During the day only fans are running and when it becomes night they turn on the air condition. The room is not getting too cold. The pool is not rather big and sometimes could be occupied by divers.
The diving is great, when it is low tide you may have to walk a bit along the beach.
The dive guides are very good trained and remind you off all the simple things you may forget.
They go to different dive spots and share a schedule at the reception.
Staff in general is very friendly and welcoming. More

  It was amazing! Xavier was a really nice diveinstructor with nice theory lessons as well Thank You Carabao!

  This was my first time diving in Ko Tao. I dived and stayed at the Carabao Dive Center and Resort, a great place with friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms,... read more great food and fair prices! Plus awesome diving! We went to different dive sites for each and every one of the three days I spent there. The dive lead was knowledgeable and with a keen eye for macro stuff. The owner, Khun Noi, joined us on the boat and made sure that all our requests were taken care of in the best manner. I wish I had more than three days to spend on the island, I left with great memories and with a promise to myself to go back as soon as possible...for a longer stay.
Many thanks to Khun Noi for all the help,
See you again soon,
Andrew
