Via Lub d Koh Tao Tanote Bay

The Lub d Koh Tao Tanote Bay, formerly Montalay Beach Resort, is located on Tanote Bay on the east coast of Koh Tao, a small, sheltered bay known for its snorkeling opportunities directly from the beach. It is far removed from the bars of Sairee – and that's precisely what makes it so appealing.

Room categories range from simple Coral Hut Bungalows with shared bathrooms, to Starfish Hut Bungalows with private bathrooms, Jungle Hut Cottages and Tree Top Nest Bungalows with sea views and bathtubs, to standard rooms with balconies and garden views. There is a pool, a restaurant with a bar, and a beach bar. Guests praise the clean rooms, friendly staff, and snorkeling opportunities right on the beach.

The road over the hill to Tanote is steep, so it is recommended to arrange the transfer from Mae Haad Pier rather than using a rented scooter.

    Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

    Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

    After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

    Location is more important than the stars

    A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
