loved it

My son & daughter in-law bought me a stay at Coral Grand resort on Koh Tao via Agoda last year to give to me on my 65th birthday, which was at the beginning of this year.

When they gave me my present I started looking into the reviews for the place since I had never been to Koh Tao and I was of cause very curious of where I was going to stay.

I must admit that I started getting a little nervous after reading some of the reviews for this place, but agreed to myself that I would not let a few bad reviews ruining my holiday.

I arrived to Koh Tao via LOMPRAYAH (local catamaran) from Koh Samui and was met by 3 young gentlemen holding a sign with my name and a few others. We were immediately directed to the taxi’s that would take us to the resort. I was taken up a few steps to the reception/lobby area where they were waiting for us with a small glass of lemonade and helped us check in.
The Sailor cottage that I got had a very nice vintage look to it. Cozy, cleaned every day, comfortable bed, nice toilet shower facilities connected with a few steps which I thought was a nice tropic touch to the whole feel. Over all, I liked my room very much.

The beach was absolutely stunning and clean. 2 guys were working very hard every day to maintain this area of beach, which was definitely not the case in front of the next door resorts.

A nice in house restaurant with lovely Thai food and western dishes. In house dive center with staff that was ready to help and accommodate with everything. I wasn’t diving, but I did get help and advice to where I should go snorkeling and what to see, and where to go in the evening on Koh Tao.

I have been travelling a lot in my time and I thought this was worth all the money. Great location, Great staff, great food on a great little island. What more can you ask for. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone regardless of age, single or couple.
