lovely stay overall
Nice hotel, friendly staff and a lovely position overlooking Sairee beach. Close to all the action. Pool looked a bit murky but the sea is outside! Also, breakfast in the cafe opposite was mediocre - mainly the quality of the food - choice was reasonable but the orange juice was too diluted, the bacon and sausage was not to my taste and the croissants soggy. There were other things so you could find enough to keep yopu going. We had an upgraded room overlooking the beach both ways. The room was spacious and bed huge and comfy - no complaints. Overall - would fully recommend.

Bathroom towels were horrendous, old and stained with ragged edges. Room was large, AC worked okay. Bathroom had no amenities including hand soap (okay so we used shower gel to wash hands). Location is incredible though and sunsets here are 10/10, so we would recommend this place anyways. Staff was not very friendly or helpful, young woman actually rolled her eyes at me when I couldn’t get our door lock to work. Breakfast was okay, not great but whatever.

The front desk service staffs were excellent. The walkway leading to the rooms require some maintenance work. Not much variety and options with the included breakfast. Only coffee is included as standard while espressos or cappuccinos are extras, which is different from the other hotels we experienced in Bangkok, Koh Samui and Ko PhaNgan.

Good location and the sea view was beautiful. The whole place was pretty run down though (safe in my room didn’t work, tv didn’t work, some holes in bed sheets, bad smelling shower, low water pressure on bidet). I think for the price (quite expensive) these things are expected to be better. Not sure if there are better hotels nearby so I would be open to staying again as the view was amazing!

Beautiful property and amazing views clean room
This hotel was amazing- beautiful views of the ocean and amazing sunset from our room every night. Very close to great restaurants and public beach. Im not sure where the restaurant/ bar advertised us we never saw one or were told about this. Luckily there is plenty of food a short walk away. We were able to do laundry here affordably. I wish there was more monitoring of the pools and maybe one reserved for adults. Each day kids from a couple families would be leaping pool to pool splashing and loud which we could hear from the room. I was surprised staff didnt ask them to calm down. Otherwise still a great experience just somethings to note for the hotel since it was a more expensive stay for us.

Beautiful Sunset Views
I enjoyed my stay at Simple Life Cliff View Resort so much I ended up extending my stay for an extra night. I splurged on an ocean view room and was rewarded with one of the most gorgeous sunset views I've ever seen. The rooms are spacious and have very comfortable beds as well as hammocks and cushioned benches outside for lounging. The hotel is in a great location on the south end of Sairee beach within walking distance of restaurants and dive shops. They are affiliated with Simple Life Divers which is located less than a 5 minute walk away which I would also highly recommend. The only downsides I can think of is that the reception area closes early in the evening and the water in the shower takes a long time to heat up, but these are relatively minor inconveniences. Overall I'd definitely stay here again while visiting Koh Tao!

Great staff and food! They responded to all of our requests and got us off to the ferry upon our departure. Chef Jim was very professional and personable! Just on the fringe of the night life of Sairee Beack, one can pull back from most of the noise! Breathtaking views! Our deluxe room was huge!!!

Nice location but facilities are not considerate
Staff is friendly, location and the view from the room is great. However, there are some areas which need to be improved: 1) there is no shower curtain, so the whole floor of the bathroom gone wet 2) the toilet flushing system doesn’t work, we have to refill the water tank ourselves every time 3) the water pressure of the shower is quite low, and there was one afternoon that there is no hot water coming out from the shower

CONSTRUCTION!! DO NOT STAY IN STANDARD ROOM
I really wish I would have read the review two below this one. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE BOOK A STANDARD ROOM. You will regret it and can easily find something cheaper the day you arrive and not in a construction site. I really have no idea how they are able to rent these rooms out while the area is in such bad condition. I fell down a set of stairs that they had quickly setup to be able to access the room. This was the first night I was in Koh Tao and almost had to get stitches from it. The worst part about the whole thing is that they didn't even offer to upgrade the room when it was clear that they had ample amount of rooms near the pool that were vacant and we had booked on hotels.com for more expensive then they were actually renting the rooms out. Everything about this experience was so bad. I would just avoid staying at this hotel in general unless you can get a pool view then maybe. I would never recommend them to a friend traveling to Thailand.

Book the new area not the old rooms
The new rooms are fabulous but expensive!! Do NOT book the standard room because they don't look like the picture and your out in a construction site. Our room was dirty and we ended up having to pay full price to upgrade rooms and it was much better. But was not happy at all with the first room. Stained sheets, towels, and nasty pillows.

Under Construction
This place is under construction. I'm not talking about hammers. I'm talking bulldozers and mud and not being able to get to your door.
