1.Great location, good room, bad luck with the instructor PADI
We stayed in room no fan included with the signature for the PADI Open Water. The first room they gave us a key was a bit 'run-down, with a screen window is not very close. When we asked for another room, we were politely shown into a room that is at the base, but surprisingly clean and fresh with just a fan. I would recommend trying to find a corner room to get the wind to blow through. We were really happy with our room, especially considering the price!
The cleaning staff and staff in the Thai dive shop were very helpful throughout our stay. The restaurant seemed mediocre and quite expensive compared to other restaurants in the range of background. The place was beautiful, a little 'isolated from the bustle of the background, but only 5-10 minutes walk from the action.
We went to the course with an open mind, excited. However, this type of course is the hit-or-miss according to the master, and ours was a big gap. Our instructor did not, Jackson has had the patience to learn new divers. With a student-teacher ratio of 6-1 was a little 'fear of seeing my first dive with an instructor who has not had time to explain the steps in doing something right in the middle of the Ocean. After the first dive, my girlfriend started to feel quite dizzy on the ship, to the point of not being able to open his eyes. Jackson's verbal response was: "Oh, you must have had too many buckets last night." When I said he would stay on the boat with my girlfriend sick, rather than continue with the second dive, it's pretty condescending.
We lost 2 to 4 dives, but the day after we have completed our part of academic courses. When you try the last 3 dives again, we certainly do not go with a smaller institution with a teacher smaller and less students per instructor pompous.
So, to summarize: the course OW is a great value if you get a good teacher.

2.Coral Grand - Mixed Bag
A bit 'of a mixed bag this lot.
The crew of the boat is very useful and is the leader Jonas, plus some others. But some other members of staff, including vice-ministers are so arrogant.
The boats they use are also very old and in a good state of repair of equipment of poor quality. I remember, watching the other boats in the harbor, seemed to be the norm in Koh Tao. The dive staff were allowed to smoke on board, what they did, like all the chain smokers - quite disgusting, especially when they were often the only personnel on board who smoked. Surely they could ban smoking on board - the trips are only about 4 hours.

3.Average stay
I stayed in bed & breakfast near the dive shop. This is partly because I wanted Internet in the room and was the only room that provided it. In addition, housing was another great and a little 'over-estimated, taking into account other nearby stations. I do not mind really cheap accommodation - has been crucial, but it was very cheap and fucntional too, so I got what I paid.
But the restaurant does not have a good menu and had no chance of vegetables for lunch. More staff were completely useless here. Also, I saw many guests staying in rooms expensive Wheeling luggae their top and bottom of the resort. Why not take the staff out of station - service very poor, considering the price paid for the rooms (about U.S. $ 80/90 per night).

4.Very overpriced very old! And do not use the draft, if you want to live! "
I lived in Thailand for 7 years and I've never seen so much old Resort. We booked 2 nights in the network and we paid 4850 baht per night for a Deluxe Pirate Cottage. What a mistake. From my experience in Thailand, I'd say 1000 baht is the same. We also their diving on Pentecost. An error of more. We dived repeatedly. We've reached the end of the boat we met the dive master, who would plunge us Pentecost, hi was very arrogant and sad by the laws of Thailand, we have to do things exactly as you said if you don 'did not have hi would annul' immersion. We went under water and after 15 minutes of sand, has signed to go to the surface and we did. Hi said he received a panic attack and we must go back to the boat where we have a new Dive Master. Easy on the pills mate. And we paid the full cost of the case. So if you want a bra Whit dangerous dive and stay in some old premium xxxx Koh Tao Coral Grand Resort is the place and remember to bring your portfolio to choose the taxi is charging up to 300 baht to drive 1.5 km. En joy. ooh and you can not see the bottom of the pool is dirty.

5.Flies, fly, fly
Thai owned and managed hotel that is gradually ruined. Real need of renewal. That said, great site, helpful staff, eccentric and basically OK. However, their restaurant is seriously invaded by flies and nothing is being done to combat the problem (ceiling fans, etc.) We were forced to eat their meals on the porch or anywhere else. Nowhere else in the city seemed to have a serious problem. The hotel is also a diving center and food on the ship, diving was the worst we experienced during a day of diving all over the world in Thailand ... and we live here! Dive Crew great, no problem, but the restaurant has real problems
