• Ambivalent

  The bungalows look okay, standing in a well-kept garden, but they’re dark, dirty and leaky inside. We stayed in the biggest one with two double beds (actually the one on the picture). The staff didn’t like to carry out careful cleaning at all. During rains expect some water from the roof. The food is quite good, the restaurant is a laid-back area overlooking Chalok Lam bay. But somehow we didn’t like the place when we left. The reason was those little things that leave a bad taste in your mouth. Typical: there are no napkins in the restaurant and when you ask for some (try to eat tiger prawns without a napkin!) they provide toilet paper -- which is okay, but later you’ll see on your bill they charged for it. This is ridiculous and so petty-minded. They seemed to love money better than guests on this place! would rather stay a couple of dozen meters away in the Ocean View but not surprisingly it’s almost always fully booked. But anyway you always have to walk there because the beach is there.

• Chilled out and wonderful

  There is not a better budget place on the island. View and the beach are stunning. The vibe is just so laid-back and friendly. If you want a quiet family-run resort, this is the place to go. This is Coral Bay, Haad Khom. I am afraid that Joe Carter was talking about Coral Bungalows in Haad Rin, which is totally the opposite.

• Old skool and earthy

  I really enjoyed this place. Terrific staff and great food made the rainy days of October rather pleasant. It is really nice to stay in a place that is a bit rustic and not so posh. There is some information here: http://coral-bay-haad-khom.blogspot.com/

• Beautiful

  I think the last comment is in the wrong location because Coral Bay doesn't have a pool and it isn't a 'party' spot. We stayed at Coral Bay bungalows for eight nights and really didn't want to leave. It is such a beautiful laid-back spot I would recommend it to anyone trying to escape Thailand's overpopulated tourist spots. The food was excellent and the staff will bend over backwards to help you (there are some excellent English speakers).

• Lively

  A bit livelier than I'd hoped for, but a great place to stay nonetheless. The accommodation seemed new and thus clean and well equipped. The staff were an awesome bunch, really friendly and always encouraging people to get involved, whether it be with the parties or their boat trips. They also ran cars to the half-moon party which was a nice touch. The food was okay but the drink cheap and plentiful! The place has its own pool which was nice to relax in. My only gripe, and this might be a positive for some, was it seemed to attract big groups of loud holiday makers from back home, something I was hoping to avoid. Would definitely recommend Coral though.

• Greatest chill out

  Really cozy place. Nice people, great service. They turn off the lights at midnight, really romantic and old-school. Beautiful white sand and a gigantic swing on a palm. And delicious food as well...

  Have been going to Coral Bay for years. It's old skool Ko Phangan and that's why it's great. It's calm, friendly, chilled and very pretty. It's best to hire a bike to get in and out, though.
