The Ava Resort Koh Tao

Amazing hotel with gorgeous settings, just missing a-bit of atmosphere would be my only downfall. This hotel offers stunning sunset views where you can watch from either the pool or the hotel cafe/bar, but it’s just missing some background music to create the atmosphere during the day and at night? They are definitely missing a trick with maybe not also turning the cafe into a restaurant at night, to entice people to stay in the hotel more? As we did head down into town every night for sunset drinks / food as it was more lively. Would highly recommend though, rooms are stunning and staff are very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend also getting a Ped to get around the island, the ones the hotel offer are great quality and value for price.

Good: Breathtaking views over the pacific ocean. Comfortable sheets, very nice toiletries, helpful staff. Bad: Mosquitos. It would be impossible to stay in the pool close to sunset time as the mosquitos would eat you alive. The property should handle this better. The sun umbrellas wouldn’t move up and down, this limits the guest’s ability to control the shade, especially in the afternoon.
