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.

All of the rooms are new or well-maintained and set amongst lush tropical gardens that have gracefully matured over the eight years that the resort has been open. There are three designs to choose from at various rates to suit every traveler's budget; ranging from luxury beachfront suites to Mediterranean styled bungalows and island huts for the authentic Koh Tao feel. All of the rooms have en suite bathrooms and are fully fitted and furnished for your comfort. The resort is well planned with plenty of space in between the bungalows to ensure total privacy. All of the rooms look out over the bay with spacious balconies and stunning sea views.

Coral View Resort has three different types of rooms, providing a variety of good quality accommodation available at a range of prices to suit every budget. The resort has been designed to fit into the wonderful natural surroundings with the rooms spaciously positioned throughout the large tropical gardens ensuring privacy. The majority of the bungalows are nestled into the hillside with stunning sea views across Shark Island and all are less than 100 meters from the beach, the new suite rooms are all beachfront.

There are 26 rooms in total and all are new or well-maintained with fan and western en suite fitted bathroom as standard. They are also fully furnished, have generously proportioned balconies.

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.

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.
 

When you're not feeling too active, there's Satellite TV with video to chill out in front of or catch those all important sports events and the resort also has internet and international phone and fax services. There are car and boat taxis available, a laundry, money exchange, Visa and MasterCard facilities and a small shop with all life's necessities.

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!
