Moondance Magic View Bungalow

The view from the cabins was incredible. Koh Tao is a beautiful island but it can be hard to get away from the hoards of tourists - well these cabins get you some real peace and quiet with lovely views. We got sick on Koh Tao and needed to adjust plans, cancelling our transfer north and our next stays. The staff at Moondance Magic View were extremely helpful to us - we messaged asking if they had availability for extension due to falling ill. They promptly arranged this for us and we're very helpful arranging our transfer back into town when we did depart etc. We were grateful for their understanding and assistance. All in all - amazing views, lovely quiet location, and very friendly, helpful staff. The bungalows are fairly basic, but still very nice with Aircon, fridge etc and that lovely hammock to chill on your balcony :)

Interesting place in a quieter area of Koh Tao. The bungalows are basic yet appeared clean, although don’t expect housekeeping to come in if staying for <4 days. Our lock on the door was broken and we were unable to get into the place for near 3 hours with no offer of compensation. Staff appear nice but avoid renting a scooter if you don’t fancy getting charged for previous damages! We stupidly rented without taking evidence of the condition of the scooter, due to the innocent demeanour of the place, but were slapped with ~£100 of damage costs for very minimal bumps and scratches, none of which had been caused by us! They keep a passport as deposit which should have been enough of a red flag to avoid but we ran out of time to fight our case. The inspection at the end convinced us that this scam had been done before as the lady knew exactly where to look, and although some staff appear lovely, our stay was tainted by the nasty way this was handled. There are definitely much nicer places in Koh Tao for less money. Would not recommend.

Moondance Magic View is all in the name; it’s a magical view. I didn’t exactly see the moon dance but there’s billions of stars right above you. All you can hear are the birds and the bugs and the ocean and it’s a bloody good time if you’re wanting a couple days by yourself or with your SO. The best part about this bungalow is you’re a short walk down to a breathtaking snorkeling spot. The food is fantastic if you want to dine in and ugh you just won’t get over the view. The room itself was quite dirty unfortunately. If you want to explore the island though it’s best to have your own scooter. There are no blinds or curtains but I highly recommend taking this opportunity to watch the sunrise. #magnificent.

This hotel is 10 mins by scooter from the busy pier area and Sairee beach. The breakfast options while simple were a great start to the day. Served in the most beautiful location. The bar area is stunning concrete marvel, high on a cliff looking out over the bay below and private snorkelling platform. The room was quite and a jungle experience surrounded my nature, this serenity does come at the price of a very steep location and the walk from breakfast back to the room is a small workout. We loved our time here and extended our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful and even organised tours for us.

This hotel is all about the amazing view from the bungalow and the reception. It is peaceful and the snorkeling from the hotel is great and nobody is there. The bungalow is rustic and you live among the nature (a huge geico managed to make it in the room). It is preferred to have a scooter and not be afraid of the road's ups and downs, but it is manageable of course. The stores are only 8 minutes away by scooter. The breakfast was not great but the staff is friendly and we spent 5 nights and asked to clean the bungalow once. You can rent scooter and scuba mask from the hotel but we rented the scooter from the pier to avoid paying for an extra ride 😉

The staff is super friendly and the view from the bungalow stunning! The complementary breakfast (eggs, omelette, pancake or rice soup) was just okay, but at least there was some I guess. We had lots of animals in our room and bathroom, like spiders, other small critters, cockroaches, geckos and a rat who tried to eat our soap (look at the photo of the soap). For a few nights this was a nice stay, especially during the day, but the evenings were quite adventurous and there was no warm water whatshowever. The way to our bungalow was stressful, as well as the way to the water. There is no beach but you can jump into the sea from the boulders. Snorkeling there is fantastic, many fish and corals to look at. All in all I would recommend this bungalow for people who like nature and little creatures, but if you get freaked out by spiders you shouldn't stay here. We stayed here for 3 nights which was a perfect stay in this secluded and quiet area of Koh Tao.

Remote bungalows, very far from any bigger settlement. Perfect place to just escape the crowds and enjoy great view on the sea. For breakfast (included in price) there was a choice of 5 meals (rice soup, pancakes, 3 variations of eggs and bread with some meat). It was also possible to order pad Thai or fried rice at reception for 120B. There is a beautiful viewpoint close to the reception, which is free of charge for guests (we recommend going there anyway, 50B for non-guests with bottle of water included). At the reception you can order a taxi, rent a motorbike or order a snorkelling trip (from Oxygen company, also good experience for 500B price). Place is 40min walking from the nearest shop and 1h walking from the main village on Koh Tao. The bungalow was quite simple, there were no annoying insects and house was well protected from them. View to the east allowed us to watch sunrise at the sea everyday. There were no window covers of any type. AC and fan were in the bedroom. Personnel was very friendly and helpful.

Wow, what a view!! Went freediving with some buddies, had the sea to ourselves (albeit 1 scuba boat). Had lunch at this cafe, was simple and yummy. 90 baht for lunch, 40 baht for coffeem 50 baht entry fee Very friendly staff Super cute puppy Bit of a climb up and down to the water. Slippery in some parts. Wooden decks and walkways very secure.
