Highly recommend the Viewpoint Resort in Koh Tao! The place is beautiful and well-kept, but what really makes it amazing is the staff! They are absolutely lovely people—genuinely friendly, funny, accommodating. We watched some of the staff happily play with a baby and toddler during breakfast, allowing their parents to eat in peace, knowing their kiddos were in good hands. They did it without being asked and we could see they genuinely enjoyed the interaction.
Aside from that, there is a lot to do within walking distance—many beaches, little shops, kayak rentals, snorkelling right off the beach at the resort, and a lot of restaurants (both fancy and mom and pop places—all with excellent cuisine)!
Lastly, it’s far enough from the chaos that it’s peaceful and relaxing, but close enough that it’s just a quick shuttle or cab ride into the town center in Sairee beach.
