Koh Tao Montra Resort

Really big room but dark and not fully clean. Door to get to fridge didn’t have a handle. Pool wasn’t fully clean.

Location

Good location. Close to the pier. Couple of nice restaurants within easy walking distance. Nice big pool. The restaurant also doubles as a bar and the bar staff were efficient and very entertaining. Quite good gym. Rooms are spacious. While not the most attractive bathroom I've seen, it was big and the shower was good. Lots of storage space. Simple but satisfying breakfast buffet.

The hotel has two shuttle vans but these were - bizarrely - not available for use, even at a charge. Instead, if you want to go anywhere other than the local streets we had to pay for a local truck. Driven by the hotel driver! This is a flatbed. We are no spring chickens and riding on a bench seat on the back of a truck with no guard rails on hairy winding and very hilly roads is not a comfortable experience. In fact, very scary. The bedside lights and master switch have a stupid location behind the headboard- you have to climb up to turn off the lights.

Location. Pool

2 hotel shuttle vans not available in the evening to guests wanting to go to restaurant area. Sat there unused, and then staff member”off duty” used his own unsafe vehicle for 400 baht for 5minute drive. Rip off .
