If you want a Robinson Crusoe holiday, Head Tien is as good as it gets if you still want an ensuite, a restaurant and a pool. Utterly charming place, could do a bit more on maintenance, cleanliness & shuttle options for the price, but the staff and location make up for any gaps.
The snorkling is also great - shoals of large parrot fish chopping on coral.
Be aware that it is on an almost vertical hill, so lots of steps up to rooms and down to restaurants so if you're not fit, it might not be for you. It's also isolated and a taxi or shuttle bus away from any action.

Excellent service. Staffs are very nice and carry full service mind. Food was great. Clean room, just a tad too dark to my liking.

Run Away While You Still Can!
This resort was recommended by my wife's sister, but I didn’t expect it to be so disappointing. The only positive aspect was the crystal-clear sea. Everything else needs serious improvement, and I feel like I wasted my vacation money, especially compared to our stay at Ko Samui.
We booked through Expedia and realized too late that our arrival and departure times didn’t match the ferry schedules, forcing us to shorten our stay. The resort offered no compensation.
The bungalow was in poor condition: taped curtains for mosquitoes, a clogged shower drain, damaged wooden panels, and drafts everywhere. The frequent blackouts lasted much longer than expected.
Cleanliness was a major issue; our room was rarely cleaned, and there was a used towel left under the sink the entire time. The beach wasn’t equipped; there were only 8 umbrellas and 35 sunbeds for about 100 rooms, making it a daily struggle to find a spot. Breakfast was limited and of poor quality, with undercooked pancakes and stale croissants.
The on-site restaurant was overpriced and the food was subpar. We preferred to eat in town, where prices were much lower. The staff was generally unfriendly, and the beach was small, with no room for long walks.
Overall, I feel like I wasted my money. The only saving grace was checking out early and spending our last day at a better resort in Ko Samui.

Unorganized start. Didn’t have control of our 4 room booking, but managed it in the end. We had deluxe villa with own pool first night. Felt old -outdated and worn. The rooms was also furthest away from everything - beach, pool, resturant. Last two nights we had Getaway villa - much more fresh, close to everything. Insects at the restaurant - avoid for dinner.

Four star resort, but service, cleanliness, food and upkeep is a three star experience. Still a great choice if you are looking for good value. Very beautiful location and garden. Lots of fish and turtles, but the reef is tired.
4.0 / 5.0
Not quite 4 star. Service ok, but a little slow. A few areas around the beach could maybe do with attention and some rubbish around our room (& old shoe inner, plastic etc…).
Everything was fine, but could be fab. Dinner quite good, breakfast wasn’t great quality or taste though.
Overall good & a nice resort.

Staff here are friendly and super helpful, great service. Coral reef in front of hotel were not much to see. You still can see fish and turtle. You can rent a boat to snorkel around island for reasonable price. Breakfast good choices were okay. Overall we were enjoyed and happy. We would be back and stay here again if we come back to this Island.
2.0 / 5.0
The location is unbeatable. The beach is amazing and the structure itself is very nice. However, is way too overpriced, mostly as the room are not so kept up to date and cleaned ( limestone for example ). Staff was nice once there, but never really replied to emails before and info about available tours at the property.
There’s no need take the best room available, as you will stay all day at the swimming pool or beach.

booked 4 nights a Haadtien Villa, good size and equipped but really need to be updated, many details looked worn, used and old. Restaurant food okay, breakfast good and nice choices for international and asian taste. Swimming pool is nice, biut water wasn't really clean unfortuantely.
Beach, sand and sea nice. Location a bit isolated, you need taxi ora bike to go other restaurant etc

The property is not 4*
The shared areas like the restaurant are unclean
There seems to be a lot of staff who do very little
There needs to be more security on the beach. Outside guests are not supposed to be within 25m of the beach properties, however this is not implemented by the security and outside guests lay wherever they want. Outside guests also fly drones right up to the windows of the guest properties which felt like invasion of privacy. The bus is at unhelpful hours so not much use.
The water was filthy and snorkelling was not possible - may not be the fault of the hotel - however they do not clean up the beach of dirt, leaves and general litter. Syringe found on beach outside room.
The shuttle to the ferry is too late, all guests nearly missed their ferry. The ferry is at 930am departure, the bus does not leave until 9/910 and is at least a 15 minute drive due to the suitcases being on the roof of the vehicle and needing to drive slow. This hotel needs improvement or to significantly decrease their prices

This property is not well kept, It's a 3 stars resort at best. The common bathrooms are dirty. The prices for food at the resort (although the food is good) is quite expensive, as expensive as some of the 5 stars resorts on the main islands. The breakfast options are very limited. we had to change room and both times the toilets seats were damaged. The hot water was not working properly. And finally the resort is severely under staff. Avoid at all cost!

The setting of the resort is outstanding on a beautiful hillside with excellent snorkelling directly from the beach. If you want peace and a great place to recharge then this is it

A 4 star property, with 3 star service. We paid for the private beach front villas and there were always random people camped out in our beach area, despite the private sign. Staff doesnt explain private and public areas upon check in.

Everyone was very nice and helpful. Property was gorgeous! Hotel picks you up and drops off at ferry. They also shuttle into town because the location is away from the main areas of the island. Would 100% stay again.

I really liked the property and liked how clean the room was, however I did not like how far it was from everything else on the island. If you missed the shuttle to town you had to pay extra to get a taxi back to the hotel.

The beach at the Haadtien was absolutely beautiful! Very clean and not super busy. They do allow outside guests but the guests have to pay to get in and we didn't find that it brought in too many people. However, the pool itself looked like it needed cleaned. The water was a murky color. The rooms were very nice, nothing super fancy but we really enjoyed the privacy they offered. Also, the beds were super comfortable! A buffet breakfast is included and it was pretty good. The pool/beach bar does a happy hour from 4-6 which was really awesome, the mojitos were delicious! We found the food and drink to be very reasonably priced here. Haadtien location is about 8 minutes from Sairee beach.

The hotel is perfectly situated. Ideal for snorkeling and diving. The quality of the food is not up to standard. Breakfast has the obvious choices but quality is poor. Staff is not as friendly as you are used to in Thailand. Bar closes early, there is no entertainment at all. Restaurants and bars are at a 20 min taxidrive.
So an ambiguous experience.

Pros:
- Very nice resort grounds - right next to shark bay
- Nice pool area
- Love the breakfast
- Comfortable/cozy rooms (stayed in the Hideaway bungalow)

We absolutely loved the Haad Tien resort. It’s a quaint spot located on a secluded beach away from all the action on Sairee Beach. Food is good, snorkeling is great, and you can’t beat a spot RIGHT on the beach!

Great grounds but overall the hotel is not as good as i expected. The pool is pretty small for the number of guests and was a little dirty.The beach is lovely but we were disappointed with the coral, most of it is dead! We did however see Sharks and Turtles one afternoon, but did have to swim quite far off the beach (200m). Having been to Koh Tao before as a backpacker 5 yrs ago we did notice the state to the coral had gone down a lot all over the island.The shuttle bus is very useful as we went to town most nights. The food at the hotel is ok, again not amazing.The service was ok, not as good as most other places we have stayed at in Thailand. For example we booked the Ferry trip through the hotel and despite booking it with them in person, they had to phone us three times (once at midnight the day before) to confirm the details.

Our stay at the Haad Tien was amazing, but could have been better. We booked a beach villa, which was fabulous but not perfect! We loved having direct access to the beach, our own sun beds and outside seating area. We were less impressed by air conditioning that only worked on one setting, and lighting that completely failed to illuminate the villa (started off romantic but got irritating quickly when you couldn't see yourself in the mirror before you went to dinner!) Check out was a nightmare.....we settled our bill the night before we were due to leave, as we were getting an early hotel transfer to the ferry, and thought this would save time. The following morning, however, the receptionist challenged what we'd paid (apparently, we'd paid for 2 Chang beers at 200 bahts each, but had actually had a Chang and a Leo at 200 bahts each - we failed to see a problem as we'd paid 400 bahts!) and wouldn't let us leave. We paid again to try and end the problem and speed things up, as we needed to get to the ferry, but by the time we'd done this the driver had actually left without us!! I thought that was totally unacceptable, and it has left a negative impression of the hotel with us.
