The Tarna Align Resort

The room was very spacious, Bed was very comfortable

Pillow a little bit too thick for my tastes

The location was great just away from the Main Street but easily walked in 5 minutes or much less on a bike, the room was really well finished and very clean, the staff were brilliant and the bar was perfect for sunset drinks overlooking the sea

There were no real faults with the property

One of the best hotels we’ve stayed in, in Thailand. We stayed in a villa sea view and could not fault it. Spacious, comfortable and the view waking up in the morning was unreal. The hotel is a good 10 minute walk from the main centre, but they provide a free shuttle service throughout the day up and back to the hotel. Also, the hotel is on a hill and it’s steep to get to the rooms. So they have golf buggies which they drive you to your room and back to the lobby all day long for free which was pretty cool.

I have only one bad thing to say about the service. Myself and my wife booked a half day dive with the hotel for the next day as I’ve read brilliant reviews about the diving instructors that are connected with the hotel and, it’s Koh Tao. You don’t go to Koh Tao without doing some diving. The night before, we went to the main centre, had some dinner and went back to the hotel nice and early as we new we had the dive early the next morning and didn’t want to over do it. We woke up with with fresh heads, had breakfast and went to the reception all excited about the dive. However, when approving the reception staff, it looked to me that he had no clue why I was coming to him. I knew by his face that he forgot to book the dive. He informed me that he was trying to get many instructors the night before but could not get any. I wasn’t convinced about this excuse. But, if this was the case I asked him why didn’t he ring my room as common courtesy or at least leave a letter in our room to inform us that he could not get anyone. At least we could have went back to the main centre to enjoy our time in Koh Tao. This is my only disappointment with the hotel. I did not get to dive in Koh Tao

The upgrade to two rooms with a shared pool was wonderful. The staff always had a smile for us and the diving instructors were fabulous, Natalie taught my teenagers and husband on their PADI course and Ian did a refresher course for me. The free shuttles up and down the hill were wonderful, as I had recently had knee surgery. Breakfast was varied and delicious The rooms were spacious and immaculately clean. We had a wonderful stay.
