You can get a free transfer to and from the pier which is super helpful. The hotel is massive and the restaurant breakfast/ food was really nice. It is in a great Location and there is lots to do round it. The hotel restaurant also has entertainment in the evening and the bands were really great. The views are in incredible from the pool near the gym. No pressure if you don’t want to do the diving.

Well the grounds are really exceptional. What a view from our hilltop room! Watch out for the mosquitoes. Lots of food options. We had some good dives, especially Sail Rock. I recommend a scooter rental if you stay up on the hill. We had a hard time Rea hing the operator and the folf art shuttle at times

La première chambre que nous avons eu était infestée de fourmis. On nous a déplacé dans une deuxième chambre. Celle-ci n'avait pas d'insectes mais au bout de 3 jours une forte odeur d'égoût se dégageait de la salle de bains. Nous avons été déçus de notre séjour. Le buffet déjeuner était bien et il y avait beaucoup de choix. Les piscines du complexe sont biens. L'endroit est bien situé. Près du centre mais assez calme le soir pour pouvoir se reposer. L'écolde de plongée est bien. Nous avons fait notre Open water et avons aimé l'expérience.

I have never felt more unsafe in a hotel. We booked this hotel for 1 night(thank god) and when we arrived they told us we have booked a jungle resort room which is furthest away from the beach which was fine as they ran a shuttle. We then got in the shuttle which took us over 1km away from the beach and all the facilities in the jungle above all the workers houses. We constantly smelt cooking etc. and there was bags of rubbish just on the paths all over the resort. The bit behind the entrance to our room also had loads of piles of rubbish everywhere. The room was extremely dated and wasn't clean, the shower had marks all over it and their was a drying rack box that was all dirty with random plates and cutlery that has been washed and forgotten to put away. We messaged Expedia to complain about the dirt of the resort and the 1km distance to the beach that we weren't informed of when booking and they phoned the hotel to ask them to sort it. A women arrived at our door banging it down shouting "it's me". When we opened the door she was angry and shouted "what's the problem" we explained about the dirt etc, and she rolled her eyes and said well if you want near the beach then you can go to reception and pay 60-80£ to upgrade. Then started shouting at us saying what do you want us to do? We said it's fine then as it's only 1 night and we are not willing to pay. After this about 20 minutes we heard more banging on our door and shouting and opened it and it was 3 young children.

Ban’s is centrally located in Koh Tao. I liked everything about the experience staying there. Primarily as divers, we loved the convenience of getting on speed boats right in front of the property.

We booked the hilltop view and it was an amazing view of the ocean with a balcony! It was a little bit of a walk up hill every night but it was a great price for the location, view and size of the room. Breakfast was amazing as well. Right on the water with good views and lots of food options. Very central on Sairee Beach.

Overall, I was satisfied with my stay. The people in the reservations room that they direct you towards right away were a little rude and then hid behind a language barrier when asked for clarification. Front desk staff refused to honor a discount on room cost becaus when I signed up for 3 diving certifications “because I booked through Expedia” and then proceeded to charge me full price directly. Giving four stars overall because my diving instructor shout out to Hampus was phenomenal. Giving four stars overall because my diving instructor - shout out to Hampus - was phenomenal; however, if I were to return, I wouldn’t stay here again because there are other potentially more modern options around.
