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!

It exceeded my expectations. Lovely and comfortable stay. The resort had a wide setup, and is more like a little village with four pools, fitness, various housing areas and beautiful gardens allround. The first part is located near the beach and you cross a little street to get to the upper part where we stayed. As a result we had great views over the ocean and enjoyed nice sunsets. Room itself was spacious clean, great bed, quiet, very nice. Although it is in the hillside, this was not problem since they offer transport via golf carts, amazing and fun for our daughter. Pools were very nice, and the beach as well. Lovely restaurant, breakfast included offered great choice and a terrace overlooking the beach. The food in the evening was good as well. Just lovely sitting with your feet in the sand while kids play in the ocean. Great sunsets. Nearby a lot of shops and restaurants, dining in the beach. For this price we had a lovely stay. Highly recommended. Don't forget to do a snorkel tour.

Good location and nice pools.

Bans is the biggest hotel on the island with the biggest diving resort in the area. The staff are nice and welcoming. I booked a dorm room and upon arrival upgraded to a private room. Because this is a diving resort there are basic rooms that the diving course participants pay discounted fees for basic rooms. The shower is above the toilet in this type of room, the beds were comfy and there is AC. I upgraded to the better room, in a different area, quiter and newer building. This room was like a very nice western hotel room with all amenities, separate shower and lovely views. I extended my stay there and had a great time. The hotel has 5 pools and is located in a great place on the island. Would recommend Ban's
