About the Hydronauts diving resort

Hydronauts Diving Resort is a small dive resort located in the Chalok Baan Kao area on the south coast of Koh Tao, about a ten-minute walk from Chalok Bay and the Chalok viewpoint. It is geared towards diving and therefore ideal for divers taking a course who want accommodation, a classroom, and a pool all in one place.

The accommodations offer superior and deluxe rooms with air conditioning and private bathrooms, some with balconies or sea views, family rooms, and a multi-bed room for budget-conscious travelers – all centered around an outdoor pool. Guests praise the friendly staff and the relaxed, sociable atmosphere that characterizes dive resorts on the island.

Chalok is quieter than Sairee and is closer to the bays of the south coast, including Shark Bay and Freedom Beach.

    Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

    Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

    After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

    Location is more important than the stars

    A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
