Ban's Diving Resort

Overall we are very happy. We booked the Garden Standard and it was really okay for the price. Everything you need, clean, even with a balcony, but overall a bit dated. The resort is really big and very well maintained. You can use all the pools. The staff is very friendly. We did Advanced Open Water and Fun Dives - we even saw a whale shark! Thanks again to our instructors Ella, Sam and Henri for a very educational and exciting time!

If there was an option to give more stars I would. First of all the open water diving course is amazing and this was mainly down to our great instructor Hugo! He made us feel safe and went through everything with great detail as this was our first time diving. We loved the open water course so much that we decided to do the Advanced course straight after with the same instructor as it made us feel far more confident and we enjoyed our 5 dives on the Advanced so much. |The resort itself is great even if you decide not to do the diving course. Everything is right on your doorstep literally, there was a pool right outside our room and there is 5 on the whole resort to chose from. Plenty of restaurants, walking distance to seafront to watch the sunset. Shops of site. Staff on the resort work so hard and this is evident. Reception staff are happy to help and very welcoming. Great resort and definitely will be back for sure! Hopefully our instructor Hugo will still be there for another dive.

Did my PADI OW course with Bans Diving, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Our group was small, just four people, which made the training feel more personal and engaging. Sandra, our instructor, was fantastic ,professional, patient, and very knowledgeable. She made sure we felt comfortable and confident at every step of the course. Thanks for an amazing experience!

Really nice resort, I came here to have all in one stay and it does offer all we need for having the blast of time. The food is also good, there are restaurants in between, swimming pools, cafes, the beach near by, the staff and reception are really kind and helpful. I did my Advanced Open Water with Bans diving resort. They are super professional, I had the best instructor Fantille, I have learned a lot and had so much fun. It was five dives, intense and memorable ! Besides, a been super supportive and giving good attention to details, it was a luxury course ! Thank you and to all the team. What a good inspiration of team work you gave to provide the best experience to guests divers and students ! The course took only two days so you can enjoy the island after that and of course the resort which is amazing.

Undertook my open water PADI with BANS and would highly recommend. Sandra was our instructor and was absolutely excellent. The course was very informative and all the staff are lovely. The room are also very clean and tidy, making the rest needed after the dives fantastic.

I had a great experience at Ban’s Diving School with Nina and Victoria! 🤿 Both were super friendly, fun, and made learning easy. Unfortunately, I couldn’t complete the course due to illness, but they were very supportive and provided me with a certification for my completed training. Highly recommended for anyone looking to start diving!

**Review for Bans Diving School - 10 Stars!** I recently had the pleasure of attending Bans Diving School, and I can confidently say it deserves every bit of a 10-star rating! From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and professional. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything needed for a safe and enjoyable diving experience.

He was patient, thorough, and always took the time to ensure that everyone understood the techniques and safety protocols. His enthusiasm for the underwater world was infectious, making every lesson not just educational but also incredibly enjoyable. I feel fortunate to have learned from someone as dedicated as Anthony.

Thank you, Bans Diving School, for an unforgettable journey into the deep blue! Also want to mention how nice the rooms are for the price they are! Restaurant also great food!

Ban's Diving Resort is a massive and impressive property with plenty of amenities. Our room was spacious, clean, and had a lovely view of one of the many pools on the grounds. The resort is so large that they offer a golf cart service to take you to your room, the diving center, or the restaurant, which was very convenient. They also provide a free shuttle service to and from the ferry terminals, which made traveling much easier. Our package included breakfast, but unfortunately, this was the one downside of our stay. The breakfast was disappointing, with the hash browns being overly oily. Overall, Ban's Diving Resort is a good place to stay, with excellent facilities and services, though the breakfast could use some improvement.
