Hotel & Resort Club : Thailand Hotels & Resorts Reservations

"Coral Bay Resort was absolutely gorgeous! As a family of 5 we all enjoyed a wonderful holiday with friendly and helpful staff. It is a little north of the main activity but a very short ride to everything you need. The pool was amazing and the breakfast, delicious! Highly recommended.."

"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. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>"

"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. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>"

"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."

"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! <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>"

"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>"

"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>"

"The hotel is really nice. We recommend!"

"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...."

"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. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>"

"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."

"Hotel is very beautiful! Due to the rainy season, the room has the worm, maybe is the centipede. bungalow very big,very nice. Hotel s beach is just so so, can t swimming. My daughter very like swimming pool. If you are not afraid of worm. It s a good choice for leisure. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>"

"We had a tranquil and comfortable stay. Perfect location. Lovely views from our beachfront bungalow. Loved our cat visitor - he had such spirit!We will definately stay here again."
