We were happy with our initial welcome and check in. We were picked up from the pier free of charge for our initial journey, thereafter charged too and fro from the hotel which became expensive. The location of the hotel is on the opposite side of the island, the area being quite remote but having fantastic snorkeling opportunities..
We stayed for a full week but in reality around 3 or 4 days would suffice in the hotel. The staff were friendly but there was often miscommunication due to little spoken Thai or English. The food was average and the set breakfast menu was limited with only instant coffee.The staff promptly solved simple issues that arose in the room such as fixing the tv etc, but there was little to be done about the continually blocked toilet or the ants that we shared the bathroom with. The staff tried to make our stay special and made an effort to do so but in the end this was soured by a disagreement on the payment of a bill that we settled at the beginning of our stay but we were then billed for close to departure. Future visitors to this hotel would be wise to ensure that all bills are paid for through the main reception and that they request a receipt upon payment to avoid any pilfering that may or may not happen.
4th time to stay at the beautiful Beach Resort. The staff always go out of their way to make our stay the best we can ask for. Food is always great. Swimming in the pool or snorkel in the bay. Dive shops are on site and ready to be used. Get certified while you are there. Easy trip to town or get a scooter. Great hiking also The only thing is the bed are hard. Manager says that new beds are coming so hope that is true. I did get extra bed covers to add as a pillow top cover but beds need replaced if you have back issues.
We really enjoyed the Montalay. The staff was great, the beach is beautiful, and our room was spacious and had hot water and a refrigerator. The hotel would benefit from a water refill station instead of bottled water. We loved how the resort is built into the landscape, with boulders and drainage incorporated into the design. The included breakfast was great. The hillside rooms are a bit of a climb, but the view is amazing.
Wonderful calm atmosphere and very kind people helped make our stay excellent. Rooms are very clean and the pictures don’t do it justice. Much quieter and relaxed than Sairee beach (which we wanted). Thanks!
Beds are too hard and very uncomfortable
Towels are tatty and should all be replaced
Wi-Fi consistently drops connection in the bedrooms
The beach is a coral beach so its uncomfortable to walk on
Food is over priced and very average
The location is pretty remote in that there is nothing to do outside the entrance to the hotel. You will need to hire scooters although only a 15 minute ride to town (sairee beach). The shuttle bus is not complimentary and only runs 4 times in the day. If you want to go out of hours it costs nearly 10 times the rate per person one way.
Good fish life snorkelling from the beach but coral is all dead.
Several young families stayed during my 4 night visit. If you want to switch off with kids in the pool all day this could be for you.
Only that I had prepaid I would have moved
I wanted to love this hotel. I want to say straight away there were two very friendly staff. One waiter and I’m sorry I don’t remember his name and another who helped me with my bags. But aside from that the customer service at the front desk wasn’t polite. I felt like I was putting them out, no smiles. Ignored and playing on their phones. So for me that is why the negative feedback.
Pros: food was pleasantly great with one pasta dish despite reading negative reviews. Normal price for that kind of menu choice in Thailand hotels. Oddly the Thai soup was a let down. But I’ve eaten at hundreds of restaurants in Thailand the past year. Bed is comfy. Used the TV to watch news from back home and had t bothered most of the year. Beach is beautiful. Weather wasn’t great during my stay but no fault of the hotel. Bed was comfy. Pillows not so great, needed a change and shower was hot/nice bathroom. Cons: Balcony seats needed covers. Menu was over priced but that seems the norm for the out of the way cliff hotels away from the pier and Sairee beach. Really the major issue was not feeling like I was treated as a guest and customer service wins all the time even in a run down hotel anywhere in the world. I like what I like, but I’m not unreasonable.
Fantastic resort on Koh Tao, great room and staffs, snorkeling directly on the beach. Would recommend.
Pro tip, eat down the beach to the right at the small restaurant with the up stairs, open air restaurant, not attached to any hotel. Best food in Tanote
A perfect resort if you are looking to relax. My roouwas very nice with great air conditioning. The beach in front was very nice with fabulous snorkeling right from shore. I can’t wait to come back.
We stayed at the Montalay Beach Resort for 5 nights in late January. The resort is on Tanote Bay which is where the highway ends on the eastern side of Koh Tao. This area is not nearly as busy as the west coast beach strip. The resort has a granular sand beach that provides exceptional water clarity and snorkelling on site. It also is a PADI dive center. We stayed in the Treehouse bungalows on the forest side of the road. While they were a bit of a clump they provided a great view from the spacious front deck. Given its isolated location, you are at the mercy of the Resort restaurant. (As well as a few others). Thankfully the prices were reasonable and the food was top notch. If we ever find ourselves in Koh Tao again, we will head to the Montalay Beach Resort

The beach was nice and great for snorkelling. Tree house only for people who like nature as we met a snake on the way to the room at night, woke up with a gecon in our room a had 2 bats in the terrace at night eating something there:)
We had a very good stay. We were in the tree top fan cabin and it was fantastic. It is nestled in the jungle but still has a sea view through the trees. The included breakfast was good. When ordering food for lunch or dinner, it was big, tasty portions and it was reasonably priced. Great bay for snorkeling or lounging on the beach. Would definitely recommend.
Stay here if you want a secluded experience. The location is a bit remote. You need to take cabs to go to the main areas of the island which add to the cost. So better to take this hotel only if you wish to spend your holiday at a resort away from main Koh Tao attractions.

Go for the beach
Beach and snorkelling were amazing and beautiful. Hotel was average at best.
This is the second time we have stayed here. Excellent location for snorkeling. Our stay was in their low season so we knew it would be quite. We just think closing up the restaurant at 8:30pm was a shame and a missed opportunity for the hotel to make some more revenue from bar sales.
Great resort, very clean. Helpful staff, we booked a snorkeling tour from here and it was amazing. I just wish they had air conditioning, however our rooms did have a fan. Its on the other side of all the nightlife and restaurants so we had to taxi in and out all the time. I would stay again though.
Everything was good exept for the food. The breakfast was poor and the thaifood we ordered for lunch were the least tasteful at our holiday so far.
But the snorklig was really good so visit the bay!
Hotel is clean and comfortable. Staff are pleasant. As it is a 3 star establishment we are not expecting five star services.
Free pick up from the port is provided. Food is good, with a wide menu choice. You come to Tanote Bay to enjoy the amazing views and snorkelling; still the best variety of fish I have ever see. Not even three feet from the shore you can snorkel.
Positives:
Beautiful bay
Excellent snorkelling
Not far from main port/beach sairee
Rooms lovely and clean
Staff friendly.
Negatives:
Resort shut down 9pm
Latest resort taxi back 9.30pm
Bay is expensive compared to the rest of the island
Private taxi was 500/600 baht one way
resort food hit and miss
Nearby Jah bar everyone recommends was closed
Not enough storage in room ( one wardrobe 5 coat hangers was literally it)
Would not recommend going out of season, we were under the impression the resort closed down at 11pm and Jah bar carried on till 1am. Not the case but we did have 10 days of sporadic torrential rain which wont have helped. Jah bar were busy fixing their road.
Oxygen snorkelling trip was the highlight booked at sairee.
Clean rooms. Easy beach access. Pool small with few seats. Restaurant average, set menu for breakfast- big servings but not much variety. Check-in/out good but otherwise limited staff interaction. No ATM. Comfortable bed. Could not get hot water in shower. Picked us up from nearby hotel with only 1/2 hour notice via email -thank you.
Complimentary hotel taxi from the pier when you arrive to the island. Call before you arrive and they'll pick you up from a designated pick up point. Hotel is further away from the busy touristy parts of Koh Tao. Which was great, the beach was not as crowded and the snorkeling was wonderful. There is also a diving Centre if you wanted to go scuba diving. Our room was very comfortable, wifi excellent and well secured from mosquitoes and bugs.
