From guests who stayed
What divers say about staying here
Having the pool, restaurant and boat all in the same place is such a brilliant setup. Woke up, had breakfast, walked 50 metres to the boat. That's it. No stress at all.

The private room was worth every baht. After two dives a day I needed proper rest. Quiet, clean, AC that actually worked. I'd book it again without thinking.

I was nervous travelling solo but the dorm put me in touch with other divers straight away. We ended up doing our Advanced courses together the following week.

Common questions
Accommodation FAQ
Do I have to book a diving course to stay here?+
We focus on Dive & Stay packages because that's the experience we do best โ everything in one place. If you're not diving, Koh Tao has plenty of great options for standalone accommodation. Message us and we'll be honest about whether we're the right fit.
How early can I check in / how late can I check out?+
Standard check-in is 2 PM and check-out is 11 AM. If your course starts early on arrival day, we'll sort out early access to gear storage and the facilities. Message us when you book and we'll make it work.
Is the resort right on the beach?+
Yes โ we're in Chalok Bay, south Koh Tao. The pool and restaurant are beachfront, and our boat leaves from the sand in front of the resort. No pier, no transfers, no morning chaos.
What's the difference between the dorm and the private room?+
The dorm is shared (mixed), social, and the most affordable way to do the package. The private room has AC, is just for you (or you and your travel partner), and gives you more space to rest between dives. Both have the same access to pool, restaurant, kayaks, and beach volleyball.
Can two people share a private room?+
Yes. If you're travelling as a couple or with a friend both doing the course, the private room package covers the room for both of you. Message us to confirm the exact pricing for two.
What if I want to extend my stay after the course?+
Easy โ just let us know. Subject to availability we can extend your room for extra nights. Many students do their Open Water and then stay on for the Advanced course right after.
