From the second we walked up to reception to the moment we left we were so so glad we had chosen so stay at Simple Life. I had booked basic accommodation through another dive school but we were not quite prepared for just how basic it was (complete with cockroaches and giant millipedes, and it stunk) so we promnplty went...

Everthing about the hotel is really good, reception, room, facilities (pool etc) well worth paying a bit more. The rooms are large and the place is lovely and quiet. The balcony rooms on the 2nd floor were the best. Will stay here again!

Simple Life is located just at the edge of Sairee Beach where the main strip of clubs, pubs and restaurants are located it really is in a great spot. Upon check-in we were delighted to be upgraded to a balcony room, the room was located in one of the new buildings that they have just finished building. We had an... More

Yeah, I just couldn't take that place anymore. Who plays Barbara Streisand in Thailand? And whyyy are there no umbrellas on the beach? Whatever. Simple life is the perfect balance of amenities you need, and a fun location. It's easy find, and unpretentious. The massage lady was super nice, and the reception helped us with laundry and boat rides.the free... More

Stayed with the girl reviewer below as we both found the fan accommodation our dive school offered lacking... A/C. Seriously, it's hot on Koh Tao, get a room with A/C!! While this place would be overpriced anywhere else in Thailand it's a pretty good deal for Koh Tao. A/C was strong, beds were comfy, and room was always clean by... More

The rooms are good, very big, I stayed with another girl who was diving at the same school as me and also wanted A/C accommodation. We ended up paying 1700 baht total/night which was a good deal compared to some of the other crappy non A/C places we looked at. The room had 2 beds (one King, one double) and... More

I really enjoyed my stay at the Simple Life Resort and would recommend them to anyone looking for accommodation and diving experiences in Koh Tao. I came to Koh Tao for the diving and found the staff both at the Resort, and the dive centre to be very friendly, experienced, but also relaxed and easy going. The rooms at the... More

We arrived on koh Tao at 9am, upon booking our room we requested early check in, twin beds etc. We had to wait until 1.30pm before we could enter our room to find out it was one bed not two twins, after going down to complain and change our room around it took another hour before we had the room...

I have stayed twice to simple life. The rooms are of a good standard - large Bathrooms, comfy beds / sheets and extremely clean. The cleaning staff are great and come in twice a day. The check in process is a little primitive, but you have to take this with a pinch of salt (your not paying 5*). The Pool... More
