Black Tip Dive Resort , Koh Tao

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 building works. The restaurant did very good food, but the TV was on all the time and It would have been nice to have a litle music rather than football or Thai soaps.

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 long day of diving :) Lunch and dinner is superb (thai food), took a couple of days before I managed to get a decent breakfast (language problems...). Really nice staff and professional diveteam.
