The Coral Bay resort is located in north Chaweng, not far from the airport. But the location is very quiet saddled on a hill down to the beach. I rented a beachfront bungalow, direct at the beach. The reception was friendly and helpful when I arrived. All bungalows are double bungalows with connecting doors, that means you may have to... More

We got exactly what we expected with what we paid. The bungalows are very spacious and definitely have the island feel. We were able to see the sunrise from our hut but our view of the water was blocked by other huts. If a beachfront is available, it is well worth it to pay the premium if there is one.... More

Originally booked for one night and ended up staying 9. So that shows house much we liked it. Rooms so spatial. Massive double bed beautiful bathroom, Hugh veranda. Gardens are stunning. The gardeners work SO hard to keep it looking so beautiful. Staff so friendly. Shame that restaurant prices are too high as the food was superb. Breakfast was very... More

The bungalows were absolutely lovely, but the beds were rock hard. We could almost not get any sleep at all due to the hard beds. (we know that beds in thailand often are harder then "normal" but this was really bad). The shower was also lovely, waterfall. The beach was terrible, the only nice part of it was just below... More

We stayed at Coral Bay from 01 - 05 December 2012 .. for our silver anniversary. It is really a lovely place. Accommodation is in the form of spacious and independent wooden bunglows with the interiors also in wood. It has a massive bed and one of the most comfortable one I've slept in any hotel for years. A great... More

Title really says it all. This place used to be great and we booked the beachfront villa at the last minute. We loved staying at this place for the idyllic view, relaxed walks on the beach in the morning and evening. For half the price this place would be packed. They are just too expensive for what they now offer... More

Oh dear, how fast things can go downhill. not 2 years ago this was a lovely resort, the reason we returned obviously. It hasn't kept up with the times nor has there been any investment we could notice. It still has its lovely nature charm and the bungalows (as is) are still great but nothing has been updated. Even fewer... More

Stayed here for 6 nights in a deluxe double bungalow and we couldn't of been happier with the accom itself. On the downside though I found the staff at the resort bar and restaurant to be very rude and unhelpful and the food itself was the worst meal we had during our entire stay in Thailand, but that was the...
