Ban's Diving Resort

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.

pool Villa2 房很大，床也很舒適，不過有點舊，熱水供應不太穩定，要開最大才能保持水溫。泳池很棒， 沒有太多人用的關係水也很乾淨。房間景色很美， 可以俯瞰整個sairee beach的景色。 不過由於住在山頂的關係每次走上去都有點吃力，免費接送的哥爾夫球車到八點便沒有了， 回去得晚的話便需要自行步行上山。 而且回房間的樓梯斜度大約有45度，需要小心行走， 尤其在雨後 ，如果有老人家的話不適合住在這裏 。下山還好，上山的路的確有一點陡峭，當是吃完飯做做運動倒是不錯的。 如果來這裏潛水的話他的配套是很好的， 有各樣的課程選擇， 要參與fun dive的話也很方便， 到樓下報個名就行了， 潛完又可以直接回房間。 附近有很多餐廳便利店吃和買都很方便呢， 7-11旁那間餐廳尤其好吃而且很便宜，推薦豬腳飯。 走遠一點前往Sairee beach的中心也只需要十分鐘，十分便利。

潜水工厂。都是过去上潜水课程的。带着爸妈一起去，想顺便fun dive。结果根本没人搭理你。（估计fun dive不赚钱，人家教课都来不及）最后给爸妈报了一个浮潜和逛南园岛的半日游。和老公去SSI体验了一下freediving。吃个早餐要翻山越岭。一身汗。订的是比较好的房间，但是采光不好，很阴暗。第二天下午洗澡一半的时候，竟然整层停电。打了无数电话催促，磨磨唧唧半天才弄好。都晚上了。顺便提一下：如果学OW、AOW这些课程还是找其他家吧。这家一个教练恨不得带10个学生。我和老公之前都是1对2这样学的。这种流水线的潜水员~~~好不好只有自己知道！

Nice to star resort. A lot of walking if your room is on other side of road.

This hotel has everything you could need. There are multiple pools, the rooms are generously sized, and the breakfast has many options including freshly cooked omelettes and pancakes (though can be extremely busy at times). You can cut across the front road and straight on to the beach. The staff are also extremely helpful. When we realised we would not have enough time to make our flight back from Koh Samui with the ferry option we had chosen, Siri at Reception called Bangkok Airways for us to see if we could alter flights. The only thing we didn't like was our room was close to the beach and there was loud music until late every night that came into our room so suggest booking a room higher up the hill if you are a light sleeper. Also there are mosquitos.

Het was prima, maar erg groot en gehorig

The deluxe hilltop room view was amazing, and far enough from beach noise to sleep peacefully. The staff was very helpful, The restaurant food was wonderful and some of the best available. The dive shop and diving staff made staying at Bans the best trip to Koh Tao ever.

We stayed in two different rooms - the Jungle House, which was lovely and private but too hot, and another room on the main property that was very cool and conveniently located.

Helt ok suite

Our stay at Ban's was overall good, but with some inconvieniences. Starting with what we liked, the location was the best. Right in the middle of everything and walking distance for most things. We easily got around on foot and moped. The staff was helpful as well, and we appreciated the on-site convienece stores. The grounds were very pretty too. Breakfast was lovely, with a view of the beach as well. The things we disliked were the walls being very thin. Like extremely. We stayed far from the reception area, which meant quieter nights, but we could still hear our neighbors. Second, the pool was green. Like very green - the whole week. We tried to swim the first day but it didn't feel safe. The bathroom also had a bad sewage-y odor, and the water gor everywhere when showering. Not terrible, we kept the door closed for the smell, but unpleasant to be in there. Last, there were ants in the room and a few bugs. It's hard to control when in a tropical enviroment, but not very pleasant. Overall, a good stay but a few improvements would have made it great.

The staff were very helpful. There was an issue with our first room and they moved us to another promptly.

Best experience and best time getting open water certified

The hotel’s location is excellent and one of its biggest advantages. However, there are a few important things future guests should know before booking. The property is quite large, and some rooms are located very far from the reception and main facilities, requiring a golf cart to get around. I was fortunate to be moved to a room near the reception, but that came with another issue. Because of the hotel’s location, many guests return late from nearby nightlife, and there was significant noise almost every night between midnight and 2:00 AM. In addition, the walls are extremely thin. I could clearly hear conversations, televisions, and even when the couple next door were having sex. The lack of sound insulation made it very difficult to relax or get a good night’s sleep. The room itself was comfortable, nicely decorated, and well maintained. The shower was excellent, and housekeeping kept the room clean every day. I used one of the three swimming pools, which was clean and pleasant. However, it only had four sun loungers, so finding a place to sit was often difficult. Overall, the hotel has a great location and comfortable rooms, but your experience will depend heavily on the room you are assigned. I strongly recommend requesting a quiet room away from both the reception and the nightlife.

Wir hatten einen wirklich tollen Aufenthalt im Ban‘s Diving Resort. Die Anlage ist wunderschön, absolut gepflegt und hat durch die dichte, grüne Bepflanzung einen richtig tollen, leichten Urwald-Charakter – man fühlt sich sofort wie im Paradies. Alles war super sauber und das Personal durchweg hilfsbereit und freundlich. Auch die Lage ist top: Man ist superschnell im Geschehen und hat jede Menge Bars und Läden direkt in der Nähe, sodass abends nie Langeweile aufkommt. Zwei kleine Dinge sollte man jedoch im Hinterkopf behalten: Das tägliche Workout: Die Anlage ist wunderschön, aber man muss ganz schön Hügel laufen! Wer hier Urlaub macht, kann das Beintraining im Fitnessstudio getrost ausfallen lassen – die Waden werden es euch danken! 😜 Für die Taucher: Es wäre das absolute Tüpfelchen auf dem i, wenn es direkt an der Basis eine Aufbewahrungsmöglichkeit für die Tauchausrüstung geben würde. Das würde das Taucherleben vor Ort noch ein Stück entspannter machen. Fazit: Eine absolute Empfehlung für alle, die eine grüne Oase suchen und gut zu Fuß sind. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

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.

Fin & trevlig frukostbuffé, väldigt bakigt område med reception närmst havet. Sådär standard, lite smuts i hörnen. Många av poolerna var fulla av dykare, hade varit skönt med någon pool utan dykarlektioner. Men väldigt trevligt läge, taxi service & STORT område.

Perfekte Lage, alles in der Nähe. Super Restaurants. Schöner Strand. Sehr leckeres Frühstück. Nachts kann es laut sein, aber nicht sehr lange. Es halt immer irgendwo was los. Große Zimmer mit bequemen Bett.

Fin øy

De fleste bassengene ble brukt til dykke opplæring
