Lovely view but poor pool & bathroom issue
PROS: Staying in the villa was a very cool experience and the views were amazing. The bed was also very comfortable and the duvet was great. In addition, the staff were attentive and they would pick us up from our villa to reception in a golf cart for free (steep hill but could easily be walked). CONS: Although we liked the villa, one significant downside was that there wasn’t a proper door on the bathroom (or a roof) meaning that you could hear everything going on in the bathroom in the bedroom. For that reason, it would put me off staying again. We booked a sea view villa so curious to see whether this issue affects the other property types. We had also expected the pool to be much bigger but it’s really quite small. Although there are two public pools, one is used exclusively for diving and there isn’t much space to lounge around the swimming pool. Finally, it is also worth noting that the shuttles to town only run 4 times a day (8:00 / 10:00 / 16:00 / 18:00) and back 5 times day (10:00 / 11:00 / 16:00 / 18:00 / 21:00). Out of hours service is 50 baht per person per journey.

We booked another 4 days at this resort because we liked it so much. The staff were so thoughtful and helpful. They went out of their way to make every guest a beautiful Kratong for us to take to the pier to release into the waves. So beautiful and so thoughtful! Loi Kratong Day On the full moon of the twelfth lunar month, in November, this festival celebrates the release of misfortune. ‘Loi Kratong’ means to float a ‘Kratong’, an object decorated like a lotus bloom which is laid on the water to be carried away, thereby symbolically taking away any bad luck. Respect is also paid to the spirit of the waters. The festival, with live stage performances, is held in the evening at the main pier in Mae Haad. Jonathon, the Divemaster was so personable and friendly. We were not diving this trip but he took the time to carefully explain about different spots to snorkel and how to access them. I believe he would be an excellent Divemaster as he is so encouraging and positive. You will like him. The pool at the resort is specially designed to teach diving. Try it!! I would give the staff full marks! The location is ideal as they offer free shuttle service. We enjoyed the walk up and down !

We stayed here for a couple nights to experience all Koh Tao had to offer. The steep inclines throughout the hotel's walkways were tough for my gf to navigate and the hotel is far away from the walking streets. However, the shuttle services, consieege and private pools more than made up for it. Our room was huge as well.

Loved this hotel! It's a little off the main street so it's nice and quiet at night. The hotel also offers rides up and down the hill to get to the main walking street. Everything at the hotel was wonderful. Room was amazing, view was breathtaking, couldn't have asked for anything more! One tip if you're looking to do a diving course, it's significantly cheaper elsewhere on the island through other diving schools.

Lovely stay. Everything was clean, comfy and the staff were very attentive. There was a shuttle bus to the beach which was great. Only thing I would say is they didn’t really have links to hiring a moped.

The hotel is fabulous, the breakfast is very good. But they should improve the accessibility, there are a lot os stairs and no lift for elderly or people with disabilities. It’s also far from the Sairee beach, they should offer more shuttle times, specially at night.

Stunning setting and well designed hotel. Walkable to beach. Scuba diving team fantastic (thanks Yo, Halle, Nico and the boat staff). Amazing dive boat, almost fully exclusive to Tarna dive centre. Average breakfast. Fan in room stuck on same setting. No good mirror and poor lighting in room.

I stayed in the sea view villa, If you book one of these be aware it is at the top of the hill the resort is built on but they do have a golf cart that can be called any tine and is at the villas within a few minutes. The villa itself was really great, it felt really homely and the decor was modern. One slightly strange thing is the toilet is in a shower cubicle, the bathroom has no door and there is a clear glass panel to see into the bedroom, bit awkward if with a partner. The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast was a good selection and the sushi restaurant nice. It was really quiet whilst I was here and its a long way down the hill to town and the beach, again a golf cart does runs every hour but I'd advise hiring moped if you want to get out and about more, they're cheap enough. Would I stay here again ? Yes, I probably would

Perfect stay
What can I say... Our stay at this resort was amazing. The resort is located inland at the top of a hill; hence I’d recommend you look out for the hotel shuttle from the port, or get a taxi. The staff here were so friendly and attentive, and the variety at the breakfast buffet was abundant and delicious. They also have a cool rooftop bar, which plays great music and overlooks the sea (great for sunsets). We initially booked 2 nights here and fell in love with our pool access room. These rooms are conveniently situated a short walk from reception. Our room was huge and clean, and the ambiance at the pool was so relaxing, peaceful and beautiful (pool access rooms share one pool between two/three rooms). We were enjoying our stay so much we requested to stay an extra night, but due to unavailability of our room, we were moved to a sea view room. Another beautiful room, much smaller but sits at the top of the resort overlooking everything with beautiful views from the balcony. It is a bit of a walk uphill, but the staff are happy to give you a lift any time in one of their buggies. It was so nice, I actually decided to propose to my partner here. The staff were amazing in helping me organise everything; they went above and beyond my expectations. I am so happy with how everything went, and my fiancé agrees it was perfect!!! The Tarna Align Resort will always have a special place in our hearts, and we would not hesitate to recommend anyone stay here. Thank you again :)
