Black Tip Dive Resort are located in quiet and relaxed Aow Tanote on the east side of the island. In Tanote Bay, renowned for its snorkeling, you will be able to spot some of our usual residents: turtles, parrot fish, Blue Spotted Stingrays, Jenkins Whip Rays, butterfly fish, scorpion fish, file fish and of course the Black Tip Reef Sharks, for which our resort is named.
Away from the crowds, with a relaxed, unspoiled beach, it is renowned by snorkelers and divers for its abundance of marine life and clear visibility. We have several types of bungalows available and all rooms come with hot water, western toilet and 24 hour electricity.

About the hotel:
The Black Tip Dive resort is good choice ONLY for a divers. If you are not keen on diving you have to run during the check inn. The service is realy poor. We moved to the city after one night and nobody asked us why. The resort is at the jungle, even not soil route goes there. The dogs where live at this resort had a better service then guests.

About the hotel:
The cabins/ bungalows up on the hillside were perfect (except we had a rat problem but the staff gave us sticky pads). The restaurant is interesting - it says Black Tip, but we could not charge stuff to our room. Being far from the city was nice, and the taxi ride in is handy (very bumpy road - be prepared).
About the reservation service:
No problems.

About the hotel:
If you re coming to scuba dive at Koh Tao, this is a good place to stay. The dive staff was very friendly and the dives were great. Our bungalow and the property left more to be desired. Though nicely designed, we had ants and a large spider in the bathroom and a rat. Our friends next door had rats...for which the hotel staff provided sticky traps but did not offer a move. It is the tropics but scratching all night long and rat poo on the floor...yuck. The garbage around the property is not also managed well and incomplete construction sites (obviously unattended for quite some time) greet you upon arrival. Past that, Black Tip is secluded. It s Tanote Bay is beautiful and offers good snorkeling.
About the reservation service:
The booking service was quick and easy. I ll use it again if ever I return.

About the hotel:
Black Tip hat was fantastic place for me and my boyfriend. I suggest it for thoes who are looking for quiet place far from crowds and tourists. A road is not that good and easi to accessable, but they offer frequent taxi service to centre. we stayed there 2 nights and i think that during thoes dayes you can just relax at beach, enjoy snorkeling or diving and there is no need to go to centre. for thoese who like adventure I suggest rent a bike and chalange your selfe and reach this hotel ourselves. beach is clean, bungalow was very good and staff was great. I suggest definitely this hotel to explore the island, learn to dive and lot more. for me location was perfect however it is far from centre and shops. if you want enjoy nightlife, shopping, eat outside hotel you might choose other hotel. For us that was perfect

About the hotel:
Nice enough place to stay. I was looking for quiet, warm water, and good snorkeling. Even though this is the quietest island in the area, and Black Tip is on the far side of the island from the port, I was looking for something even more pristine/remote. Snorkeling/ocean was OK, but not great (I went to Sail Rock, etc., a number of places). No direct view from the rooms of the ocean, but very close. Everything on the island is expensive, bring food, etc. with you if you can.

About the hotel:
Great position and good restaurant. Staff very helpful and cheerful. Free wifi and water. Rooms fine but set in jungle so unable to sit on patio without mossies. Wonderful snorkelling straight off the beach. Road to resort is unmade and quite an experience!

About the hotel:
Tanote is 5km away from Mae Haad.The journey to Tanote is an adventure(miserable street).The Black Tip is directly located on the beach.The bungalows are all located in a jungle.Tanote is the best place in Koh Tao for snorkeling (directly from the beach).Problem is, Tanote is a very isolated place (for trips to other bays,it was only possible to order Longtail-boats from Mae Haad (very expensive).For this reason,we finished after 3 nights our stay in the Black Tip and we moved to the Sunset Buri Hotel on the Sairee Beach (very good decision).
