to get started.

The view they displayed during booking is exactly the one I got, and it was really beautiful. Their customer service is top notch. They were accommodating with me keeping my luggage at the reception even after my checkout in the afternoon while I Rome about the island the whole after before leaving for my night ferry.

What a place!! Bans are just amazing, will definitely be returning. 5 minute shuttle journey off the ferry, which Bans picks you up from. Bans staff unbelievable, super friendly and also willing to help. Rooms super clean, have everything you need in them. And what can we say about Hampus our diving instructor!!!! Amazing!!!! My girlfriend is petrified of the sea but she wanted to fight her fears a give it a shot and without Hampus she would never of achieved what she did. He was so calm, gave her so much encouragement, made everything so easy and provided her with the best care! She is now an advanced diver! Bans also were so professional when in training and in the water, also providing top quality equipment. Hope to return soon! Thanks again Bans! (Ask for Hampus when booking) 😉

Great location, very good service (called for beach towels and had a knock at the door within 5 minutes with fresh towels). Room is a good size with a good sized balcony. Cleaned really well every day, water, coffee and tea stocked up daily. There are 5 pools at the resort, many taken up by divers but there is a pool that is reserved for sunbathing only which has a good view of the reservoir. Good facilities, breakfast good, very filling and a great selection. Coffee was good too.

“Disappointed with the location of our room”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
- the location: we were EXTREMELY disappointed with the location as we looked at different hotels and we thought that this one was good quality and had a perfect location. However, when we arrived we realised that our room was quite far away from the beach and we needed to be transported all the time by a golf buggy to be able to go down as it was extremely hilly. We felt a bit misled regarding the description of the hotel and our room’s location. We would have never booked the hotel if we knew about this before. - room: the room had a lack of kitchen utilities. Also, free water was provided daily in plastic bottles which wasn’t really eco friendly.
We liked: - the room - the big fridge - they sorted the problem of transport when we needed to go to the room

“Awful wifi”

The WiFi was awful! It worked for about 40 seconds before disconnecting itself. This happened every time we tried to use it. I chose this hotel due to its proximity to the beach, but we were in a room ten minutes up a hill instead. We had a deluxe room but it was under the gym, so we had weights being dropped above us until 10pm!

Disappointing
- • Leisure trip
- • Travelers with friends
- • Stayed 3 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Here we go. Long walk up the hill. Even though we decided not to choose the jungle hilltop rooms but superior rooms. You need a motorbike or call and wait for a golf cart otherwise. You’re a number here since the place is so big. Suitcases weren’t delivered to the room. Called 2 times. Waited for 2 hours and still nothing. We decided to pick them up ourselves on the longs steep hill. Also lied about it, said they tried twice but no answer. Even though they left my friends suitcase in the hallway 2 hours before. And apparently they brought it back to the exact location where we left them going up the hill twice? Right. Staff is horrible, on one or two exceptions. They look unhappy and some are even impatient and rude. Can't speak Thai either since they are Burmese. Balcony was full with big red ants. We decided to chase them away with mosquito DEET, which apparently worked surprisingly well. When my friend was looking at the breakfast options on the main menu the waiter said very aggressively: no more breakfast. Which made us leave the restaurant. He was just looking at the options. We had a room on the top floor with stairs, even though 75% of the building was empty during our stay. Cleaning is inconsistent. Didn’t clean anything. Only replaced the sheets. Sometimes forgot to refill water or coffee too. We rented two bikes with issues that weren't able to go up the more steep mountain roads of koh tao. So we had to walk with the bike on these occasions. Smaller issues: Shower water temp is inconsistent which makes you fine tune the whole time more than enjoying a shower. Bed wasn’t great. And only accessible from one side. So no phone charging options nearby too. All in all. Too many issues in just 3 nights to feel comfortable and welcome. We didn't enjoy our stay.
Great breakfast. Nice place to sit, aside from the staff. Few pools to choose from. Great rooftop restaurant on the complex called Darawan. Reasonably priced.

“Convenient location but no value for money ”

It was very noisy at night both from other guests and Bans restaurant across the path. The staff were pleasant enough however they were not very accommodating when I asked for an umbrella (friends in another room got two in their room) and the maids failed to empty the bins when cleaning the room. Free pick up was provided from the pier but on departure the driver of the cart demanded 50 THB from each of us as we had booked our ferry ticket online despite the lady at reception telling us we didn't need to pay. We refused to pay and boarded the cart.
Convenient location.

We were up in the jungle house, it was basic and far away from the beach. I feel like we paid extra just for the name and didn't really get any benefits. If you aren't doing your PADI save your money and stay somewhere closer to the beach
Nice pool near jungle house and a cute dog that wanders round near the accomadation. Staff were nice and friendly. If you are coming to learn to dive then great
