Save Bungalows, Koh Tao, Mae Haad
These are rather nice bungalows, situated at the southern end of Mae Haad beach, just 15 minutes away from Jansom Bay, where I used to spend my time (snorkeling, swimming). Mae Haad beach is also acceptable (especially if you do not get embarassed by the ships and boats travelling at the sight, a few hundred meters away) for these activities at high tide, till 3 p.m., though. The hotel itself does not provide direct access to the beach, but there are some restaurants on the beach where you can use their services and relax in the sea at the same time. Hotel provides no pool, no breakfasts, but, hey, it is not one of those posh and ridiculously overpriced places too common at Ko Tao, it is more like a guesthouse, but with some hotel-ish peculiarities. I stayed in the bungalow with AC, TV and fridge, and I think that it is well worth the money I paid - it was clean enough, AC worked fine, the bed was okay, too. I know there are guest rooms for a twice as less price almost at the same location, providing the same functionality, but they are close to the road, an it means noise from bikes and cars, so it is up to you to decide. Back to the bungalows, there is a thai style bathroom, and no bathtub, naturally. Bungalows are not very spacious, hold no cabinet or wardrobe, just a bedside-table, so if you used to make your travels with lots of garment and personal items, it is probably not your choice. As for me, I am going to return to this place in my next visit to Ko Tao, most likely.
