So the only reason I went to this resort is because my awesome friend Kunpiya is a dive instructor who taught me how to dive at this resort. You can spend all day snorkeling on the little reef in the bay. We have seen black tip reef shark swim by us.. it was awesome. To get to the hotel, you... more

I loved being on the secluded side of Ko Tao. The beach was lovely, the scuba-diving and snorkeling was perfect and the hammocks all over the property made me never want to leave. The shower water was warm at first and the bungalows are lovely. The biggest complaint was that after a grueling trip on a vomit-filled ferry followed by... more

My girlfriend and I stayed 4 nights in the Black Tip Resort on Koh Tao. And what a great time we had! The hotel is situated in the Tanote Bay, which in my opinion is the nicest bay on the whole island. Went snorkeling and diving and had a great time. Hotel: Nice and clean bungalows. We had a bungalow... more

I took my PADI OW here and I enjoyed every single minute. The hotel is located away from the crowds (pros & cons) with a nice beach. The bungalow was nice and clean - bathroom better than expected (absolutely worth the price). The mattress a little hard, however you are almost asleep before your head hits the pillow after a... more

Just came back from my Thailand Trip. I stayed 8 nights with the black tip divers. The bay itself is very beautiful but there service is terrible! Since they are mostly full booked the year around, they don’t care. So don’t expect a service for your 20 € a knight! Also the dive with them is not well organized. The... more

Do not stay here if you don't intend to dive - we were treated like second class citizens. Our mistake I suppose, but they were still willing to take our money rather than say they were full. We stayed in hut for 600 Baht. Nice view is about the only nice thing. Yeh, 600 Baht is quite cheap, but not... more

We stayed here for 7 days and wanted to chill. You can definately chill here, but it really is a place for divers who have worn themselves out in the day and want an early night. The beach (and some fantastic snorkelling) and actual resort were clean, but the back of it was a bit messy with rubblish and ongoing... more

Let me be very clear. This resort is at the other end of the island; completely isolated on Aow Tanote, and away from the hustle and bustle. While that might be an appealing factor, it definitely wasn't in this case. Imagine being somewhere you're having a horrific experience at yet be entirely dependent on the hotel to transport/feed/accommodate you. This... more

My husband and I and several friends stayed here for 2 nights and 3 days, culminating our 2 week trip to Thailand. Had we known how much we would have loved the resort and Koh Tao, we would have stayed longer, and skipped other aspects of our trip altogether (e.g., Full Moon Party in Koh Phangnan). Our bungalow was clean... more
