The Viewpoint Resort met all our expectations and more. It is beautifully located in the middle of nature, you feel as though you are staying in the jungle ( note bring insect repellent) 
We were warmly welcomed with refreshing lemongrass tea and cooled face towels. Due to lack of availability at the time of booking we couldn’t book the same room for the full length of our stay which meant changing room three times! However, the VP staff made the transfers stress free and we concluded that it had given us an opportunity to see three different types of rooms all were stunning. Our first room was a sea view cottage with a balcony looking out to sea. Our second, Pool Villa 2 was breath taking. To sit in our own pool over looking the ocean watching the sunset was priceless. Breakfast is delivered to your room ( or you can choose to eat in the restaurant). Our final room was deluxe beachfront bungalow which was extremely spacious and had a view of the sea and small beach below. Would be ideal for a family as the seating area is huge. 
 Other details: although VP is a little isolated in terms of location, they arrange pick up and drop off from the pier which is super convenient and complimentary taxi service is offered on certain days/times to Sairee beach. Outside of these days there is a small charge. Day trips, onward travel etc can be arranged at reception.  We had booked a dining experience at The Gallery Restaurant ( see separate review ) and the hotel transport dropped us off which worked well however their pick up stops at 9.30 so you’ll need to arrange your own transport after this time. 
The Cape restaurant setting is beautiful , right on the water, food and service  is excellent as is the breakfast offering - wide selection plus omelettes, waffles and pancakes cooked to order. The resort is spotlessly clean and staff are visible everywhere ensuring that this is maintained.  
All the staff we encountered were extremely polite, friendly and helpful. 
Just a small word of warning - the nearest beach is Chalok Bay which has some great restaurants and a great chilled vibe however the walk to get there is not without its hazards and IMO is certainly not suitable for children or those with impaired mobilty. you can however get a taxi there /back for 400 BHT each way.  
The whole resort is set on different levels which adds to the whole aesthetic but would be a challenge for children or those with mobility issues.
Our time at VP was extremely memorable and we would love to return.

Memorable stay at idyllic location

We just loved this Hotel. I spend a lot of time deciding before reserving Hotels and no regrets here!!! We had 2 seaview rooms. The view from our room ( 08 )was awesome. Will probably go back to this Hotel for the views. Seaview rooms not huge but comfy and cozy and  adequatly big  for a short stay. 
The small beach is just dreamy, we loved it. 
Restaurant Top, great choice of Thai and european food . The personnel at the restaurant are wonderful, a special thanks to "Tata" and her husband. Wonderful people. 
The reception team efficient .
We rented scooters through the reception from,a local rental shop. We recieved them rapidly but the helmets were crap and keep an eye on the petrol level as our friends ran out almost immediatly, luckily we were 2 couples. As mentioned by others, the roads are steep  , but some are dangerous once you leave the main roads. 
We went to Tanote beach, no problem but 1 km from Mango bay we turned back as the road got more and more narrow and frankly dangerous.
The only drawback of this Hotel would be for people with mobility problems as everything is on different levels without elevator and also avoid the Hotel if you have small children , OMG, no way!! Otherwise don't hesitate, absolutly fabulous!!

Magic!!

The hotel is in an amazing location with stunning views. The Villas are amazingly appointed and if you like a villa with jungle vibes this one is deffo for you… there is no real beach but the pool area is nice for relaxing but you need to travel if you want the beach experience. We had a slight issue with first night dinner but they really made efforts to recover that which was much appreciated. 

Wasn’t impressed with the breakfast at all, dinner food was on the whole excellent but the breakfast buffet is poor. Also the fact they charge 200baht and 50baht to rent snorkelling equipment felt a little cheap to me, why charge when other hotels don’t? A deposit I understand but feels cheeky. 

Overall if you like that outdoor vibe with a villa this is a good hotel, if you don’t like insects or crabs steer clear!

Jungle Experience

This was my second visit to Koh Tao, and being a bit longer I thought I would treat myself a bit. I booked a Beach View Deluxe room, which could sleep at least 4 - I think they advertise 3. It was very spacious, HUGE comfy bed looking straight out over the balcony to the beach and the sea. Two of these rooms are higher up, one is lower so consider this when booking. I was higher up and would sleep with the doors open being lulled by the gentle waves on the shore and sometimes a cooling breeze.

The room was excellent - very spacious, plenty of storage, great bathroom with rain shower, big balcony and lots of amenities like dressing gowns, lots of towels for the bathroom and pool / beach, toiletries etc. Fridge, safe, hairdryer.

The resort is at the end of a winding up and down road, BUT it is very well surfaced and well lit - just watch out for monitor lizards and falling coconuts!

The pool is lovely - clean and seems well balanced. The sun does go off that area around 15:30, but by then you will welcome some respite from the sun. And the view is amazing.

Food is very good with an extensive western and Thai menu. Room service very fast and good, but table service is worth it for the views and the ambiance.

Breakfast is just great. Egg station with freshly made pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs. omelettes all cooked to order. I wide selection of cereals, pastries, cooked items like mushrooms, beans, tomatoes, potatoes etc.

Part way through my trip I switched to a Garden View Room as the Beach View had already been booked. This was much cosier, but had a lovely vibe. These are in "the jungle" so you will get more visitors, and with the bathroom being semi-outdoor some might find this off-putting, but I liked it. You are supplied with mosquito repelling coils which work. Just be prepared that you may have squirrels, lizards and geckos running over the outside roof in the night. All adds to the amazing stay.

The star are great - very helpful, happy and smiley and always welcoming.

The site is on a steep slope - as it most of Koh Tao - but there was lots of help to move luggage. If your room is at the top, prepare for a hike down (and back up) for breakfast. If your room is at the bottom, prepare for a hike back up to reception - although one can walk around the beach to get to bars on the other side of the beach.

A really lovely and peaceful resort, not too far from the main Sairee Beach area which is easily accessible my moped or taxi.

I would happily stay there again.

Excellent location, great service and food. Peaceful

Lobby is cool, but the rest of the hotel is pretty disappointing for a 3 star hotel. The hotel pool looks dated, and our room smelled like mildew and looked a little dark and dingy. There was also a stain on one of the throw pillows on the bed. Our AC was also not really working and we had to call in someone to fix it multiple times. Location is also not the most convenient, as it is on a very steep hill and you always need to call a taxi and we felt wary renting the scooters. The location does give it really nice views and we really enjoyed the views coming and going from the hotel -- probably the only redeeming quality of this place. We would not stay here again. 

Not what we expected

Koh Tao is a true hidden gem in Thailand. Travel by ferry or speedboat. Shuttle to the Hotel is on the back of a bakkie. Truly interesting. 
The hotel is beautiful. The staff supper friendly. The kids stayed in the garden view rooms. Which were quite comfortable. We stayed in a pool view villa. It was unbelievable. Super comfortable. Clean and the most Beautiful view.  The bathroom is to die for. 
Room service was awesome and efficient.

A view of Paradise in Thailand

Beautiful Resort to relax and discover island with the scooter - we enjoyed the quietness and walked to 2x viewpoints nearby and to one beach - there are a lot of stairs and shadow in the evening at pool - snorkeling was good direct at Hotel and shark bay with turtle and shark was 10 min with scooter…

Relaxing Resort to discover island

Overall, this is a lovely resort, very quiet and peaceful with unsurpassed views of Chalok Ban. The staff were friendly and helpful and the pool was quite nice: clean water and amazing spot. There isn't really much of a beach, it's more an entry point if you want to go in the water. 

While the peace of Chalok Ban is a treat to find on Koh Tao (unlike Sairee, which will have disco music blasting until midnight), the View Point is pretty isolated and it was a bit of a pain to have to take a taxi every time I wanted to venture out. The hotel does provide taxi service, tho they charge a per person/per ride fee. The road in and out of View Point are also very steep and windy, so I opted out of renting a motorbike (maybe some more adventurous would be up for this but make sure the bike has enough cc's to make it up the hills). 

The only other issue was temperature control in the rooms. I was in a Deluxe Seaview, which had an AC wall unit + a fan. The AC had no regulation so it was either full blast or off, nothing in-between. It also seemed to be broken so I couldn't turn it off. I informed the front desk and they "fixed" it, which meant that they disabled it so it didn't work at all. I made due with the fan but it was toasty. It would be a great addition to the rooms if they could install screen doors on the sliding windows that go to the balcony. I would've loved to have the ocean sound & breeze but too many mosquitos to keep the door open without a screen. 

The breakfast was nice, nothing fancy but definitely a good variety of options. 

Lovely stay at View Point

Spent 4 nights in this resort. The place is simply amazing. Took a garden view cottage and it feels like living in a middle of a jungle (in the best possible way). Despite the jungle around us we didn't encounter that many insects and bugs and could sleep very well. The staff are the kindest people and provided all the services we needed right away. Breakfast was very rich. Would definitely stay there once again when visiting Koh Tao.

Had a wonderful time

I made a Surprise for my boyfriend and I booked a poolvilla 5. Everything was perfect! The Place, the room, the staff and the restaurant. A special thank to Lorena, to replied to my several emails. To the Chef, to made gluten free pancakes for breakfast, and to the rest of the staff, for the kindness and attention in all Little things! You made perfect our stay! Thank you
