Koh Tao hotel rooms a the Independent

"Beautiful resort, but not ideal for those with mobility issue. Many steps up and down. "

"We only stayed one night but we loved this hotel. Our room was large and comfortable and we had our own pool (which was amazing) that overlooked the ocean. There was only a very small spot to enter the ocean which we did and enjoyed, but if you are looking for a resort right on a traditional beach where you can lay out this probably isn’t for you. "

"You can get a free transfer to and from the pier which is super helpful. The hotel is massive and the restaurant breakfast/ food was really nice. It is in a great Location and there is lots to do round it. The hotel restaurant also has entertainment in the evening and the bands were really great. The views are in incredible from the pool near the gym. No pressure if you don’t want to do the diving. "

"It is a beautiful resort amazing food a big variety to order and very well priced accommodation is excellent the snorkeling is the best on the island "

"Perfect everything you need for a great holiday "

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Tarna. Decent breakfast spread without being overly fancy. The free shuttle to and from town (and to and from the ferry) was greatly appreciated. The onsite dive school was excellent and we had great dives with them. The fact that their equipment is in great condition and they have their own traning pool at the hotel were big pluses. We had a room with its own pool, which we really enjoyed - But be aware that these rooms are all facing onto the construction site next door. I estimate that it will be ongoing for at least another year (we stayed in April 2025). To be fair it wasn't that intrusive, but I think potential guests should know about it."

"Good views and nice breakfast "

"We were lucky enough to have a beachfront room so our view was amazing, the staff very attentive .The property is at the end of walking street so not noisy, a great place to stay"

"Had as great stay even though the rain storm had a river running through the resort. The staff worked so hard during and after the storm. The room in a nice size bed was comfortable. Food was good. Would stay again. "
