Assava Dive Resort

我們住了海濱別墅和雙床園景，房子內部整體空間不大，有點小，設施比較簡陋。海濱別墅佈局不合理，但是度假村的海濱和整體環境很好，服務人員也非常友好，是濤島安靜的一個度假村，很適合躺平，下次來濤島還會考慮選擇這裏。設施特別齊全，有秋千，吊牀，孩子玩的開心，孩子和他們工作人員相處很愉快。

I moved to Assava from the sister company of Ban's Diving Resort. This location is much further off the beaten path than the more touristy area near Ban's. The diving trips had much less people and were much more catered to doing diving courses, which was great for me. All the staff were fantastic when it came to adjusting the dive sites to cater for the courses I was completing. So much so that after finishing my Rescue Diver course, I tacked on the Advanced Open Water course, nitrox course and shipwreck diver course. All of which was extremely easy to organise compared to trying to set up even a recreational dive with other companies on Koh Tao. This would be the number 1 place I would recommend anyone get any and all dive certifications. However if you are intending to go anywhere from this location around the island, there is a scooter rental 100m from the hotel. - Room size/layout - ⭐️⭐️ - Small room with 2 double beds next to each other - Cleanliness - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Cleaned daily by housekeeping - Maintenance - ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Clearly an older build with expected wear and tear - Bed - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Firm but comfortable - Pillows - ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Flat and lacking support - Shower - ⭐️⭐️⭐️- Small room w/toilet in the shower.
