Muong Resort & Diving, Koh Tao, Mango Bay
If you re up for a bit of exercise as well as snorkeling this is the
resort for you. Lovely bungalows with electricity from 6pm-6am, very
good restaurant with spectacular view. We stayed for two nights and
really got our fill of snorkeling, reading and relaxing (really not
much else to do) and it truly is an amazing place just to chill out.
The execise? The bungalows are on the hillside above the restaurant
so this makes for quite an upward trek. |

We enjoyed our time here, but it s not without it s downsides. Good
points: isolated, quiet and gorgeous views. Excellent snorkelling
from the bay. Food and waiting staff great. Bad points: No diving
to speak of, they have a boat, but no equipment, dive leaders or other
divers. We had to charter a taxi boat to collect us every morning
at 06:30 to take us back to Mae Haad (from a guy called Mr. Lek who
hangs out near the 7/11 and is v. reliable), so we could dive which
was the main purpose of our visit. Had no water in our room on two
mornings, although this was always sorted out by our return. Electricity
also a bit patchy. Also lots of geckos in our room (one about 10 inches
long, who scrabble and chirrup in the dark). Overall this is a great
place to chill out for a few days, but I wouldn t recommend it if
the primary purpose of your trip is diving, or if you re nervous around
jungle critters :-) |

Ao Muong Resort & Diving, Koh Tao, Mango Bay
It was perfect for us. We were on our honeymoon and spent 11 days
here! Small small beach, but cleanest and nicest out of all the beaches
on the entire island. Best place for snorkelling on the island-- it
s free if you stay there. This place is very private, only accessible
by ferry boat (free if you stay at the resort). There are lots of
stairs-- and it is a good workout to get to and from the beach and
restaurant from your cabin. Cabins are very nice, looks like the pictures.
This was one of the only resorts that actually looks like the pictures
(we checked out all the ones on the south and west side of the island).
Free pick-up from Mae Head Pier, the main pier on Koh Tao. Usually,
no electriciy (meaning no A/C) from 6am-6pm. And no internet access
at the resort. Service was excellent-- friendly, efficient... we felt
like we had friends after our time here. Food is good (pricey for
Thailand, but cheap for Western countries), and service at the restaurant
was excellent! Probably would not recommend for families with small
children, the elderly, or anyone with physical handicaps... there
are a lot of stairs. Would recommend for people wanting to rest, snorkell,
relax, read, have a really nice vacation :) |

Very good hotel in a unique and beautifull landscape, what else more
I have to say, that I love it! Extremly friendly and helpfull staff,
which is helping to fullfill you nearly every wish you might have.
The restaurant is very good as well, and if you ask the staff to serve
you something special, they are willing to do so. And don t miss the
papaya-salad...you will love it. From the restaurant you have a perfect
overview around the whole Mango Bay...a paradise for divers and those
who were into snorkeling. Very soon they will open their own diving
school/resort beside the hotel to even better support customer to
these needs. As this resort is reacheable only by boat, it is a place
to chill out, but nothing for party-people who is looking for party
all night long. You could have a party there as well as we did, together
with the great staff for saying thank you for nine outstanding great
and relaxing days! I have to say, that its hillside placement results
in many steps you have to climb before reaching your bungalow...so
you should be fit or might train yourself at home on a stepper...the
place is worth it! |
