Jamahkiri Resort & Spa

Jamahkiri Resort & Spa

8/10 Good
"Pro’s: Great room with Amazing ocean view, nice bed and clean room. Nice pool and very friendly staff. Great place to snorkel just below hotel (saw several turtles) and also great place to kayak or paddle board (which hotel rents out) Con’s: NOT for someone with walking issue/knee issue. Stairs, stairs, everywhere. Was fine for us but I’d never take my parents there. About 400 steps from reception to water. It’s very OFF location. Taxis charge 4-500 during day and 5-800 during night. There’s a free shuttle which is great, but latest 6.30 so if you want to eat or have drink in village not an option. Jacuzzi in room was nice and big, but looked old and half the jets weren’t working. Side note: Restaurant just above hotel, Eagle View, is amazing. "

When is the most affordable time to visit Koh Tao?
The most affordable time to visit Koh Tao is typically during the low or shoulder seasons, which fall between May to June and September to October. During these months, you'll generally find lower prices on accommodation, flights, and even some activities, as the island sees fewer tourists.

For solo travellers, this period offers a more relaxed atmosphere, with fewer crowds at popular diving spots and beaches. You might discover better deals on dive packages, and it's often easier to secure last-minute bookings for guesthouses or bungalows without paying peak season premiums. The weather during these times is generally pleasant, with occasional rain showers that usually pass quickly, leaving plenty of sunshine for exploring.

The monsoon season, from November to December, also offers lower prices, but the trade-off is often very wet weather and choppier seas, which can impact diving and boat trips.
