Dusit Buncha is a tranquil mid-range resort located on the isolated northwest end of Koh Tao, a 10-minute drive from Sairee Beach and nightlife. The property sits perched on a steep hillside and features spectacular ocean views overlooking idyllic Nang Yuan Island. Sixty-nine spacious one- and two-bedroom villas, streamlined modern suites, and rustic wooden bungalows are dotted along the steep cliffside property and oceanfront. Rooms have clean modern interiors, hardwood furniture, and feature ocean views, but are a bit dated. Facilities include two gorgeous outdoor swimming pools and a semi open-air restaurant and bar set along the seafront. The hotel offers excellent opportunities for snorkeling, kayaking, and swimming, but doesn’t include a beach for lounging. For a beachfront alternative, Koh Tao Cabana is located right on Sairee Beach.

The View Point Resort certainly lives up to its name. The location high atop a hill at the end of Chalok Baan Khao Beach makes for great views and plenty of privacy, and it is a short (steep) stroll down to the sand and village. The restaurant here is quite atmospheric, set at the bottom of the hill next to the sea. Cottages have charming, rustic Thai stye, but note that cheapest cottages overlook the gardens; you'll have to upgrade for sunset views over the sea. The Pool Villas are the best, but priciest, bet. Arriving to the resort by road is a twisting, torturous trek, but for some guests, that's all part of the adventure. It may also be worth considering the similarly priced Chintakiri Resort, which also has great views.

Koh Samui Resort is a small value property that sits off the beaten path along peaceful Bang Po Beach. This is one of the island's least developed areas, though there's not much to do in the immediate area beyond the beach. There are only 20 simple, but relatively modern, bungalows set in a tropical garden around a small swimming pool. The restaurant and beach are across the small street which runs through the property. It feels something like the Samui of old, with a long sweep of sand and no beach vendors, jet skis, or other major development. However, guests looking for a simple beach escape at good value will appreciate this spot, which is much quieter than places like the sleeker Smile House Resort back east in Bo Phut
