My stay at Coral Island Resort had its ups and downs. The location is absolutely stunning, right on the beach, which gives it a beautiful charm. However, the cleanliness and quality of the rooms left much to be desired. If you're seeking a basic beach experience and don't have high expectations, you might enjoy it.

My room was old and not clean, with signs of wear everywhere. The bed was uncomfortably hard, and the overall condition was disappointing. I've seen better accommodations elsewhere in Thailand.

The resort's beach location is gorgeous, with beautiful waters and a lovely sandy area. Despite the crowds of day-trippers, the area feels like a private escape in the evening.

The facilities were basic and clearly past their prime. The pool was swimmable, but the overall amenities felt outdated and in need of refurbishment.

My stay at Coral Island Resort had its highlights and drawbacks. The beautiful beaches and friendly staff made for a pleasant experience, but I found the accommodations a bit dated. The dining options were inconsistent, and the resort's remote location restricted my ability to explore the surrounding area easily.

Coral Island is truly stunning with fantastic beaches, but being on a remote island made it challenging to go on day trips. The ferry schedule limited my options for exploring the mainland.

Dining was just okay. While the grilled fish was good, I often had to deal with flies eating outdoors, and the menu was limited at times.

I recently stayed at Coral Island Resort for two nights in a beachfront bungalow. The location was absolutely stunning and offered great beach access, but the accommodations felt a bit outdated and in need of maintenance. While the scenery was beautiful, the dining options left much to be desired, making my experience a mixed bag overall.

The bungalow was comfortable enough but definitely showed signs of age. The bed was uncomfortably hard and the blankets were on the smaller side. I also noticed some cleanliness issues, with a moldy smell lingering, which detracted from my stay.

Absolutely gorgeous! The beachfront location was the highlight, especially during the quieter early morning or late afternoon hours when I had the beach nearly to myself. I also enjoyed the nearby snorkeling, though it was sad to see how tourism was affecting the coral.

Dining here was disappointing. The quality of the food didn’t match the prices, and breakfast options were pretty basic. It felt like a missed opportunity for a resort setting.

The facilities were okay but seemed neglected overall. The pool was enjoyable, but some basic maintenance is clearly needed. I was also put off by the policy against outside food and the high rental prices for snorkeling gear.

Coral Island Resort has stunning beaches and friendly staff, making it a relaxing spot. though the facilities and dining options could definitely use an update. It's more backpacker-basic than a luxury resort, and the location can limit your day trip options. Overall, it was a decent getaway, but I wouldn't want to stay for too long.

Coral Island Resort has stunning beachfront views and a nice selection of international and Thai cuisine, though certain aspects of my stay were quite disappointing. The staff were friendly despite the language barrier, but the overall experience felt more backpacker basic than what I expected from a resort. Unfortunately, issues with cleanliness and limited food options detracted from my stay.

The resort's facilities felt dated and neglected. Basic amenities, like drinking water, weren't reliably available, which is concerning in such a hot climate.
