Coral Bay Resort, Koh Samui, Suratthani 84320 - Review ...
Eine traumhafte Anlage!!! Wir hatten einen Family DeLuxe Beach Bungalow mit direktem Seeblick. Es wehte immer eine leichte Briese über die Terasse. Großzügige Terasse große Schlafzimmer mit harten Betten (Wir fanden es gut) Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit dem Service des Hotels. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und hat sich den A. aufgerissen um unsere Wünsche zu erfüllen. Frühstück war lecker und ausreichend vorhanden. Wir waren einzig und allein zur Erholung da. Wer zum Schnorcheln oder Tauchen dahin fahren möchte den müssen wir leider enttäuschen: Das Wasser ist sehr trüb... Was wir zu Bemängeln hatten waren die sehr hohen Preise des Essens und der Getränke im Hotel. Wir sind nur außerhalb des Hotels Essen gewesen weil die Preise dort um ca. 50% günstiger waren. Ach ja-> Die Coctails im Hotel gingen gar nicht was sehr schade war da die Bar am Abend und in der Nacht traumhaft schön war. Wir werden nächstes Jahr zu 100% wieder dorthinfahren. Eins noch: Keine Chinesen und Russen in der Anlage deswegen sehr ruhig und Angenehm. Gruß Frank Burmester Hamburg Deutschland <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span> |

We loved our stay at Coral Bay Resort. The beach is great and quiet, no Russians. The Bungalow was big enough for all 4 of us. However, we think this resort needs a tone up as some facilities show some wear/age. The pool area definately needs updating.
Enjoyed Amata Spa, recommend everyone to try that. We will be back next year. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span> |
no problem, very efficient. |

Friendly and efficient frontdesk-straff. Rooms are spacious and wel maintained. OCEAN-view is marvelous.
Exterior of the bungalo s is a bit dated. Thatched roofs are worn-out and need replacement.
Although the location is top it looks like tatt this resortt is on it s return.
One beach-bar was closed and the other bar/restaurant wasn t suitable for collecting drinks etc in bathing-suit. Diner restaurant is overpriced.
Although high-season the resort was only 50% occupied.
Stayed her during high-season <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span> |

Will definately book with Sawadee again. |

Coral Bay Resort, Koh Samui, Suratthani 84320 - Review ...
I have been keeping The Coral Bay in mind since my first visit to Koh Samui in late nineties. I passed it by many times and looked around. Prime location, away from noisy Chaweng beach but still close to town, wide beachfront strap which is a rarity nowadays, spacious sea-view bungalows, lush gardens… Indeed, natural luxury, which is the resort’s slogan. Too bad now, its better times have definitely passed. Now it looks neglected and untended. There has been no renovation for years. Bungalows are still comfortable, as they were initially constructed. I bet you won’t get that space for that money anymore anywhere else on the island. We stayed at a PDF (I guess it means paired deluxe family) consisting of two big interconnected bedrooms, each with a king-size bed and a separate bathroom, and a spacious sea-view terrace. I estimate the total space to well exceed 100 sq. meters. The bungalow is so cozy and eco-friendly. It is all-wooden inside and outside, including furniture, has a thatched roof and natural stone in bathrooms. However, renovation has been needed years ago. Or at least elementary day-to-day maintenance. Windows are blotchy. My wife had to buy a detergent at 7/11 and clean the glass herself. The pool is out-of-date and small. Chlorine-cleaning is not maintained, which the management believes to be a plus, but it means muddy and greasy water. If you wear a mask and dive, you would hardly see your stretched hand. All-wooden sunbeds are withered, futons are covered with spots and slits all around. As a result, the pool is unattended. The beach is not cleaned everyday from sea weeds. Unlike in any well-managed resort, coconuts are dangerously hanging over your head everywhere. Let alone our 5-year kid, we were afraid for ourselves. I had to tell the management about that, and in a couple of days they cut some of those bombs along the paths in the gardens, but on the beach it all remained the same. The beach hut, supposed to be a beachside snack bar, is always closed. I mean, 24/7. Variety of food displayed at breakfast is somewhat an absolute minimum. The main restaurant is almost unattended. The food is pretty good, however, the overall atmosphere is somewhat dead-alive. The menu booklets look like they have never been renewed since the resort’s opening, well-handled and stained. They have a very beautiful lounge next to the restaurant, sort of a big pergola with multicolored clothes fancifully twisted and hanging over your head while you are sitting back in comfy cane sofas and chairs. Wonderfully designed idea, but if you look closer, those clothes have never been to laundry and ironing since the decoration was initially made… So wonderfully conceived, designed and created, the resort has gone rusty and now is in utter desertion… So sad. The staff is not bad, they keep smiling and do their job somehow, but, as everything else in the resort, people leave you with that impression of indifference and negligence. One night, we saw two fat rats strolling on the roof of the adjoining bungalow! My wife was shocked, and it nearly became the final straw for us… But we decided to stay there to the very end, since the accommodation was fully prepaid in advance. The resort’s website has not been updated for four years now, links don’t work properly, which should have been a troubling sign for us. Perhaps, that was the time when the resort was sold by its initial owners… Now it is clenched between Nora Beach and Anantara Lawana which both have worse beach slots and sea access, but look well managed, clean, always full of guests, lights, music and fun. IN SUMMARY: for us, it was not the worst choice because we have been to Koh Samui many times, and in fact, all we need is a spacious room. The Coral Bay provides it, and that’s value for money. We always rent a car and go around the island, attending various places and resorts with their pools, beaches and restaurants. But for those who are not that well acquainted with the island and prefer to get everything in a single basket, to have comfort, good facilities and services at one place, The Coral Bay is not recommended. At least, until it changes to the better, someday, somehow. P.S. If I had money, I would buy and resurrect it, turn it into a real pearl… <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span> |
Excellent, as always. |

The bungalows where huge. They are nice but they getting old...the garden is great. The pool needs constructions especially the area around the pool. The staff was....hmmmm not to compare with other thai people we ever met. I don´t know the reason what made them so bored and uninterested...the beach was nice but there is nothing around to have a nice drink or a quick lunch...you need to go by car or bike to the city which is very close...but its not possible to walk along the beach. Breakfast was ok. Not more not less....no fruit carving...a bit loveless...it was low season we get a bungalow which is very far away to walk to the pool and our 8 year old daughter had a bit problems to find the way...it was not possible to move to another bungalow although there where just 5 familys...if there was 5.... <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span> |

Fantastic people. Everyone looks after you really well. The spa is by far and away the best I have ever been too.
The place is a quiet peaceful place which is precisely what I wanted.
The rooms are well kept and truly match the pictures. |

It s really value for money , especially if you plan to join day tours anyway. My dad got a fever after joining the safari tour (may be too tired) , and it was amazing that he was fully recovered/recharged just by 1-day enjoying the fresh air and wonderful garden walking in the hotel. Of course, he told me that the nice room service served him the best, and he could take a good rest and he enjoyed the sunshine just at the doorway. |
Ms Bee is really helpful to recommend such a wonderful hotel which best-fit my need. |

I love the Coral Bay resort so much. I can see the beach and sea just on the balcony. The flowers on the bed are also sweet. The service which could almost meet our require is also good. All in all, that s the perfect resort. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span> |
It s a really good agent for its convenience booking service. It s good tool to search resort I want. |

Hotel is located in a very beautifull area, very silent, green, comfortable. Nice beach, clean. Close to the tourist area (about 20 min walking), but good far from the noise of town... I would like to recommend those people, who are tired from city noise to be some time in silence and relax. Friendly personal, very convenient rooms (that is not 5 stars, but more close to 4 stars hotel). I like that!!!! <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span> |
Very convenient. Very safety. Easy. Reasonable price offer. Thank you! |

This resort was absolutely stunning. The staff were so friendly and helpful, the food in the downstairs restaurant had some of the best Thai food i tasted. The resort is just out of the main street of Chaweng which was perfect as the main road chaweng can stink and be quite dirty. The bungalows were perfect with large bulcanys. |

Just returned home after spending 3 weeks in Thailand, 5 of those nights at Coral Bay Resort.Overall we had a nice stay, but just a couple of things that I think could be improved. The resort has a lovely restaurant right on the beach, but unfortunately smoking is allowed in all areas of the resort. Really unpleasant when you are dining.
The Spa is ridiculously overpriced. 900 Baht for a 30 min massage, when just down the road you can get the same service for 400 Baht for 1 hour. Now I did expect the Spa at the resort to be more expensive than elsewhere, but 5 times the price is unexceptable and consequently, no-one uses it. We stayed in fabulouse accommodation in Bangkok and their spa was less than half that price, so it can be done, and surely having customers use the facility at reasonable prices, is better than having no business.
The Bungalow was lovely,traditional style, a lot of timber and a thatched roof, comfortable bed, and reasonable mini bar prices, but everytime you showered, the bathroom flooded as it is an open style with no fall towards the drain.
As I said a pleasant stay, but maybe some food for thought in regards to my comments, as this resort is not cheap. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span> |
Service good, but the price of the transfer from the airport was overpriced as we discovered the resort is only 5 mins away and a taxi will do it for half the price |
