We loved our stay here. The staff wax great and the room was nice. We had the sky suite (be prepared to get your steps). The view was to die for.

This is a beautiful hotel set into the rocks and jungle. It has a wonderful feeling of being secluded but within walking distance to the centre of koh Tao. Glorious sunsets just 5 mins down the beach and a beautiful spot to see the sun go down on your own beach. Great restaurant, wonderful breakfast and a lovely helpful team.

This is possibly the best villa we have ever experienced. Set within lush gardens with a 360 view of mountain forest and beautiful coast, it's just a 2 minute stroll to the sea. The staff made our stay truly magical - always welcoming, smiley, thoughtful and kind. Combined with nature's beauty, we felt blessed x thank you to all staff at Cabana

Very special place with unik houses between trees.
Nice relaxing atmosphere with a nice beach right in front of you.
Restaurant where you eat breakfast have a wonderful location right at the end of the beach.
Very friendly and smiling people working at the hotel.
If you like something special instead of a normal hotel this is the place for it.

After getting married in Samui the week before, we wanted to stay somewhere nice as a treat. The fact this accommodation is listed as a 4 star is simply not accurate.
The resort is dated, photos on booking sites showcase the beach view villa’s which are far more superior. The restaurant service is terribly slow, but the staff are always friendly & helpful. We had dinner there on our first night. I received a starter that looked similar to what I ordered - no sign of my husbands starter. Shortly after, out came two starters, meaning they had given us one by mistake. Later, my main course arrived & we waited 45mins for my husbands duck curry. When they finally bought it out after some chasing, they said “we’ve ran out of duck, so this is pork”. They never asked us if this was okay. Upon check out, the mistaken third starter was actually on our bill and no sign of a promised 10% discount after the mistakes through the night.
The pathways are very overgrown - if you’re not fond of wildlife (I actually had a snake drop in-front of my feet - no joke). The resort has so many steps, you’ll be out of breath walking to your room in the heat. The views however, are absolutely incredible and the sunsets are beautiful. The pool towels smell musty, they’re torn & bleached in places. The amenities list a pool & beach bar - which doesn’t seem to exist.
The resort is okay, great staff when you can find them. We would’ve rather have stayed in a hut on the beach than spent the money here

We loved this property! We stayed in the sky cottage. It was a fair walk to get up to the room, but worth it for the ocean view. The staff were amazing. It was easy to arrange for laundry service, food/beverage service on the beach, and even yoga sessions. You can still hear the beach bars at night, but it is as quiet as it will get on the island while still being walking distance to restaurants. Would recommend this property for sure!

We stayed in the family villa - we had our own pool with an amazing view - excellent price by western standards - the staff are lovely and work hard to please - restaurant had very good food - we also ordered room service which was great and quick - plenty of bottled water
We loved the villa - it’s rustic and getting a little tired - but the AC worked well and it was spacious - beds were good - bathrooms interesting - we had a waterfall in one - and a monster tub (we didn’t use it) in the other - we were careful to use mosquito netting at night and keep doors closed - we would come again and hope to in the not too distant future - one issue for light sleepers is the bar and show way down the beach has a nightly show with bass that travels out to cabana - they have ear plugs for those that might be disturbed conveniently in bathroom - but it didn’t bother us
We walked down the beach each day into town - less than 10 mins

Beautiful Tree Top Villa with lots of amenities, quick laundry service, friendly and helpful staff, everything was clean.
I didn't like the outdoor shower and toilet because of gekkos or other animals coming in.

Comfortable hotel on the north edge of beach. Walking distance to main area. A little rustic and no hot water at all for most of stay. Staff very friendly and helpful though. Breakfast edible, but not fantastic.
2.0
Overall a good average hotel - 3 stars not more. The breakfast is poor. It just doesn’t live up to the competition down the beach where we chose to have breakfast instead. It’s sad that almost no one eats in the restaurant in the evening even though the location for the place is amazing. It needs an update.
The beach hut we had was nice. And the kind personal waiting for us when we arrived by boat from Ko Phangan (as a free service) was also very nice.
Only one out of two pools had water in it which left a little sad impression. The noise from the parties in the beach is not loud enough to disturb ones sleep - and I’m a light sleeper.

Our villa was very spacious and had the wow factor.

Absolutely amazing place to stay. You really feel taken care of. Spend the extra money on the ocean view it’s worth it. My girlfriend and I felt like we were on our honeymoon staying here. It is in the perfect spot. Far away enough from the loud music and bars but a short 5 minute walk along the beautiful beach to get to it all

I loved it's location at the very end of the beach, yet still close and walkable to many restaurant choices. I would have loved bar service at the beach. I finally saw someone come down on our last day there and ordered drinks and snacks. I loved the size of the villas and the big bathrooms. It was a very unique property.

Lovely quiet location, very nice breakfast, large clean rooms. If there is a down side, its that there is nowhere provided to put your clothes. We didn't mind the walk along the beach to reach the main centre of life... a 10 minute stroll or so...

Quiet, peaceful, & beautiful location at the far end of Sairee beach. Set in a gorgeous tropical forest, the setting was magical

On arrival to the property late we we created and our bags taken to our grass hut. Many stairs and steps away. It was dark and so we just followed. After entering the room it was clear that there was several steps that could and did cause problems with footing due to lighting and slippery when wet. I asked to be moved but was told an outrageous price increase even though on Expedia the room rate was only $16 US more a night. With no chance to move or get our money back we stayed. Did not spend much time at the hotel but would not recommend it to anyone. I am sure there has been people with the same issues but it has not been reported. As this place has a high rating and nothing said about the stairs.

Really enjoyed our stay. The villa was beautiful with a stunning view. Brilliant location at the end of the beach so you’re a 5 minute walk to restaurants/ bars/ shops but even closer to the beach! Because it’s at the end, it has a peaceful/ private beach feel to it.
The only negative which is a positive really, is that they had so much to offer: free round trip shuttle to the pier (they wait there when the ferries come in, we saw they sign and were hugely relieved not to have to find a taxi but didn’t know this in advance), they also offer very cheap hire of snorkel equipment, life jackets and kayaks for a very small daily fee, which is excellent and we loved so I feel they could advertise it to save time enquiring :)

Location was great. My husband likes to snorkel and there lots to see in the water here. Stsff were lovely and our villa was gorgeous. I would have liked better service in the beachside gardens, with a more frequent drinks service. But overall a wonderful stay

Koh Tao Cabana is amazing. The best hotel on the island at super reasonable prices. The hotel staff are really helpful and really make everything as easy as possible. Great place for couples and it's so nice to be away from the rest of the hotels. Would be nice to be a bit closer to the other restaurants and bars but you can't have both. What you get with free breakfast is amazing! I can't stress how beautiful Koh Tao and Koh Tao Cabanas are!

Worse stay I had in Thailand. Food is terrible, the service is eeriily bad...they seem to hate the guest. Room type I booked was not at all what the pictures showed. If you need wifi forget it, same goes for privacy. Was overcharged for mini bar, gave up at that point and was just happy to leave. At a much better place now.

A really nice resort on the beach with good service, clean "huts" and a beautiful beach. I highly recommend this resort and we will definitely try to be back here if possible.

Avoid!
Lots of problems starting with the room. We paid for a view and we could barely see it through the trees as our room was set towards the back. Not only that, the room was dark, badly lit and could do with redecoration. We actually thought we would ride the 4 nights out and not complain, but as soon as we heard the rats running around in the roof we complained. It was a painful process at reception and we were met with a guy with a bad attitude and he should be working away from customers. We eventually moved for our last two nights to a proper sea facing room that was to our satisfaction and what we originally paid for.
The beach is very different to the pictures on the internet. The sand is corse shingle and dark brown so if you want the paradise beach you see on postcards, this is not for you. That said, the tropical trees and setting is certainly nice and we enjoyed it once we settled in. The wooden beach beds are old and need replacing and the towels they give you are small and old.
The main problem here is the lack of management and attention to detail. This could be a superior resort, but the place lacks any luxury elements and relies solely on its beach location. It needs investment and to truly understand what guests want and expect from a 4 star resort.
Investment in people is also needed as we were treated badly, especially after they ruined 4 shirts when we used their laundry service.
I wouldn’t recommend this resort and I won’t return.

Good hotel // resort, arranged on a beach and a hillside, if you have any mobility issue you need to ask for beach level room. The hillside is quite steep. Rooms are lovely and well maintained each is a detached villa type. Breakfast is good with a reasonable range of options. Service is always with a smile. The resort is at the end of the beach which means it's quite enough for a good night's sleep. Even though activity and partying is probably less than half a mile away.
