The resort is very run down, served up with a high price “over 2000 b per night “ and a bigger smile, the bay is beautiful so nothing will change most likely.
Always great to stay there. I love the bungalows with their great view. They are quite simple, but that's all I need.
Very quiet bay. WiFi was also pretty good in the Restaurant - doesn't work what well outside of it though.
Would go there again.
We stayed in a small bungalow up the hill, the view from there was amazing! We had our own bathroom and a fan, it was so windy up on the hill so we did not even miss ac.
The staff was super friendly and always happy to be at our service. The restaurant is cozy with fenomenal food for a cheap price!
The beach is beautiful and the hotel offers sunchairs and hammocks at the beach for free. The water is clear blue and full of fish!
We booked snorkling trips through the reception and they also have taxi service..
Amazing view and quiet location away from busy sairee beach. But VERY far from everything. Dangerous gravel road and no store for miles. I stayed in a fan bungalow. And was charged 1100baht a night. The man who worked there admitted it was 800 by mistake. After I had already payed. The electricity would turn off daily which meant no fan. The wifi is a joke. They say they have wifi..they should just be honest. It dosent work maybe once a little in 5 days. The food is good and kItchen and waiting staff where great. A normal fan bungalow on the beach is around 600baht. I was ripped off. And couldn't get my money back from expedia or the hotel. Don't do it you can get much better value for money in many places on the island. Tenote bay is worth a day trip tho.
Hotel room was a dump however we got the cheapest room, view was absolutely amazing. Electrics hanging off wall and dark rooms and hole in ground in toilet! All this said you get what you pay for and the view from the hammock defiantly worth it. Location a bit of a nightmare for getting the main party strip costing 500 baht per person and 600 baht the way back! Tanote bay easily nicest bay on koh toa and a must see for everyone.
We booked the hotel via Expedia a couple days before our arrival and when we arrived, the staff didn't even know we had a reservation and they were very un-welcoming. After we showed them the confirmation on our cellphone, they took us to our bungalow. Even though we had booked the priciest room (with sea view and air conditioning), we were very disappointed by it (there was no safe as it was supposed and no fridge), a very basic room. The AC wasn't working well and they laughed at us when we asked them to check it out and they pretended not understanding English. They didn't clean the room neither gave us new towels for the three nights we stayed there.
We spent our whole time in the other resort next to ours, named Montalay Bay, where the staff was friendly and the food very good (we should have booked with them).
Our stay at Family Tanod Bay Resort was unfortunately the worst of our 3 week stay in Thailand. We paid for 3 nights but actually only stayed 1 and checked into another hotel in the bay.
The staff on arrival were very disorganised and un-welcoming. We had been trying to call the hotel to arrange a pick up transfer prior to our arrival but they never answered the phone. Our room was very basic to say the least - a bed and a table and a single light bulb in a dark wooden room was not what we expected. The 2 large Gecko's in the bathroom were a nice surprise as well. The mattress and bed sheets were old worn and very uncomfortable. We tried to ask to move but after being ignored first time round we didn't bother persuing this and promptly moved.
As a positive the room did have a lovely balcony which looked out over the bay. The bay itself and beach is also lovely and great for snorkelling.
Staff went out of their way to help us out. The cheaper rooms are higher up from the beach, but they were much larger and well built than any other bungalow that I've stayed in. During our 4 day stay, not one mosquito got into our room. =)
This hotel was a great value for what we paid. It was right on the beach and the view from our bungalow was incredible. If you're looking for the same service and accommodations as a five-star resort, you won't find it here. You can't use air conditioning until after 6pm and you can't flush toilet paper in the bathroom. But the beach, remoteness, and view make up for this. You need a four-wheel drive vehicle to access the hotel, and it's sometimes recognized as Tanote Bay Resort instead of Family Tanod Bay Resort. The staff doesn't hover but will be helpful when you make a request. The lounge area/restaurant had a fun hostel atmosphere- you put in your own orders to the kitchen and can play games, drink and socialize with the other tourists while overlooking the beach. Good, cheap food- my husband highly recommends the shakes!
One tip- if you're coming from the pier, be sure to book your transfer to the hotel ahead of time or else you'll end up paying 2-3x more for a taxi once you arrive.
Away from it all on the opposite side if the island to the party/dive shop crazy west coast. £10 taxi from the pier, cute huts set in a maintained garden, great sea view, from the hammock on our deck. Real family fun place with friendly staff. Good food at the onsite restaurant. 1 min to the small quiet beach with good snorkelling if not to windy.
Didnt try to walk anywhere else as very hilly but could taxi/rent scooter if you want to discover more than beach, sea and relaxation.
Personnel très gentil. Nous avions pris la suite parentale qui a l'avantage d'avoir la clim et un réfrigérateur. Mais contrairement aux autres chambres elle n'a pas de vue. Très bon rapport qualité prix. Beaucoup de poissons visibles avecun masque très facilement.
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour. Nous devions avoir 2 bungalows simple en bois (bp de marches à monter, mobilier simple et pas d'eau chaude) et le responsable nous à proposé une chambre de 4 personnes plus récente et plus/mieux équipée (clim, eau chaude et tt prêt de la plage).
La plage de Tanote est une des plus belle plage de l'île (et nous avons vu une quantité de poissons incroyables ! Meme un tt petit requin à pointe noire !! Top). Il y a un club de plongée juste à côté (langue allemande, française et anglaise !). Plusieurs restos à proximité (celui de l'hôtel est très bien mais ferme à 21h !).
L'île est toute petite mais mieux qd même de louer un scooter. Tout ce que nous avions lu sur la location de scooter à Tao nous avait fait peur (grosse pente et arnaque des loueurs). Nous avons loué juste à côté de l'hôtel un scooter tt abîmé (tant mieux) et en effet le loueur était super cool et n'a même pas vérifié l'état du scooter au retour (250 bath par jour). Et pour ce qui est de la géographie de l'île, les gens font peur pour presque rien, il suffit de rouler tranquille !!
L'hôtel mériterait d'être mieux entretenu parfois mais vu le prix j'y retournerai avec plaisir !
Traumhafter Blick über die Bucht. Gutes Essen im angeschlossen Restaurant. Personal an der Rezeption recht unfreundlich. An den meisten Unterkünften wurde anscheinend schon lange gewenig gemacht. Der beworbene Transferservice in den Ort kann zweimal täglich genutzt werden. Die Rückfahrt kostet dann unangekündigt den doppelten Preis.
Wunderschöne Gartenanlage. Die Bungalows sind sauber und erfüllen ihren Zweck, Heißwasser ist eher rar, das Mobilar sollte dringend ersetzt werden. Einziger echter Minuspunkt ist das Essen, aber es gibt am Strand gute Alternativen. Ohne Aircon kann es im Zimmer sehr heiß werden. Wäschekluppen mitnehmen, es geht ständig der Wind. Ausflugsboot am anderen Ende des Strandes buchen (neben dem Massagesalon)
