We booked another 4 days at this resort because we liked it so much. The staff were so thoughtful and helpful. They went out of their way to make every guest a beautiful Kratong for us to take to the pier to release into the waves. So beautiful and so thoughtful! Loi Kratong Day On the full moon of the twelfth lunar month, in November, this festival celebrates the release of misfortune. ‘Loi Kratong’ means to float a ‘Kratong’, an object decorated like a lotus bloom which is laid on the water to be carried away, thereby symbolically taking away any bad luck. Respect is also paid to the spirit of the waters. The festival, with live stage performances, is held in the evening at the main pier in Mae Haad. Jonathon, the Divemaster was so personable and friendly. We were not diving this trip but he took the time to carefully explain about different spots to snorkel and how to access them. I believe he would be an excellent Divemaster as he is so encouraging and positive. You will like him. The pool at the resort is specially designed to teach diving. Try it!! I would give the staff full marks! The location is ideal as they offer free shuttle service. We enjoyed the walk up and down !

We stayed here for a couple nights to experience all Koh Tao had to offer. The steep inclines throughout the hotel's walkways were tough for my gf to navigate and the hotel is far away from the walking streets. However, the shuttle services, consieege and private pools more than made up for it. Our room was huge as well.

Loved this hotel! It's a little off the main street so it's nice and quiet at night. The hotel also offers rides up and down the hill to get to the main walking street. Everything at the hotel was wonderful. Room was amazing, view was breathtaking, couldn't have asked for anything more! One tip if you're looking to do a diving course, it's significantly cheaper elsewhere on the island through other diving schools.

Lovely stay. Everything was clean, comfy and the staff were very attentive. There was a shuttle bus to the beach which was great. Only thing I would say is they didn’t really have links to hiring a moped.

The hotel is fabulous, the breakfast is very good. But they should improve the accessibility, there are a lot os stairs and no lift for elderly or people with disabilities. It’s also far from the Sairee beach, they should offer more shuttle times, specially at night.

I stayed in the sea view villa, If you book one of these be aware it is at the top of the hill the resort is built on but they do have a golf cart that can be called any tine and is at the villas within a few minutes. The villa itself was really great, it felt really homely and the decor was modern. One slightly strange thing is the toilet is in a shower cubicle, the bathroom has no door and there is a clear glass panel to see into the bedroom, bit awkward if with a partner. The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast was a good selection and the sushi restaurant nice. It was really quiet whilst I was here and its a long way down the hill to town and the beach, again a golf cart does runs every hour but I'd advise hiring moped if you want to get out and about more, they're cheap enough. Would I stay here again ? Yes, I probably would

Perfect stay
What can I say... Our stay at this resort was amazing. The resort is located inland at the top of a hill; hence I’d recommend you look out for the hotel shuttle from the port, or get a taxi. The staff here were so friendly and attentive, and the variety at the breakfast buffet was abundant and delicious. They also have a cool rooftop bar, which plays great music and overlooks the sea (great for sunsets). We initially booked 2 nights here and fell in love with our pool access room. These rooms are conveniently situated a short walk from reception. Our room was huge and clean, and the ambiance at the pool was so relaxing, peaceful and beautiful (pool access rooms share one pool between two/three rooms). We were enjoying our stay so much we requested to stay an extra night, but due to unavailability of our room, we were moved to a sea view room. Another beautiful room, much smaller but sits at the top of the resort overlooking everything with beautiful views from the balcony. It is a bit of a walk uphill, but the staff are happy to give you a lift any time in one of their buggies. It was so nice, I actually decided to propose to my partner here. The staff were amazing in helping me organise everything; they went above and beyond my expectations. I am so happy with how everything went, and my fiancé agrees it was perfect!!! The Tarna Align Resort will always have a special place in our hearts, and we would not hesitate to recommend anyone stay here. Thank you again :)

Beautiful hillside resort
We enjoyed our stay at The Tarna. The original plan was to take a scuba course but it takes 3 full days and we didn’t have enough time. However the hotel helped us book snorkeling trips and recommended an excursion to Freedom Beach which was amazing. We loved our room and the pool was beautiful. It’s about an 8 minute walk to Sairee beach but it’s nice to be a bit removed from the noisy road. We rented a Scooter and had a great time. Highly recommend this resort if you are looking for a bit of luxury on the down to earth island of Koh Tao

Probably on of the top properties on Koh Tao! Stayed at the Villa with Seaview for 4nights, and the view was absolutely stunning! Staff was super helpful and also great to have on-site PADI dive centre if you wish to opt for small group diving sessions. One down side is the location of the villa to main reception which you can only rely on in-house golf car; and property is bit remoted to the main Sairee Beach area which often took 15 min walk from Sairee Beach to resort uphill unless you have a taxi car booked in advance. Overall quite enjoyable stay with Tarna Align!

Excellent hotel, but just one note. If you get the higher suites with the view, could be alot of stairs if you go in and out alot as there's no elevator. They have a golf cart on site to take you up and I'm sure they will try to help at anytime but may not be for everyone.

Really good but not without it’s faults.
Generally a really nice hotel. The design is good and the view over the bay is stunning. A really nice cocktail bar too with a great happy hour. The diving team are great too as is the equipment. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. A few niggles - it doesn’t quite feel finished, the toilets in the villas give little chance of privacy which means kicking your partner out when you need a number higher than one. Also you really need to hire a scooter to get to and from the action. And lastly if you don’t have a private pool and there is a scuba lesson going on in the main pool you’re stuck for options.

This is a beautiful hotel, set up in the hills overlooking Koh Tao. View is lovely and the rooms are stunning. Pool is also lovely and they have a nice roof top bar. Would recommend! Only comment is that it is about 15+ minute walk uphill to the hotel. They do run a shuttle but it is at actually pretty inconvenient times. They charge you 50baht per person to go outside these hours. If I were the hotel I’d simply remove this charge, and make it more welcoming to people of all ages and abilities.

Dined at Blue chair and art gallery restauarant also just dosn the street. Very nice roomss with comfortable beds. Great breakfast variety. We got a great deal in expedia and was worth the price. Also have free pickup/dropoff to pier for feery and Have daily shuttle service if you need down to Sairee.

Dear Kathryn, Thank you for choosing The Tarna Align Resort as your accommodation here in Koh Tao. It is indeed a modern hotel in a quiet spot as it was only 2 years old. The facilities of the hotel such as the rooms was new. So there is no doubt that the amenities and facilities inside the room is very comfortable with a great views.

Very Nice Hotel!!
We had a lovely stay at the Tarna Align. It is high up so the hotel was steep to get up and down on but that didn’t bother us at all. They do offer to come and get you from your room to the bottom of the hotel if needed. But we found it good for walking off all the food we ate at breakfast. We struggled to get our wifi working for the first couple of hours and after speaking with the very helpful staff, we had our wifi working in no time! The breakfast was beautiful, and such a good variety of foods and very delicious coffee. The pool was also lovely! Our room was gorgeous - it was right at the top so we had beautiful views, our room was cleaned everyday and the bed was very comfy. I would highly recommend this hotel. It is also close by to some restaurants, we found it good hiring a scooter, you can see so much more or the hotel does provide a shuttle as well. If my husband and I ever go back to Koh Tao we will definitely stay here again.
