Description

Hin Wong Apartments Dive & Snorkel Resort is a 3-star resort in Tanote Bay & Ao Leuk, Koh Tao, with self-catering apartments overlooking the sea. The accommodation includes a studio, apartments in several sizes and a family room, with kitchens equipped with a stovetop, refrigerator and kitchenware. Many rooms have balconies or terraces with sea and mountain views. Each room has an evaporative air cooler rather than air conditioning, and Koh Tao centre is 3.2 km away.

Snorkelling, canoeing and fishing are among the activities, and masks and life jackets are available to hire. The resort also has a terrace, shuttle service, laundry, room service and free private parking; WiFi is free in the rooms. An on-site restaurant is part of the resort, though service may be unavailable in the low season. Its east-coast setting suits you if you want sea access away from the busier west-coast settlements, although reaching town involves steep roads. The resort is non-party, and noise must be kept low.

Hin Wong Bay is on Koh Tao’s steep east coast, where rocky coves and coral-rich water contrast with the island’s busier west-coast villages. The resort is in the Tanote Bay & Ao Leuk stretch, and Koh Tao centre is 3.2 km away. Ao Hin Wong is 250 m away, Top of the rock is 700 m away, and Mao Bay - Ao Mamuang is 1.2 km away. The east coast has fewer shops and everyday services than Mae Haad and Sairee; there is no ATM or 7-Eleven, and dining is mainly at resort restaurants.

Koh Tao has no airport; ferries arrive at Mae Haad Pier on the west coast. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 3.2 km from the resort, and island pickup-truck taxis connect the pier with the east-coast coves. Roads down to Hin Wong, Tanote Bay and Ao Leuk are steep, so take care if travelling by scooter. Taxi boats also connect coastal bays. The resort has a shuttle service and free private parking on site.

Stairs or a ladder lead to the sea for snorkelling, and masks and life jackets are available to hire at the resort. The east coast is generally the calmer side from April to October; rougher Gulf conditions from November into winter can disrupt ferries. Ao Tanote Beach is 1.9 km away, Laem Thian 1.7 km, and Coconut Viewpoint 1.4 km. Diving is a major Koh Tao activity, with more than 25 dive sites around the island; whale sharks are most often seen from March to May and September to October.
