No snakes or whatever, just some cute geckos!

- need a scooter otherwise you’re lost - breakfast only order from outside

As said by others the villa is located on a hill and can only be accessed through a VERY steep climb. You are completely dependent on a taxi service (with pretty high prices for Thai standards) or a scooter (which we would not recommend since driving on Koh Tao is dangerous and the scooters are all 150cc motorcycles). It is also possible to walk to Sairee Beach - the walk down will take about 15 mins, the way back up about 20 (but the walk will be a challenge if you are not fit). Moreover, the villa is equipped with 2 AC units which are located in the bedroom and the livingroom. Due to the poor electrical network on the island, only 1 of them can be used at the same time. This makes you choose between a cool living area of a cool bedroom.

Very pretty pool villa with one of the best views on Koh Tao. The villa is modern and well maintained, with a large living room and kitchen together with a large bathroom and bedroom. Both the living room and the bedroom are facing the pool as well as the view. The bathroom provides a large shower and double sink. The living room is well-equipped with a smart TV, large sofa and speaker set for music streaming. The kitchen provides some complimentary drinks as well as a minibar. The surroundings are very quiet and you feel like you are staying in the jungle. The hosts are very kind and helpful with answering questions or giving you tips. The villa is also cleaned every day. We very much enjoyed our stay!

The villa is very high up on the hills so it's a little difficult to get to by foot - we ended up renting a bike which made it easier.

Great views, easy access to the centre, private & quiet. The team were also very responsive and helpful - was easy to arrange taxis to the pier even at very early in the morning (7AM).

The bug screen on the main door could use some updating

The property was Amazing and the view incredible. We stayed here for a portion of our honeymoon and it was perfect. The staff were incredibly helpful with day trips and any transportation we needed. Due to the amazing views the property is up a steeper hill but we found it very manageable getting around with a taxi or a bike

Mosquitoes at night, or when it rained. Not too bad, but I bet wet season would be a bit worse

Excellent condition, clean, good staff

Beautiful view from the villa, nice decor. The staff was very helpful, very communicative (always quickly responding to all of our questions, giving tips). The only downside was the access to property (very, I mean, very steep entrance) and some ants inside the villa, which seems quite normal taking into account the property is located inside the jungle. We recommend it especially for the beautiful view in the morning!

Wow this property is absolutely incredible… The view of Sairee Beach from the property is just mind blowing - absolutely stunning!! The staff are so friendly and accommodating, assisting us with taxis to and from the property and also provided us with a seamless bike rental service. As other reviews say, the pool villas are on a steep hill but how else are you going to get those incredible views?! The bike we rented from the property was very new and had plenty of power to get up the hill with two of us on it. If you are comfortable on bikes you will have no issue driving all the way to the top of the hill. The villa itself is just outstanding. Really beautiful inside, very spacious, with brilliant amenities. The pool is huge and nice and deep. So relaxing just chilling out at these pool villas. Regarding location - Koh Tao is so small everything feels like a 10 minute bike ride away. Sairee beach is only a 5 minute drive or less. Thank you so much to the kind and friendly staff at Koh Tao Heights Pool Villas for making our stay unforgettable!!

The villas are located very high up a steep, winding hill. Not many independent taxi services are keen to drive up to the villas. There are stairs up and down, which are fun and thematic enough, however there is no railing. I enjoyed and embraced this element to the villa, as Koh Tao itself is so isolated and the experience was incredible and so close to the action. However, I wouldn't recommend this to immobile or elderly travellers.

Absolutely incredible experience. Koh Tao Heights has set the standard for holiday experiences. I stayed in Villa Horizon, which was immaculate. The pool is even cleaner than in the pictures and the view is breathtaking. The location itself is extremely intimate too, set overlooking the busy Sairee beach in complete silence, high above and surrounded by rainforest. The views from the bathroom and bedroom also add to this experience, where I often saw animals journeying through the trees outside. I would highly recommend bringing a portable speaker too as the accoustics are great and it will be hard to annoy distant neighbours. Best of all is the office team located at the base of the private villa complex. They were available on WhatsApp and provided me with so much helpful assistance! They helped book ferry's, arrange tours, and provided details for their taxi driver who was cheap and very professional (and drives up to your villa)! You are also left with heaps of menus for food delivery options and the team provide cleaners and laundry service on a daily basis. Incredible!

Very steeply which meant that we’d never return to the villa by feet, we needed to take a taxi for a 3-4 min ride.

We loved the villa and the pool (even though the pool water was really cold). The view is more than amazing especially when the sun goes down.

The check-in took a long time (the office was closed, even though we arrived at the open hours) and we waited for about 20 minutes on a hot day, after that we needed to climb on foot all the way to the villa- (and it was so hot and thought and the girls didn't offer a ride or even water).. Besides the unpleasant beginning, everything was wonderfully!

The pool and the view are amazing! The villa is perfect, with all the little details.. We had a great time there.

Dogs barking and chicken making noise at early hours ;)

Absolutely everything was perfect - idyllic villa in perfect location, quiet, secluded, private. Well equipped, though we sticked to deliveries or eating out. Furnishing tasteful, villa super clean, WiFi allowed for work and zoom calls while the kids enjoyed YouTube at the same time ;) I personally loved the steep stairs, so charming. Driving to the reception not so tricky, though I wouldn’t try going higher up. Hotel taxi just great and the local prices. Finally, I want to say that the reception team was incredibly accommodating, always happy to help.

Hard climb by foot back up the hill, needs to grab a taxi every time or rent a car. Motor bike can't really handle the climb up hill if yourvilla is at the very top. The hotel can help with getting a taxi.

We've really enjoyed staying at the Koh Tao Heights pool villa!! The Breath-taking views sets up the atmosphere perfectly, and the fully equipped pool villa makes this hosting very comfortable with home like felling. Infinity pool over looking Satiree beach is incredible!, The villa is very private and you'll feel you've arrived to your own personal safe haven. The villa includes a full size refrigerator, kitchen with dishes and cooking tools. Bedroom is great and has it's own access to the pool deck! The villas aren't too far from the center of Satiree Beach and you can expect about 10 min walk down to the beach, but climbing back up the hill isn't the best idea, so you would either want to get a moter bike if you're expiranced with it, although a motor bike will be a bit hard to climb up this road, so better get ready to use a taxi a lot. Overall I can certainly recommend staying at the Koh Tao Heights Pool Villas Hotel. Enjoy 👌
