John Tran  2007-10-08 until 2007-10-15	Samui Cliff View Resort & Spa, Coral Cove Beach This fairly new resort in Samui offers some of the best views on the island. The resort is ideally situated between Chaweng and Lamai meaning that it is close enough to everything you need but just far enough away to offer peace and tranquility. The resort staff are very helpful, happy and keen to assist despite the language barrier. We booked a bungalow but had to move to a highly unit because the showers in the bungalow were not fully enclosed. There is no issue of lack of privacy here. Simply that (1) because it s not fully enclosed we noticed that we found a large spider in the closet (2) geckos coming in and out and (3) ants making trails into the shower. None of these are terribly pleasant should you need to make a nature call in the middle of the night. As it turns out, the views from the higher cliff view rooms are better, the bathrooms are enclosed and strangely enough, had a better sense of privacy (as the bungalows were on the ground and with human traffic passing by). All in all, the resort was good and I would stay there again.
Xie Mingli  2007-08-30 until 2007-09-03	Samui Cliff View Resort & Spa, Coral Cove Beach This hotel offers a brillant view of the sea from morning till night. Room that I stayed in is #319. Service provided is good. Do note that as the location of the hotel is by the cliff, thus there are 8 flights of stairs to climb each time I wana exit the hotel via the lobby. Also, their bedroom slippers are chargeable. THB150 each pair. As guest, I was not aware of it at all as there was not obvious indication.
Cathy Newton  2006-12-31 until 2007-01-02	Samui Cliff View Resort & Spa, Coral Cove Beach We would not recommend a stay here. The rooms are lovely & the owner is very nice but the complex is so new there are lots of teething problems. For example, our bathroom stunk of the drains & our electricity failed twice! We spent New Year s Eve with various handymen coming in & out trying to fix it - in vain. We then had to spend our stay using the bathroom in the dark! The other concerns we had were the poor organisation of the Excursions woman. We booked a boat with one of the staff to Koh Phanghan - & when we queried that it was late picking us up, the Excursions woman was very rude to us saying we had never booked it, she had been doing her job for 4 years & insinuating we were lying!!! We then had to arrange it again ourselves. The reception manager was watching all this & did nothing to intervene or help us. Finally, the accomodation refers ro itself as a Spa - this a gross mistake as there is no Spa!!!! Apparently it is being biult but it is very misleading to advertise yourself as a Spa before you have one! To sum up, we found much better value for money elsewhere. For the owners sake, we hope it is a success but they first need to sort out the electrics & drains, build the Spa & train his reception & excursion staff on customer service.
