We had a terrible experience with bans. First we arrived at the harbor and we didn't see anyone to welcome us, when they were supposed to have someone waiting for us... so we took a taxi. When we arrived we complained about it and all the person at the reception could do is scoll at us! the accomodations is nothing... More

My boyfriend chose this resort as a surprise Christmas present for me. He was mainly looking at PADI schools and destinations that had great reputation and Ban´s came up on the list.

We're not the young, full moon party type so we wanted a quality learning experience. Diving is so much fun, but only when it's safe so we did a lot of research before arriving on the island....

After arriving on the island I looked around a few diving resorts. Ban's was definetly the obvious choice. Great facilitys including a/c classrooms, two pools and well maintained dive gear. Dive boats were very comfortable. Completing the open water course our instructor Santi added a good balance of learning and entertainment... even when he does laugh underwater at you after... More
