We stayed at this hotel for 1 week..was not our first choice but due to over booking this was it. The staff is very friendly and accomadating. Located directly across the road from 7 mile beach....was perfect no noise a small hotel nestled in a tropical forest...if you wanted the beach it is right there if you wanted the tranquil of your balcony it is right there. Christine and Marg in housekeeping are wonderful...linens and towels are crisp and white thanks to Devon....Louis the security gard is the best. Junior the driver is amazing...We have not one bad thing to say about this hotel and would most defenitely stay there again...tks to all see you soon....T&B NS Canada

I have stayed at the Coral Seas many times, the most recently being April 13 - 25. The rooms are very clean, the AC works well, there is security at night, and the staff are wonderful. The employees are friendly and promptly deal with any requests. The pool is wonderful in the late afternoon when the hummingbirds come out. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with many varieties of trees and plants. It is only a 10 minute walk to the roundabout in town, which saves on taxi fare. The hotel is walking distance to the Bourbon Beach and Alfreds where you can hear live reggae most nights. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

We stayed in one of the Honeymoon Suites for our stay.

What we liked:

1) The grounds were well maintained and the gardens were really nice.
2) Our room was large and the bed was firm.
3) The pool in the back is fantastic. It has a bar, pool table and men's/women's showers.
4) Plenty of hot water and pressure.
5) Room was clean.


We would like to see the following improvements:

1) The pots & pans in the kitchen really need to be replaced.
2) The toaster was broken and burned the toast.
3) The taxis park right next to the property and the noise from this was a bit loud.
4) There are several restaurants very close to the property which crank up very loud music around 10PM at night.
5) The outdoor balcony was right next to the other outdoor balcony so the privacy was not there.
6) Every time we stepped near the very front of the property we were approached by people selling everything (and we have been to Jamaica many times, usually this is not an issue on other properties).
7) Maid service was a bit too early (10:30 AM) for us.
8) The bottom sheet on the bed kept coming off the mattress all week. They need new sheets.
9) Bathroon had a funky smell to it until we cleaned out the bathtub drain to remove all the backed up stuff.
10) The sound from the road was quite loud in our suite.

Wow! What a deal! We never swam in the pool because of the expansive beach just a short trip across a 2-way street. The staff are awesome. You get a real idea of the values and morals of the country. Most people in Jamaica are trying to make money, but the staff at Coral Seas were genuine with their interests and opinions. Ask for the Negrill brochure when you check in. It really helped us to find good deals on food.

If you are lucky enough to be sitting beach-side and a thin, pretty lady with an enormous floppy straw hat walks up to you; talk with her. She, and a really respectful guy (his name alludes me) offer a great snorkling and cliff jumping trip (both optional, but amazing! and you can snorkle and not jump and/or not snorkle and then jump) The cliffs offer many different heights at which to jump from, so kids and squeamish adults can all have fun. Also, they offer all-you-can-drink Rum Punch and Red Stripe as well as Jerk chicken and fixings for lunch.It is only $50 US a person for 4 hours of crazy fun. The will even pick you up at your hotel.
Go to Negril! Don't stay at an all-enclusive resort unless you want to miss out on all the amazing things Jamaicans will do to please the tourists. They will put stuff in your hands, hat, bag, whatever...if they do offer them half of what they are asking. Then say that is all the money you have left. (We carried an additional wallet that remained almost empty to show them how little money we had left.) If they don't like the offer tell them that they can take their item (pot. bracelets, ect) back. They almost always opt for the cash rather than the item, because the mark it up so high.

We were there over their Holiday break (mostly Protestant) and many kids we selling melted candy bars. If they are in a group it is very difficult to buy from one and not the others. Most of my souvenir money went to kids. You can say "No, Thank you", but it is hard.
