CHRISTOPHER Kwasi. SEAGLO  2007-10-06 until 2007-10-11	Coral Island Resort, Koh Hae Coral Island Resort is so great a place to be at least once in a life time. what makes this island different from others is that, your pravacy is assured. no one disturbs you!!! it is a place you can swim in the sea anytime any how without fear. the rooms are great. foods and drink are secconds to none. your stay can not be completed without fishining. just rent a boat, to sunset, and fishing would be a great day in your life. if fish is your favorate like me, then just tell the staff how you want the fish to be prepared and enoy your meal just by the seaside.what a paradise on earth!!!!
Mr Martin Banton  2007-03-25 until 2007-03-28	Coral Island Resort, Koh Hae A very quiet and idilic location to stay at!The bay is very peaceful after 1500hrs when all of the tourists disapear in their longtail boats and speed boats. The accommodation is very basic but does the job and i would recommend staying in the beach front villa s as it is only 3 steps until you reach the beach,the beach has plenty of shade for those of you who cant bask in the glorious sunshine. The Restaurant isnt too hot on service and if there are two of you eating pick wisely from the menu as you tend to get your meals separately although you order at the same time!!!! A pleasant stay on the whole if only staying for a couple of days!!
Mr. Rune Lygren  2007-03-18 until 2007-03-23	Coral Island Resort, Koh Hae The pickup service was booked by sawadee and was ok from the airport. More than one hours waiting for the boat on chalong bay with 3 children after 22 hours trip... The boats is old and shuld be retired at once. When we arrived the Island the staff was wery helpfull, and they pick up all the bags on the boat and bring them to the room. The resort is a quiet and nice place and there where wery few guest. The beach is wery nice when the tide is high, at low tide you can see the corals from the beach. When you traveling to this island, do it when the tide is high at the right time, high about 1pm, we did. The water is clear, good snorkeling, but bring your own mask, no quality mask on the island. The corals at banana beach, further east on the island, is the best for snorkeling, mutch better then the beach by the resort. The food is expensive and be carefull when choosing food... you may end up on the toilet for many days...I did.. The doubble beachfront bugalow with interconecting door, lies just 6 steps from the sea by high tide, the standard is low, lower than expected, the bath rooms ar dark blue and the water in the bungalow is wery salty. No TV but thats ok, in the evening we was sitting outside talking as we looking and listening too the sea and drinking red wine. All in all the stay was nice and peacefull, don t stay here more than 3-4 night and remember the standard is low.
Ann-Christine Naslund  2007-03-12 until 2007-03-15	Coral Island Resort, Koh Hae clean and clear water. a lot of fish just afew meters in the water.good snorkeling.we had a sea frontbungalow. it was great. the restaurant was expensive.no sunrise and no sunset on the beach. nice place to stay for one or two nights.
Vinay  2007-03-02 until 2007-03-05	Coral Island Resort, Koh Hae The hotel is overall good, the rooms are clean and tidy (bunglow on the waterfront) the down side is if you want to go to Phuket for shopping of sight seeing the hotel charges a premium for ferry services, 800THB PER person for a return trip. The rooms have no TV, Internet connections, Phone and all the bath water is salty sea water, which play havoc with your hair and skin as there is no way to wash the salt of.
Michael Pellegrino  2007-02-08 until 2007-02-17	Coral Island Resort, Koh Hae Staff overall very friendly and helpful. The massage was excellent albeit very expensive and this was confirmed in Bangkok as my husband did the Thai massage course at the Wat Po. Resort is run down and not value for money spent. Pool table lousy. No TV in rooms. Shower water was salty so one could taste it. Food overpriced and mediocre. Had diarrhoea the entire time there which resolved as soon as we left. Power went out twice in the 9 days there. Could only snorkell 2 hours of each day as too windy in the morning for visibility and the tide right out in the afternoon. Coral not so good as it looks like a bit of dynamiting has occurred there in the past. Would not recommend to any of my friends.
Laura S  2006-03-26 until 2006-03-31	Coral Island Resort, Koh Hae A very peaceful resort on a lovely island. The bungalows on the sea front are the most popular and with good reason - lovely sea views and sunsets and if you are lucky enough to get one of these they are worth it. We had to go a day early due to a flight change and the resort were very good about changing the arrangements. They were also honest about the bungalow we had requested and told us that we d have to have a different one just for that night but would be able to move next day, which was what happened. As for the resort itself, it is not luxury, so don t go there expecting a 5 star resort. However, it is clean. The beachside bungalows are better than the ones on the two rows further back as we stayed in the second row the first night before moving to the beachside. There is only one interconnecting bungalow on the beach, but there are more further back. Behind the pool there are some bungalows which look much newer but all of these were vacant, presumably because they don t have much of a view. Service at the resort was pretty good. Breakfast was good when it was a buffet, not so good when it wasn t. It was getting towards the end of the season so this may be why they stopped doing the buffet. Evening meals seemed to be on a 3 day rotation. Sometimes a buffet, sometimes a la carte, but a la carte was always available anyway. considering it is the only resort on the island, prices were reasonable. Transport to the island was via speedboat, so best not to take heavy luggage as you have to hop off the boat on the beach and walk - there is no jetty. Our return journey was at low tide, which is something people could bear in mind as it involved us having to wade through the shallows, hop on a long tail boat which took us deeper out to where the speedboat was waiting. It was good fun, but I wouldn t fancy it with older people or babies. All in all, a lovely place to stay - we will go back there again, making sure we get the times of the tides right this time!
Margaret Billard  2006-03-26 until 2006-03-28	Coral Island Resort, Koh Hae I was a bit disappointed with the Coral Beach Resort. The room was okay, clean and attractive in a simple way. The water from the shower seemed to be a combination of fresh and salt water, which was a bit weird. The food was fair, at best. Breakfast was okay, perhaps the best quality of the day. The snorkelling was substandard, as the sand seemed to be continually stirred up by the changing tides. Worst of all, it was not possible to swim at the beach between about noon and 5 p.m., due to low tide. So, most of your day you cannot use the beach right in front of you. Lastly, there was an issue with my keys going missing . I am sure I left them on the table on my patio area (not a great move, but I do know where they were). When I returned from about 10 minutes in the water, they were gone. Not only my room key, but my safe key. The resort had no master key, so they had to drill my belongings out. I was charged 1,500 baht. I would not recommend this resort.
Chris Kean  2006-03-06 until 2006-03-09	Coral Island Resort, Koh Hae The hotel is a great place to relax and enjoy time with your family, or with whom ever you decide to take there. The food and facilities are very nice, we had a great time.
Gentric Michel  2006-02-20 until 2006-02-27	Coral Island Resort, Koh Hae 15 mn by speed boat from Phuket. Bungalows were what we d expect (clean, good furniture). The beach is nice with enough shadow. The sea water is quite clear and under water is very beautiful to snorkle at high tide (very few water at low tide and a lot of coral and stone : necessary to wear shoes). All people and staff of the Resort are very nice. Food are good quality with a great choice and reasonable prices (only restaurant available on the island at evening). The resort was 30% full only and most chared installations could be betterly maintened (swimming pool). We regret not to be able to use internet (doesn t exist). Also the beach is half day crowded with tourists on tour from Phuket. This is not so nice (noisy with speed boats and dirty too). The dive centre closed to the Resort is awfull (old and broken equipments, no boat to go diving around other islands, master diver who doesn t care about clients!). It is necessary to go to Phuket for diving and this costs a lot?!! We regret this point very much. The Resort is very nice for a good rest and snorkle only. Thank you to the team of Coral island Resort for its kindness. French family with 3 boys.
