The Coral Reef is a true Carrbiean Delight. In my eyes it is the only true alternative to the 6* Sandy Lane. We arrived and were instantly greeted personally by the owners. The receptionists are very helpful and all the staff posses the true carribean charm. The room was faultless, clean, and well equipped apart from the missing television. The... more

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at this beautiful hotel. The O'Hara family and their excellent staff looked after us superbly throughout our stay. We stayed in a luxury junior suite with a large balcony overlooking the sea where we took breakfast each morning and cocktails late afternoons; always the best times of the day in the Caribbean.... more

Like other reviewers have commented I don't get the negative reviews on this hotel either. We've stayed there for a number of years and everytime the hotel exceeds our expectations. The staff are delightful and friendly - they will go out of their way to make you feel welcome and safe. The hotel is spotless - the rooms are SO... more

Strictly for the discerning! I have been lucky enough to stay at The Coral Reef club twice this year. On both occasions the standards were excellent, staff efficient and friendly and the ambience relaxing. The O'Hara family who own and run this hotel, add their own brand of magic to make this my favourite hotel worldwide. Coral Reef is a... more
