Coral Cliff Beach Resort Samui

The room was right by the road, incredibly noisy, making it impossible to get a good night's sleep. The air conditioning was also very loud, adding to the noise. The sea was so far away that there were no waves to be heard. Breakfast wasn't fresh, and the cutlery was dirty. All the guests seemed to be holding onto their last shred of patience, with no sense of relaxation at all. The service was indifferent; when I asked for earplugs, they rudely told me they didn't have any.

Gorgeous views and a very green, well-maintained territory. Cleaning is excellent. Linens and towels are changed daily. The room is very clean. Breakfasts are fantastic. They prepare different types of eggs, pancakes, and offer cheese, cured sausage, vegetables, greens, ready-made dishes, and lots of fruit. The coffee is bad, but that's the only downside of the breakfasts. It's great to sunbathe by the pool; there are comfortable sun loungers, and you can order drinks and food. The music is pleasant and not too loud. The pool water temperature and showers are nice. Massages are slightly more expensive than elsewhere, literally by only 200 baht. CONS. 1. You can't take more than 1 towel at the pool. This is absolute nonsense. One towel isn't enough to cover the whole sun lounger, and it's impossible to touch the scorching hot faux leather. Just buy more towels; you're washing them anyway. What's the problem with one more or two? I really don't see the issue! 2. Internet. It didn't work at all in our room. There are apps and YouTube on the TV, but you can't watch movies because there's no internet, even though they give you the Wi-Fi password. It only works in the restaurant and by the pool. 3. The staff is excellent, EXCEPT for the older man with glasses by the pool (photo attached). He constantly has a sour face as if everyone owes him something. Disgusting. Unfriendly. Customer service is ZERO. He needs to be retired with that attitude! 4. The sea. It's non-existent. It's a quarry. Take a 3-minute ride to Chaweng, that's where the beach is. White, fine sand, turquoise water. Here, it's yellow, coarse sand, all rocks; you can't swim without a mask. Even getting in is difficult. So, if you love swimming in beautiful water, this isn't the place. And if you use a mask, which they provide for free here, it's not Zanzibar or the Maldives; it's not that beautiful, and there's not much to see. 5. Flies in the restaurant! This is absolutely horrific. There are 5-8 of them flying over your plates. And don't tell me it can't be dealt with. I refuse to believe that a guest in a 5-star hotel should sit swatting flies. Put some small repellents on the tables. They cost pennies, but they solve the problem. 6. The air conditioning in the room roars like a plane taking off. It's impossible to adjust it properly. It has no quiet mode. Replace this old thing with new ones; it's not that expensive either. 7. Near the building where our room 406 was, there's a smoking area for staff. We have to walk past this spot every day, and it's dirty, with trash everywhere, as if it's not hotel property but a backyard in a village. 8. Water temperature fluctuations in the shower. There are only two options: scalding hot or freezing cold. It's impossible to get a medium temperature.

Real Stay Review | Unbiased Opinion ✅ Pros ▫️Absolutely stunning cliffside sea views 🌊 The infinity pool is incredibly photogenic, and you can see the ocean right from your room window. ▫️The private beach is quiet and uncrowded, offering excellent privacy. ▫️Perfect for a relaxing, do-nothing getaway. ❌ Cons ▫️🚗 Getting around relies entirely on taxis; there's no shuttle service. ▫️Lots of uphill stairs, so be careful. ▫️Facilities are a bit old, and soundproofing is mediocre. You know how loud the waves can be by the sea, so bring earplugs to sleep. ▫️Breakfast selection is limited, and value for money is just average. 💡 Summary If you're looking to just relax at the hotel, enjoy the sea, and take photos, this place is great! If convenience is a priority or you're traveling with elderly people or children, you might want to reconsider!

We stayed at this hotel from January 14th to 29th, 2026. The location is excellent, with a magnificent property and standalone bungalows. We stayed in a bungalow with a sea view. The breakfast was superb, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. There are two pools with perfectly clean water, a gym, and three private access points to small beach areas. Since we had a car, it didn't matter to us whether there were shops nearby or not. Overall, it's a fantastic hotel; if we visit Koh Samui again, we'll definitely come back here.
