![]() ![]() ![]() Nearly all of it is 3 meters deep or more, with one long section dropping off to about 10 meters. ![]() Certainly our best experience on our trip in Thailand.Although there is an abundance of group snorkeling tours available in Koh Tao along the main road and adjacent walking streets near the pier, there is another option for those who are more adventure-minded, hate the crowds, and are just plain cheap! For Koh Tao snorkeling, to explore what is in my opinion the most beautiful underwater views will cost you nothing but a fair bit of exercise (or a simple daily motorbike rental).ĭisclaimer: This trip is not for weak swimmers! The entire trip in the water, one way, is about 45 minutes. The owners are straight forward, very helpful and friendly. ![]() Woodlaws Villas are only a 10min walk from the beach and close to all shops, restaurants and dive schools in the area (we would recommend Alvaro Diving). Located at the southern end in Chalok Baan Kao it is perfect for travelers who want to escape a bit the overcrowded Sairee Beach but at the same time enjoy all the amenities of beautiful Koh Tao. Both room types have small kitchens, very nice bathrooms with hot showers, are very clean, DVD selection, cable television and come even with a telephone to make calls on the island. We initially had the intention to stay a couple of days at Woodlawn Villas but after the first night we wanted to spend more time in this perfect location, and luckily we did! We were happy enough to spend a couple of nights in one of the smaller apartments and some nights in the very spacious Twilight Villa (perfect for families or larger groups). Well done to you all keep up your good work its fantastic. The position of the accommodation is great with many restaurants and bars only a short walk away and only a 10-15min walk to the beach which is great. We would not hesitate to stay at Woodlawn's again and we hope that it wont be too far in the future as we had a fantastic stay with Luke and Michelle and all at Woodlawn's. We were very lucky during our stay at Woodlawn's that it was the grand opening of their new swimming pool and Luke very kindly let us use it a few days in advance to its opening which was very welcome due to the heat - this swimming pool in amazing crystal clear water, beautiful location on site and make you feel 100% relaxed it was a fantastic addition to our stay here. The staff at Woodlawn's are all fantastic, helping with cases and cleaning the villa daily and also always giving you a wave and a hello when they see you which is so nice to see. the torch also provided is great as the walk back to the villas at night can be a little on the dark side. The Villa was very clean and well equipped with everything you could need to make your stay as simple as possible, the mobile phone they provide is very handy to make calls on the island to some takeaway food joints and local taxi drivers etc. We were met by Michelle who was very friendly and welcoming and made check in very swift and we were shown to our villa which was fantastic in every way possible. We stayed at Woodlawn Villas for 4 nights on our Honeymoon and after waiting many months to eventually get to Koh Tao for our stay we were not disappointed. We are definitely coming back in January 2014 and without a doubt can recomend Woodlawn Villas as the best place to stay on the island! We really felt that the owners put their heart into the it and that they care a lot about giving their guest the best experience. Upon the arrival you get a small introduction to the island with the info on the activities, nearby restaurants as well as a lot of useful tips on just about everything you need to know to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The service at Woodlawn Villas was impeccable - the cleaning staff was very polite and the owner - Luke was always extremely nice and helpful. The garden villa had everything we needed - a kitchen, air conditioning and free wi-fi. There is a laundry service right down the road and a big supermarket and some small grocery shops about 3 mins from the hotel. The location of Woodlawn Villas is perfect - 10 mins walk from the beach and away from the noise of the main street. The garden villa we stayed in was clean and had a beautiful view of the grounds. We opted for Woodlawn Villas because of the amazing reviews and we weren't dissapointed. We travelled to Koh Tao with my boyfriend in january 2013 and stayed at Luke's and Michelle's place for 14 days. ![]()
