Sensi Paradise Beach Resort

Sensi Paradise, Koh Tao, Thailand - Explore & Book

"There are 3 good reasons to go to Koh Tao. First, it offers the most exciting diving in the Gulf of Thailand. Second, it is a picturesque island near Samui. And third, it is a mighty fine place to sit and do nothing.We chose the third reason, and fulfilled our task without the slightest difficulty. Days passed by in a coma of sunbathing on sandy beaches, snorkelling through fish-filled seas, reading atop granite boulders, and nipping around the island on longtail boats, with only fresh seafood, spicy soups and cold beers for interruption. Staying at Sensi Paradise certainly helped. It's a good-value and well run lodge, one of many dotted around the island's 20km of palm-fringed shore-line. Of course, if you want action, the adjacent village of Mae Haad offers bars, clubs, dive courses, mountain bikes and kayaks for rent. Highs There's a variety of accommodation, from simple backpackers' huts to larger stilted houses at the water's edgeLovely landscaped gardens with palms, lawns, bright flowers, tropical birds and a huge, secluded poolBeachside restaurant with seafood BBQ's and fresh fruit pressés Sandy beach on your doorstep, and more secluded coves within a short walkHandy location for dive courses, bike and kayak rentals, and more... Lows We've received mixed feedback on this property of late; it's been some time since we were last able to visit and experience it for ourselves, but we hope to stop by personally soon. In the meantime, please note that our review may not entirely reflect the experience of staying at Sensi ParadiseBeing near the main pier means a lot of noise from the regular boats serving the island, and the recent reports suggest the beach is quite dirtyOnly a few of the houses are immediately on the seaPrices have risen of late, and you must buy their water in glass bottles (no plastic)Reports suggest the quality of the food has droppedIt may take a while to get an answer to your enquiry" - Michael Cullen
