Josefin Karlsson 2008-04-11 until 2008-04-12	Thipwimarn Resort, Koh Tao, Taa Sak The best hotel we had during our four month traveling in Asia. Luxury at its best and good value for the money. The staff where very friendly and service minded. They only thing that was a little bit disappointing was the hotel restaurant, the view and the staff was great but the food was terrible.
Tony McAllister 2008-04-08 until 2008-04-10	Thipwimarn Resort, Koh Tao, Taa Sak Resort fine, rooms clean and most of reception ( other than one lady who attended our problems at the pier.) and all restaurant staff very helpfull The only problem we encounterd was when our bags were loaded onto the hotel pick up when we were leaving. Stupidly we left a large holdall bag with a hand bag inside. Inside the handbag was a purse containing money. 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. Rest of holiday a delight especially Cookies Resort in Koh Phangan
Valeria Grinevich 2008-04-07 until 2008-04-10	Thipwimarn Resort, Koh Tao, Taa Sak 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.	very good, thank you!
Torstein Bjorndal 2008-03-15 until 2008-03-20	Thipwimarn Resort, Koh Tao, Taa Sak Great service (not always great english though), amazing views. 15min walk to closest village (about 150bath for transportation). BUT be prepered to have geccos and mosquitos in the bungalows, there were holes in the walls up to 2-3cm. Not what we expected when the price is so high. 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. Just ok food in the restaurant, but very beutiful like the rest of the resort.	No problems with booking.
Tina Corminboeuf 2008-03-10 until 2008-03-13	Thipwimarn Resort, Koh Tao, Taa Sak Nous étions un peu déçus de notre séjour dans cet hôtel, trop cher prix/qualité du bungalow. Les 4% de reduction concernant les travaux de transformations actuels de l hôtel frise le ridicule. 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. En plus les anciens bungalows servent d habitat pour les petites bébêtes... En résumé cet hôtel n est pas à la hauteur de ses étoiles!	très très bien et efficient!
PHILIPPE GAUTREAU 2008-02-23 until 2008-02-27	Thipwimarn Resort, Koh Tao, Taa Sak Le service est excellent, le SPA est TOP, le restaurant extraordinaire. Seul problème : pas de plage	no problemo !!
Jasmin Schneider 2008-02-06 until 2008-02-10	Thipwimarn Resort, Koh Tao, Taa Sak 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.
FAN CHU KAY 2008-02-05 until 2008-02-08	Thipwimarn Resort, Koh Tao, Taa Sak We booked honeymoon Garden for three days. We highly not recommend this hotel. We had the following adverse comments. 1) Toilet located outside, inconvenient to us especially at night times; 2) Low privancy inside the garden room; 3) Electricity was unstable all the times, the lighting at room and toilet were dim. We experienced no electricity supply during hair dryer was turned on; 4) The hotel and room are older to extreme degree than what we could see in the picture thro the web site; 5) The breakfast was very poor and need to wait a long times for preparation; 6) Noises from flying insects in the surroundings and frogs at the adjacent pond are disturbance; 7) Not worth while to live in such rates; 8) Far away from the Pier and no beach.	Good.
Inbal Miron 2008-02-03 until 2008-02-07	Thipwimarn Resort, Koh Tao, Taa Sak In this hotel you feel like you live in the spa. The staff makes you feel like a king, you never need to ask anything twice. The room is clean and romantic and has a great view. The breakfast is the best I had in Thailand. The pool is a bit small but it s enough. The only flaw is the location and absence of beach. You need a motobike to get to Sairee beach or you can walk for 20 min. If you just want quiet and relaxing spa this is the place.	Fast and good
Annika Ångman 2008-01-30 until 2008-02-01	Thipwimarn Resort, Koh Tao, Taa Sak A very lovely place but we had a room next to a buildningplace and that spoild the staying a bit. The service was very good and the restaurang it s very good and the wiev outstanding. We stayed in a superior room and we think that was a little bit to expansive then the room didn t have warmwater and it s was not so big that we hoped. The pool was very fantastic!	Very good service - as usal. I have booked several times before and it s never been any problem.
