Ecotao Lodge

This is the most wonderful place to stay. A lovely welcoming and small eco resort. Made mainly from bamboo and lime mixed with coconut fibre the rooms are amazingly luxurious and large. The staff and the manager - Cami are lovely, as is the owner Yves. They cannot do enough to help. There is a lovely vibe to this place and the intimacy of the restaurant, bar and pool area encourages you to mingle. I will definately return.

This hotel has stunning views and a FANTASTIC swimming pool. The staff is very friendly and speaks perfect English, which is very much appreciated. The breakfast buffet we had included was delicious, and we also had lunch and dinner there since the food is very fresh and tasty. Our cottage was AMAZING, fully equipped, and with spectacular views from our terrace. The cottages provide a lot of privacy, even on the terrace. Totally recommended!!! P.S. When we arrived, the staff recommended us some trips; we chose the snorkel trip and it was the best snorkel ever!!! ……………………………….. Este hotel tiene unas vistas increíbles sobre el mar desde la piscina. El personal es muy amable y habla inglés perfectamente. El desayuno buffet que teníamos incluido estaba delicioso, pero también comimos y cenamos en el hotel ya que la comida era espectacular. Nuestra cabaña no podía ser más bonita, totalmente equipada y con vistas espectaculares desde nuestra terraza. Mucha privacidad, incluso en la terraza. Totalmente recomendable!! P.D.: al hacer el check-in el personal nos recomendó varias excursiones, lo cual agradecimos mucho ya que no teníamos ningún plan; elegimos la excursión de snorkel y fue todo un acierto!!!!

Highly recommend this beautiful, fantastic place. The lodges itself are well-build, solid places, with a great shower and great views. The bed is very good, and fresh water and coffee is refreshed on daily basis. So 5/5 for the bungalows and corresponding service. The location of the lodges is on the center of the island, a little higher up in the mountains. To be flexible, would definately advise to get a scooter. Roads are good and safe, can be a bit steep. But no real challenges whatsoever. We absolutely loved the (sea) views, and as Koh Tao is a small Island, everything is within a very short scooter drive. The staff was so nice! Great people, speak english, and are always available for questions and recommandations. They arranged a private snorkeling tour, which was great. And recommended the Garden restaurant, in which we had an amazing last evening on the island. Further, they have a nice pool, unlimited, tasty breakfast included and good room service. Summarized, we had an amazing stay at this place. Highly recommend. The one ‘con’ was that the restaurant service was not available after breakfast; however i think this was covid related. We were not really bothered. Enough good places nearby! Thanks very much Ecotao!
