incredible location

The property is really nice - you are steps away from the beach where you can snorkel and sun tan. We loved our room - however I think it's worth noting that the property is really steep with lots of steps so I'd only recommend this place if you are mobile and fit enough to hike the steps. I also think it's worth noting that getting transportation to town is very expensive so i'd only recommend this property if you a) mostly want to stay at the property your entire stay or b) are comfortable and able to ride a scooter. My partner and I tried to get scooters but the hill to the resort is very steep which left me really anxious. This resulted in us staying at the property our entire stay as the lookouts and number of other sites we wanted to see, were hard to get to, without a scooter. The restaurant food and drinks were fantastic too!

If you want to relax at a peaceful resort in a beautiful area i would recommend...Have a relaxing drink at the infinity poolside bar,snorkel,enjoy food at beachsde restaurant it all here if you want to chill....

Overall okay, location and views really nice. We stayed 3 nights and had a Deluxe ocean view room which was okay, balcony wir beautiful view, but no sun umbrella or similar. Breakfast buffet good, but Nescafe only so nothing if you like good coffee. Dinner was a bit disappointing so we went other restaurants. Sandy beach, sea grass and plankton blooming, so not good conditions for snorkeling. Pool was closed due to problems with the pool water cleaning system, however Staff friendly and helpful

Liked walk to two bays with coral reef; didn’t like internet unreliable and not available several hours; electricity seemed a bit unstable with several power outages and ‘hard’ return of electricity

Das Hotel ist wegen steiler Treppen nicht für jeden geeignet. 4 Sterne nicht gerechtfertigt. Zimmerschloss war ein verrostetes altes Vorhängeschloss.

in Punkto Sauberkeit und Service ist schon viel Luft nach oben. Aber sie sind freundlich und bemüht. Die Lage / Blick/ Schnorcheln etc der Bungalows ist nicht zu toppen

Beautiful and secluded spot. The property itself was lovely but the location is absolutely spectacular. Very nice restaurant and bar on site.

This place is quiet and have a beautiful view but it is not for senior or the faint of heart. To get to the hotel, there are steep roads. At the hotel, there are lots of up and down walkway to get to your room. And lots of stairs. The whole island is great for snorkeling or diving but the beaches are mostly corals. You need a water shoe to go to the beach. This hotel is in a remote area so you need to take taxi to go into town. So be ready to pay. They might still be in pandemic mode because there was no staff at the pool and the front desk only open from 8am to 8pm. They do have emergency number to call if you need anything outside these hours.

Location is stunning. The sunrise in the morning is amazing.....its just the upkeep and management of the hotel desperately needs to improve. If you're trying to offer luxury then service and details really matter!!!

Amazing!! Loved the room, views, staff and amenities. Was quite scary driving up to the resort (do not recommend going at night lol). But so worth it! Defs recommend

The staff and my room were perfect. The whole place is a building site. Everywhere you look halfway completed building and facilities falling apart. Stairway everywhere with no lighting. The morning breakfast in the morning is disgusting.

Lovely situation, good snorkeling, easy access to the sea, staff very friendly and helpful, breakfast OK, limited restaurant menu, many items fried in batter, good selection of well priced cocktails, very comfortable king beds in Delux Beach Front rooms. Resort suffering like most because of the affects of Covid on reduced occupancy for a long period, therefore tired looking. Resort not for anyone with poor mobility as there are lots of steps commensurate with the beauty and ruggedness of the location.

A nice resort if - big if - you have some sort of transportation. Otherwise, far from shops, bars, restaurants. Nice people at the reception, very helpful.

V nice

Completely stunning located at a peninsula built in with true respect for the nature and the old exotic threes and flowers. Excellent maintained with top notch service. Great food and service in the restaurant close to the sea. Great value for money and highly recommended. A definite return rate for any guests who are here for the first stay. A tranquil place with the complete capacity for recharging your mind and you are guaranteed checking out with a cleaned mind. One of the worlds greatest places for humans to clean their minds. A go go place.

Magical. Incredible.

If you love snorkeling, you MUST stay here. Sai Daeng occupies a peninsula that has what may be the best reefs in Koh Tao. This is where the dive and snorkeling boats come, but YOU can stay here. The rooms are comfortable and the views are amazing. The included breakfast is excellent. After breakfast, just head for the water (on either side of the peninsula) and enjoy the fish, turtles, rays, coral, and all sorts of interesting sea creatures. The water on the north side was always clear, the water on the south side can get a little cloudy when the wind comes up. This beats "off the beach" snorkeling I've done anywhere else in Thailand, Hawaii, Florida, Bali, etc. So much easier not to have to take a boat somewhere. The food at the resort is excellent, but it's Thai food (which I love, but I'm just saying....). The staff is friendly and helpful. The place is remote from the town. If you're not on a motorbike you will be dependent on the shuttle and taxis. I found no need to leave the resort at all during the 8 days I spent there (I extended twice, I couldn't leave). This was certainly the best snorkeling experience of my life. If you love to snorkel, whatever you need to do, spend a week at Sai Daeng. You won't be sorry. One warning. The peninsula is on a hill. You WILL need to be climbing steps. If you have problems walking, you'll have to skip this. I'm 74. It wasn't a problem for me, just good exercise. But it might be difficult for some.

My stay was very lovely and I feel like property management runs nicely for traveler since the condition and staff are sufficient and they are helpful. The view is breathtaking and relaxing. The location is suitable for family retreat type because the property is located quite far from night and food markets, but you can do fun activities at one stop like snorkeling and kayaking around beaches and bays. For solo traveler, it is better for you to rent a motorbike from the pier or around busy area, it’s good for you to travel back and forth to enjoy beaches to bays or bays to hill views. Lovely!

I recently stayed at Sai Daeng Resort for a weekend as part of a longer trip to Koh Tao. This resort is tucked away on a small peninsula on the east side of the island away from the main nightlife area, so there aren't any other shops or restaurants within walking distance. However what you get in exchange is a beautiful resort with its own semi-private beach and several kilometers of an extremely healthy reef which offers some of the best snorkeling I've ever experienced. You'll see huge schools of fish and even sea turtles right inside the bays on either side of the hotel. Despite not being completely open yet due to the COVID situation the hotel staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The rooms are beautiful and modern while at the same time blending in well with the surrounding nature. I really enjoyed my stay here and would return again for the relaxing experience, warm staff, and superb snorkeling.

Absolutely amazing!! Will definitely return one day. Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay

A good place but has limited options, too far from the nearest town and an awkward fee for service shuttle schedule.

It is not the place for anyone with mobility problems and The locations is quite distant form the closest town. Transportation is a must because the shuttle service has a fee and the frequency isn’t good. Beyond that it is quiet and relaxing.

The location of the hotel is breathtaking, it is BEAUTIFUL. However, this is not a 4 stars hotel in terms of services and food. The breakfast is terrible, old bread and terrible presentation. The restaurant itself is decadent. Service is REALLY bad. You are essentially dealing with a bunch of people that barely speak English and there is no "Management" to take ownership and oversight. The place is ran by a bunch of incompetent people.
