U&I Place is perched on a picturesque hilltop overlooking 8/59 Moo2 Mae Haad Mae Haad Pier, 84360, Thailand
Went for 2 weeks stayed for 2 months. Love this spot on the island at U&I Place. There is a grocery store across the street. Only 2 minute walk to the touristy area / beach. I like being here and with the locals. It feels like home and diving with U&I is great. I got one on one training with instructors instead of being crammed into a 20+ diving class like other places on the island. I cannot wait to go back!
Took our basic and advanced open water ssi here. Had an awesome experience, and stayed for almost 1month.
I had the best stay and U&I place. I did three free dive with the instructor and the advance course all in one week with immaculate new equipment and first class instructors. David and Yui are very friendly and welcoming and the family atmosphere make it very peaceful and enjoyable. All the instructors are very competent with a lot of experience and they make the best effort to make the diving experience unforgettable.
The bad is good the room size is big it’s ok kind of place if you not find something you can stay here the toilet is pertty dirty
It’s an amazing place to stay and also great to collect some dive experiences. Staff was super friendly and helpful! Highly recommended!
Originally booked here for 1 night and ended up staying longer as the rooms were great. Stayed in an 8 bed dorm big rooms with lots of space and lockers. Comfy beds and air con for a cheap price, I believe much cheaper than the rest of the island! The lady on the reception is absolutely lovely and goes above and beyond to make sure you’re enjoying yourself. It’s very close to 7 eleven and short walk to the beach and bars. We ended up booking dives through the hostel as well which were very fun! Good equipment and very professional. Great place to stay!
Perfect place with very professional instructors. Dorm is clean and pleasant.Recommended for diving and accommodation ! Speaking French, German, English
U & I is certainly one of the best diving schools in Koh Tao. My husband and I dived with our instructor Sébastien for 8 days. Initially, we had planned 2 days of diving in Koh Tao but after our first day of diving with U&I, we felt so well accompanied that we could not stop. For those who are looking for quality, personal service and a more informal atmosphere, I highly recommend U & I. The equipment is of the highest quality and everything is geared to the safety in diving. If you love diving, don’t miss the opportunity to dive with U&I in Koh Tao.
Simply exceptional, would highly reccomend!We did a lot of research into which dive school to use, and are very pleased we went with this one. This is a review for dive training… as of summer 2019, U&I no longer have a hostel or bar.U&I is run by a French man and his female Thai partner, who have been here for many years. On an island where many instructors are backpakers like us who have settled for a short time for money and fun, these are two enthusiastic professionals with a wealth of knowledge and and enthusiasm to help people. If you want to party hard and do the bare minimum of training then go elsewhere to one of the sausage factory schools, if you want high quality instruction with wonderful people then come here.Prices are fixed in Ko Tao, so you pay the same wherever, it’s about what you get for your money.We looked at many other dive schools, and since doing our training we have seen those other schools in the water, and it can be scary and confusing how bad they are… Instructors with minimal experience, minimal training and minimal qualifications, leading the biggest groups possible.At U&I you will be taught by the company owners who are very passionate and highly qualified, in a group which is just your friends family. Most people doing open water training will get 4 open water dives for their 11,000 THB, we got 7, in a group of 2 rather than 4 or 8.If you are young travellers like us, don’t be put off by the grey hair, Albert Einstein look, these guys love what they do and are as enthusiastic and fun as any gap year instructors… We enjoyed many evenings socialising with them.If you want the big group / party scene, or cheap accommodation then U&I can’t really help, we went elsewhere in the evenings we wanted to party with other backpackers, and came here to learn. Was the right decision for us!Though they can’t offer cheap accommodation, they show their generosity in other ways which more than makes up for saving 100THB a night on a hostel.It is advertised as a French speaking school, we can’t speak French but had no problems at all, instruction is in eloquent English (with a fun accent).I reccomend in the strongest possible terms.
The taken message is: Go ahead with U&I diving centre with your eyes closed ! As we arrived in Koh Tao with the ferry, we saw the diving centre right in front of the pier… We wanted to ask some infos about diving sessions. We just put one foot in U & I diving centre, we met David, very welcoming and we could feel the nice and cool atmosphere there. We’ve spent 2 weeks (and it is not finished) at this diving centre and made over 12 dives (price is 800 baths per dive if you do more than 10 dives) and we have to mention that since there are so many dives spots here, it was totally worth it. Pee Youhee and David are very friendly, extremely professional, patient, attentive and hardworking, they teach you everything properly whatever you already dived before or not. Plus all the equipment Aqualung is in great conditions. We feel more than safe with them. Pee Youhee is taking pictures of you and the sceneries from the day! I have to say that her smile and laughs are contagious !! Only good humor, every day, all day long… ;-)We also went for snorkeling near Nang-Yuan island with Sandy, very kind, smily and friendly. We enjoyed very much our journey surrounded by lots of colorful fishes and corals. Just amazing !! In conclusion, we feel blessed to have met Youhee, David and Sandy. A big big “Kop Khun Kha” to you all… for everything ! This diving centre is at human scale… in particular “human”. They care about you !I recommend a thousand times… no, I recommend 10 000, million times if you want your dive experience in Koh Tao to be memorable, unique, personalised..: go here with no hesitation !Cat
