Coral View Resort

The resort’s location is excellent, with a wonderful beach. We can see the coral with various fish just near the beach, especially the black-tip shark. And all the things here are super good! The staff is nice and friendly, breakfast was delicious and varied for the price we paid, and they also have a life jacket, snorkeling mask, and aqua shoes provided for guests who stay here, which is all free! I highly recommend that you stay here. (Don’t forget to try the resort’s restaurant)

Would have given 10/10 or 20/10, but there is one flaw. This place is magical. We took the beach bungalows, which is right on beach. The beach on this resort is out of this world. We have visited almost all the beaches in Koh Tao, looks wise, this one is most picturesque. It has white sandy beach and dramatic rocks in one side. Best part about this place is that the beach will not have any other people as the beach is only accessible from the resort, so you will not find random people in the beach. It is also away from the busy area, so that is a plus for many. The beach bungalows are two storied with probably 4 rooms in each level. If you stay in the corner rooms (like us), you will get uninterrupted view of the sea. The rooms are good with all the basic amenities. The bar and restaurant at the beach is truly out of this world. Sharing photo. You can spend all day chilling there. You can take snorkelling gears (complementary) and snorkel right on the beach. has good coral reefs. Complementary breakfast was good as well. There is only one flaw for which i gave it 9/10 instead of 100/10. That is the steep road to get to the resort. Overall whole koh tao has uphill and downhill roads which is manageable, even for okay scooter riders. I am an experienced scooter rider (i use regularly in a crowded city for last 7 years and have rode in mountains as well). The road just near the resort which you need to take to get down to the resort is so steep that is impossible if you want to ride with a passenger behind you. It is almost 45-60 degree steep. I was travelling with my wife. It was impossible to get down because it was so steep. Everytime I had to leave my wife who had to walk downhill/uphill for 5-10 mins to get down to/up from the beach villa, which was physically draining. There is also a sign by the road which mentioned that only 1 rider.

Gorgeous setting, beautiful beach front and lovely green area surrounding. The hut we stayed in was basic but had everything we needed for our few days there. The staff were friendly and dealt with our problems (of washing being shrunk) well. The hotel provides a shuttle a couple of times a day to the main area.

Breakfast was very nice, with some good thai options. Location is right on beach which is great. Beautiful bar on beach with great deck to have dinner and a coconut under the stars. Great food and drinks selection. Room was very spacious, and great location next to beach. Half day private snorkel trip organised by the resort dive centre was fun, as got to visit cool local reefs. We also liked the natural greenery and vegetation around the hotel.

The resort is located on a small bay with view to the shark island, a famous diving spot. This private beach was perfect for snorkeling. Next to coffee, tea, juices and fresh cold water, the breakfast buffet always offered fresh fruits, eggs custom prepared for each guest and also warm dishes like chicken curry with rice. The restaurant down at the beach offered local dishes but also fish & chips, which me and my kids highly recommend. It was a great stay away from the tourist masses, more quiet and private. Exactly what we were looking for.
