Simple Life Talay & Divers Resort

Star ratings are based on Klook's overview of the property's information (such as services and facilities included, etc.), and are for reference only

The buildings are rundown but everything is functional. The concrete in the pool is sharp and raspy but the vibe and the price is perfect!

Do not stay in the cheaper rooms i thought id booked the rooms attached to the hotel little did we know we had booked the 1s over the rd same hotel just different rooms to the rest really not nice dirty bugs no windows did 1 night as hadeto and left staff really helpfull and nice tho couldnt fault them lovely people

From check in, the experience at this place was awful. Firstly, it’s not where you expect it to be and it’s part of Cliffview? Simple Life. Expedia advertises the check in time as 8am, which was part of the reason we booked this hotel as we had an early ferry. Upon arriving we were told check in was 2pm!!! When I questioned this I was met with immediate hostility and told ‘if you don’t like the check in time then book somewhere else’ in so many words. Miraculously, they found us a room which was quite honestly horrible. It was behind the main hotel on what can only be described as a dumping/building site and had a bad smell. Our window looked out onto what seemed to be a house and we were woken in the morning by loud coughing due to the proximity. This wouldn’t have been bad if our sleep the night before wasn’t interrupted by some sort of construction work going on in the room next to us, constantly drilling for a few hours on and off. The noise and location wasn’t the only issue, the room was definitely very simple. It was also dirty and the towels were threadbare, the bedspread had hole/stain and the toilet blocked almost immediately. My partner wouldn’t even shower in this place because he said it would make him feel dirtier than before! When we asked for the toilet to be unblocked they were again very hostile and said they’d fix it ‘this time’. We disliked this place so much we ended up leaving Koh Tao early as we couldn’t stand to stay another night in that place.

Needs maintenance, update, painting and new towels old.the bar plays load music until 10pm, ruined the ability to enjoy patio. The res

Room was outdated and not in great condition. Looked much worse in real life compared to the photos used online. The towels given appeared dirty as was the room. The staff were helpful and the location was great.

My room was backside of restaurant, not very clean was ok, Staf was friendly, amenities were basic only

really well located. staff was helpful. our room wasn't the newest one but still pretty good

Room I was given did not look like the tidy clean room advertised. There were ants throughout the bed linen, ants on desk, main light did not work, air conditioner could no be turned off or temperature changed so room was too cold. Bathroom tap was broken and shower dripped constantly leaving bathroom always wet and damp smelling. Luckly was refunded for cutting my trip short however refund was hard to attain as staff were unhelpful. Only positive was the pool

I will stay here again. This accommodation suited my needs. Walk a few steps and there is a bar and restaurants in close proximity. Everything you need is so close. The beach at the bottom of the property. Perfect for those learning to dive or on a solo journey.

Good spot for divers on low budget. Simple live divers hub which been excellent. Bungalows need proper rub and area lick of paint .Swimming pool ok mostly occupied By dive courses but you can use next door cliff view resort pool.
