Diving is a major reason to visit: Koh Tao has more than 25 dive sites, including Chumphon Pinnacle, White Rock and the HTMS Sattakut wreck, and the resort offers lessons. Long-tail boats from Sairee or Mae Haad reach Nangyuan Island (3.8 km), whose three small islets are joined by sandbars. For snorkelling, Ao Hin Wong (1.2 km) is on the east coast; that coast is generally calmer from April to October, while Sairee and the west coast tend to be calmer from November to March. February to April is usually the driest, calmest stretch, while November is the roughest month.
Guests often praise the helpful staff and the sea and sunset views from rooms and balconies. Some find the steep hillside difficult to walk, and feedback notes a small shared pool with few sunbeds. The American buffet is appreciated by some, though others find its choices limited.
