Nice surroundings,pool and the beach was great if your OK with the open sewer running into it, but that is all there is to this place.I thought it was bearable but staff cant be trusted and will rip you off if you give them the opportunity.If you do decide to stay here and need some advise i would strongly suggest you seek it somewhere else.On the outside this place looked like a great place to stay,but the reality is it was the worst experience I had in thailand.I love thai people but the staff here made my blood boil.Do not be fooled by there friendly demeanor that is just there way of getting you to let your guard down.

We went to the resort and stayed in the newer rooms close to the road. it's not ideal there because of the road, but in the rooms you hear no traffic at all. There is also a small pool infornt of the rooms, but you can hear the cars pretty well. Nevertheless, the rooms were big enough and clean with a nice balcony.
Beach villas are probably the nicest.
The beach is nice, but the chairs are like the ones in the public beaches and you can't really lie down. Same for the chairs at the main pool. I find this a very important aspect of my holidays, so I was not happy with the hotel for that reason only.
The Sabay Yen restaurant has good Thai food and evening seafood bbq.

I would give the Coconut Beach Resort a 5 star rating. I suppose it depends on what you are looking for in a holiday, but it was perfect for my needs. My daughter had been before and she asked me if I would go with her this time. We were both tired, she with a lot of study and I had been very busy at work and with homelife.
We stayed in a Superior Bungalow, right on the beach, between September 26 and October 2 2011. It was the 'Green Season'. Not a lot of holiday makers about so we had the beach to ourselves most days. The restaurant next to our Bungalow was lovely, good food and pleasant staff. No, they couldn't speak very good english, but we were in Thailand after all. Their smiles and keen service more than made up for the lack of understanding. Every day our bungalow was cleaned, clean sheets, surfaces dusted and the bath towels were made into the most delightful animals. An elephant one day and some sort of sea creature the next. All the staff were very helpful and helped make our holiday the experience of a lifetime.
We wanted peace and quiet and that's exactly what we got. Choose between the beach or the little pool or go wandering up the beach and find more delightful restaurants. The breakfast, which was included in the bungalow price was fantastic. A buffet of fresh fruit and vegetables, or there was hot food if you preferred. The Chef will make you whatever type of eggs you want. My favourite was always the omelette. Yum.
Thankyou Coconut Beach Resort for the wonderful holiday and experience. I'll be back.
