Poseidon Resort
A beach-facing base on Ko Tao, without the resort price tag.
A resort in Ko Tao
Poseidon Resort sits on Ko Tao, one of Thailand's main dive islands in the Gulf of Thailand. It has a private beach area, a sun deck, a garden, a terrace, and two on-site restaurants — enough to spend a full day without leaving the grounds. Rooms start from $73 per night, free parking is included, and an airport shuttle is available. The resort has a rating of 8.0/10 across 313 guest reviews, with location, staff, and value for money the most consistently noted strengths.
Who it's a good fit for
A straightforward beach resort on Ko Tao with two restaurants, a bar, a private beach area, and free parking — practical and reasonably priced for the island.
Best for
- Divers and snorkellers based on Ko Tao
- Couples wanting a beach-facing room with a balcony
- Travellers who want meals on-site without hunting for restaurants
- Budget-conscious guests prioritising location and value
Less suited to
- Travellers expecting a large luxury resort
- Those who prefer fully private bathroom facilities in every room type
Private beach and outdoor spaces
The resort has a private beach area, a sun deck, a patio, a terrace, and a garden. Outdoor furniture is set up across these areas, giving guests several spots to sit depending on the time of day and the sun's position.
Two restaurants and a bar
Two on-site restaurants mean guests have a choice without going off-property. The bar runs a happy hour at an additional charge, and breakfast is available on-site — useful when the first boat or dive departs early.
Garden and courtyard views
Rooms face either the inner courtyard or the garden. Both aspects keep the surroundings green and relatively low-key compared with rooms that face a car park or a main road.
Water sports on the doorstep
Water sports facilities are available on-site at an additional charge. Ko Tao is the most popular dive-training island in Southeast Asia, and the resort's beach access makes it a practical base for that.
