Montalay Eco- Cottage  

On Koh Tao’s secluded eastern shore at Ao Tanote, this beachfront cottage is steps from Tanode Bay and Ao Tanote Beach and within easy reach of Sairee Beach and the picture‑postcard Ko Nang Yuan. Walking distance to the town center and close to Thong Sala, Haad Rin Mae Nam and Nathon piers, it’s a family-friendly base for snorkeling, diving, and laid-back island life.

Small to medium size and neighbours-free, rooms, cottages and suites sit tucked among trees and just meters from the sand — perfect for couples or families who want to chill. The property has about 10 guestrooms with daily housekeeping, in-room safes, bottled water and bathrooms fitted with showers and bidets for simple comfort.

Dive clubs and guided tours are on-site for easy access to snorkeling and diving; swim in an outdoor pool or unwind in the sauna and massage room. There’s a barbecue area and bar, complimentary Wi‑Fi, free self-parking, luggage storage, laundry service and a safe-deposit box — wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and plan excursions right at the tour desk.

Montalay Dining serves local cuisine and beachside bites, with a bar/lounge for drinks. Buffet breakfasts are available daily from 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM for a fee, making it easy to fuel up before a day of snorkeling or island hopping.
