This hotel offers stunning gardens and spacious rooms, making it a beautiful oasis, but the dining experience can be hit or miss, especially at breakfast. The service is generally top-notch and the amenities, including the pool and beach area, are fantastic. However, the presence of many children can disrupt the peaceful environment we were looking for.

Our stay at Coral Reef was quite enjoyable, with beautifully furnished rooms and lovely grounds. However, the service in the restaurant left something to be desired, especially during breakfast. While the food was good, the lack of attentive service throughout our stay affected the overall experience. The pool area was nice, but we did encounter some cleanliness issues during our visit.

I had an absolutely fabulous stay at this hotel in Barbados. The location was stunning, right on the beach, and the rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated. The service was exceptional, especially from the owners who made us feel incredibly welcome. However, I did have a negative experience with a member of staff regarding sunbed availability, which was unfortunate. Overall, it was a nice getaway with a relaxing atmosphere and great dining options.

We had a fantastic time at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful gardens and spacious rooms. The proximity to the beach and excellent service made our stay memorable. However, I felt the dining options could be more varied and the restaurant staff could improve their attitude, which detracted a bit from our experience.

Dining

While the breakfast buffet was excellent, providing a wide variety of tasty options, the dining experience was limited and repetitive over our stay. I found eating vegetarian became a challenge due to the lack of menu options and the somewhat unhelpful restaurant staff.

The amenities included nice swimming pools and access to good diving facilities, though the dive center could use some upgrading in their boats.
