Ban's Diving Resort

There was construction outside our window and our only view. The bed was very uncomfortable.

Vi fick ett rum, Hilltop med Seawiew vilket stämde bra! Bra utflykter och missa inte Tanote Bay eller Freedom Bay.

Trevligt hotell, lite för centralt med högt ljud från disco på kvällarna

Allt var super, trevliga rum, fint område, jättebra pool vid jungle house. Personalen var supertrevliga, ligger centralt och nära till allt!

I did enjoy staying here but just a few things to know if you’re booking with them! A: if you get a Mountain View room, it’s actually on top of a GIGANTIC hill and up a ton of stairs. They do provide golf cart service to get up and down but it’s not super reliable so be willing to exercise! Lol. Also, the AC did not work super well in my room so be aware that it might be hot. Also, this is a jungle type environment so there’s lots of ants everywhere! They didn’t bother me too much but I wouldn’t keep any food in the room. Other than that it was an enjoyable stay and I did enjoy the diving lessons as well. Get to breakfast early if you don’t want it to be packed. Enjoy your trip!

I’m not that fussy but it’s

Værelset er høj klasse. Morgenmad høj klasse. Infrastruktur på hotel høj klasse. Personale høj klasse.

Das Perfekte Hotel für einen Aufenthalt in Ko Tao.

Big resort, good breakfast, good service, a bit worn down

Superhärligt boende mitt i hjärtat av Koh Tao med supergullig personal. Vi bodde nära stranden vilket var jätteskönt. Frukosten var god med mycket alternativ. Vi bokade snorklingtur genom hotellet och var supernöjda. Dock ganska högljudd på kvällarna då vi bodde nära stranden och också nära alla barer. Bor man högre upp på resorten kanske det är lugnare, men då också längre ifrån strand och uppförsbacke hem.

Everything was well organized, cleans and the staff were great

Rena och jätte fina rum. Super mysig trädgård runt boende och bra frukost.

Beautiful resort, excellent breakfast, great accommodations in a deluxe room. The major drawback is that rooms close to the beach suffer from noise from the beach including loud music and crowds talking loudly until 2:30 am every night. Try to book a room away from the beach. There is a steep hill but the resort will drive you up and down the hill in their golf carts. The resort is truly beautiful with crystal clear pools and is nicely located in that it is close to great restaurants. The resort restaurant is right on the beach and sunsets are spectacular every evening.

Die Unterkunft ansich ist super schön und auch recht zentral gelegen. Unser Zimmer, war zwar etwas abseits, den Berg hinauf aber man hatte einen gratis Shuttle in Form eines Golfcarts, dass man jederzeit rufen konnte.

El alojamiento no se parece nada a las fotos. Cogimos una habitación para tres personas , que había que te tenían que subir para poder acceder a ella en un carrito. Tuvimos unas vecinas que gritaban toda la noche y se escuchaba perfectamente desde la habitación. El desayuno muy regular con comida poco apetecible. Personal bastante antipático. El día de salida nos ofrecieron un transporte gratuito para el puerto , y muy mal organizado. La gente muy nerviosa , porque al final tienes que llegar en tu horario, tienen que ir y venir varias veces, y bastante desagradables. La escuela de buceo igual, muy antipáticos. La habitaciones que están en la parte de abajo tienen mucho ruido con música en directo hasta tarde. Nada recomendable .

I liked it, the room was very nice and comfortable, and the garden & grounds were nice. I paid a LOT - $400/n for the room though and I don’t think it was worth it. Deluxe garden rooms are right next to a night club with drum & bass blaring until 2am - so keep that in mind. Next time I think I’ll stay in Ban’s hotel which has a very nice pool away from nightclub. Breakfast is crazy between 9-10, go early if you want to relax.

We spent six nights and were happy with the hotel and location. We went on several excursions to nearby beaches. Freedom Beach is beautiful. Aow Leuk is wonderful for snorkelling. The hotel’s best pool is the one highest up, furthest from the main road (infinity pool/bar). A golf cart service is available and free if you don’t want to walk uphill. On Sundays and Mondays, you risk that all ATMs are out of cash — withdrawing on Friday (preferably) or Saturday is recommended. The hotel’s garden was a pleasant surprise.

We love Ban's. We always stay here when on Tao. Great rooms, pools, staff and service

Breakfast every morning was a disaster.

The bed is comfortable, and the swimming pool is sufficient. The view from the room is also beautiful, but it comes at a price. If you don’t want to walk back to your room, you have to take the hotel’s golf cart. If the service quality is also poor, it feels even less worthwhile. If you’re looking to stay closer to the beach, this hotel is not recommended. The room rates are not cheap, and the service is not up to standard.
