This Resort is really really beautiful and nice! Even not staying at sea view room, the sea view is quite great. Bunglow is surrounded by palm leaves and other green trees,hearing sea all the time, feel easy and relax all the way. The reception and restaurant is at hill top and room in the middle of hill, and a little bit far from room to swimming pool. you can imagine it is a little bit tired to climb all the way :) but considered the good taste of the resort thai resturant and perfect view from swimming pool, it is worth it. The only one regret is the sea wave down the hill is really big, hardly can swim or snorkeling.

We booked 4 nights at thipwimarn Resort because we thought we want to have some luxury for a few days. Even though we booked the cheepest room (superior)for 3400 Baht (75 Euro) we were convinced that for this price (in thailand) it would be really luxury. We were wrong. Nice surrounding, yes, but BAD room. Toilet broken, Shower broken, bath moldy, room dirty. Even though we complained and wanted to leave we didn't get another room and we had to pay one night AND 15% for the booked 3 nights we didn't stay there anymore. What a BIG disappointment! It's definitly not worth the money - that's our opinion.

The bungalows were a steep decline from the reception so the climb back up the stairs to the top was quite painfull - especially in the heat. The breakfast the first day was good - the other 2 days stay the buffet breakfast was appauling. The the cost of the accommodation I don't feel it was value for money.

Thipwimarn Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
If you don't mind being a little far from the action then I highly recommend this resort. It is green, lucious and very close to nature with specatacular views of the gulf from most suites. This place has a very special feel to it. Even when it is fully booked you feel like you are the only ones who have the pleasure of staying there. There were a couple of hitches but nothing that would stop me from staying there again. We had originally booked the private garden honeymoon retreat, which being our honeymoon sounded perfect and just what we wanted as it said it had fantastic views of the sea, a private balcony where nobody could see you and a spaceious room. When we were taken to our room it was one of the lesser honeymoon suites that was not private at all. In fact it was the first suite where all the traffic goes past to get to the other rooms and the private balcony could be seen by all and the sea views were glimpes of sea through the vast trees. We spoke to reception and they were very kind and showed us one of their boutique rooms. They originally said it would only be 1000 baht per night more as a deal due to us being unhappy with our room. We were fine with this as the room was amazing but just after we had settled in they called us to advise it would be 2000 baht per night more. this blew the budget for us so we again requested a room change. they moved us to the lovely seaview room 2 which was gorgeous, private, tranquil and all we ever wanted. Other than that all was fine except that the restaurant staff, although gracious & lovely have a poor command of english so the 3 dinners we had there came out wrong every time! it was quite frustrating in the end so just make sure that you point out exactly what you want on the menu and then get them to repeat it otherwise who knows what you will get. All in all though this place is gorgeous and if it's in your budget or a special occasion GO! because if its luxurious, rustic Thai charm & hospitality, amongst true nature that you re looking for then you will never forget Thipwimarn,it's amazing sea views and peaceful environment. Koh Tao is a very special place - Take a visit before it becomes a victim of over tourism.

We had made a reservation for four nights but moved after just one because it wasn´t safe to bee there with children. We are dissapointed that we did´nt get information about that it´s not a suitable place for children. I´ts a typical honeymoon place.

This hotel is very beautiful and nice place to enjoy our short and sweet holiday. The people and food are very good there; even the little dogs are so cute and funny. I definitely agreed that it’s a wonderful and peaceful place to indulge ourselves. I need to send my sincerely thanks for the receptionist and securities in the hotel who helped us to find out our lost motor bicycle which mistakenly used by other tourist, and finally got back our passport from the motor bicycle shop. It’s really a terrible experience to find out a lost motor bicycle in such a unfamiliar island, but their kindness helped us a lot and let us feel comfortable and easy. Thanks a lot for their kind help and we go back again when I revisit Koh Tao in the near future.

My wife and I spent six nights here on honeymoon and had a thoroughly agreeable stay. We had originally booked the honeymoon garden room, however on arrival, the room was nothing like the one posted on the internet and was dark and in need of refurbishment. We switched to a boutique room (new this year) and the difference was amazing. The staff could not do enough for us,and even the ongoing construction work failed to disturb us. We would definitely stay again - the views from the restaurant and pool were amazing, and the spa was a tranquil experience, if a little overpriced. Thanks Thipwimarn!

In a word Stunning. This was everything i wished for and more. The setting was perfect. Built into the palm tree covered cliff side with uninterupted views over the thia gulf this place was as tranquil as it gets yet only a 10-15min walk from the beach and there is a taxi service at the hotel providing very cheap transport there and back if you want it. The rooms were gorgeous. We stayed in a sea view studio that had a lovely four poster bed that had mahoganny wood flooring built all round it. The ensuite was lovely too with lovely views over the sea. The room also had satellite tv fridge tea making equipment safe and plenty of towels for the bath room and beach. We also had a fablous balcony overlooking the sea. The resort was quite kept immaculatly clean with so much attention to detail. Lovely bowels of water with freshly picked flower heads floating in each lined the paths and fresh flower heads decorated your bed each morning. The restaurant was also very good providing very well priced and very tasty food - breakfast was included in the proce and for that you could choose two meals - v good. They also had a enternity swimming pool that dropped away leaving stunning views over the ocean where you could watch the sun set. Finally the staff were terrific catered for your every need and were so friendly and cheerful. I would recommend this place to anyone especially at such a reasonable price - you could barley get a b&b in england for the same price.

Between the hotel and the pier the purse went missing We reported to the hotel but they were not sympathetic at all,saying the purse MUST have been lost elsewhere. WE know it was not. Unfortunatly we cannot prove how the purse went missing but we would advise all travellers to keep all hand luggage with them, even if you are ushered away from it.

Very nice hotel with best sunset view in a restaurant and perfect cuisine, friendly staff. But there are some minuses: the included breakfast is very poor, 200 steps down to the sea, no sand there, just rocks (one of the best places for snorkling on Koh Tao), the pool is very small about 5*5m, the view from the pool is much worse than on the pictures here, because of the tall trees and plants. We stayed for 3 days and every day in the evening there was sudden electricity switch off for about an hour - not a good thing especially in a hotel with too many steps around and in a hot climate.

We left after 2 of 5 nights, and had to pay over 3000bath extra. Great if you can live close to nature and manage without ac (1000bath extra for ac!), but the bungalow standard to low with a so high price after my opinion.

Le personnel très coutois, reste à l image de la réputation du pays. Cet hôtel n est pas recommandé pour des personnes avec des difficultés physiques et les enfants (escaliers trop raides, peu éclairés). La restauration n est pas extraordinaire et les petits déjeuners pas aux goûts de tous. La nature est un cadre fantastique, mais aussi bruyant pour les amateurs de repos.

We spent four nights in this resort and we were very disappointed. There were constructions going on all the time in the resort and also in the resort next door they were building about 10 new huts and that in the high season! First we wanted to move out but we didn't want to make the effort to move again. So we talked to the women at the reception and got a discount. They were very friendly and helpfull. We got up early in the morning and came back late to the resort every day, otherwise it was impossible to stay there. It was so loud. They said, that there was a note about the construction in the homepage, but not when we booked it in November. The restaurant wasn't good either. The cook used far too much sugar for everything! And the waiters were friendly but they didn't speak english at all and there were misunderstandings all the time. The restaurant and lobby area were pretty, also the bungalow and the balcony. Also the pool was quite nice. But the prices in the spa were a joke. 4 times higher than everywhere else. The steps down to the huts were a horror, as they are too high and endless. We have been in many resorts in Thailand, but alltogether this was one of the worst resorts.

The rooms were very private, and exactly as in the brochures. Also i would highly recommend the spa, we spent a luxurious 3 hours being pampered, and we felt like we were floating on air leaving it. Definately take a taxi to the town and go snorkling off nearby islands - its well worth the 200 - 300 baht you pay for both the taxi and boat taxi. I am definately going back.

This is a beautiful little boutique hotel with excellent service. Everything about it is classy and there are lots of little extra touches. We ate dinner in the restaurant twice and the food was outstanding both times. The waiter staff are charming. Our only dissatisfaction was with the fact that they are currently expanding and there was a lot of construction going on - some of it right in front of our unit spoiling our view. We were, however, given a small discount to compensate for this. Apparently this was advertised on their website but we weren't aware of it at the time of booking. All in all excellent value for money, not on the beach, but an easy motorbike / taxi ride down the hill. Highly recommended.

Reservation service:
No problems at all. Very efficient and prompt.

This is our second time to visit this resort. Despite the construction work on site, we still had a very enjoyable time, it did not really disrupt us. since our last visit in 2003, they have added beautiful swimming pool with gorgeous sea view, and luxurious spa offering a varity of massages and treatment at a reasonable price. The open air restaurant is unforgettable with great view and good food at the very reasonable price. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. This resort may not be suitable for families with small children(because of many steep hills and steps), but absolute getaway place for romantic holiday!!!!

Thipwimarn Resort on Koh Tao is an amazing place. The staff were all extremely friendly and excellent with advice on where to go and what to see. The restaurant has an amazing view of the bay and is it situated on a hillside affording great sunset views. I would definately go there again.

What an amazing place. Every view is like a view from God's window. This is a small piece of paradise nestled away in the Gulf Of Siam. The resort is charming, and the fact that it is smaller makes it even more special. The staff are EXTREMELY friendly and they fly the flag for the Thai reputation for smiles very high. Simg, Mit and the other waitering staff made each evening dining a pleasure. The restuarant has an unparalled view, with a soft breeze blowing through an orchid filled deck where diners are treated to exquisite Thai food. In a word - divine. The rooms are wonderful, we were in the honeymoon garden - and the privacy and tranquility was great. The pool area is awesome - not overdone, but again, understated and classy. In general the island is less populated than the others and it makes the whole visit more special. If you are looking for a special trip in a more laid back environment - Thipwimarn is the place for you. Thanks to all for a great experience. We will be back!

Very beautiful place to enjoy a Holliday on Koh Tao. Nice and clean (Honeymoon) cottage with a fantastic view. Very good and affordable restaurant - with excelent service. Every needs taken care of. The swimming pool is not very big and in shadow most of the day all but with a magnificant view over the see. With only 12 cottages it may be large enough, but it looks like, that they are building more cottages. From some of the lower cottages You will loose some weigth on the stairs on the way to restaurant, pool and reception. There are some distance to beach and village - 20 min. of (very hot) walk or taxi. With all pro´s and con´s in fact, we are ready to visit again next time on Koh Tao. Very recomendable.

Reservation service:
Worked perfect to us. Quick answar on booking and our questions.

Accommodation and facilities:
We stayed in the seaview cottage it was fantastic just amazing views and wonderful decor, with dark woods and white linen. Due to the hotel being built on a hillside the walk up and down the stairs were a bit of a mission - however it was worth it. The staff are great especially the waiters and the food is out of this world with a view. All in all I would be there right now if I didn't have to return home.

Reservation service:
Booking service was fast and efficient with no problems at all.

Accommodation and facilities:
This resort is a true oasis on the small and beautiful island of Koh Tao. The 11 bungalows are all very separated so that the private space is really private. Service is great. Breakfast is very nice, served on a terrace with stunning view to Sairee and Mae Had Beach. However, if you stay longer than 7 days, it might get a little boring, as you can choose only between 2 omelettes, musli and pancakes. Restaurant at night is served on the same terrace, food is nice but not the best on the island. Pool and spa is just great - pool with sea view, just great! I will travel there again, that is for sure!

No problem, everything fine

Thipwimarn Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
We wanted to stay in a resort away from the main drag and nightlife - Thipwimarn provided just that. The resort was beautiful, built into the steep and rocky hills north of Sairee Village with fantastic views and no noise coming from the town. The resort has so many highlights, one of which was the swimming pool, which overlooked Sairee bay area and blends in seamlessly with the horizon. Many lazy afternoons were spent lying by the pool, gin and tonic in hand, gazing out to sea. The restaurant produced some great food, a limited breakfast menu (which was included with B+B), but enough for us. The evening meals were some of the best we had during our stay, not just because of the quality of meal, but also the helpfullness and friendlyness of the staff - they really helped make our stay even more enjoyable. Our Superior room was extremely comfortable, made up and thoroughly cleaned each day by the maids. AC worked very well, and to my suprise, no bugs were found crawling around. The TV received plently of English speaking channels included BBC World and some sports channels (showing premiership games!). Our only gripe was the location - we were at the bottom of the hill, meaning a 138 step climb (my wife counted!) to reception, and in the heat of the day, it meant a shower could be useful at the top! Still, it just added to the tranquility of the resort, much like the very noisy crickets, which chirpped through most of the day and night (sounding much like a rain forest!). Be prepared to hire a bike though, as the resort is about 1.5 miles from Sairee village+pubs/restaurants/dive shops. A round trip in a taxi cost more than a day hire of a bike - which was only 200bt. This is a perfect couples resort (it would make an excellent honeymoon stay), do not stay here if you are backpacking or if you want a lads/girls holiday. Could also do with a bar.

Reservation service:
Straight forward, simple to use and efficient. Excellent!

Accommodation and facilities:
A wonderful resort in peaceful surrounding. Staff is doing everything to please you. The food we had was very well prepared. Perhaps the best we had in our 3 weeks in Thailand. BBQ king prawns was the best we ever had. Breakfast menu was a bit odd thou. Due to stormy whether, the small beach at the resort was very dirty and impossible to swim there. You have to consider extra money for transportation to other beaches, restaurants etc. Ore you can do what we did, rent a 4-weeler. The bungalows are very comfortable and tasteful decorated. The view from our bungalow (sea view 1) was breathtaking! If you have problems walking in stars, this isn’t the place for you. Swimming pool was beautiful located and very clean. This is the perfect resort if you want to change a busy life to breathtaking views, great food, soft atmosphere, wonderful staff accompanied with the sounds of birds, geckos etc. We are longing to our next visit at Thipwimarn resort.

Worked very well. No problem at all.
