The pools are amazing. Large upper pool for swimming laps. Views and the convenience was great for first few days in Koh Tao. The Factory restaurant next door great for healthy and some gluten free food.

We stayed 3 nights at Ban's, easy access to the beach and lots of restaurants and massage. Rental bike is also available. Our room is clean and the bed is comfortable. Breakfast with beautiful see view, and menu change slightly everyday. The only is that there is no shower curtain to prevent splash water. Overall it is very good.

Overall a great stay and value for money. Super central, room was definitely renovated and looked way better than on the pictures. Bathroom was brand new. Only downside tje mattress was way too hard, and I like hard mattresses. Pick up service from the harbor, restaurant at the beach. All walking distance. Still a 5 out of 5

Band diving resort is an amazing property with great service and facilities and awesome dive shop. The resort is enormous and some areas are so far away you need to get golf carts to get around. They basically have people driving these carts back and forth picking up and dropping off people. Like I had booked the jungle house room.. one cannot just walk there you need to request transport. I stayed in the building overlooking pool 3 right under where the gym is. These rooms can be a bit noisy with the meatheads dropping weights. It was very quiet and pleasant once the gym closed. I really enjoyed my stay there. AmazIng property

Terrible staff - rooms alright

We stayed at their hotel for 5 nights in total and i must say, we were not happy with the staff.. Upon arrival we were met with a receptionist who seemed like he didn’t wan’t to be there, a room with small insects covering the tea station. The staff in the restaurant were giving us looks and generally looked at us like we were stupid which made us very uncomfortable. The rooms were alright considering the price but the staff needs to be re-mannered. We do not recommend staying here if you are looking for friendly staff or great service, you are not getting that here.

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.

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.

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.

Ett fint & fräscht hotell med bra läge. Dock backigt & långt till vissa rum. Kolla upp det om du har problem med att gå, dock kan man få skjuts av golfbil. Mycket lyhört hotell & vi hade gäng som festade till 04 på morgonen, man kunde heller inte

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.

Sjarmerende resort

Jeg hadde noen netter her i april 25. Resortet er som en egen landsby, helt enormt stort! Jeg koste meg veldig. Det var egne små biler som kjørte deg til og fra rommet. Jeg for min del bodde nok litt for langt unna stranden og folkelivet, men det hadde sin sjarm det også. Jeg hadde bilene like utenfor rommet mitt, praktisk. Jeg vil absolutt anbefale dette resortet.

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.

Perfekt hotel hvis du vil dykke på Ko Tao

Fantastisk sted hvis du vil lære at dykke og tage et PADI certifikat. Baan har uddannet 300.000 Padi dykkere igennem årene, så de har styr på det. Vi boede oppe af bjerget i Hill view og blevet kørt frem og tilbage i golfvogne når vi havde behov for det - fin service. Deres morgenmads, middag og bar restaurant har den flotteste udsigt over stranden og solnedgang om aftenen. Til Morgenmaden kan du selv bestille forskellige former for æg og pandekager. Live musik og fest hverdag som heldigvis ikke generer på værelserne. De hentede os da vi ankom på havnen og de afleverede os da vi skulle videre. Kan anbefales og så er solnedgangen imponerende

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

Sommes-nous toujours au pays du sourire?

C’est dommage, sur un séjour de 40 jours en Thaïlande, c’est le seul hôtel où les employés semblent tellement désabusés… on ne réussit pas à avoir un sourire… voir même ils nous ignorent quand on les salut. Le resto déjeuner, délicieux, vue magnifiques mais ambiance gâchée par l’attitude du personnel, on semble les déranger et on n’a pas été habitué à ce genre d’accueil froid en Thailande.

Ich war 5 Nächte als Alleinreisende in einem Hiltop Bungalow in ban's Diving Resort. Die Lage und Anbindung an die Tauchgänge ist mehr als hervorragend! Zu bemängeln ist jedoch die Sauberkeit des Bungalows.. Von dreckigen Löffeln, über eine schimmelige Dusche, bis hin zu gelben Flecken auf der Bettdecke war alles dabei. Das Personal wirkte oft mehr als lustlos, beim Tragen meines Gepäcks wurde ich mehrmals aufgefordert zu helfen. Alles in allem war es in Ordnung, ich würde jedoch nicht noch einmal dort übernachten.

Idéal pour la plongée et la fête !

L'hôtel est parfaitement situé si vous vous rendez sur koh tao pour la plongée ou la fête. L'emplacement est idéal pour ça, mais très éloigné du côté plus sauvage de Koh Tao. L'hôtel est très grand, un village sur l'île ! Il est traversé par des grandes routes. C'est un peu l'usine parfois, mais on y trouve de tout, et on ne manque de rien. Le restaurant est plutôt bon, le petit dej est bon, la chambre est spacieuse et confortable. Il y a plusieurs piscines mais la plupart sont utilisées par le centre de plongée de l'hôtel.

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.
