The beach in the pictures are true, it's a lovely sight. But, this is not a silken walking beach. rocks and coral make "strolling" unlikely. This beach like several on this island are not what you would call swimmable as the coral and rocks are numerous. Beachside rooms are quiet basic, certainly not luxury. They are in an 8 unit... More

I would go back to this beach for the snorkeling alone! -very very relaxing Cons -far from the main beach. If you want to go, they send a... More

My wife and I stayed here for 7 nights from the 19th March 2012. We did choose a basic hut (# 4) and found it extremely comfortable. The fan was adequate at night and although we spent most of the days, on early starts, diving, we felt refreshed each morning. The resort staff were very friendly and the Dive shop... More

Away from the busy scene in Haad Sai Ree, this beach has comfortable basic bungalows. No ac, no hot water. No shopping. Only sandy beach and very good shallow water protected coral reef snorkeling. The food was ok. The people running it were nice. The dive shop had a dedicated instructor, nice equipment and a longtail dive boat. Small groups... More

Although you may initially feel like you have discovered an exclusive paradise, you will soon realize that you are a captive on an overpriced slice of beach. We paid a deposit on a week's stay here, but within an hour of arriving became aware that not only is it difficult and expensive to travel into town, but you are beholden... More

Stayed at Coral View for 6 nights in January . The best valued accommodation is the bungalows on stilts , however its a shame that there is no balcony and that cleaning is only done every 2nd day due to `staff shortages `. Should you be able to afford it the bungalows on the other side of the resort do... More

a friend we met in samui said we should stay here, so we reserved a room over the phone. Was very good value for money and some of the huts located higher up had amazing views of the bay and shark island, which you can catch boat trips out to at dusk and watch the sharks feed. The rooms were... More

The four of us shared two adjacent 'Mediterranean bungalows' which worked well, although it was quite a long way around to get from one to the other! Basic and only just clean, a bit run-down. Nice beach, but poor snorkelling and low tides made swimming difficult at times. But we did see a couple of sharks! Nice restauarent with great... More

We stayed at Coral View for 4 nights in August. If you like a quiet beach, this place is great. Restaurant's view and food were excellent. The staff were super-friendly and very helpful with information. My only complaint is the bed in our room. Uncomfortable! Maybe we were just unlucky with the bed that we got in our room, but... More
