They were fantastic and we were really happy with the choice we had made in choosing a place to rent a... More

Friendly staff, big room, all rounder for the money. Staff helpful, good wifi connection in room. Very short walk to beach and bars etc only thing I missed was not having a pool but that's just because sand drives me insane!

It was a great stay in a great location but I can't help but focus on my last day. A couple of holiday makers came into to use the Internet and the staff were very rude and unpleasant to them because the Internet was very expensive. It may be wrong to judge this place on something I didn't experience myself... More

We stayed here for 7 nights and wished we could have stayed much longer. The owner and every staff member are lovely and very helpful. Felt very at home here. Positives: * Close to the beach (1 min walk) but away from the noise. * great clean rooms that get serviced daily * owner greets you by name (always nice)... More

Didn't know what to expect from Sun Smile or Koh Tao for that matter - but in short it was all fab! Koh Tao as a place would strongly reccommend - lively enough to keep you busy and entertained but not overcrowded like many of the other Thai islands. Sun Smile was ran by a friendly, helpful english-speaking guy and... More
