Absolutely incredible stay at Coral Resort! 
The location was perfect - close enough to everything you need but private and serene. The staff was outstanding - friendly, attentive, and always went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed. Our room was beautiful and spotless, with stunning views. We loved waking up to the sound of the waves and falling asleep to the cool sea breeze. The resort itself was impeccably maintained with gorgeous pools and plenty of space to relax. We can't wait to go back! 5/5 stars!

Paradise Found at Coral Resort

First of all, the name is misleading. The Coral resort by Reef was sold by Reef to some locals who renamed it Malibu Hostel. It seems like Coral Resort was foreign owned and thus the new place bears no resemblance to the past. 

Overpriced rackety shacks with bad mosquito nets and no hot water, not even a fridge. The food at the restaurant is simply disgusting. There are plenty of good food options around. 

Expensive Dump with the worst food ever

We stayed here with my girlfriend for 6 nights in December 2017. When our ferry arrived to the main beach we had to wait 2.5hrs for the promised free boat to 4k beach and there was no one to tell us about it. We had to go around the main beach and ask local people to find out that there is maintenance ferry running once a day where we can hop on to reach 4k beach. The bungalows are OK, no AC no blanket no hot water but it's okay, not really worth the money tho. The worst part is the loud music which the staff blasts even though there is no one at the bar. People come to 4k beach to relax and it is not really relaxing that you have to hear super loud music until 23-00 in the evening and wake up at 5.00 because rooster is screaming under your bungalow. I told the staff that the loud music is really killing the atmosphere but they didn't do anything about it.

Nice beach but the loud music and facilities are ruining it.

We came by ferry to Koh Rong from Sihanoukville, then waited at the meeting point so they could get us to that part of the island. The person from the hotel was punctual, but we had to wait for about an hour more, since they were waiting for supplies. We were the only guests. It was us and other workers. It was more like a boat for supplies transportation. Once we got to the beach, we were surprised there was a wooden raft that took us from around 500 meters from the beach, to the beach. We were relaxed, but all this trouble could be a problem for other people (or maybe us in other circumstances), considering there is a dock on the island, and all this trouble is unnecessary. We asked and they said it was not property of their hotel. So we finally got to the island on the raft, and they were taking their supplies to the bar in front of us, so we thought that was our hotel, but we were wrong. They guided us for around 500 more meters to the right in order to finally get to the hotel. At this point, it was already dark so we had to use our phones as lanters, fortunately our big luggage was in Siem Reap, and we had only backpacks for the 4 days we were staying. Why couldn't they at least bring us in front of the hotel. 

When we saw the lobby, we asked to pay one night and pay the rest the next morning, which was a good choice because we had to cancel the rest of the nights of our stay and go to other great hotel we found (we made a review about it if you're interested). 

The room was a nightmare, the floor was all dirty, the curtains are a fabric cut in half and stapled to the wooden wall. The bathroom was another nightmare. The towels were stinky. There were actually plants growing inside the floor of the room (not for decoration purposes). Gekkos, ants, and other bugs were with us during the night. There was a mosquitoe net that we didn't even want to touch. The door closed with a lock. We couldn't wait to get out of there. We ended up in another hotel nearby having dinner, fell in love, and decided to stay there next night. 

When we decided to leave, they were kind. Service was friendly, but this hotel needs serious cleaning and better management. 

Where to start 

We got 2 plates of raw fishes. They where not just a bit raw, they where absolutely raw!!
So after a while we got got them back heated and where just uneatable!! 
They were so distasteful we couldnt finish the lunch.
We ate the same dish (fish + chips) at Reef on the beach also by Reef Resort (a bit more expensive (6.5$ in Coral 5.5$) and is was good. 
Can't understrand that, but there must one owner but completely different kind of food.
I do not recommend!!

We got raw fishes!

Avoid this place! Terrible, noisy, messy. The owner and his team are very rude and ignorant people. 
We found this place at booking.com and some of the reviews were very good. We didnt have time to read many of them and especially older ones. Which was a big mistake.

After one night we really don´t understand that this place exists and is still running. I hope every person will write a review and they will be closed soon. 

There is a list of things we didn´t like: 
1) very very noisy, it is impossible to sleep in this "resort". The bar is running by a group of young men who look very suspicious from the first look. Very poor English, dont care about all the needs of guests, every night they turn on the music, some kind of annoying techno... Even if you go there and ask them to turn it down, they don´t care or turn down just for few minutes. 
2) the towels and blankets are kind of disgusting, we didn´t want to use it
3) there is lots of rubbish, old pipes, cartons, bags, etc next to bulgalows. On the beach on the left side is a "mountain" of rubbish and stuff used to construction
4) it is SO OVERRATED!!!!!! It should be max 20 dollars per night. How they can charge 109 $ per night with breakfast??? 
5) the owner is mean rude person who has no idea what is hospitality, kindness, client service, nice communication
6) Wifi is not working properly
7) the food is very poor and if you see the kitchen you really dont want to eat anything. We ate in different places on the beach
8) the bulgalows are very basic, horrible door and locker, many holes in the floor and walls, no door to the toilet, the walls in the bathroom and disgusting, dark brown marks, dirty etc
