About Tanote
Nestled in the sheltered bay of Tanote on Koh Tao's east coast, this resort offers a tranquil alternative to the busier beaches on the island's west side. The bay itself is renowned among divers and snorkelers for its calm, clear waters and easily accessible marine life, making it an ideal base for exploring the underwater world without having to travel far. The location is idyllic: the surrounding hills and the bay itself create a sense of seclusion that appeals to travelers seeking respite from the island's hustle and bustle.
Guests can expect a relaxed, tranquil atmosphere, typical of the smaller resorts on Koh Tao's less developed east coast. The resort offers something for everyone: from diving enthusiasts who use the bay as a daily base for their dives to holidaymakers who simply want a peaceful beach vacation. The accommodations are arranged to make the most of the natural surroundings, and thanks to the bay's sheltered location, the water usually remains calm, even when conditions are rougher elsewhere on the island.

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.
