This is a review of the hotel and not the diving school. The Coral Grand diving school and its facilities are excellent, but I suggest you stay somewhere else to sleep...

We found that the hotel swimming pool is good and well maintained as is the garden/grounds. However, the accommodation is very tired. The shower barely worked (it stopped if you flushed the toilet), the room air con was noisy, and the general feeling is that buildings and facilities is that they need some maintenance. The maid service is good with fresh bed linen when needed and rooms always left clean. The location is perfect as is straight onto the beach.

We stayed here for 2 nights from New Years day this year. The location of the hotel was excellent, at the Northern end of Sairee beach within easy walking distance of the beach bars but just far enough away so that you arent kept awake all night. The wifi in the hotel did not work and the breakfast was pretty poor. However the beach and pool area were lovely and the hotel offer a free taxi service to the pier which is useful. The room itself was not great, particularly the bathroom, but the onsite dive centre made up for this for me. The staff at the centre were extremely helpul and friendly and I would recommend Coral Grand Divers to anyone diving in Koh Tao. Koh Tao is a beautiful island and i would have loved to be able to stay longer, 2 days was definitely not enough time!

Booked this hotel over the Internet and was a bit worried it would be be a little out of the way but was relieved on arrival that it was perfectly situated at the quieter and more beautiful northern end of Sairee beach. We were met at the ferry pier by the hotel courtesy taxi which was a pleasant surprise as we had not expected this. We had booked a bungalow which was 25 Mtrs from the swimming pool and 50 meters from the beach. Towels and beach beds were free of charge. Service was generally very good and courteous. Breakfast was adequate in the beachfront restaurant. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby very reasonably priced. The bungalows are the best accommodation as the hotel rooms seemed quite small and dark and tucked away at the rear of the resort. Only negative about the bungalows is that in our one was the aircon unit after several hours became very noisy and dropped condensation. We would definately stay here again.
