Cape Shark Villas were exceptional. C6A, I think, has the best view of all of the villas as it is right on the end of the outcrop. So, the other villas and Cape Shark are to the right, and an unblocked view of Shark Island is directly off to the right where the infinity pool stretches out into the ocean view. Breathtaking. This specific villa also had a (steep) staircase down for direct water access, and a sea turtle visited us several times right off of the steps. You must have some level of agility and an adventurous spirit to get into the water at this access point, but it was great for us. The snorkeling right in front of the villas was spectacular! We got to see two sea turtles, so many fish, and both adult and juvenile reef sharks. The hosts have thought of so many practical things to help their guests including access to a Thai number cell phone, on call taxi services, a fully stocked fridge (for a price), and a stack of menus for convenient ordering options. We used the villas as our base, taking a few trips into Sairee Beach neighborhood for sunset happy hour, a delicious Chopper's burger, and scuba lessons with Big Blue Dive shop. We also popped over for lunch and snorkeling at neighboring Ao Leuk beach which had beautiful sand and clear water for swimming. Altogether, a lovely, lovely, stay!!!!
For the price, it would have been nice to have some basic breakfast items included. Easy access in the fridge was appreciated, but we had to pay for each item (eggs, milk, etc.). Also, if you are used to Bangkok Grab prices, the taxis were surprisingly expensive. It is possible to have a very enjoyable Koh Tao trip simply staying at Cape Shark Villas and snorkeling right from the hotel. However, we chose to use the taxi services which ranged from 400-600 baht for one way transport. The drivers were readily available, just more expensive than we were used to.

Spacious villa that has lots of spots to chill out with great views (my experience was specifically for C8 but I think it applies to other villas as well). Great snorkeling spot right in front of the villa. Lots of privacy. Very relaxing. Great especially if your plan is to simply relax and do nothing.
While the villa provides kitchen utensils, you have to wash it yourself. If not, I believe there will be extra charges.
No beach. While there are 3 decks you can use to enter the water, there is no beach (so forget about building sand castle) and water access is not as easy compared to simply walking from the beach. Not a huge deal but something to keep in mind especially with young children.
Lots of mosquitos. Maybe this is true for other places in Koh Tao as well but I only stayed here so I can only say there were lots of mosquitos here.
While you have a lot of privacy, the villas are physically close to each other and you can certainly hear the noises from nearby villas. One night around 2-3 a.m., a nearby villa played very loud music. It's not Cape Shark Villa's fault and, while they don't have 24-hour staff like a regular hotel, they provide emergency number to call at night. I didn't call as I was not sure whether this was classified as emergency but I was told the next day to call if it happened again (luckily it didn't).

- Beautiful view
- Snorkeling equipment provided (surprisingly, this was actually free of charge)
- Well-maintained property
- Free shuttle to town several times a day (but it has to be booked in advance)
- Everywhere in the villa there was something to buy — I felt a bit like I was staying in a shop. Coffee capsules, oil, shark slippers, beach hats, countless flyers and offers like “buy beach photos.” It was just too much, and charging extra for coffee capsules at this hotel price is ridiculous
- ordered breakfast, which was supposed to arrive within 20 minutes, always took at least an hour.
- The reception is open only until 5 PM
- You need a phone to arrange basically anything. Mine wasn’t properly charged and at first it didn’t work at all :)
- The property is located very high up, so you have to deal with extremely steep roads, which are practically impossible to drive on with a scooter when it rains
- far from the beach
