Comment : Bronwyn Norman : 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. Date: 2010-03-18
Reserve : 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
Comment : John Holmgreen Madsen : Very good and friendly personal. Smiling and very serviceminded.
The manager could learn something from the personal about service.
No good we had to decide the candlelight dinner menu immeditely after arriving.(When we were chekking in, it is not a decision you want to make strait after a long journey) Date: 2010-03-13

Comment : Neil Martin : Superb. Great setup in nice location with great amenities. No need to leave the hotel with the idyllic setting and great food. Date: 2010-01-12
Reserve : Very good. Addressed booking issues promptly and delivered on expectations.
Comment : Mads Holm : We are a family of 2 adults plus 3 kids (5, 7, 9). The resort was fantastic - both for us with family but also for just couple travellers.
We had booked and stayed 12 nights - not at all too long.
My warmest recommendations and thanks to very kind staff. Date: 2010-01-09

Comment : Bernardette van Ingen : Very beautifull hotel with a very nice, quiet garden. De rooms were spacious en very clean.
De staff was very friendly and helpfull. Breakfast was good.
The Cocorock restaurant is very good and tastefull. Only 1.5 km from Chaweng in a peacefull place. I recommend this hotel and when we go back to Samui we sure book this hotel again. Date: 2009-11-05
Reserve : Everything was very clear and well organized.
Comment : Geoff spencer : The best hotel on our trip. The family bungalows are so comfortable and modern. The staff were great. The beach is secluded but just a short walk to Chaweng. Bring water shoes though, it s a bit rocky. Well rommended! Date: 2009-04-18
Reserve : Easy and reliable. Good stuff
Comment : Paul Pledger : The resort is very clean, the maids work exceptionally hard and the rooms are spotless.
The staff are extremely friendly, the food is great.
The pool was a disappointment, it was very dirty and was not cleaned regularly. Date: 2009-04-17
Reserve : No problems with the booking service whatsoever.
Comment : Kevin Stirrat : Coral Bay Resort and Spa (Chawaeng Noi)
The staff were really nice and helpful. the hotel is very old and run down but in a good location which was less busy and relaxing,we fond cockroaches in our room 3 days in a row. We paid over Bt14,000 a day for one bangalow with two rooms which I thought was quite expensive for the condition of the hotel. The hotel is 5 minutes drive from the airport but we were charged Bt 250 for each person ( I didn t use the hotel transfer on our return to the airport, paid the outside taxi for Bt 300 for the whole van).Room service was ridiculously expensive.We will stay somewhere else next trip as we realised we could have picked other places which are a lot newer and a lot less expensive.

Comment : Manolis Florides : amazing holiday, perfect accommodation, lovely people. if we are to go again the same place. Thank you! Date: 2009-01-04
Reserve : perfect service for this hotel everything explaned as it was and we got what we wanted. thanks
Comment : Siline N.G : 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. Date: 2008-08-29
Reserve : Very good and very convenient, easy to use and quick in answers.
Comment : Tracy Nham : Very impressed with the appearance of this resort. The lobby and dinning areas are gorgeous. Reception was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast excellent, accom. beautiful. Myself and a friend had a motorbike accident in Krabi before arriving in Koh Samui so we spent 95% of our time at the resort. We are so glad we chose this resort. 10/10 Date: 2008-06-11
Reserve : I have used Sawadee booking services many many times and traveled all over Thailand. Sawadee are the best. I have never had a problem. Very safe and efficient.
Comment : Fiona Smyth : Absolutely gorgeous, exactly as shown on the website, a lush tropical paradise. The lead-in rooms (deluxe) have huge balconies, the perfect place for a sundowner. Staff were friendly and helpful, also managed to change my booking to add an extra day, no problem. My only negative would be for the breakfast, which was bland and uninspired, with not nearly enough of the abundant local fruit options offered. Date: 2008-05-19
Reserve : Simple, quick, efficient- brilliant!
Comment : Ilya Shaposhnikov : Fantastic hotel, friendly staff. The beach and sea are not the best in the island - due to the coral reef nearby. Bungalows are surrounded by marvelous garden, bungalow (deluxe, garden view) - superior quality, really luxury. The location is a bit remote from the Chaveng centre, but to me it is an advantage - taxi and tuk-tuk are cheap enough to get there at anytime. I would strongly recommend this hotel! And would like to come back :) Date: 2008-05-16
Reserve : very good, as always, I m Sawadee customer since 2002
Comment : Irene Lim Dy : The hotel s motive being rustic is well maintained and clean. Highly recommended for tourists who would want to stay near restaurants and night life... Date: 2008-05-16
Reserve : The staffs were very accommodating, patient and helpful for tourists who always seem at a lost for a first time visit.
Comment : John Harvey Pearson : Very helpful staff. Beautiful grounds.Clean large rooms. Very good food in the restaurant, modestly priced and an excellent breakfast buffet. Date: 2008-04-07
Reserve : Worked flawlessly
Comment : Jann Maree Treanor : Absolutely fantastic! A little wary as I booked online and was not sure how resort would compare to the website but it was exactly as promoted. Bungalows great size, restaurant good, quiet and beautiful beach. Staff lovely. Would not hesitate to go back. Date: 2008-03-20
Reserve : Excellent. Responded to any queries I had promptly.
Comment : Thomas : 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! Date: 2008-01-06
Reserve : Everything went as smooth as silk! Thanks for a great holidays!
Comment : Janne Christoffersen : We spent 12 wonderful days at Coral Bay Resort to celebrate my birthday and christmas with our family.We were 12 people all together, from 2 to 83 years old. We cannot thank enough for the excellent and kind service we got from everybody at the resort.My husband, who is handicapped and walks with a stick, always got a helping hand when needed. The manager Peter was especially kind and gave us many good advices about trips that was good for the children and so on. The restaurant was really good and the breakfast was extraordinary. We have never stayed in such a nice and beauty ful place and I hope we will be back. I only have one small complaint. It would have been nice with a plan over the resort on the website, so we could see where the bungalows were placed. Date: 2007-12-14
Reserve : Very good and efficient.
Comment : Kate : We had the most fantastic stay at Coral Bay Resort. An absolute haven in the middle of what has now unfortunately become a very commercialised Samui. The huts were just gorgeous and had everything you could need with a luxurious holiday feel. 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. Thank you Coral Bay for such a brilliant stay. Date: 2007-12-12
Reserve : Very efficient and helpful. Thanks
