Great location, fabulous bungalow and amazing staff. Dive centre is professional, fun and brilliantly well organised. Can’t recommend them enough. I did 2 specialty courses and 14 fun dives and loved every moment

Staff was hit and miss. Very limited breakfast selection. Pool was unusable a lot of the time due to dive courses. The diving was ok. But had probably 15 different dive masters. Some great. Some not so much

Property in need of updating. This could be a really great place as it has so much potential. The pool sunbeds are so heavy you can’t move them and the sunlounger cushions are ripped and dirty. The pool was clean and it is a shame because replacing all the sun lounger cushions and the cushions outside the room on the balcony would make the place feel more looked after instead of shabby. The room was clean and the beds were really comfortable. The shower is not seperate so the whole bathroom gets wet and slippy. Breakfast there was only 3 options to choose from. No breakfast station or options to get up and choose yourself. Location is good.

Cottages were basic but clean and beds were comfortable. The location was fantastic, views were amazing!

Everything was amazing! The cleanliness was on point inside and out of the accomodation and we just absolutely loved our entire stay! Thank you! 😊

Wonderful bungalow, clean, comfortable, cold AC, hot shower, great decks right at the sea. Nice staff.

The room was good value and the resort was lovely. The TV gave us some issues and the wifi was difficult to connect to but overall a great experience! Would stay again.

Did the job. Rooms were clean but very dated. Breakfast choices very limited, especially for vegetarians. All needs updating and upgrading for the price you are paying. Close to beach but beach needed cleaning.

I loved it here, my second time as a solo traveller, I felt safe at all times. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, a few minutes walk to good restaurants, great coffee place, atm and shops. Everything you need for a relaxing time, I would recommend.

went diving in Koh Tao, Thailand through Assava Dive Resort. Beautiful accommodations and right off the ocean. Felt like paradise. I signed up for my open-water scuba diving PADI course with Steven Crane. An amazing teacher and explained everything. He removed the fear and hesitation I had about diving. I felt completely safe under his hands and he was with me for every dive. I loved it so much that I signed up for the advanced PADI open water course, and did ten dives with Steve. Brilliant experience and profound when I swam with a whale shark.

Great spot with friendly staff.

We are a mom-daughter duo from the US. A great stay. The bungalows are older but clean. Bed very comfortable and AC works very well (this is important due to the heat). Restaurant serves delicious food (all meals) as well as great views. The dive shop on site is super convenient with a lot of great excursion offerings. We look forward to coming back to Assava again for future diving classes and programs. The hotel offers free shuttle to and from the pier as well as motor bike rentals. The resort is also walking distance to the beautiful Shark Bay where snorkeling was absolutely fantastic (sea turtles!!) Staff friendly and kind.

Beachfront resort with spacious, comfortable rooms. The food at its restaurant is excellent, and there are several other good options nearby. A highlight is the area with view to the bay, where I used to eat and relax in the evenings. The swimming pool is also nice, albeit sometimes shared with diving classes.

Room was very comfortable, AC worked well, wifi was good. Restaurant food was ok, I enjoyed the restaurants down the street better. There's a 7-11 and a pharmacy down the road along with 2 ATMs. Lots of restaurants in the street. I stayed 8 nights and went diving 6 days. Great instructors and divemasters. Located in a quieter area compared to Sai Ri Beach and I much prefer it. Diving was in small groups (3-18 people?) as opposed to crazy large groups (looked like 30-50 people?) at Sai Ri Beach. I liked the personable atmosphere where you get to know everyone you are diving with and you also get to know your divemasters. I would definitely go back.

This was one of our favourite stays while in Thailand for 3 weeks. We stayed in quaint, rustic bungalows. Very picturesque setting, located in beautiful bay. Great little restaurant & bar on site has great food and drink, very reasonable but if you want something else there are places within walking distance. We did intro dive with the resort dive operation - a superb experience - well worth considering if you are staying there. You don't have to be a diver to enjoy this resort. Staff is great. If time was our own we would have extended our stay. Highly recommend for people who don't make a habit of looking for where to assign demerit points - its not perfect but it is beautiful.

The main focus here is diving. Not food, drink or the rooms. We stayed at probably the best chalet (by the beach) and it was small, basic and the a/c couldn't keep up with the modest heat. We had to pay for an upgrade as the "delux" chalet was a cupboard. Unfortunately, if you stay at a dive resort, they're nearly all like this

Great place . I can’t say enough good things . The staff was awesome. location perfect . Awesome dive instructors . Amazing value

Very friendly and helpful staff. Dive masters and instructors were very patient and kind. Will return here on the next trip!

Had a lovely stay at this resort in a beachside deluxe bungalow which was beautiful, right next to the sea. Area is quiet as I wanted but plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. My only complaint would be that you only get to choose one thing off the breakfast menu, meaning you can’t have fruit and egg or egg and toast with jam, I have been travelling for nearly a month now and this is the only time I have found this.

Nice location. Good Dive facilities and personnel. Hotel Service was not quite as friendly by Thai standards. Rooms were adequate for the price.
