Coriacea Beachfront Boutique Phuket Resort

Direct access to the beach although cannot swim during the rainy season (too dangerous). Therefore it is nice with a swimming pool! Spacious rooms. Nice and dedicated staff. Calm and quiet surrounding (except the planes now and then, but not a big problem). Bikes can be borrowed for free (e.g. to go to the village center a couple of kms away or for a small ride around).

A bit too much mosquitoes.

Great hotel , friendly staff , we were welcomed , they even upgraded our room for a sea view room that has nice views , the room was clean and nice swimming pool. We enjoyed our stay at this hotel.

Proximity to beach and airport

I arrived about 9.00pm and was hoping to get something to eat, but kitchen was closed. I should have checked.

The beach is very close to the hotel (1 min) and the beach is stunning! Very pretty. Free bicycles, book crossing, free beach towel and a beach mat, also there is a (rain) umbrella in the room. No deposit needed. Sometimes free snacks around 4 pm in the corridor! That was nice. The staff was nice in general (except for one time in the restaurant).

The breakfast is very poor and very limited what you can get yourself. You can ask for additional food from the menu (free), they have eggs, sausages, pancakes and other things there but none of it was good. Also it’s quite annoying and humiliating to ask for every piece of food and you have to wait a lot. There is no coffee machine. You have to wait for someone passing by with black coffee and sometimes there’s nobody. Once I asked for cappuccino and waited for 15 mins. Since then preferred black coffee with cold milk (a lot faster). But the worst part about the breakfast is that it’s so hot in the restaurant in the morning I almost passed out. There is nothing to breathe in the room and very very hot. There is a road between the hotel and the beach and most of the day tens of motorcycles drive through. It’s loud, it smells, and they play loud music. So the rest is not peaceful in this hotel. There are always red flags on the beach and no guards. We didn’t know if we could swim and soon realised nobody cares for these flags and they’re never removed. The seabed is very steep, if you can’t swim properly I would not advise this beach, there’s no bottom already 1.5-2 meters from the shore. There are no sun beds and no umbrellas on the beach. The tap water is a little salty so if you want tea in your room, use bottle water. The room facing the forest is quite dark.
