I called it a “luxury hostel”, amazing mattress, blanket… super nice hang out area with many cozy places to sit and chill… the best local recommendations for all the things to do in Ko Tao… the owners are absolutely lovely… and somehow the hostel attracts other like-minded travellers who are into sports and nature… (and not super young and only partying)… best place I’ve stayed at in Thailand!

10/10 for location: on the pier with easy access to ferries diving shops and the boats for daytrips I liked both the common area and dorms and ended up extending my stay You can either book diving(SSI) through hostel or with one of the many diving shops nearby. Most things are within walking distance, but was still quiet enough at night. Only some noise from the many boats and ferries during day Free drinking water and boiling water available. You can also pay for breakfast The couple who owns the hostel was really friendly and helpful!

I stayed in the hostel part and had such a good experience with my Open Water, I left the island and came back after 5 days to do my Advanced Open Water while staying in a private room. The facilities were immaculate I felt like a princess in the private room. Beautiful views, gorgeous everything. As a world traveler, it is often difficult to find community abroad. When I come across this in my travels, it is a treasure to behold. Isla Tortuga and the community around and within it, are one of those life-affirming communities. I am so thankful and relieved that people like you all exist. Genuine, good hearted people with a love for adventure, friends and nature. Just wow. I came across Isla Tortuga on a reddit thread randomly on my search for dive schools... and when I saw they also had a hostel connected to it I signed up. Had no idea what I was getting myself into. What a PLEASANT SURPRISE. The people that work at Isla have a special way of making family out of strangers. I feel I have family here. I should've assumed by the name that there would be many Spanish speakers here, but did not put 2 and 2 together xD Even if you don't speak Spanish, just get in the mix with different speaking people. I always felt included even if I was just observing what was happening. There was people here from all corners of the world. This is a treat. The owners of this place are top notch humans. The people that run a business and their character says a lot about a business in its totality. Carlos was super helpful to me in answering all my dumb questions before I even arrived, was very encouraging and caring in his own way. Javier was super organized and helpful with logistics and was a bright light. I felt very taken care of at Isla Tortuga. My teachers were excellent, even though english was not their first language, they spoke great, were both very thorough and highly valued safety.

DaanSolo traveller - 8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 237 reviewsBest Hostel, a bit far from the Main City but you need a scooter anyway so it’s totally fine. Close to really nice beaches, Tanote Beach was my fav. The staff is fantastic and you can have fun nights playing Deisha-Thai-Pool, getting professional bamboo tattoos and have good&cheap cocktails or some weed (or both :D)!! The View is epic, you can see the whole Island and shouldn’t miss it. It’s often booked out (book early!) so there are always many people. Will definitely come back some day!
