Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Ban's Diving Resort boasts a central location, steps away from the beach and close to shops and restaurants, making it a convenient base for exploring. Guests appreciate the lovely pool areas, including the relaxing mermaid pool, surrounded by lush greenery; however, some have noted that the pools can get busy with diving courses. Many guests find the standard rooms great, with AC and quick access to the pool. The resort's layout gives a sense of privacy despite its large size.

I received excellent instruction during my PADI open water certification. My instructor Ida ensured we understood the skills. She provided helpful feedback. She also. The location is excellent and very close to shops. The resort is massive. My room had a lovely balcony with a good pool view.

The music from nearby clubs was quite loud until late at night. This made sleeping difficult.
