Coral View Resort is located on Haad Sai Daeng, an idyllic
golden sand beach on the south coast of Koh Tao. There are only two resorts
that share the beach which is just a stones throw away from the infamous
Shark Island, regarded as Koh Tao's best dive site and amongst the finest
in the Gulf of Thailand.
The Thai and Australian couple who manage the resort are so hospitable
that it has been listed in the both English and French guide books whilst
the beautiful cove of Sai Daeng provides the perfect picture of paradise.
Whether you want to spend your days exploring the amazing underwater
world on your doorstep or relaxing on a secluded beach, Coral View Resort
fulfils all your desert island dreams.
ACCOMMODATION
:: Hillside Chalets Villas ::
There are six Mediterranean style bungalows that are also located on
the hillside with fantastic sea views. Each unit has two bungalows that
are well built and positioned to ensure your privacy; they all have
ceramic tiled floors and fly screens on the windows. Two of the rooms
have two single beds and the remaining four rooms have double beds.
These bungalows have western style toilet.
:: Traditional Island Hut ::
There are ten traditional island style huts positioned on the
hillside, situated amongst lush tropical gardens with romantic
winding paths. Built in wood with generous balconies, all of the
bungalows have great sea views and a double bed as standard. These
island huts have western style toilet.
:: Beach Front Family Rooms ::
There are ten luxury suites with mini-bar and western style toilet,
fully furnished and beautifully decorated with ceramic floor tiles,
fly screens on the doors and windows and big double doors opening out
onto the balcony. They are positioned right on the beach and have a
double and single bed in each room.
RESTAURANT & BAR
The Coral View restaurant is an amazing structure that is built into
the hillside amongst huge granite boulders. It has scenic views out
to nearby Shark Island and two different levels offering a great variety
of seating options to enjoy the excellent food or wind down with a beer
or a tantalizing cocktail.
The upper level houses the main dining area whilst the lower level has
a pool table and traditional Thai raised seating area. The experienced
team of chefs are equally at home cooking both Thai and Western cuisine,
using imported cheeses, spices and herbs for authenticity and only the
freshest vegetables, meats and seafood. There is also a beach bar, which
is the perfect place to cool off after a hard day sunbathing or stargaze
to the sounds of the sea lapping up on the beach.
SERVICES & FACILITIES
The resort has its own dive shop running trips to all of the best local
dive sites; and with Shark Island just a short distance from the beach,
it's a great place to take a relaxed dive in a small group. There are

LOCATION
MAP
If you're looking for things to do and see around Had Sai Daeng, the
south coast of Koh Tao is well connected and in a good position to explore
the island. The region is fairly mountainous away from the coast, and
there are a number of trails and walks to follow; the beautiful beach
of Aow Leuk is just 15 minutes walk away and Chalok Baan Kao, the local
village with a busy beach, is 20 minutes walk in the other direction.
Here you'll find a variety of local shops, restaurants and bars;
a few of which throw regular parties. Venus Park, the island's biggest
and most popular nightspot is also within walking distance, but fortunately
the hills ensure that it is well out of hearing distance.
There are several great viewpoints in the region and also numerous other
attractions including the King Rama V Rock just outside Mae Haad Village
which is 10 minutes drive away and is the main port and centre for Koh
Tao. Mae Haad has grown from humble beginnings into a bustling market
place, with a host of restaurants, boutique shops and loads of bars.
It's a great place to spend the day shopping or go for a night
out and it's also the main point of entry or exit on Koh Tao; so its
proximity makes leaving a little bit easier, though when you arrive
at Coral View, you'll wonder why anyone would ever want to leave!

This is a great spot on Ko Tao. Rooms are good, food is great, lots of ambience with bar on the beach. Great spot to relax for a couple of days and good for snorkelling if the sea plays along.

Absolutely fabulous place! Small private cove, great swimming and snorkelling. Food excellent at restuarant on the beach, and diningroom. Management and staff were warm, friendly, and extremely helpful.
Would return and spend a longer period there. The diving was also excellent with a very competent and helpful dive team. overall just fabulous!

My family and I had a truely wonderful time. The 10 days were too short. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food is excellent, especially the local dishes. It won t be everyone s cup of tea though. Facilities and roads are quite basic and it all runs to Thai time. If you want European standards, stay in Europe. If you can be relaxed, you can t do better at these prices. Diving is good and Neil, who runs the dive show, is very helpful and has outstanding instructors.

very great location, quiet in the unhabitant part of island, the road is very up and down on a very dirty road track, you need a 4X4 to go there about 4km from the pier, but great seesight when you are on top of the hill;
our bungalow was great, on the hill with sea view and little terrace, good bed, fan, but a very small bathroom, with very dangerous stairs, very slippy.
the restaurant is quite good but not at the level of the hotel, and expensive.
the bar on the beach is great.
But bad point the staff is very up and down. I went there to dive on shark island, but in 4 days impossible to find the staff of diving and to book a dive.
the hotel taxi to pier is 100bth/way/pers and just 2 (8h30-13h30) hour to town, just incredible sometime 8pers on, THey make money with! an outside taxi is 300bth, and no other solution to go outside. that s a problem, you have to eat at the hotel or to take a night taxi from town, so much expensive.
we had a problem with some staff, they didn t make our room in 2 days they wait the 3 when we took the taxi to the pier. but no chance i put my padlock on the door, before taking the taxi i saw 2 guys trying to open it with many keys and after a moment open it.
I run and ask the taxi to wait me, and go to see this men who had open my room.
Very furious i want an explication and how they opened the door. they asked me that they are here to make the room, and they had open the door with a key they didn t found.
I aswer what a joke, if i put my padlock i have reason, and you don t have material (towel etc...) to do the room.
So i close the door with my padlock and go to town.
When i came back, what a surprise, the room is lock, not my padlock i have the key, but the door, and the key is inside.
i go to reception very furious, to see what happen, i explain the situation sure with bad english, i was furious!!, they made like they don t understand and made exuses sorry to clean the room Sir. i answer But how you had open my padlock, and why you came twice and lock the door, why you came with no material?
Sorry to clean the room Sir, we think that you leave the hotel.
I aswer stop playing my T-Shirt and my short are outside to take sun. It s not a good explication.
Sorry Sir to clean the room.
Ok, they give me a new key, so i go back in the bungalow.
The room wasn t clean, just new bottle of water.
no i m sure they came twice, new bottle, the door lock it s not me or my girl friend.
We did a check up of our stuff nothing miss.
But we leave this Hotel the morning after.
To strange for me, and i don t looking for problem like this.
TO resume great location, nice room, bad staff, expensive restaurant, and far from town. Good to relax and do nothing but take care to your stuff, and the bill if you put your order on it.
It s not my case i always pay cash after order, but they tried to play with some order i didn t made on bar (it s impossible to have a ticket), no chance me and my girl friend always write what we order in a little note book.
I don t like this, we go away, fuck the place was great.

The location is pleasant but not easy to reach; Once there you are a little trapped. So the day free was spent on a boat for snorkeling. The restaurant is average and the welcome a little abrupt.

The hotel is located in a beautiful cove.
the Island Hut are simple and comfortable, but the cleanliness is poor. The musty beds and fans are too low.
Nice restaurant, menus correct, very nice beach bar.
Taxi to the city essential in view of road conditions, but pays off!
Rental fee of masks and snorkels which is a little aberration.
Dive club very professional and friendly dive in small groups.

A room was ok, although it was a bit warm!! The beach is not only for hotel guests, but also some come from somewhere for visit as a day trip. It is not really silent beach.

This resort was so lovely and we d definitely stay there again. one of the nicest beaches on koh tao, extremely friendly and helpful staff and a fantastic dive course.
If you want peace and quiet, you ll love this place.
Taxis into town take about 15 minutes and cost 4-500 baht on average. If you take Coral View s taxi (twice a day) it s 100 baht each.
If you want to party every night then you ll have to pay a bit to get in and out of town, so bear that in mind.
Loved it here!!!

Coral View Resort was absolutely wonderful! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, it was a family atmosphere throughout the resort. When we got on the ferry to Koh Tao, they came and picked us up, even though we had not asked for it before. Just felt very welcoming.
The beach was incredibly beautiful and the coral reef some way out entertained both children and adults throughout their stay.
We are already planning to go back there next winter.
I can warmly recommend Coral View Resort to anyone wanting a quiet and peaceful holiday.

I ve stayed in a Mediteranean villa for 3 nights and have suffered a 1h power outage the first day and a water shortage the second day morning.
The bathroom is a bit shaby and could be improved.
Free pick-up at pier but be ready to wait a little before going to the resort as they do some shopping for the restaurant before going to the resort..
The place and the view from the bungalows are very nice.
Good cocktails at a good price during happy hour at the beach bar.
The beach is very nice and is a good snorkeling spot. Small sharks may be encountered in the early morning.
The close Shark Island is a very good snorkeling spot, easily accessible by kayak or during the day snorkeling tour.

I m not recomend this hotel. Rooms are dirty and very, very, very used. Located on beautifull beach but very far from civilization. Transfer goes to town 2 times only. In 8:30 and 1:30 p.m. Latest return in 3 p.m. back. Forget about shopping and night life. Road to hotel is !!extremly!! dangerous even in dry weather, even when you using quadro ATW. That is why you can t fint bike or ATW rent in hotel. Beach is beautifull but not comfort. Lot of stones and corals on the bottom. Staff is not friendly. Save the bills from restoran. Otherwise will be surprised on check-out. Prices in two restorans are normal.

The location is great in terms of views. It is very serene and the staff were all lovely. Is not ideal if want to get to the main town (sairee) as it is quite difficult to get to. However they do provide taxis to and from sairee twice a day at 100 baht each way, which is a good price for travel on koh Tao.
The room was good only problem was sewerage smell came from the bathroom and made the room pong.

A must stay resort if you are in Koh Tao. I was travelling on a budget and managed to be able to stay on the most beautiful beach, in absaloute paradise for very little cost. Staff were friendly and I left feeling really lucky to have chosen such an incredible place to stay.

wer Ruhe und Erholung sucht ist hier richtig. Bei gutem Essen in schöner Umgebung kann man die Seele baumeln lassen - und in der Abendstimmung ein perfekter Cocktail an der gemütlichen Beach-Bar.
Tauchen mit den Coral-View-Divers ist sehr zu empfehlen, da nur in Kleinstgruppen getaucht wird. Dive-Guide Jo vermittelt viel Spaß und kennt sich mit den Lebewesen unter Wasser gut aus.
