Ban's Diving Resort

the location is for me one of the best on the island, if you like to be in the center where the heart is beating. shiny happy people, the most active and walkable beach is, with the most beautiful sunset. the restaurant is amazing and the stuff top motivated on every point of …..

Loved everything about Bans, super accommodating and friendly staff who are always happy to help, so many facilities (pool, gym, restaurant with live music, laundry and bike rental), free shuttle to and from ferry port and around the site (the place is huge!) We booked our open water and advanced diving course with Bans and it was such a great experience! The best and one of the oldest established diving companies on the island- Knowledgeable instructors and great diving sites selections. We stayed across 2 rooms, the standard double and the jungle double, both were great but especially enjoyed the jungle double as it had a more private pool and secluded area (+ I got proposed to on Bans). We would highly recommend this place!

Really everything! The resort is just perfect! -the staff was really nice, we booked two different rooms and they upgraded one of the rooms as a gesture. -This is the best location! The resort is connected to the Main Street with tons of options of everything. And also connected to the hotel’s restaurant which is on the beach. -large, clean and quiet rooms with a nearby swimming pool and coffee shop.

Unobtrusive and friendly staff, beautifully maintained gardens and swimming pools. The room was comfy too and included a mini bar, safe and TV. The resort feels like a mini village and the place feels well organized. There are shops, restaurants and massage places within 5 mins walk nearby. Our room was cleaned daily. A nice extra touch was the canvas bag and plastic free bag which we used all the time for carrying our stuff. We stayed in the Plantation building which has a big swimming pool inside. Loved it!

We have stayed at Bans a few times now and it was another great stay. We were in the Jungle Room which is about a 15 min walk from the beach/main office but there a golf carts that run 24/7 so no need to walk if you don't want to. The Jungle Rooms are quiet and comfortable. Cleaning can be done daily if you wish. We had breakfast included which is lovely help yourself buffet with fresh eggs/omelettes/pancakes/cereal/fruit/hot Asian dishes - great for a day of diving etc. Diving with Bans is great. Safe and very organised - they are great at what they do. Great location walk to all the different cafes/bars/restaurants. Choice of rooms to suit all types of visitor. Highly recommend.
