This hotel is amazing. I planned on staying 4 nights and extended my stay to 7 nights when I got there. The resort is clean, very nice, with magnificent view of the ocean and Shark bay (great for off-shore snorkeling). Rooms are spacious, spotless clean and the view is the best you can have - directly on the ocean, with nothing in front - cannot top that! Due to a location on the cliff, the resort isn't in the town, but by scooter, shuttle or taxi it is a quick 10-15min drive to the center. There are also many stairs, but again - cliff position, so it is unavoidable. Staff is very nice. Mr. Nice at the reception desk will make your stay into a dream one, by helping out with every question or request you may have. Breakfast is generous and also the meals at the restaurant are really tasty. The prices are a bit high (also at the pool), but nothing extraordinary. Spa - I went to a Thai massage 2x - first one was AWESOME, but the second one very disappointing, so I guess it depends which therapist you get. If you are a scuba diver or you have always wanted to try - this is the place to do it. I did my Open Water Course here and the instructor and facilities are the best one can get. So, if you decide to do it, ask for Pierre and you will be in the best hands. Overall ... this resort got my hear the first second I have opened the balcony door and heard the ocean, and it has not disappointed.

As I have decided to extend my stay, I changed the rooms (thank you again to Mr. Nice for making this possible) - from king size bed to twin. The mattresses in the twin room would need changing, as they already have dent in the middle from usage. Other than that, everything was great.

This resort is beautiful, with the kindest staff and amazing views. The rooms are a great size, with balcony’s and you get pool towels, the breakfast includes continental and made to order dishes. There is happy hour at the pool bar 5-7, diving facilities on site with a practise pool just for divers only, alongside kayak and snorkel rental by the beach. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay !

N/A, there is nothing we didn’t like, but there is LOTS of stairs.

Everything about this hotel was incredible: - The collection at the ferry - The handling of our bags to the room - The incredible attentive and friendly service from all staff members - The stunning food and drinks - The incredible facilities and views

The walking up and down to get to places within the resort is very tiring but it’s a hillside resort - not much you can do about it

Our recent stay at Jamahkiri Dive Resort in Koh Tao was an experience we will cherish forever. This resort isn't just a place to stay; it's a destination that offers a unique blend of luxury, relaxation, and adventure. The staff at Jamahkiri were the heart and soul of our experience. Their extraordinary friendliness and attentiveness made us feel valued and well-cared for. They seemed to anticipate our needs, adding a personal touch to our stay that was truly exceptional. Dining at the resort's restaurant was a culinary delight. Each meal was more than just tasty; it was a feast for the senses, especially with the picturesque backdrop of Shark Bay enhancing our dining experience. While snorkeling in front of the resort, we were struck by the changes in the underwater world. The once vibrant coral reefs showed signs of environmental impact, with many corals not as lively as they used to be. Despite this, we were fortunate to see a variety of fish, some sharks, and even some turtles, which was a memorable part of our adventure. Our diving course, led by the skilled and reassuring instructor Neo, was a highlight. We felt safe and well taken care of, making our diving experience enjoyable and stress-free. The room service at the resort deserves high praise. On days when we were too tired to dine out, the quality and promptness of the service made our in-room dining just as special as eating at the restaurant. The reception staff were incredible, efficiently taking care of our needs with a level of service that made us feel like they could almost read our minds. And the massages – they were heavenly. Each massage left us feeling rejuvenated, relaxed, and ready to enjoy our next adventure. In summary, our stay at Jamahkiri Dive Resort was an unforgettable blend of luxury, comfort, and natural beauty.

Great resort overlooking shark bay. The resort is located away from the crowds, with exclusive view to the bay. Beach is accessible though rocky. We took a try diving class which was very professional and overall a great experience. Food was good.

Only the amount of stairs since the resort is built on a cliff .

Spacious rooms, Fabulous sea view from the rooms and pool area, Excellent dive center, good staff and very helpful

The stairs, it’s not a joke … I don’t recommend for elderly people or families with baby … breakfast can be improve with more choices

The hotel is just fabulous. It's like Fred Flintstones luxury secret get away. The whole place is just carved into the cliff face with the natural beauty of the rocks placed front and centre. Everything you'd want for a quiet, relaxed holiday with excellent food served in the beautiful main restaurant (no shoes allowed). We'd definitely return and can thoroughly recommend the Dive Club. We did the one day dive experience as a family which included all the training and x2 40 min dives which was just amazing. Our dive coach Max made the day one of the real highlights of the holiday.

Location. It's a 10 min taxi ride to the harbour, main shops and bars but that in itself is an adventure as you hop on the back of four wheel drive trucks to conquer the very steep access road, which is also great fun.

The location is stunning. Beautiful views from every part of the hotel. Loved the pool, particularly enjoying Happy Hour sitting there. Room was gorgeous, again with great views. Great snorkelling straight from the hotel. Lovely staff. Amazing food. Other reviews complain about the stairs. You need to be aware there are stairs but it didn’t bother us at all. Rather climb the stairs and have the views we had.

Shame the spa wasn’t open. Massage in my room wasn’t a good massage.

Everything was perfect, from the staff to the SPA and the food. However, I'd like to highlight one thing in particular: right near the hotel, there's a fantastic spot for snorkeling. It's peaceful with no crowds, and you can find beautiful fish, as well as turtles and sharks. There's also a stunning beach with white sand nearby.

Unfortunately, we weren't lucky with the weather during our stay. For 2-3 days, it rained heavily without stopping, and the sea was too rough to enter. However, this is not the hotel's fault—just be prepared that even during the peak dry season, you might find yourself stuck at the hotel for a few days due to weather conditions. That being said, this hotel is a great place to spend your time in if the weather is bad, with plenty of amenities and activities to enjoy indoors.

The room itself was perfectly done, the resort is great for snorkeling and was lucky enough to snorkle with turtles from the bay at the resort. A member of staff i think her name was Onya was absolutely amazing and so personable and friendly - shout out to her!

The room was tired in some areas, furniture could do with restaining, the accommodation really could have done with a buggy service as was like climbing tiger temple just to get to reception. We had an issue with the booking when arriving, they tried to ask for more money to open up the second room of the 2 bedroom villa we had which I just dont get at all.. if I have booked a 2 bedroom villa - regardless to on my own or not, I want a 2 bedroom villa.. this was resolved in the end but made me uncomfortable having to dispute this upon arrival. Having stayed in many 5 star resorts.. I really must say that this does not quite make the cut when it comes to what's on offer and the general resort itself.
