Lub d Koh Tao Tanote Bay in Koh Tao Island

I recently stayed at Lub d Koh Tao, and I can confidently say it was one of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever had on the island. The bungalow-style atmosphere gives a beautiful classic tropical vibe — peaceful, charming, and perfectly blended with the natural surroundings. Waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying the sea breeze right from the property made the stay feel truly special and relaxing.
What made this experience exceptional, however, was the outstanding service from Olivia, one of the serving staff members. From the very first interaction, she welcomed us with a genuine smile and warm energy that instantly made us feel comfortable. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and natural hospitality truly elevated our dining experience.
Olivia has a graceful and classic service style — attentive without being intrusive, efficient yet calm. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and provided thoughtful menu recommendations with confidence and knowledge. Every interaction felt sincere and personal, which is rare and very much appreciated.
It’s not just about good service; it’s about how someone makes you feel — and Olivia made us feel valued and well taken care of throughout our stay. She reflects the high standards of hospitality that Lub d Koh Tao represents.
If you’re looking for a beachfront bungalow-style stay with a vibrant yet relaxing atmosphere and world-class service, this is the place. I will definitely return, and I truly hope to be served by Olivia again. Highly recommended!

I am a solo traveler and was made to feel very welcome by the incredible staff. They even surprised me with a birthday song and sticky rice. The hut was large, clean and AC worked efficiently. You can't beat the location, right on the beach. Snorkeling in Tanote Bay was fun.
It is a really chill atmosphere, with a mix of families and couples. It was not loud. It had a real jungle feel to it. The all day breakfast was fantastic. They will arrange taxis for you to go anywhere on the island.
I am forever grateful for my time at spent at this special place.

An absolute gem with greatest service 💯🙏

🛌 The familyroom was spacious, clean and had a huge balcony. The beds were super comfy.

🗺️ Location is the best you can find in Koh Tao if you’re in to snorkeling and chilled out beach life. No smell of weed and party noises, absolutely stunning beach, corals and sea life.

🥙 Food in Lub d restaurant is good; both thai and western food was amazing. Breakfast was the best we’ve had in – I mean, how often can you order perfect eggs benedict or avocado toast in Thailand?

🙏 But the best of all was the staff. 10/10 points of all help we received. Especially Kiat is a treasure they should never let go and need to reward him of excellent customer service. I had an accident when we arrived; my leg fell through the terrace and got a bit hurt. They helped me right away but also gave us a voucher and began renovating the terrace the next day. A great example of how you can turn unfortunate situations for guest satisfaction.

🙌 Thank you Lub d staff! We had a great time and will always remember this experience 💗

Very nice hotel, staff are very friendly and helpful, our children fall in love with Mew! Rooms are renovated (the main building), quiet and beds are very comfortable. Beach is great for snorkeling. Hotel located a bit outside - there are no shops or restaurants around, but you can always get a taxi for affordable price. Breakfast is very good, and hotel restaurant is not bad, but it is better to order Thai food there. We are definitely going to come back!

Amazing stay! The staff instantly made us feel welcome — especially Mew and Olivia. They were always in a positive mood, happy to chat, and shared the best local tips with us! 🌴

The location is also great. A beautiful and secluded beach surrounded by nature, with sunshine all day and great cocktails. The room was clean and nicely decorated, and the included breakfast was a lovely surprise. Overall a really good experience!

Perfect location, beautiful variety of Thai and healthy foods, very attractive and friendly

I come back again

Beautiful location along a calm bay with coral reef only a couple of feet into the water .
Room was clean and very comfortable.
We had two children aged 9 and 14 and they felt safe and welcome at the location . The beds for the children were not included in the booking and additional fee had to be paid upon arrival , this was the only strange option as our booking party stated the exact number of guests.
We ate at the restaurant and the food quality was very good albeit a little more expensive than the surrounding restaurants.
We would return to this place again in the future

comfy and spacious room
beautiful beach
lots of marine life and coral
great for snorkeling and rock jumping

From the moment we walked up to the reservation counter we were greeted with smiles and happiness. This was the entirety of our time at the resort. Every staff member was kind and helpful, do I buy everything to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The location was amazing, our room was perfect and the food was great. There is nothing I would change about our stay. We will be staying again!
