An amazing hotel in a stunning location

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

Wow! We had an awesome 4 nights stay! Our room was amazing with fantastic sea views - clean , comfortable and well appointed. All the staff- housekeeping, bar and restaurant and the guys that monitored the sun loungers were really friendly and helpful ( even providing jugs of ice water etc).

Just returned home after an amazing stay at the Coral Reef club & cannot recommend it enough. We can actually find not one single fault it is just perfection. The staff through out are excellent so friendly they make you feel so welcome, the rooms are so spacious & comfortable & beautiful decor & the views wow honestly we’ve never stayed anywhere as relaxing with first class service . We will definitely be back next year.

Nice hotel - shame about the drains and the customer service.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

We stayed at the Coral Reef Club for 2 weeks - the hotel and amenities are all very nice and staff lovely however during our 2 week stay our room (Petrea) was plagued by drainage issues, we had plumbers in and out of our room for a few days, we had sewerage smells for several days and we had either a blocked drain or blocked shower for all that time (it alternated). Clearly the issue was unresolved when we left. Every time we asked about the issue at reception we were assured it would be fixed imminently, it was not. But at no point did anyone offer us a change of room or any compensation or a written apology of any kind - having contacted them since our return we still have not received a satisfactory reply to our concern. So in essence the hotel is lovely but the customer service leaves a lot to be desired for a hotel that is meant to be of this standing.

Poor quality overly expensive restaurant, and unnecessary dress code

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

The hotel was very nice, and the location is fantastic. The staff were mostly friendly but the unnecessarily rip off cost of food ruined our stay. Breakfast was $60(US) per person per day - I'm not one to watch costs, but there were six of us - $360(US) per day for 10 days simply for breakfast would have been ridiculous - especially as half of us would eat a croissant and a coffee. We ended up going into Holetown most mornings to a fantastic cafe. Similarly for dinner, we ate out at fantastic restaurants like Lonestar and the Sea Shed rather than eat at the over priced, and frankly sub-par hotel restaurant. The final insult was being (politely) told that I had to wear long trousers and couldn't sit in the hotel bar in the evening wearing tailored shorts and a collared polo shirt, despite paying about $2500/night for 10 days for three rooms!

No place on earth like the Coral Reef Club

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

I was honestly contemplating keeping this secret and not writing a review for this incredible resort, simply because I'm worried about increasing competition for future reservations! CRC never disappoints. I have been coming here since I was four years old and continue the tradition now, in my sixties. Speaking to other guests, you quickly realize that this annual pilgrimage is shared by almost everyone—a testament to its enduring appeal. What sets CRC apart is its ability to evolve: it has been able to update and improve the property while never losing its original soul and charm. This is a truly remarkable feat at a time when most luxury resorts are indistinguishable from one another. The minute you walk through those lovely yellow doors, the warmth of the kindest staff welcomes you, and the relaxation immediately begins. This place is unique; it is like a second home to its dedicated repeat guests. The true heart of this paradise is the CRC family. To the O'Hara family, Nigel, and every member of the staff who makes this resort so special, thank you for everything.
