The pools. Rooms up on the hill are very quiet and suggestive, although you have to walk a little, which was fine for us.

The staff at the reception is really helpful. Our diving instructor, Danny, was great to teach everything to our sons to pass the Open Water Junior. He is really safety oriented while keeping the learning fun for the kids. The location of the diving center is central

Koh Tao is beautiful and Ban’s is a very central and convenient place to stay on Sairee beach. I had a hilltop room which was a bit of a walk up the hill but the room was very clean and comfortable with good wifi. I did a diving course at Ban’s, led by Anthony, which was very professional and fun. It is worth enquiring before booking as they offer free accommodation in a basic room should you do the diving course. Ban’s bar, the Fishbowl, is very popular at night. There are many shops and restaurants close by.

“Good value for money, extremely helpful and pleasant staff. Dodgy walk back home at night if alone”

The walk up to the room as I said was 20 minutes from the main reception (which we were informed of when booking so I knew it would be that way) and during the day time it would be totally fine to walk but at night time proper creepy. Luckily I was with my partner so I felt safer than I would if I was alone. Definitely wouldnt be a good idea for a solo traveller or a group of young girls to do the walk to the jungle houses alone - just my own opinion. That aside 0 complaints except that that water in the shower in the bathroom doesnt get warm.
There was a staff member at the pier to pick us up off the boat with our bags, completely unexpected but very much appreciated. Our room was a 15/20 minute walk away from reception and again a member of staff shuttled us up to our room with our bags and carried our bags up to the room, showed us where the pool was and how to use all the facilities in the room. There was always someone around to shuttle us down to the main reception during the day when we wanted to go out. The pool was absolutely beautiful and the room kept spotlessly clean by cleaning staff. Very serene atmosphere around your room and the pool.

“Nice hotel but a bit pricey compared to what they offer”

- • Stayed 1 night

The staff who were suppose to drive you from the main road to your room which can be really far away, are not only unfriendly but extremely rude (all of them except for one who was always polite and nice), they are constantly annoyed because they have to do their jobs and they clearly let you know that they are annoyed. They also don’t clean the rooms properly everyday, they don’t even change or clean the cups and glasses available in the room.
Beautiful resort, swimming pools were great specially the Jungle one were we were staying. Rooms are comfortable and big, there is a fridge, a kettle and tea and coffee for free.

The resort is huge, so walking up and down the hill could be annoying for some people. But for us, as a young couple, no issue at all.
It was the first time we paid a lot more for a hotel in Asia, and there were clear differences! The room was very spatious, the bed was incredibly comfy, it was clean, reception desk great, multiple swimming pools,.... Nothing bad to say! For the price, you can expect this. Breakfast has 8 options which is very nice. Free pickup from the pier, which made check-in a breeze.
