Zhang Feixue 2009-05-09	Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad very quiet and clean.big bath room. big burger. near the beach and the pier.	easy
Siep Littooij 2009-05-03	Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Disappointing atmosphere upon arrival, stuffy room not made for natural/fan ventilation. Biggest problem was repetitive power outages in the room, each time in the adjacent rooms the aircondionter started up. Owner blamed general outages, but lights all around were always on.	Booking services excellent
Xiaodan Shao 2009-04-07	Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad It s near the dock and quite convenient. Room is also clean and tidy.But it s better to provide guests with free breakfast or cheaper breakfast.	Quite fast response.
TSANG-YEIN JHONNY 2009-03-16	Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad correct for the price staff friendly and helpful more english understanding and speaking will be better	no problem good job
Miller 2009-03-14	Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad We weren t impressed by our visit here. The room was over-priced, apparently double what it used to be but they hadn t renovated to justify the price increase. When we checked in the lady immediately tried to get us to upgrade our room and seemed eager to get more money from us. When we got to our room there was a dead cockroach on the floor and within the first 5 minutes the power went off for a while, without explanation, before suddenly coming back on. The place advertises it has wireless in all the rooms which is not true - it s only in the reception area. We found a better place down the road for half the price and decided to stay there the second night and told the lady on the first night that we were going to change. When we checked out the next day the lady was very impolite.
Zhang Jie Fei 2009-02-28	Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad good hotel, nice rooms, close to pier & 7-11 supermarkert.
Florence Ahlouche 2009-02-19	Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad The hotel is conveniently located next to the Pier, so I was able to walk to the hotel. The staff was very kind and the room was clean and spacious. I would definitively go back to this hotel again.	Quick and efficient.
Sten Wahlstrom 2009-02-18	Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Not good Detta var det samsta hotellet pa var resa. Elen stangdes av varje dag, detta var ett kant problem for detta hotellet. Aven vattnet tog slut varje dag. Boka nagot annat.
N.M 2009-01-31	Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Very clean and spacious room. The only place we stayed where our room was cleaned daily. Friendly staff. Lots of bars, restaurants and shops nearby as well as scuba diving centres. Short cab ride away from Sai Ree.	Easy service to use and quick replies from hotels letting you know if there is availability.
Thomas M. Scaglione 2008-12-29	Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad The hotel is very close to the pier. Unless you have alot of luggage, dont let the taxi drivers con you into them driving you because you can just walk out of the building at the pier and turn right and it is a couple minute walk. The hotel itself is basic, but clean. The a/c worked and the water eventually got hot. The best part of the hotel is the ownership (European owned) and mngmt. I felt they were very honest and you will feel at home there. Honestly the best place to be on the island is Sairee beach, but I have no complaints about this hotel.
jamieson john rae 2008-12-18	Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad stayed 4 days at this wonderfully clean and fresh hotel, and can warmly recommend this hotel to couples as well as families who wish to visit koh tao. and it is true there hamburgers were the best on the island!!
Eva-Lena Nilsson 2008-12-15	Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Ca 3 minuters promenad från färjan. Bodde i lägenhet på bottenplan. 2 rum och kök och skjutdörrar till stranduteplats. Riktigt mysigt. Gick att bada där även om vi inte gjorde det eftersom det kändes lite väl nära hamnen. Här kan vi tänka oss att bo igen.	Kanonbra precis som vanligt.
Chidchanok 2008-05-19 until 2008-05-21	Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad The over all is good compare with the money i paid. Its clean and comfortable. But the time of checking out is too fast at 11.00 a.m.	convenience and fast
Frank Mehmke 2008-03-14 until 2008-03-17	Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Hotel: simple but very clean rooms; steep staircase. 5 min. south of pier. You can walk in 5 min. Would recommend to book Deluxe Room or take a suite across the street for a higher budget. Rel. quiet at night considering it s in Mae Had. The owner and the young female receptionist are so nice. Very personal, very helpful, friendly and the smile while serving the breakfast is the best start for the day. 20 - 25 min. walk to Sairee Beach. snorkel tour around island starts at Mae Had. If you want to stay at Mae Had the Hotel is a good choice. Frank	Worked perfect, as usual
emma pettersson 2008-02-02 until 2008-02-08	Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Very simple standard. Mostly clean. People working there were very uncharming. There are rooms by the beach as pictured at their website but we got one on the other side of the road without any sea view. Not worth the money.
Michael 2008-01-12 until 2008-01-16	Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Very friendly staff. Standard rooms are not at the beach, but at the building behind. Too bad for us, we got a room on the first floor with cockroach s every night.	Simple and easy
Anette Lindblad 2008-01-07 until 2008-01-10	Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad It was a nice litle hotel with good service and very nice owners.	The service was very good.Wery nice people.
Monika Isaksson 2007-12-24 until 2007-12-29	Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Fantastic value for money.We had a familysuit with a rooftop terrace and the apartment was even better than it looked on the pictures. Clean and perfect, and the highlight of our stay on Koh Tao. The island itself didn´t live up to our expectations, mostly because of the traffic-noise from mopeds, cars and longtailboats that makes you feel like your in Bangkok rather than on a remote paradise-island . Even though Utopia is situatad at the end of the village and right on the beach there is no tranquility. Taxi-drivers rip you off to take you to a beach on the other side of the island and most of the interesting parts of the coastline are covered with private bungalows and resorts and that makes it less fun to go kajaking or walking. Koh Tao could have been paradise if there had been some planning and respect for nature and peoples needs for a peaceful and healthy surrounding, but now it isn´t.	Fine, no problem.
Jørgen Roger Bach 2007-07-29 until 2007-08-07	Koh Tao-Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Stayed at guesthouse at Utopia Suites. The location is great, the restaurant among the best on the island and overall the service at Utopia is very very good. The rooms at the guesthouse are among the more expensive on Koh Tao, but you get great service and location for that price and I thought the hotel was definately worth the price. I would recommend Utopia to anyone not on a backpacker-budget and stay there again if/when I return to Koh Tao.
Jan Andersen 2007-03-15 until 2007-03-21	Koh Tao-Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Nice and cosy hotel with a friendly atmosphere. Very clean and spacious rooms.Small restaurant serving good thai-/western food - including excellent burgers and smashing steaks.	Very efficient
tanya 2007-02-07 until 2007-02-10	Koh Tao-Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Very nice and clean. Nice bathroom. It is located at the port where you dock from Koh Phan Ngan. 10minute walk from Sairee beach. If your interested in diving best to stay on Sairee beach.	Fantastic. Very reliable. Had no problems at all.
Timo Lei 2007-01-29 until 2007-02-01	Koh Tao-Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Good value for money if you are not looking a pool and fancy stuff. The receiption and everything is very helpful. Close to the pier, food, nightlife. Walking distance to Sairee beach. The beach is not nice as close to the pier, but ok if you only want to get some sun tan. Worth trying.	not a single prob. very efficient
Anton Sokolov 2006-12-24 until 2006-12-27	Koh Tao-Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad It s Very comfortable location of Utopia Suites near central streets. Amazing sea-view from rooms and louisiana or balcony with everyday cleaned piece of the beach at your disposal. Staff made everything on their best and helped us in some questions very much. We liked everything.	excellent
Neil 2006-12-22 until 2006-12-30	Koh Tao-Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Myself and my Italian girlfriend stayed at Utopia Suites over the Christmas period 2006/7. Fantastic place to stay!! The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Rooms cleaned every day and most with air conditioning, TV and minibar. Comfortably close to the centre, a short walk from the boat pier but far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet. Next door there is an extremely honest, helpful taxi driver who helped us out heaps, try him out, he wont rip you off. If you ve yet to book in Koh Tao try the Utopia Suites you wont be dissapointed!!	No problem here either.
Penny Johnstone 2006-08-22 until 2006-08-23	Koh Tao-Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Hotel was fine, it was old but very clean. Downside was the airconditioner was only in the bedroom and we had a 1 bedroom unit. It is just a room though, not a resort. I would recommend you don t stay here unless you are here purely for the diving and will be going out all the time. It is on the port beach where all the boats come in and is really not a very nice beach. But it is great if you are just going diving.	We had no problems, excellent service. Would definitely use it again.
Lili Bergström 2006-06-17 until 2006-06-24	Koh Tao-Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad We stayed at the Utopia Apartments beachfront and it was perfect for us (3 persons). Friendly staff and very clean. Good location in Koh Tao near to everything.	100% OK. We always use Sawadee.
John Griffiths 2006-04-29 until 2006-04-30	Koh Tao-Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Very good basic facilities. Clean room and bedding. Effective shower. Nice friendly staff. Convenient yet quiet location - walking distance from the ferry but in a quiet part of town. Recommended for short stays 1-2 nights	efficient as always
Gina Dubois 2006-02-22 until 2006-02-24	Koh Tao-Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Traveling on a modest budget can sometimes lead to less than desirable accommodation. This was fortunately not the case at Utopia’s hotel. Most points of interest are no further than a walk away. The rooms are new and spotless. I can do without the air conditioning or TV but for me a room without creepy crawlies is a must. The food and music in the bar/restaurant was excellent; the staff friendly and helpful. If you are planning to visit Koh Tao without a fortune to spend, you can’t go wrong here.	efficient and effortless
John Kobbes 2006-01-16 until 2006-01-19	Koh Tao-Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Two thumbs up….. Very clean & comfortable….This is not a 5 star hotel but if you want, you can have all the amenities of home incl. a stereo system with MP3/DVD player. After seeing our apartment, our friends moved from a noisy Sairee Beach into one of the more spacious deluxe apartments where an extra bed was provided for their kids. The staff could not have been more accommodating. They even arranged a gas BBQ for a cook out on our friend’s veranda overlooking the bay. During the winter season at high tide, the beach is rather small like elsewhere on Mea Haad + Sairee. The restaurant is cozy and serves surprisingly good steaks and excellent Thai food. The burgers are amazing! There was a bit of a wait for the food but if you are a fan of blues, jazz or world music you won’t mind. A refreshing change from the “house” beats elsewhere. This was our 3rd trip to Koh Tao; for us, Utopia offered the best accommodation thus far. Great location & excellent value.	painless and efficient
Aleks 2005-12-18 until 2005-12-21	Koh Tao-Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad quite disappointing. Even the room was clean, the service personnel/owner/holders of the hotel unfriendly and stingy. E.g. they tried to charged us for not used mini-bar (you have drinken colas from mini-bar - nonsense!!!), not accepted credit card for room payment & asked to pay cash or 6% more amount, etc. There is actually even no beach in front of the hotel - only scruffy and untidy stripe of sand. Noise of the neighbouring pub at night can be quite disturbing. I would never come to that UTOPIA -place again. There are many really nice and romantic bungallows/hotels around in Koh Tao (at Sairee beach), which are much better place to stay at.
John Setchell 2005-04-22 until 2005-06-04	Koh Tao-Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Great stay, spacious accommodation. We got a very good deal for a long term stay, air con was a must as it was very hot for first few weeks. Only drag was electric bill be prepared!! All in all very good value for money.	very good service from sawadee
Garth Stewart 2004-06-19 until 2004-06-21	Koh Tao-Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad Utopia Suites were very conveniently situated within 100 metres of the ferry terminal and the other diving boats. We appreciated the spaciousness of the apartments and the way they were designed to make full use of the cooling breezes.	The internet booking service was easy to use and very efficient
