New
Heaven Bungalow, Koh Tao, Ao Tien Oh
This is a great place to stay and relax. Beautiful bungalows (i had
one with a fan, but that s just fine) with a very original but good
shower and bathroom - open view on the ocean. The view was perfect
all around, from the bungalow as well as from the open restaurant.
This place is so hidden in the trees, you can hardly see it from across
the bay! You might be visited in the room by some wildlife, such as
lizards, mice, squirl, gecko, spiders and of course all the mosquito
s you can feed. There is no malaria here but dengue is always possible.
You might want to use a repellent, i didn t cause i don t like all
the fuss. You get used to mosquito bites after a while. The food here
is very OK, although you might want to go to the pier sometimes for
something different, because the menu is not so big. The only downside
was that some of the staff was not too friendly or helpfull, maybe
this was because i was there with my Thai girlfriend. The rest of
the staff was however very kind and overly helpfull, which more than
compensated for this little glitch in the service. I thank them for
a nice and relaxing holiday. |

We stayed for only 2 nights which wasn t long enough. Couldn t have
asked for a better place to stay in Koh Tao. There were 3 of us in
the bungalow with a beautiful view. It felt like we were in a tree
house. Front staff and restaurant staff were laid back and friendly
adding to our enjoyment. |

The room was not clean and there was no water 90% of the time. The
site is beautifull but missing maintenance. |

Very very very beautiful place! The staff are very frinedly and the
resort?s restaurant is overlooking an amazing bay. Breakfast + food
excellent. The resort is located on a quiet hill, but as Ko Tao is
a small place, it is not far away from anywhere. I really really recommend
this resort for young couples, and I will definitely stay here if
I ever travel to Ko Tao again. |

We went to Kho Tao for the first time, the view from New Heaven is
amazing!! Its on sunrise side near Shark Island. N.H.B lays on the
rocks and they have a own beach(really small one) between the rocks.
But go swimming there is no good idea if its windy, alot of waves!!
And they havent clean there own beach for months!! ALOT OF GARBAGE!
The restaurant deck was perfect, not modern but it worked. The food
was ok but the meny was small. The bar and the drinks are really good
(I use to be a bartender)The service is good but a little bit slow.
(I think it is a family business) The standard of this bungalow resort
is not top quality, we had bungalow nr.1 and it was NOT GOOD!! Bad
cleaning, pore quality, no safebox so you have to put it at the restaurant
in a box with all the other guests.. this is perfect for backpackers.
If your locking for perfect morning view this is the place to stay!
but if your want quality on the bungalows you have to take the one
that cost the most at N.H.B If you want to go to the nearest beach
you have 3 options.. one is the sunrise beach on the same side as
N.H.B, 10 minutes walk, alot of people and a little bar. Two you can
go up the hill and down on the sunset beach, there you have a really
nice beach (small and less people) with less wind and a super nice
Reagge bar(just drinks) Three you can go to the sunset beach that
is long and you have several of nice restaurants and bars. We had
a good stay but had some problems with the room that gives N.H.B not
so good reviews. |

New Heaven Bungalow, Koh Tao, Ao Tien Oh
IT?S A KEPT PROMISE - a true new heaven opens up for you the very
moment you step onto the quite spacious wooden terrace with the probably
most stunning view left on the island. Bungalow: clean, spacious,
brilliant view Staff: friendly and helpful, not flashy at all Food:
very good, never doggy Location: SUPERB but please keep it that quiet...!
I?ve been to Koh Tao already before in 2006 and so much has changed
on this small island. New roads, bungalows and bars everywhere - even
houses and a shopping center have appeared. Too much concrete, too
many motorbikes and cars as I think but that obviously seems to be
the standard development route of a place like this. Well getting
back to New Heaven - it?s a refugium for all those who prefer a view
that?s not disturbed by any blinking, big hotel complexes or bars
or anything like that. The sea view is calm, relaxing and absolutely
beautiful. Thanks to the New Heaven owner that I?ve not met unfortunately
(I quite like getting to know the people behind things) that he or
she obviously sticks to a pretty sustainably policy in developing
the resort. the bungalows are well made, quite spaciously spread over
the hill and most important: they?re hidden underneath the trees and
plants so you can?t see the resort from shark island beach on the
one hand as well as enjoy the cool and shady atmosphere from the inside
on the other hand. the price/service relation is absolutely okay for
this resort which definately seems to be one of the very few left
for those who don?t just look for diving, as much bar fun as possible
and don?t give a sh*t for the accomodation. When you move around Chalok
or Sairee you definately get the impression that quite many just seem
to come to Koh Tao for this. NEW HEAVEN: strongly recommended. |

New Heaven Bungalow, Koh Tao, Ao Tien Oh
We stayed for 3 nights and we liked it a lot. The best view in Koh
Tao for sure. We even saw the ocean from our bed. The bungalow and
the bathroom were simple, but nice. Only the cleaners could have done
a better job concerning the bathroom, as there were spidernets everywhere.
We always had a gecko in our room, which was fine, but unfortunately
he was shitting on our bed once a day. The food in the restaurant
was very good and they had a wide range of different food and fantastic
fruit shakes! The atmosphere was very relaxed. They played Raggae
music most of the time. The staff was friendly but sometimes a little
bit slow. To Mae Had it took us appr. 20-30 min by foot. There are
also taxis, but expensive. A very nice beach close by. The price was
also o.k., compared to other places. The locatio was quiet, but in
the evening we heard the music from the bar next door. But alltogether
we can highly recommnend this place. |

Un superbe emplacement avec un restaurant et une terrasse posse'dant
un charme fou, surtout le soir. Une vue sur la baie extra. Le bungalow
est tre`s grand et agre'able, mais les sanitaires exte'rieurs ont
mal vieillit.Le couchage est e'galement moyen (matelas pas terrible).
L endroit est superbe, ce qui compense pour beaucoup le reste. Le
personnel est tre`s gentil et souriant comme dans beaucoup d endroits
de la Thai"lande. Je recommande donc c est endroit. |

New Heaven Bungalow, Koh Tao, Ao Tien Oh
Heavly overprised. One shower did not work. Bathrooms in open air.
Location midle of nowhere. Staff not nice, and did not like mixed
couple (european and thai). We booked for 4 nights, but we stayed
only 1 night. Breakfast? Not see. I can not recommend this resort.
Advise: Stay away. |
