cove of Haad Sai Daeng provides the perfect picture
of paradise. Whether you want to spend your days

Restaurant:
The Coral View restaurant is an
amazing structure that is built into the hillside amongst huge
granite boulders. It has scenic views out to nearby Shark Island
and two different levels offering a great variety of seating
options to enjoy the excellent food or wind down with a beer or
a tantalising cocktail. 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. There are PADI courses available and also
snorkelling, fishing and boat trips. Coral View Resort has glass
bottomed kayaks and snorkelling equipment for hire, a variety of
beach sports and can even arrange water skiing for thrill
seekers. 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. |

If
you're looking for things to do and see around Had Sai Daeng,
the south coast of Koh Tao is well connected and in a good
position to explore the island. The region is fairly mountainous
away from the coast, and there are a number of trails and walks
to follow; the beautiful beach of Aow Leuk is just 15 minutes
walk away and Chalok Baan Kao, the local village with a busy
beach, is 20 minutes walk in the other direction. 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! |
