Where to start...my friends stayed at Buddha View some good few years ago and so I booked a couple of nights here based on their recommendations. When I arrived, I was taken to my room by a grumpy British guy who had obviously overstayed on the island and lost any interest in offering customer service. Whatever, it didn't ruin my... More

This rating is for the resort side of Buddha View. Well, I completed both my Padi and my advance there, with a 6 months gap in between. I can only recommend the diving there as it is excellent. It's a bit of a huge facility feel sometimes but the instructors maintained a very personal approach to their teaching, which makes... More

i arrived here here with my boyfriend and two friends after travelling from chiang mai on 2 overnight buses, as you can imagine we were all very tired as by the time we got here it was about 12pm, we were greeted by a french man at the main reception who seemed ok at first, he asked us whether or...

the french man who worked at the resort was very unhelpful and tried to make us stay in the resort just up along the beach as he said there was no rooms left even though we had booked with them a week in advance, in the end we had to get our travel agent provider to speak to the french... More

I just completed the Open Water PADI Certified Diver course and I can honestly recommend Buddha View Dive School. The instructors are professional and very thorough. They actually care about every student and want you to succeed and be safe in the water. The equipment is also well maintained. Bring 2,000 baht (approx $35USD) more if you want to buy... More

I came to Buddha View for the dive school and was not the least bit disappointed in that experience. In fact, I loved every minute of it. But I'm not here to talk about the dive school. I was offered free accommodations because I signed up for a four day dive course. However, I decided to upgrade to the "deluxe"... More

We stayed in a delux room after roughing it for one night in the basic accomodations. Thank goodness we switched. Loved diving with Buddha view. I agree with others, that the beach was really tiny and unsuable. Also the party atmosphere was loud. But if you are there to party then you wouldn't mind this. So not a great place... More

Right from the start, we had issues with this place. They had messed up our booking and told us that there were other rooms available, although not the ones we booked. My fiancée and I took an air-conditioned sea view room. Despite the room being all the way at the end of the corridor and close to the sea, there... More

**Note: This review is for the Buddha View accommodation, not the dive couse. I have posted a separate review of the dive course in the tour category** Of course, we chose to stay here because we were diving with Buddha View and the amazing Ricardo! We opted for the nicer deluxe rooms, so I can't speak to the quality of... More
