Great view over Mae Haad. Quiet most of the time. Great Thai food close by. Air conditioner worked but not quite cold enough but was ok. Older place but great for price.

*GPS Location is wrong! Check in at Cliff View Simple Life resort* Nice & cheap stay! It's back behind the Cliff View Simple Life resort, which is super nice. So you get most of the amenities and access to the pool and everything as if staying at Cliff View, just a much cheaper, older room. The breakfast buffet is pretty good and only 250 baht. The restaurant seems to have odd hours other than that. They also offer full laundry service for 50 baht a kilo. That was very helpful. Overall I'd definitely stay there again!

Wouldn’t recommend anyone to stay in the standard apartment; we had air con dripping constantly and then moved to a room which was ant infested, smelly and just felt dirty. Thankfully we were moved to a bungalow which was much nicer and we were thankful the staff were understanding. Pool is lovely and location is good.

A group of us arrived together so a bit chaotic at check in. Room was clean, Use of pool at cliff view resort the Talay pool was mainly for divers. Our shower was cold but apparently that’s quite normal. Huge bed that was great. Good location, great being picked up at pier.

Loved the views from our ocean view bungalow. The location of the property was also superb, as it’s not far away from all the action in the evening, but far enough so that you can have a quiet evening at the resort if you wish. Although the rooms weren’t particularly large, our room was an adequate size for our diving holiday. The room was cleaned daily with fresh towels provided. Also nice to have a shower with hot water provided. Also, having air conditioning for the room was a god send. Can’t give enough praise to the hotel staff there. To give an example... upon arrival at the resort & checking in. I was to learn that, rooms in the resort are not provided with a kettle to make tea/coffee etc. However, one was provided for me later that day upon my request for the remainder of our stay at no extra cost. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff at Simple Life Divers also deserve a huge mention for making our stay so fantastic! Haydon, Baden, George, Megan, Shak, Jo, Steve, Mike, Lucas, Issey, Zack, The 2 Carl’s, Keiran, Julia, Jeremy, Nicki, Adam, James, Tom....sorry if I’ve missed anyone. Thank you all for making us feel so welcome and adopting us as part of the Simple Life family. Amazing memories, shared with wonderful people in a fantastic location. Making dreams a reality!

Average stay
The hotel was conveniently located to the beach, local restaurants and other amenities and was also in a great position next to the diving centre. The room had lovely big windows and a partial sea view, however it was located opposite the hotel bar / restaurant / dive centre meeting point so we felt very on show and kept the curtains shut most of the time. Our room was also positioned under a mango tree and we were woken in the early hours every morning by dropping mangos on the steel roof. Either book a sea view bungalow or stay somewhere else nearby.

Tiny
Well the room was very tiny like there was not even a foot on either side of the bed! There was no chair in the room at all and the ones in the deck were really uncomfortable the bed was really comfortable but other than that was not impressed your room faces the bar so your in a very busy place not relaxing at all! The pool was mainly for diving not really a swimming pool always filled with divers. The beach was tiny but was nice! The dive instructor was really good took time to make sure you understood things.

Tout d'abord, la chambre est énormément petite. C'est un emplacement vraiment bruyantes. Nous entendions la musique du bord et les gens crier. La propreté n'y était pas. La salle de bain n'étais pas lavé et il y avais des croqurelles. Le coût de la chambre est vraiment élevé considérant l'état du bangalow, son emplacement et la prepreté. Nous ne passions que 2 jours a koh tao alors nous avons perdu du temps a rechercher une seconde hotel, car nous n'avons pas resté une seconde nuit.

Der Pool ist nicht nutzbar, da er sehr klein ist und den ganzen Tag von der Tauchschule benutzt wird. Glucklicherweise kann man den pool von einem anderen hotel mit benutzen. Das Zimmer ist sehr aktive im schlechten Zustand. Die Betten waren dreckig. Wir würden nicht wieder hier übernachten.
