The staff at Crystal are fantastic, and it's a great place to be if you want to do some diving whilst you're in Koh Tao. The scene was really social and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. But. The beach huts are incredibly basic, so be prepared. The rooms are very small, with a double bed, a fan, and a... More

The diving - excellet. Enough said. The hotel side - When I checked in I received no information, just had to fill out a bunch of paperwork for my dive course. The staff in reception were clueless about even the most basic information. I think they just have the divemasters run reception in their non-teaching time. Some of them were... More

We were lucky to dive with Ivan, a very skilled and layback danish diver. But most of the divemasteres, were young without enough life experience to make any individual decisions (lacking the ability to evaluate the individual situations as they arose). More

Stayed there 1 full week last year. Air con, not always working, while extremely hot. Koh Tao is great location, generally good food and good people. Choose another accommodation at better price. More

Rooms were disgusting. We got stranded here for over a week. because of flooding and tropical storms. Room wasn't even cleaned once. Had dirty damp towel as a bed cover. It was just an absolute nightmare. Worst week of my life by far. Staff terrible. Facilities awful. Diving was average., But the rest of the place ruins the experience. If... More

Beware, the rooms are pretty dire - bathroom leaked, noise coming from the bar was soul destroying when a 7am start was imminent and the windows were grills which didn't feel very safe or secure. The room was 'free' with the course we paid for, so it was a fan room and pretty rubbish. Weren't supplied any loo roll as... More

We came here to do our open water course... Stayed and completed our rescue diving certification with intentions of going back to do our divemasters. (Ten days in all) Let me get it out of the way first that if we had not received free/extremely discounted accommodation, we would never have stayed here. The room was smelly and dirty- lots... More

We were promised a four day diving trip with five star accommodation on the beach and three days diving. Upon arrival we were placed in a pick up truck and taken fifteen minutes away from the actual resort to stay in the worst hotel (if it can even be called a hotel) I have stayed in on all my travels!...
