I had a lovely stay at this resort right on the beach. The staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had a pleasant time. While the bungalow was pretty basic and needed some updates, the view was nice, and the location was perfect for long beach walks. Unfortunately, we had some cleanliness issues that dampened our experience, but overall, it was a pretty good value for the money.

This resort has a stunning beach and a helpful reception staff, but unfortunately, the accommodations left much to be desired. The rooms are quite basic and do not live up to the luxury branding, and we found the dining experience to be subpar at times. While the location is great for snorkeling, the lack of air conditioning made our nights uncomfortable. Overall, it's a mixed bag with some beautiful aspects and several drawbacks.

The Royal Resort is a lovely place that truly captures the essence of Koh Tao. Its beachfront location is perfect for relaxation, and I enjoyed the unique bungalows surrounded by nature. The staff, particularly Steve, really made my stay memorable with their welcoming atmosphere. However, the accessibility to the resort can be challenging with limited shuttle times, and I had a frustrating experience with the billing process. Overall, it’s a great spot to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of the island.
