This resort is stunning. Here is the top few reasons you won't regret this resort! 1. The staff. They are there to give you an amazing experience. From the minute Dev picks you up at the dock to the moment you depart you are treated as family and cared for. 2. The food. The food at the resort is great!... More

The resort is great. They have an excellent resturant area with good food. All of the resort is surronded by a lovely nature and it is completely calm and quiet even when the island is really busy. I rented my own bike and that was just perfect, it is easy to access if you have some driving experience. The owner... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was great. Really relaxing and it feels like your in the middle of the jungle with all the wild life. The rooms are great even with the fan. The only thing that they didn't have clean bed sheets after 2 nights so we had the same sheets for the 3 nights which... More

We spent 3 nights here to unwind and enjoy being alone in nature. The resort is set high on the hill overlooking the ocean and each Balinese style chalet has magnificent sea views. Everything about the place is designed to just unwind and enjoy nature from the lovely open air bathrooms to the hammocks on the porch. The sea is... More

We chose New Heaven diving school and this accommodation beforehand and because it seemed ecofriendly option. We think the diving school does important work for the ocean and so does Baan Talay, but it still has too big problems that I could recommend it. When we arrived this place, it first looked like paradise and away from hustle of busy... More

We stayed in beautiful baan talay for four nights and then moved to a bungalow right on chalok beach belonging to the same owner. Baan talay is a beautiful tranquil resort nestled in the hills of Ko Tao with fantastic sea views. The bungalows and the resort overall (we stayed in a seaview hut) are finished to a very high...

Unfortunately the beauty of the place, the kindness of the staff could not compensate for our disappointment. No luck for us, because of a strong wind coming from the east, it’s been impossible to get in the water at the sea... More

Hello Ronen, sorry to hear about your disappointment at our place, however i am sure you would agree the 800 baht a night you paid cannot really be beaten for the standard of accommodation, quality of bed and sheets, towels and location of restaurant. decor and style. Where on the island can you get a resort like that and pay... More

My wife and I stayed here for 7 nights. At first we were just going to stay during our PADI certification course at New Heaven Dive (which we would also highly recommend!).
