Holidaying on Koh Tao

The charming island of Koh Tao, just north of Samui, provides a perfect holiday destination. Fortunately this wonderful island boasts one of the area’s finest villa resorts. The superb Charm Churee Villa is located within a short distance of Jansom Bay, one of the island’s most stunning private beach areas on Koh Tao’s south western edge.

Unfortunately there are still many people not taking the time doing some decent research before they book their holiday to Thailand. Picking accommodation out of a brochure might often result in disappointment. The described facilities in certain brochures are in reality often not that great as promised and this may completely ruin your much deserved holiday. You’ll benefit from doing good research and exploring Koh Tao is truly rewarding. Koh Tao travel guide

The most convenient means of reaching Koh Tao is by flying to the large and popular island of Koh Samui. You should then take a boat from Samui sailing to Koh Tao. Getting to the Charm Churee is rather easy as a water taxi will pick up visitors transporting them to the private small beach.

Booking one of the accommodation facility’s Sunset Villas is highly recommendable. These guest units are very spacious featuring a huge bathroom and dressing room. The balcony offers a magnificent sea view along with privacy. The rooms aren’t fully facilitated with all the devices such as DVD players and HD televisions but who comes to a tropical island destination for these features anyway? The guestrooms do not have telephones so it might be handy bringing your mobile phone along.

The factors making Charm Churee Villa the most ideal hotel on this island are the laid-back atmosphere, the fine beach with its friendly bar, and the restaurant’s mouth-watering cuisine. Serving the ordered dishes might sometimes take a while but the wait is definitely worth it! Guests may also enjoy lunch at the beach bar, serving outstanding seafood. The town can be reached within a 15-minute walk and represents several reasonably priced eateries as well.

The Charm Churee’s spa facility is really excellent. Actually it is perhaps the island’s sole spa. The treatments take place in tiny Thai huts and arranging a revitalising massage is very easy.

The only downsides at the Charm Churee are the tricky paths, boulders and steps, guests have to tackle in order to reach their villa. However, this shouldn’t be a problem for physically fit and young tourists but it may be quite difficult and frustrating for disabled persons. Positioned way farther uphill are the cheaper accommodation units.

The beach is gorgeous and the waters house plenty of fish. The hotel provides snorkelling equipment but you are recommended to bring your own along. Anchored just off the coast, two bamboo rafts offer relaxation. Swimming in the ocean gives you the feeling moving around in an aquarium.

Dive Point attracts many scuba divers while also popular is making the trip aboard the hotel’s long-tail boat to Koh Nang Yuang, boasting a fantastic beach along with great snorkelling options.

Some of the Charm Churee’s extremely friendly and helpful staff members are Burmese. The Charm Churee Villa is undoubtedly the best accommodation facility holidaymakers will find on Koh Tao.
