Seashells has a good dive school, but otherwise it is a really bad place to stay on Koh Tao. We wouldnt normally comment on tripadvisor (giving most places the benefit of the doubt), but feel pretty strongly about this place. To put it simply, the staff are terrible. They resent any question, particulary any request for new towels or to... More

The hotel has a nice position right next to the beach and the whole place is pretty good-looking. But looks can be deceiving as we all know. Nothing seems to work at this place. The Internet is down about 90% of the time, the showers sprinkle water in all directions and floor boards are loose here and there causing people... More

We stayed in Koh Tao for 2 nights at Seashell Resort in a poolside villa, we couldn't fault it. The hotel is in a great location and on the beach, close to bars, restaurants. cafes. It is approx a 10 min drive from the pier. The villa itself was spacious, clean and modern with aircon and a balcony. The pool... More

We spent 3 nights here, the place itself is nice (nature, flowers surrounding you). We had the pool bungalow, and the room itself was nice and clean!. problems: The resort is located just on the main beach, unfortunatly during the night you may have big problems on sleeping because of the LOUD sound coming from disco parties (if you would...

We stayed at Sea Shell Resort as part of my Partner doing her diving course through the dive school operated by the Resort (which she was impressed with!). So it would be fair to say in the first instance the accommodation was technically free (included within the fee for the dive course). I must make it clear that this review... More

Stayed at seashell in January 2012 for 9 days. This is my second stay at seashell. But this time we stayed in the new building with the new pool on the beachside. The room was very nice and we could jump right into the pool directly from our terrace. The restaurant is a bit old but they just got new... More

Stayed here due to reviews about dive centre which is owned by hotel. Stayed in garden bungalow at rear of property next to main road - noise is a problem. Room is large, spacious, clean and tidy. However, like all of the hotel it is in need of refurbishment - bathroom had been repaired at one time (worked OK) but... More

Seaview resort has a lot nice reviews, I'm OK with their room but the bathroom and toilet is horrible. Not auto flush.ac resort also not good. Seashell resort has super... More
