We had a lovely cottage (SR12) and a great stay here! The place is just outside the busy centre of Sairee Beach. Only the staff in the restaurant isn't very friendly and the food here isn't great, a bit simple. But it's OK and it's a chill hangout. The dive school is very professional and price worthy!

Accommodation at Sairee Cottage is good, the room has all the basic necessities that I need for a stay of 10 days. It costs 800 baht per night with double bed, hot shower and air-conditioned. The manager and his team are very approachable and helpful ! I did my Open Water Course with Sairee Cottage Dive Centre. They are very... More

You have to eat here, amazing BBQ from 6pm and incredible value at 120 baht for a plate of fantastic BBQ that will not leave you hungry. Also the happy hour from 5-8pm provides the best value large changs I found in any restaurant at 60 baht a bottle.

I stayed 4 days and did the dive class. Awesome team, super fun energy, and great overall course! Ill definitely be going back for my next course this month! Awesome prices. Beautiful waters. The cottages are okay.. A bit toasty if you stay in the ones with no ac.. But cheap price. Located right on the beach in the heart... More

I recently did my open water dive course at sairee cottage and couldn't recommend them more highly. The staff are great and know their stuff, but they are also like a family in their interactions with each other, which makes for a great atmosphere. The small group sizes makes the diving, as you're not a number and we quite often... More

I was so annoyed with this place as the beach huts were amazing and the place could have been a great stay however the staff were horrendous. They charged us for a scuba course and then as the doctors and clinics were all closed because of the Thai new year (7 days) we couldn't do the course - the instructor... More

We do not find this review particularly fair. The reviewers came to the resort and signed up for a diving course. After ascertaining they both had Asthma, our instructor asked them to visit the doctor to get clearance as all asthmatics are. During the Thai new-year festival every business shuts down on this island, we had no other customers except... More

We stayed at Sairee Cottage in April 2013 with our 2 children ages 4 & 7. We stayed in a family bungalow which was perfect for us. Just the right size & super close to the beach! The room was clean & the air-con is a must have! Wifi is available at the restaurant & reception but this is only... More
