Ban's Diving Resort

I did enjoy staying here but just a few things to know if you’re booking with them! A: if you get a Mountain View room, it’s actually on top of a GIGANTIC hill and up a ton of stairs. They do provide golf cart service to get up and down but it’s not super reliable so be willing to exercise! Lol. Also, the AC did not work super well in my room so be aware that it might be hot. Also, this is a jungle type environment so there’s lots of ants everywhere! They didn’t bother me too much but I wouldn’t keep any food in the room. Other than that it was an enjoyable stay and I did enjoy the diving lessons as well. Get to breakfast early if you don’t want it to be packed. Enjoy your trip!

Everything was well organized, cleans and the staff were great

I liked it, the room was very nice and comfortable, and the garden & grounds were nice. I paid a LOT - $400/n for the room though and I don’t think it was worth it. Deluxe garden rooms are right next to a night club with drum & bass blaring until 2am - so keep that in mind. Next time I think I’ll stay in Ban’s hotel which has a very nice pool away from nightclub. Breakfast is crazy between 9-10, go early if you want to relax.

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.
