Reviews for Coral Bay Resort
Review 1:the meals are bit more expensive then in other places, most of the stuff doesn't speak english
Review 2:Calm resort, personal is not pushing into buying any trips from them, possibility to rent a scooter
Review 3:The drinks in the bar were good but it took a long time to make them. Our friends were billed for 2 drinks they didn´t order which they noticed first when we had left Koh Jum.The beach was really rocky at low tide.
Review 4:Nice and helpful staff, good food at the restaurant. We stayed in the cheeper huts, a lot of geckos inside but the only time they did bother us were when they pooped in our bed. The owner spoke really good english. The place was clean and well taken care of, they also had four cute puppies that played on the beach all day. It was nice to see that they took good care of the dogs, feeding and even bathing them.
Review 5:Staff do not make you feel comfortable or welcome. The pillows are way too big and gave us sore necks but we did not feel we could ask the staff for new ones. The bed you can feel every spring in it when you lie down. Terrible sleeps. Frogs in room are ok. Ants and snails are not. Food is expensive. No hot showers, for that price there should have been.
Review 6:The fried rice was good. We also spent a lot of time at another resort called ting rai, the staff there are really friendly, especially nit and ned, in fact we spent most of our time tgere and wish we stayed at ting rai instead of coral bay.
Review 7:The manager was the worst person we've met during our stay in Thailand, she got angry with us probably for not eating in the resort's overpriced restaurant (the place next door is cheaper, tastier and with nicer staff) and did her best to show us how much she disliked us during our departure from the island. Helping the other tourists to transport their baggage on the boat and then ignoring us when we climbed it, not replying to our "goodbye" and (literally) turning her back on us is not only being very unprofessional, it's simply being rude. Not recommended.
Review 8:Clean rooms, daily cleaning service with fresh towels. Bungalows almost right on the beach.
Review 9:The beach was nice at high tide but wasn't amazing for snorkeling not very good visibility. Other than that it was an amazing place.
Review 10:It was amazing how secluded it was and there were very few people on that part of the island.
Review 11:Had some jellyfish encounters in the sea, swimming at low tide a bit difficult- but nothing to do with resort
Review 12:Right by the sea, great food, lovely owners, great for solo travellers, easy socializing in restaurant
Review 13:The boss is bis own guest, but the other employees make up for it. Kitchen menu could be explained better. Prices a bit too high but still reasonable.
Review 14:Nicely decorated Beach bar, thorugh cleaning daily, very tasty cuisine.
Review 15:This can be positive or negative, depending on how you look at it. Being next to the coral and many rocks at low tide you have to get deep inside to swim or snorkel but when the tide is high is great and you see more fishes than you would see if there were no rocks :) Esto puede ser positivo o negativo, depende de como lo mires. Al estar junto al coral y muchas rocas cuando baja la marea te tienes que meter muy adentro para nadar o hacer snorkel pero cuando la marea sube es genial y ves mas peces que si no hubiera rocas :)
Review 16:It's amazing how much you can relax and disconnect there. Aew and the father are great people, Aew's English is great. The food is very tasty and reasonably priced. Very happy! Es increible cuanto puedes relajarte y desconectar alli. Aew y su padre son personas geniales, el manejo del ingles de Aew es fenomenal. La comida es muy rica y a un precio razonable. Muy contentos!
Review 17:The urinal behind the restaurant needs more privacy so guests don't have to watch the men pee.
Review 18:We loved the seclusion and peacefulness. Our cottage was lovely and the food was amazing!! The owners were extremely helpful. Rent a scooter and check out the beautiful island, with three unique and interesting little villages.
Review 19:Complimentary water in the bungalows would be appreciated.
Review 20:Fantastic place to get relaxed. just perfect to be in the nature and just next to the beach.... U is super manager, she is handling very professionally and know how to make guest happy. Each wish was granted.Mum was the Chef and we had absolutely great meals. Can not be better to enjoy time with a book or diving experience.
Review 21:The location is perfect; right on the beach whith the shade of some trees. The food is really delicious and the family is really trying to mae your stay as comfortable as possible.
Review 22:Not hot water in bathroom.
Review 23:Excelent place. The owner is also an excelent person and she did her best helping us. I am very thankful!
Review 24:Very nice place. We had a wonderful time .Aew and her family is very helpful . The food is very good.
Review 25:Nvt
Review 26:Very nice and kind people. Very helpfull. Nice location.
Review 27:Perfect place for reasonable price located just by the beach, great food in restaurant, friendly people, and beautiful views.
Review 28:Great place to unwind and do nothing great staff good food and cold beer. Good place to hang a hammock under the tree
Review 29:Internet conncection needs to be improved
Review 30:Really nice and helpful staff. Great food. Beautiful environment. Relaxed atmosphere.
Review 31:You can only swim early in the morning, rocks everywhere!! Quite far to the next beach, its very nice to relax but nothing happens on this island so it depends what you prefer
Review 32:Great staff and the bungalows are really nice, very peaceful
Review 33:Only electricity (and wifi) between 18-1. Can be hot in the nights and the fan is not working after 1 (for there is no electricity anymore)
Review 34:Friendly accomodation on a beautiful spot.... If you allow yourself to do nothing for you can only swim, eat and read. Bungalows are clean with good kingsize beds. Real good deal and great food!
Review 35:The wind was strong in the evening. You will hear noise made by the monkeys while sleeping. If you want to go directly to Koh Phi Phi, you can skip Koh Jum.
Review 36:It's a really nice family resort for solo traveller or couples. I met precious friends like Jasmin and Jennie here. BTW, the food was amazing, especially the coconut milk shake and fried rice with pineapple. If you want to enjoy a quiet vacation, choose coral bay.
Review 37:If you need something that is not sold by the other resorts or they have run out of it, you could either take a taxi or rent a motorbike to visit shops or the other side of the island. Take your time as the roads are quite bumpy.
Review 38:The location and the resort is perfect! If you want a laid back vacation, this is the place. Everything felt quiet and relaxed, the people were nice. The beach is rocky but there is clean path 50m from the resort where it is possible to go for a swim. The other resorts on the beach also sell some basic items (some sunscreen, drinks, etc).
Review 39:The resort is located right in the north of the island, which consists of a rocky beach. However, I didn't mind, since you could always go for a swim once the tide was high enough. Another thing, I didn't like too much, was that the huts were only cleaned every 3-4 days or so. With the used toilet paper and sweaty sheets, it would be nice to have the rooms cleaned a bit more often.
Review 40:"You", Tam and their family took great care of me. "You" speaks very good English and can always help you out with information about good bargains, price estimates etc. I loved that there weren't that many huts. Even when the place was fully booked, it still felt nice and quiet. Moreover, the food was amazing, except for the occasional "no have"incident, but that has been the case anywhere I went in Thailand. Definitely try the great curries, papaya salad and shakes. I had a great stay and met the nicest people there. I can only recommend that female solo travellers go there, if they don't mind hanging out with families and couples.
Review 41:Our stay here was excellent at less than £14 a night for two of us it was great value for money. Eaw and Dam were really good hosts. If you want somewhere chilled with good beach and great food look no further.
Review 42:The beach is very rocky when the tide is out. There's nothing around the resort just a couple if other bungalows. Only shop is at end of the beach. Only way off beach is via a dirt track road. Taxi to other end of Island is 200 baht each, better off hiring moped if you can handle the 'road'! None of these things bothered us.
Review 43:Food was really good there especially the omelettes! Beautiful location. Felt like our own private beach and resort. Family that run the resort are really nice especially Yu. Extended our stay by 3 nights after booking for just three. An amazing tropical getaway with nothing to do but relax.
Review 44:Extra ordinary good kitchen - everything prepared fresh. Friendly family run business. Stones at undide are not that bad, because 50 meters on the left side nice beach and water entry. Very relaxing......little paradiese!!!
Review 45:Amazing location! Great helpful staff! Internet and electricity only of a night, but when your there it is thee last thing on your mind! Beautiful stay with excellent food! :)
Review 46:Cold during the night in February. Could not sleep well. A hammock would be nice (other resorts have them). About 1km (not all illuminated) from the dirt road leading to town.
Review 47:Good restaurant. Nice bungalows, not too far from the beach.
Review 48:Nothing ! Thank you again for this wondeful time with you ;-)
Review 49:We really had a great time during our 4 days/nights at Coral Bay Resort. You'll be pampered by the whole family. You don't go there for luxury pretentious equipments but you go there for the quality of the welcome, the time you'll spend, and of course the food. Yes, this family-run-business is amazing, they will do all their possible to make your stay outstanding. Very soon you will realise how nice it is to come back to real values of life. Aew, with help of the whole family is in charge of this resort. You'll spend your day reading at the beach in the sun or in the shade of the trees, with some dips into the water to refresh (and I recommend tasting the fresh fruits platter). Breakfast, lunch and dinner is prepared with best care by Aew's mother, with fresh products. We tried to get the secret of her receipies, but didn't manage... it's just delicious ;-) If you want to discover the island, you'll be able to rent scooters a few hundreds meters from the Resort. Easy. And once you have visited the island, you'll be happy to come back to Coral Bay Resort for a wonderful sunset and cocktails at the beach bar ! Special thank you to the Captain (Aew's father) who is a master at driving the Longtail Boat on water as well as he is talented at driving a car in traffic ! Amazing people.
Review 50:We stayed here for two nights during the New years eve. It was really relaxing and quite place to stay. Loved the breakfast best i had in during our round trip in Thailand. Nice bungalows. everything was great nothing to complain about.
Review 51:That we had to leave after 3 days!! =)
Review 52:A beautiful place to stay, the friendliness of the hostel-owner is amazing, she made us feel like home, and the food is incredibly good!
Review 53:The only thing that I will give a minus was that the monkey get into your bungalow and make a big damage
Review 54:Everything was so nice here small family run resort and their hospitality was unforgettable ,all you had to do was relaxing and enjoy the very good food,and se a fantastic sunset behind Koh phi phi I can absolutely recommend this resort if you like sitting in a sunchair and read the hole day long
Review 55:Great deal - value for money. Wonderful location on a remote island. Clean and well maintained facilities/bungalows. Very friendly staff. Good food.
Review 56:Cold showers (can never get use to them). Electricity only runs between 6pm - 11.30pm. Bring lots of reading material with you.
Review 57:Accommodation on a beautiful secluded beach. Ability to relax, enjoy the sunshine and snorkel free from the hoards of tourists. My hosts were exceptional and any queries or issues with the room I had - they dealt with quickly and efficiently. If you want some peace and quiet, then Coral Bay is a good choice.
Review 58:Because of low season restaurant didn't have so much selection of food and drinks. Only chicken. But that is not big deal, because we went to other restaurant to have something else.
Review 59:After 1 month of travelling in Thailand, we found this place the best to rest and have quality time for vocation. Starting with excellent sense of hospitality of family that work there, totally none touristic place without cars, nagging to pay and buy. We had a bamboo bungalow with mosquito net, 20 meters walking from the beach. Best restaurant with really affordable price. Food was fresh, tasty and fantastic. Not so much to do on that island, but you can rent scooter or kayak. We were on a low season period, so almost no people, don't know how is it on high season. But we enjoyed that place so much and can recommend the place 100%.
Review 60:Everything was great: the food, the atmosphere. Pure relaxation and alarge touch with nature. It's a small family resort. They organizeda trip for us to the island of Ko Lanta and mosquitoes Island for areasonable price. The whole time we felt perfect and drove back withregret. I would recommend this place to people who wants to escape fromcivilization and just calm down ;) We really miss this island andresort. In 100% we back ther ;)
Review 61:No ATMs on the island or a shop within a walking distance, apart fromthis it was perfect!
Review 62:Perfect place if you just want to relax, very quiet beach, away fromthrongs of turists, family running the resort will arrange long tailboat trip to Koh Phi Phi or Koh Lanta if you want, really good food.Wonderful,friendly family is running the place.Our best expierience inThailand by far.
Review 63:Nothing to say
Review 64:If you want to escape from tourists and all the world rush go to the Koh Jum and stay in Coral Bay resort. Simply furnished cottage, bed, shower, toilet and fan, electricity only from 6 p.m. to 3.a.m. (only generator for eletricity). Nice beach with only few people. This place is created for idleness. From cottage you can heart sea and forest noises. I have to recommend it.
Review 65:Everything was great, really nothing to complain about! The food is really amazing and the family is very friendly and helpfull. But yes you are in a bungalow in the middle of the nature, if you don't like a quiet place where you can really releax far away from the mainstream than it is not the right place for you :-)
Review 66:Everything. You are met from the ferry by longboats, we were able to check in straight away at 9.30 am. After that everything is there for you! You hardly need to move. My partner lay in the hammock from 11am to 6pm only breaking for a brilliant green curry cooked by the owners at lunch. They will get fish and squid for you and every meal is excellent. Other guests were friendly as everyone eats there at night. The beach is nice, there are rocks near the bungalows but clear water not far away. You can hear the waves and the cicadas night and day, there are plenty of monkeys around too. The room is fan only when the generator runs (6pm to 3am). This was fine and we weren't too hot. We extended our stay by 2 days and will def go back.
Review 67:The bungallows ara made out of bamboo, very simple and uncofortable. Almost air-opened, they have mosquito net above the bed but not enough to prevent all animals outside. The bungallows are at the etrance of the jungle, sorrounded with lots of trees, and during the night, of course, by the animals that live there - specially monkeys. When we arrived Aew told us that the lock on the door was to prevent monkes and not people. As in any natural enviroment, the animal during the nigh are more active and make a lot of noise. Adding to the nature's noise, because the north part of the island does not have elctricity, the resort has a generator that only works from 6 p.m. to 4 a.m., making a lot of noise during your sleep. And yes this means that during the day, no electricity, no net, no WiFi, no nothing concerning electical power. This also prevents the restaurant from cooking some stuff at lunch tie. If you want to sightseeing, the only option is to go to the other end of the beach you're on and rent a motorcycle, make a dirty track road for about 3km (watch out) before you reach any kind of civilazation. So there are no other option to do anything besides eating at the resort restaurant and staying in that particular beach. It's not that bad if you want private envyroment but still gives you a feeling of captivity and trapness. If you compare with the south of the island (where you still have the Ko Jum feeling of quietness and peace) the beach at Coral bay is not particulary good, it has lots of rocks (trying to get into water may be painfull) and it's small. For the price they ask, you can find much better acomodaion concerning resort facilities and with electricity 24/7 and WiFi (once you get ther you'll acknowledge the importance of it).
Review 68:The resort is just on the beach, in the north part of the island (Ko Puh) the staff was just wonderfull, very very nice and friendly, Aew spoke very good english (it's a family resort, they also explore resorts in Ko Lanta and Krabi) and was always trying to be helpfull and making conversation. The food served on the restaurant was very good (the restaurant stays almost on the beach - beatifull view), must try the pancakes, definitely a good value. They arranged transportation direct to the resort's beach from Krabi, after asked about it, and at a very reasonable price. They also can arrange boat tripsto Ko Phi Phi and Ko Lanta, or Krabi.
Review 69:Rocky beach right in front but only 2min walk to better spot. Restaurantatmosphere poor- bad music - bad lighting- no atmosphere despite foodbeing good.service was good for first 6 days after which it was poor,room service/ supposed to be every 2 days but we did not receive anyfor final 4days- they were less friendly we think maybe because wedidn't eat there every meal time,felt unwelcome. Mosquito net wasdirty rooms could have been cleaner
Review 70:Location was idyllic,quiet beach,great food , great selection ofrestaurants along the beach , not many tourists
Review 71:Everything! This is the best place we´ve ever been to. The superb food, the wonderful people, the new bungalows and stressless location. We just loved it and recommend it to everyone.
