“The hillside location is a double-edged sword, rewarding those who brave the climb with stunning views of Koh Nang Yuan Island. While the distance from town necessitates reliance on shuttles or taxis, the serenity and natural beauty create a secluded escape, though dining on-site might not be the best value.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Dusit Buncha Koh Tao By Riya Group Hotel from previous guests about their experience

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Dusit Buncha Koh Tao By Riya Group offers guests spacious rooms, some in the form of cozy wooden chalets featuring large balconies with stunning views. The location allows for easy access to Koh Nang Yuan, and the hotel provides taxi boat services to the island; plus there's a designated snorkeling area right at the base of the resort. The pool area is particularly appealing, and though some guests have noted the need for bathroom lighting improvements, many appreciate the convenient shuttle service to Koh Tao's center and pier.

Acceptable Stay with Notable Issues

amazing viewsunproactive staff

The resort offered amazing views that met expectations.

The staff was not proactive. Most times they gathered in groups smoking. They chatted with each other when plastic littered the floor. Cushions on the sunbeds were mouldy and the metal was heavily rusty.

The hill to the rooms was pretty steep. i wasn't expecting such a climb. the pool needed some tlc with missing tiles. housekeeping wasn't consistent. I sometimes had to ask for coffee.

expensive taxiextra charges

The location was pretty remote (it is far from everything). Scooter rentals at the hotel cost more than in town. The hotel also charged 300 baht for a taxi when other companies on the island only charged 100 baht. I found these extra charges very annoying.

The villa face the sea and Nang Yuan Island. The view from the villa were really amazing. The swimming was awesome and very safe. I thought the beds were comfy. I was impressed by the fire show at the restaurant, with good music.

The lighting in the bathroom need improvement.

This hotel stands at the north of Sairee beach, offering privacy. It is opposite Nanyuan island, presenting a great deal of the best view. Getting to the main area for dinner and the beach takes only 5 minutes by car.
