Great hotel
1.0 / 5.0
Beautiful cliff resort with access to snorkeling. Enjoyed a few salads. It’s isolated and there are many steep hills so be aware of this if you have issues with climbing or are wanting a party scene. It’s nice and quiet and away from it all. Rooms are a little dated but the view makes up for it. My only issue was the price for off season was a little high and the 17% service charge plus VAT on top of the bill was a surprise. I am a generous tipper with service so I always find these fees insulting. I was also told I could not work on my laptop during lunch and really wanted to eat while working and was told to sit in the lobby. Later I found out this was an error but I requested to eat and work several times and was told by the restaurant I could not do that. Breakfast is quite nice with many options. I’ve stayed all over the islands here and aside from price point, it was a nice stay for work and play. Too bad Thailand happy hours didn’t include wine!

This was the 3rd time we have stayed here. Very relaxing with nice pool, close to small quiet beach and a short walk to Chalok Bay. Breakfast is simple but adequate. The restaurant isn't bad, maybe a bit pricey compared with others around, but lovely setting high on the hillside.

Excellent experience. Highly recommended. Staff extremely friendly. Will come back.

The hotel is in a beautiful spot, and the rooms are gorgeous. They also provide free shuttle to the pier, which we utilised every night to go for dinner. My only issue was the restaurant. It was very expensive, and the quality not good for what you're paying. Drinks were mostly made of ice. Our first night we ate at the restaurant and the waitress was very bothered by our presence. We just wanted to order food and drinks and she rolled her eyes at us walking away. If they had better service and quality we probably would have had more meals there.

The hotel is built along a slope facing the ocean so that the view from nearly everywhere is absolutely breath-taking. The structure of the hotel means there are a lot of steep stairs to get from your room to the restaurant/reception/pool etc and I would therefore not recommend this hotel to anyone unfit or unable climb a large number of stairs. The hotel service is great with shuttles available to a more lively area on the island as the hotel is situated in quite a remote area. The facilities at the hotel are really good although they aren't very well maintained (beach is covered with collapsing old unused bars, gardens are not well kept) giving a slight eerie atmosphere. The hotel was also unable to respond to any of my emails and finding a number for the hotel that is still in use was more challenging than should be. Otherwise, a lovely place.

The hotel is built on a slope facing the ocean so the views are incredible from anywhere on the property. Because of its structure, a lot of steep stairs have to be climbed to reach the pool/your room/etc. Not advised for anyone unfit or with physical problems. The service is excellent and free shuttle services are available to town as the hotel is quite a distance from any restaurants etc. The management of the hotel could be improved upon. While the facilities are great, its maintainance seems to be lacking (eg. Junk all over the private beach, Gardens not looked after)

We had nothing but issues with this hotel from the moment we walked in. -Our safe was not working-The water has issues 50% of the days. Some days it wouldn't turn on at all, some days it would come out brown. -Our a/c was broken (they did fix it for us the next day) -Our bags were covered in hundreds of little bugs that looked like small red ants. -We already paid for our hotel but they rang through someone's credit card (not ours) when we got there and showed us saying that it was for our payment. -Our fridge was missing a few items the list said we had.

This place is a bust. We took the shuttle into town, when it picked us up it was an hour late. Terrible location. Ants. Lots of ants, even in the food at breakfast. The only reason we could stay our four nights here was because of the French man who worked at the front counter, did a good job. Other than him, the staff is brutal.

This hotel is lovely. They have spectacular views! And their quality manager was very helpful, thorough, and friendly. However, the hike up and down this property is terrible, especially with the weather. You have to hike up and down steep stairs to get to the restaurant, the pool, the bar, and the beach! Also, they provide a free shuttle to town but only a few times a day so if you're looking to go to town your limited those times unless you want to pay a hefty taxi fee.
On another note, I would not recommend diving with their dive resort onsite either (Dive Wishes). They are much pricier than other dive companies and we did NOT have a good experience with them.

5.0 / 5.0
We were very nervous going to this hotel because we have had many bad experiences through out our hotel stays in Thailand. Also the reviews we read on this place were not too good.
We loved it! Location was perfect! Our view was stunning (room number was 3425), room size perfect, location to pool, beach, restaurant and bar was perfect. This hotel provides free shuttle to and from town, 15 minute walk to another village with more stunning beaches, great restaurants and bars. Yes everything is up hill but you can't change the lay of the land and it's a great work out for the butt (which 95%of us need). The breakfast was the best by far in Thailand, staff arranged boats and taxi for our 5 am departure plus gave us "breakfast boxes" to go which consisted of a ham and cheese sandwich, boiled egg, fresh fruit and orange juice. We absolutely would stay here again and definitely would recommend you stay here if visiting Koh Tao.

The staff was absolutely amazing! We were there on our honeymoon and they upgraded us to a villa! Such a great experience- the staff were so nice and the views were amazing! We had amazing breakfasts and the pool was excellent. I would stay there again in a heartbeat! Free pickup from the pier, which is a huge savings!

Fabulous hotel. Stunning views every morning. Very kind staff, amazing food, beautiful & clean villas. Only consideration is location on island however the hotel provides shuttles a few times a day.

The only good thing about this place was the Manager who was kind and understanding. We went during low season and the resort was practically empty. The room was okay, definitely not worth what we paid for and the bathroom window was broken allowing insects and mosquitoes. The food was pretty bad. We had a worm in our Thai curry. When we brought up this issue with the owner, she didnt seem to care at all. The location of this place is quite lovely but the place is neither maintained nor well serviced. We better enjoyed our stay in a hostel at Chalok Bay main road. Would not recommend this place at all.

This resort not only has excellent staff and employees, but the view, accommodation and amenities were all first class. There is a genuine sense of concern for their guests comfort from everyone from the maids to the manager. The private beach is a wonderful snorkeling and sunbathing spot, beautiful coral and fish just a short distance from the rooms. I cannot fully describe how excellent the experience of staying here was. If you get the chance stay at the Pinnacle. Oh yeah, almost forgot the food! From the provided breakfast buffet which was most excellent to the exceptional dinners enjoyed while watching the sun slowly set into the bay. Absolutely beautiful.

We stayed 2 nights and didn't expect too much because of some reviews from other guest.our expericences were okay.
The welcoming was warm and all the
Personal is very kind and friendly! We didn't met one who didn't greet or smile! So well done!!' Breakfast was pretty good! They were the first hotel in Thailand who provided Nutella and peanut butter! We liked it. The serve all kind of eggs so yiu just have to order it! That was pretty cool!The only thing they can improve is to provide bred not only toast.
The hotel is not the newest and you can see it especially in the rooms.We had the most trouble with the shower. For washing my middle long hair it was almost difficult because there was less less less water coming out of the brush.The bad is full of calk so you mention there they have problems with the water quality.We had a lot of ants in our room coming out of the tv cable. The sheets for the couches are dirty as hell. The beach was not that good. You can't go for swimming. My boyfriend and I cut out whole feets off because of the corals its dirty and unconftable at the house beach but you can walk 15 min to a pretty nice beach there are less people and it's a good snorkeling place. You have to be very strong because the back way is not that easy because of the hill
We knew that theTe hotel is build in hills and that was fine for us. The shuttle inside the area worked pretty good and the view was amazing! You are in the nowhere that was the reason Why we Changed the hotel

The hotel is in a more secluded part of the island (although the hotel offers free shuttle buses to the more busy part of the island), the resort is on a hill so has incredible views. The resort pretty much has its own private beach as access is only from the resort or by kayak, its beautiful and lovely for snorkelling, and another short walk their is an even more picturesque beach with crystal clear waters and is perfect for a swim, sunbathing and snorkelling. The island has many amazing and afordable snorkelling/diving trips.

We loved our private bungalow with incredible ocean view! Comfy bed and delicious food on site. The breakfast buffet is outstanding. Totally recommend for the price, although it's a bit far from town if you want some more of that action. We stayed two nights near Sairee beach to enjoy that aspect of the island and then closed out our vacation with two perfect nights here as a treat to relax and unwind.

Great pool and deck area. Rooms were private and had amazing views of the ocean. There is a dive shop located onsite, however it operates independently of the hotel. The manager was not very accommodating and due to the location of the hotel on the island and the main boat being in the shop, our dive sites were limited. It would be fine for beginner divers, however we expected more from a hotel with 'Dive Resort' listed in their name.
Restaurant provided great food and service and was opened throughout the day.
A worthwhile place if you are looking for a relaxed location that is accessible to busier locations on the island.

This hotel is located on the southern end of Koh Tao. It costs about $10 and takes 20 minutes or more for each ride in to town ( each way). So it's a bit costly and not very convenient.The resort would suit couples who want to stay away from town in a quiet place.

Really enjoyed this resort. All staff are very friendly.Bungalows was good, very spacious with stunning views. Overall a great experience. Will definitely go back.
