Ban's Diving Resort Koh Tao Reviews

Bans is a well established resort right in the heart of the main town/strip. Located over two sites it has several polls and offers a wide range of rooms/prices. We were located up the hill so was really nice and quiet, but quick a hike to the rooms. Rooms were spacious and well equipped but were getting a bit tired. Air Con wasn’t working well and rooms were very warm. I understand from others around the pool, with was common. The grounds were groomed immaculately and the service was excellent. During the day the Fishbowl offers some tasty and relatively cheap food, overlooking the beach !! This is a dive resort and almost resembled a factory for diving. Bit too over commercial for my liking, so we booked diving through a quieter dive school. All in all, a lovely resort, wonderful staff and service in some stunning grounds. Would recommend if you are wanting a little luxury.

Bans! Been in and out this place throughout the years since 2015 and kept coming back wether I dive or just having a chill trip in koh tao. Bans, was by far MY FAV for many reasons. Location is great, big resorts, i am in love with pool with cafe (behind the lake) and their outdoor shower + amenities! I enjoy my morning dips, my painting session, my coffee and books afternoon. Just this time round, it was just a tad different feelings and experience. Mostly are still great but theres confusion of the room booked and the actual room itself (i reckon website needs to be updated and clearer details) and a minor incident where I have to pay additional 1 night just because the reception didn’t remember that Ive paid which partly my fault for not asking receipt and or prove of payment. Also, Bans used to be having such a great team member in service but ive came across some that’s quite cold and impatient unfortunately this time round unfortunately. sad 😢 and last thing my room floor were sandy meaning the room cleaning isnt that immaculate. Hopefully, next time I go back “home” this feeling was just such indifference and bans will still be me fav.

I stayed hill top deluxe room. View is good but far from beach and walking street. Even hotel provide shuttle service, it was quite inconvenient.

This hotel is great for people trying to dive. If you're looking for rooms right on the beach then there may be better options, but the rooms that they do have are very good and it feels like you're walking up in the forest. The staff are very kind, there are a lot of great restaurants (vegetarian friendly) and it's very close to the night parties. I stayed in the jungle house which is the last set of rooms. They have to call you a golf cart which takes like 2 minutes to get to your room. It's a bit inconvenient, but not a deal breaker. There is a nice infinity pool for every different set of places so it's good and secluded.

Ban’s is one of the biggest diving center in Tao. We had standard room with ac. Everything worked very well, making up the room was daily, if needed. Hotel has many swimming pools, but daily time pools are only for divers. There are laundry (1kg/50baht), restaurant, diving center, motorbike rental, Ban’s shops and everything you need for a diving holiday. Hotel area is HUGE, so be ready to walk if your room is up in the hill. About 15min walk from the harbour.

Great location Very kind stuff- and helpful! The rooms are very simple. Good restaurant!

The location is great. I didn’t like they tried to sold me some additional stuff when I arrived. Also the description of the hotel says it includes the gym but you need to pay extra for it.

Hotel is great and room is quiet and away from the noise of the beach front. Cart service is provided to take guests to and from the Jungle House rooms. Diving was great, but Koh Tao is not the place to have quiet, peaceful dives. Boats are packed. Cheap prices though.

Great diving resort on the beach with effective knowledgeable staff.

Our room was in the jungle house, which was a little.further than I anticipated when booking, but actually turned out to be amazing. Quiet, beautiful location. Spacious room with a wonderful view. Friendly and helpful staff. Close enough to walk to the action around Sairee Beach. They also.provided a shuttle buggy to/from the beach. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent hotel nicely appointed rooms friendly staff

Perfect place to stay in Koh Tao. Nice clean rooms that have everything you need. Great staff and just good all round.

So close sairee beach Gave me upgrade room. U can eat dinner at beach side. They have good amenities and room.

Very good ✨
