Unfortunately our accommodation at Coral Bay was not up to standard. This was our 4th time at this resort and we were very disappointed. The resort is very tired and appears run down. The gardens were overgrown and needed attention, the pool beds were very dirty, the towels looked like they were 20 years old all torn and frayed, there was no pool service, in fact the service was appalling from the reception area thru to the restaurant. We came from another resort where the staff were brilliant kind and very friendly but at CB they were rude, and not communicative at all and I hardly noticed a smile amongst them. They advertise that they have 3 restaurants where in fact there is only one that was operating as a restaurant, so you might want to make sure that when you are advertising this that its not misleading. In the one restaurant where we did spend money I wanted a glass of white wine only to be told that the owner had taken all the white wine to a party!.Sadly I cannot recommend this resort to anyone who is looking for 4 star accom.

Vi har vært på hotellet i april 2012, 2 uker.Vi er veldig fornøyd med service og fasiliteter på hotellet. Hvis vi skal reise til Koh Samui en gang til, kommer vi mest sannsynlig å velge dette hotellet igjen. Hotellet har kjempeflott tropisk hage og behagelig bassengområdet. Det er en del sjøgress i havet på stranden ved siden av hotellet og det er ganske grunn, sanden er ikke så finkornet som på Chaweng beach. Men det har ikke påvirket vårt inntrykk av oppholdet. Det er kort vei til Chaweng beach, eneste ulempe er at man må gå på veien, hvor det er ganske mye trafikk ca 5-10 min. Ellers er vi veldig fornøyde med oppholdet og har fått med seg flotte bildet og masse gode minner fra ferien.

Hello, Although hotel is very cozy and charming, I was definitively very disapointed with hotel service! The night before leaving, I asked to pay additional expenses (drinks,food,..)to get ready early morning but I found out that it is not possible to use VISA credit card!! wowo..how is it possible? then hotel staff dont provide any solutions to solve the problem (STRATEGY OF WAITING)!!! NO SOLUTIONS until the customer finally found a way by paying with cash! WHAT HAPPEN IS NO CASH? no helpful. It gave me a sad feeling when leaving this place and it does not motive me to come back: PITY!! I heard better service in Thailand! Chock Di Na Khrap!

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

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.

Coral Bay Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
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…

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....

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.

Accommodation and facilities:
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.

Reservation service:
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

The hotel and the site is really nice, nice decoration, really beautiful garden, very confortable bungalow, nice pool, and a very practival gazebo on the pool side, since we were with baby and kids and could be a good place for us for having a rest in the day time. However, found it far from the downtown, the beach is quiet, but too many corals, so could not walk in the water without surf shoes. The hotel could be considered as a 4-5 stars natural luxury resort, but strangly we had to pay for the tea and coffee individual packs which were put next to the kettle for the guest convenience; for my mind in hotel of this range, usually coffee and tea are free for guest use.

Definitely one of the most beautiful resorts on Samui island. Set in a wonderful lush tropical garden, guests can relax in nicely designed one- or two party villas with an individual character. The staff is perfect, service impeccable, very helpful people! The only minus is the breakfast. Not bad as such, it is a bit dull and one would want to see a little more of culinary creativity go into it. By the way, you will find the breakfast thing repeatedly mentioned at a number of forums by visitors to Coral Bay. The restaurant is fine but there are so many fine restaurants around that one should try them as well. Hire a scooter (at the reception) and do not stay at the resort all the time. There are dozens of attractive excursions, day and night, that the hotel management will help you to arrange. Try the Thail Culinary Institute for a coooking course! In total - no regret whatsoever!

Most especially the team at Coral Bay were so exceptionally friendly and helpful - it really makes your trip. I hope places like this don't sell out to the larger establishments that are now prevalent on this once beautiful island getaway. If you are looking for some luxury, but built into and complementing the natural attributes and surroundings - don't go past Coral Bay. And the Amata Spa is absolute HEAVEN.

Our second time back here, and the resort itself reatains most of its charm - the accomodation is excellent and the staff equally so. One major issue though...the building work on a new resort complex currently underway next door was pretty intrusive - JCBs and heavy trucks working on the beach can't be anything but intrusive, and the current works have cut the beach off making it all but impossible to walk along the beach to the main area of Chaweng beach. It also made the walk along the road in the evening somewhat more dangerous, with heavy trucks charging around, as the workers appeared to be working on the site until midnight and beyond. Add to this the current works that the hotel is undertaking to demolish and replace it's own beach bar and a certain amount of the tranquility is most definitely lost. This didn't ruin our break - in fact we would certainly return - but not without checking first with Coral Bay that the works had been completed....the signs indicated an opening date for the next door resort of December 2007, but it looked a lot further away from completion than that.

Coral Bay Resort is located on the Northern, secluded end of Chaweng Beach. We liked being in a quieter area, but within a short taxi ride of all the great restaurants in Chaweng (Recommend Eat Sense and Zico's - a fabulous Brazilian Barbecue). The Resort has a great restaurant with a wide selection and good breakfast buffet. The Pool is not large, but there is a shallow children's section. The Resort is on a secluded bay with a beautiful view. There is coral in the water that makes it a little difficult to wade at times, but the water is so clear that it was not hard to walk around the coral and out to the nice sandbar - around the sandbar the sand was very soft and water very shallow for quite a ways, perfect for our two year old to run around and splash. Plenty of beach chairs. We stayed in the Deluxe Family Bungalow with my wife's parents in one room and us in the other. We really liked our rooms, very spacious (even with our son's portable crib), and the bathrooms were spacious as well. The staff, especially the manager (Peter), were very friendly and helpful. Would also like to mention that directly across from the entrance to the resort is O.A. Travel - we used them for all our taxi, laundry, touring needs and they were fantastic and cheaper. Just got their card and called their cell phone if we needed a ride into or out of town. Very convenient. Also, this resort is next door to the Nora resort, whose restaurant is also quite good and convenient to walk to. Lastly, there was construction next door to Coral Bay while we were there, but it did not disturb us at all.
