Coral View Resort, Koh Tao, Sai Daeng
Unfortunately, not a good experience. The hillside bungalows are shabby and bad value for 700 Baht. Every night at 10 p.m., the nightly power switching that takes place in Koh Tao caused the lights to go too dim to read for the next 6 or so hours and the fan slowed down to a painfully slow crawl. The extremely unfriendly staff and the bad quality of the food at the restaurant (with only one viable alternative restaurant in walking distance) caused us to cut short our stay after two nights despite being billed for the five we had originally booked. The morning we checked out, I pointed out a piece of onion in my pineapple juice to the waiter who simply replied You go now. Better. It was. We spent the remaining three nights in Cookie s Salad Resort on Ko Phangan s Had Salad, where we had a great room and the staff went out of their way to fulfill every wish. Snorkelling equipment, for instance, can be taken out there at no cost at all, whereas Coral View charges an exorbitant 150 Baht per day - you can rent a motorbike for a day for that price.
It s a real shame, because the location and beach is great, and the gardeners at the resort do a helluva lot better job than the folks in the kitchen!
efficient and swift

The Coral View property is stunning and there is excellent snorkelling right off the beach. It is a great place to get away and relax. We stayed in a luxury apt , but it was simply a basic fan room for 3. We then switched to a bungalow for 3 more days, which was more rugged, but fine.
No problems

We have spend 2 weeks in the Coral View Resort and I have to say that have been a fantastic holidays, my first holidays in Thailand!! Excellent people working in the resort, very kind and helpful, excellent accommodation (value for money) and the time we spend in the restaurant after our fun dives during the day, fantastic!!
No doubt I would recommend this resort for anybody looking for a relaxing and peaceful holidays!
A part form the resort, I would also recommend the dive agency called Impian Divers! We have made 18 fun dives with these guys and they are very professionals and friendly!!
Thanks a lot for make our holidays as nice as we expected. No doubt we will come back as soon as possible.
EXCELLENT Very reliable and helpful

Très bel endroit.
Plage magnifique, lieu tranquille.
Les responsables doivent s efforcer de préserver ce lieu et ne pas privilégier l aspect financier et de continuer à garder un accueil serviable.
Le Diving center est agréable et le responsable très compétent.
Globalement, Coral View est une adresse que nous recommandons.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Coral View. The location is ideal for those who want a get away vacation away from the bustle of town. Very friendly service. Ideal snorkeling and diving location. Get one of the standalone bungalows rather than a luxury apartment.

Nous avons été un peu déçus par le Coral View Resort pour différentes choses : nous avions pris la chambre n° 30 (la meilleure chambre, d après la patronne), pour laquelle le site du resort annonçait sdb avec toutes les facilités continentales mais en fait, il n y avait pas d eau chaude. Le mobilier de la chambre est relativement vétuste, le ménage n y a jamais été fait durant tout notre séjour (d où poubelle pas vidée, draps de bain et de lit non changés, etc ...).
Pas de climatisation,nous le savions, mais ... seulement un gros ventilateur sur pied. Des moustiquaires aux portes et fenêtres, mais ne fermant pas et laissant donc entrer tous les moustiques et autres délicieuses bestioles !
Bref, nous avons trouvé que le prix demandé était beaucoup trop élevé par rapport aux prestations fournies.
Nourriture du restaurant pas au top non plus.
Sinon, au point de vue situation, rien à dire : le resort est situé au calme (ce que nous désirions), loin de l agitation des autres plages et la plage est parfaite pour le snorkeling (malgré un manque évident de parasols et chaises longues - seulement 2 parasols pour tout le resort !).
Impeccable !

Nice and simple resort. We had a luxury apartment with fan with one double bed and one single bed. We put the single matress on the floor so we had two single beds for our kids. Cold showers are OK. You have to ask if you want your room cleaned or more paper toilet or your rubbish bin emptied.
The beach is lovely. You can snorkel or swim. There are two nice bays you can easily reach by foot in 10 mns ; one is all sandy ; the other one is all rocks but nice for snorkelling.
To go to the village you can take the resort taxi (200 baths return /p) or you can come back with a moto taxi, cheaper.
There is a small diving school in the resort in which people are so friendly. The boss speaks french, english, german !
The restaurant is nice, the food is good ; don tt forget to try also the restaurant next door in the Heaven huts resort , it s lovely too and right on the beach.
You can have your clothes washed, use internet (expensive 3bahts/mn), rent scuba, palm, kayak, go on different tours around the island.
Very nice and quiet altogether.
No problem with sawadee.

the resort was very nice and the people are very helpful. Stayed in the wooden bungalows but the bathrooms were a bit dirty. Geckos basically used my sink as a toilet and could hear them all night (wear earplugs). Otherwise, great staff and relaxing location. The pickup from the ferry pier was convenient and the diving school was excellent. Definitely recommend it if you want somewhere peaceful (everyone s in their bungalows by 10pm) and relaxing.
very good and fast!

This resort is far away from anything else, no shopping and only one other restaurant. The mediteranean villas are very simular, quite old and will not get cleaned during you stay in it. So, if you love nature, beach and especially snorkling (you will see some sharkes), then this is a good resort for you. The restuarant is fantastic, the beach bar is a dream and the staff is perfect!
