Overall Hotel Reviews
Based on 19 reviews
Accommodation was basic facilities, but sufficient for a three day break to relax. Even though the electric was turned off twice a day, this was not such a big problem. Beds were a bit hard, and should request additional pillows for comfort.
The food at the buffet, may have been a lot warmer, but should you order from the restaurant the food was nice and hot!
Very quiet, relaxing and surreal at night once day travellers left and only hotel patrons on the island.
The beach front bungalow's may need to have the screens replaced / repaired, as we hired three in a row for our group and all were in need of repair. Due to the mosquitos early morning and at dusk the doors had to be completely closed to prevent being bitten.
We didnt find the day trippers a problem as reviews indicated in pre-travel research.
Staff very friendly and accommodating.
Three nights is a long enough stay, as a mid holiday unwind before heading back to Patong!

Only dead coral to be seen snorkelling
Disappointed that it wasn't made clear that the coral is all dead within snorkelling range.
the resort description also doesn't tell you that the power routinely goes off twice a day for a couple of hours each time. There was no hot water in our room or the rooms of any of the other people we met that we were also staying there, and the water in the taps is very salty
( ? Seawater). Don't try and wash your hair ! We stayed for three nights which was too long given the poor quality of the food at the resort ( nothing else available on the island). Unless you were up at the the time breakfast started serving, all you could get was the dregs and it was cold ( and a good source of "the runs" due to the fact it was sitting around for hours). Many of the dishes on the menu and cocktails weren't available as they said they had run out of ingredients.
the resort transfer cost for the return 15 minute speedboat trip across to the island was overpriced at 2,000 baht ( a$60) for the two of us, especially as we had to fit in with the staff transfers to and from the mainland.
our room, a bungalow on the beachfront, was very basic and could have been better maintained...torn flyscreens, louvres that didn't close properly, fortunately it did have a room safe.
take your own tea, coffee sugar and tetra-packed milk as the supplies in the rooms are limited to sachets and only enough for one cup per person a day and they are charged for .
staff were pleasant enough, but the restaurant service we received was poor as there were large groups of tourists who, although seated after us, had their orders taken and received their meals before us.
we took our own snorkelling gear, but i suspect anyone hiring it at the resort would have paid a fortune for it. Take along some bananas as they're great for feeding the fish while you're snorkelling.
overall not good value for the cost, and the name coral island is deceptive.

Only restorant is very expensive (Beer cost 177 Bath). Very nice place. Pool is super and in resort wasnt very much much poeple.

really nice resort, with excellent service and very helpful and friendly staff. Very good breakfasts and dinners (this one bit overpriced 400 THB/person - buffet, beer 130 THB), You can contact hotel and organise transfer from/to airport to the island (including speedboat). Very quiet place with nice beaches, warm sea - good for families and everyone who wants some kind of escape from overcrowded resorts and relax in quiet spot.
Overall we would recommend it, definetely...

Vi have a good time at your hotel. Vi endjou the vater and the son.
I had a hard and difficult conversation...
I had a hard and difficult conversation with their staff arranging pick up from Kata beach area because of their poor English. Transfer into the island costed us 1000 Baht per person, which was supposed to include a day trip with snorkeling. But when we arrived the island, we were merely pointed to the desk to pick up snorkeling equipments without no further assistance from hotel staff whatsoever. Anyway it was a rainy day so we didn't enjoy much water sports. Was supposed to have electricity cut during daytime but luckily the supply continued otherwise we wouldn't know what to do with no water sports. We booked Deluxe room but it's not acceptable with the price, minimal facility in the room only. Food was very poor, everything was fried or deep fried! I would not recommend anyone to stay at this hotel, book a day trip to visit the beach is more than enough. And we had to pay another 750 Baht for transfer out of the island too!
- Nice bungalow at beach row, room...
- Nice bungalow at beach row, room big enough, clean
and cozy
- many dead corals in the water after the first step,
so no plash and easy swimming at low tide possible
- but after 3 meters in the water you can snorkel
and see many types of fish. Very good !
- on the day hordes of tourists come with speedboats
- loud and the beach near to the hotel is crowded
- Restaurant and bar closed around 09:30 - 10:00 pm
after asking : Last order ?
- you have no choice, you must go your bungalow or
sit with your own drink (order or buy before)
at the beach.
- Big groups, which rent the business rooms, have an
advantage for dinner and breakfast. Other guests
must dinner inside.
- Breakfast was poorly
All in all a o.k. stay, but we had much better ones for same or less money.

it's paradise!!!
splendid sea view. Still missing those colourful fish swimming with me in the sea. unbelievably crystal clear sea water. The island is so calm and peaceful, away from the city life. The beachfront bangalore that we stayed, i would say it's was cosy to stay in bed and watching out the sea and listening to the sea breeze, so peaceful. only thing i'm not used to was i had to take bath with sea water(it's from the shower but tasted salty and my body was still sticky after bath). Same to the tape water. Food and drinks(including water) were abit too expensive too.
We loved this resort. How can...
We loved this resort. How can you beat a bungalow right on the beach!!! Some of the staff had limited English, so there was some small confusions on occasions, but no big deal. The staff were friendly. Dinner was a great location and the food was good. Obviously an outside buffet has it's challenges, but we enjoyed our meals. There was a huge school of fish gathered in the clear waters of the sea shore which were great to watch in the ealry evening!! Very peaceful!
