Staff were very friendly and check in/out was smooth. Room was fairly dirty and hadn’t been deeply cleaned. Sofa and chairs had visible dirt marks on them. Bathroom tile had not been cleaned for some time. Overall size of room was great and shower was fantastic. Not a bad place to stay for the price/location and with some cleaning, it would be a 5 star rating.

Place is very outdated, couch in our room was covered in stains. Our bed and pillows were very uncomfortable. My two kids had to sleep on the pull out couch and it too was very uncomfortable (most are). Thankfully it was just for one night. The location and pool were the good parts. Right on the beach and the pool was clean.

I never get a vacation first of all. I will be in debt for years over this but I wanted to celebrate my daughter’s 18th and Highschool graduation. Upon arrival the lobby is super cluttered and their complimentary breakfast is left over banana bread. Finally get to room only to notice the filth on the fan blades (1inch thick of dust and grime), filthy mirror that’s never been cleaned, mold and dust all over the air unit and the blinds.. fingerprints all the over the fridge and microwave! Let’s not forget the roaches floating in the fridge. Go to crawl in bed and can smell a stench of old dirty head on my pillow and there was hair on the sheets. Had to ask housekeeping to come replace the sheets and the worker came storming in slamming stuff around, like we were a problem. Asked to have ceiling fan cleaned when we eventually ask for housekeeping? They decided to come clean the fan without permission on entering the room.. kinda felt violated! The free bike rentals left us stranded a couple of times due to the chains coming off. Wanted to do a load of laundry to have something clean to wear home and that was out of order! Such a great location but whoever is running the place it’s going downhill. A refund for at least a few of the days would be great as I will no longer book with hotels.com. Super grossed out and will never stay or recommend Hotel Coral reef

The hotel is dated. Our mattress rolled to the center and needs to be replaced. The shower let out an ear-piercing squeel that could not be stopped. However, it is in a great location, walkable to fun restaurants and coffee shops. It is on the ocean with great views from some rooms, and it has a great lanai with chairs as well as chairs on the lawn as well. The pool is fabulous, well-kept and clean, and the waterfall was a real plus. Overall, we would stay here again, but hope they update the rooms.
