My stay was quite pleasant overall! The hotel has clean and tidy rooms that offer a lovely view of the sea. The location is very central, making it easy to get around. However, I did have some noise issues early in the morning from the ferries and garbage collection. While the service was generally lovely, I found there were times when the reception wasn't available to assist with anything late in the evening.

I had a pleasant stay at Ananda Villa, enjoying clean and spacious rooms with a fantastic beach view. The staff were really friendly and always willing to help.

Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight. The location is prime, just a short walk from the pier and right on the beach, making it perfect for easy access to diving and local attractions. The rooms were spacious, well-decorated, and provided stunning sea views from the balcony. The atmosphere was peaceful, allowing for a relaxing stay despite being close to the vibrant center of activity. On the downside, the hotel doesn't have a swimming pool, which was a bit disappointing, and there could be more dining options available nearby.

I had an amazing time at Ananda Villa Koh Tao. The location is super convenient, just a short walk from the pier, and offers a lovely beach view from the room. The room was spacious and modern, but I did notice it was right above the kitchen of the restaurant, which wasn’t ideal. The restaurant on-site had fantastic food, making it easy to enjoy meals without venturing far. Overall, it was excellent value for money, although I'd suggest some improvements with noise from the kitchen.
