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

We stayed here in a fan room for 350 baht per night! Single beds and a huge towel instead of a blanket or sheet! Owner very nice and helpful! The room had ants and they came and sprayed to kill them! The room was small and beds uncomfy but for thay money it was do-able! The bungalows did look nice... 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

I cannot fault Sairee Cottage and Sairee Cottage Diving. We had an amazing time, and I would recommend staying here and diving to everyone. I have written a separate diving review. The accommodation was very basic, but just what we needed. Such a bargain, too, at 400 Baht a night. Our hut was situated behind the dive centre, where it... More

I went diving for the first time over three weeks ago, and I'm still on cloud nine! It was unbelievable, and I can't recommend this company more. If you want a personalized, professional, beyond fun, safe and unforgettable experience, look no further! It was my second time on Koh Tao, and I know how difficult it can be finding a... More

We booked two cottages at this resort in conjunction with a diving course at Sairee for three in our group (see separate review for the diving). Our 'hut' was absolute beach front and the other set back a bit in the resort. Can't fault either for the price. Our beach hut/cottage was OB4 and had a beautiful view of the... More
