Nice little quiet hotel, bike to ride to the airport viewpoint

Good

The hotel is located at the quiet Mai Khao beach. Swimming is great in the season upto April, after that it's too dangerous with strong currents and high waves. It has a nice relaxed atmosphere and provides large rooms, swimming pool and gym. One can also grab a bicycle to explore the village and Temple. The bicycles however, need urgently to be technically checked and adjusted. Good breakfast selection and offers for dinner.

We have mixed feelings about Coriacea Boutique Resort. First the good: The staff were friendly and their English was way above average for Thailand. The location is one of the Coriacea's many mixed attributes. It is quiet, and near the airport, which is good. It is also a mile from anything, which is bad. Our options were the expensive hotel restaurant, or drive somewhere. This place just doesn't have enough facilities to be so isolated. The beach is beautiful, but useless. The sand is too soft for long walks, even near the waterline, and the shore break is too steep for pleasant swimming. There is nothing to see with a mask and snorkel. (We tried.) So the beach is only for laying in the sun. Ditto the sunset. It was beautiful, but mostly blocked by a line of trees. The pool was fine, but nothing special. At this price, we expect a swim-up bar, but there is none, and the poolside bar was closed. The building is in great shape, but the AC in our room could not keep up with the midday heat. The shower has a great view of the pool and the ocean beyond, which I love, and it had lavish hot water. It would be the perfect Thai shower experience, but the drain was slow so my feet were two inches deep in water. Free breakfast was included, but it was not the usual buffet. Instead, it was a menu we could order from. The food was good but the portions were small, and since it was "free," we felt too guilty to order the 6 entrees it would take to make an American-sized breakfast. Overall, the Coriacea Boutique Resort has lots to offer, but at this price we expect more. We probably won't come back.

First time staying here and was pleasantly surprised being close to the airport thought it might be noisy but it was the opposite,far enough away to barely be noticible but close enough to walk down to the iconic planes taking off and landing to get that photo,the beach is beautiful too.I just want to mention the resorts staff are very friendly and accommodating,the breakfasts are amazing,no pre-made food,all cooked on demand, the menu covers just about everything including tasty Thai cuisine,the coffee is made by a qualified barista and was perfect,there's so much to like about the coriacea boutique resort being close to the main road restaurants and eateries,the resort offers free bicycles to explore the area too,the pool is good enough to do laps and also a small gym,I enjoyed my morning runs along the running track along the foreshore.,I'm definitely looking forward to staying again.thankyou to all at the Coriacea boutique resort
