Coral Reef Club

Lovely family holiday with teenagers after A'levels. We had 2 upper level garden cottage rooms with interconnecting balconies. It was perfect for a family as we had a double and a twin room. Great sized rooms and lovely decor. Comfy beds. Good but slighty noisy air con but very necessary in June. Great wifi. The food was fantastic. We had only booked a B&B rate originally thinking we would have dinner locally most nights but after the first dinner at the hotel on arrival and then a lunch the following day we realised it was easier and more cost effective to upgrade to half board with the hotel. The food and drinks are expensive. There also weren't many nice looking local restaurants I wanted to try. Lots of fine dining restaurants in Barbados which I'm not interested. The hotel is a 10 minute walk from a very good but expensive supermarket called Massey's. Great for loading up with crisps etc for the room and more suncream. There is a taxi rank nearby if you buy heavy things. It's a very hot walk in the summer. The hotel can book taxis for you to go anywhere. The staff at Coral Reef are great. One of the owners walks around a lot chatting to the guests and making himself visible which is nice to see. The watersports team are great. We booked a few things through them and it's very affordable for motorised watersports compared to most places. You need to pay cash for jet skis as that's an independent guy called Tony who bases himself at the watersports hut. It was US$75 for 30 minutes which is still a lot cheaper than most places. Waterskiing or a speedboat trip to see turtles was about £20 or so for 30 minutes. Those trips can be put on your hotel bill. The beach is quite receding and very rocky in most places getting into the sea. You need to tread carefully. Further down towards the watersports shack is a nicer entry point with less rocks. The sea is gorgeous. A wonderful temperature and colour. Some of the sun loungers are looking a bit tired. The hotel is beautifully decorated. Average age is definitely retirees but that could just have been the time of year. There was also a large family group of all ages with little children as it's a great family place too. Beautiful pool which I only used once but very nice. All in all, a great holiday.

Hotel is excellent in every aspect. We have stayed twice over the past 9 months and each time had a wonderful experience. The rooms, the facilities, the grounds and very helpful and friendly staff made are stays memorable for all the right reasons. We will certainly be returning to Coral Reef Club as soon as we can.

Stunning Caribbean hotel. Rooms were spacious and spotless, relaxed Caribbean vibes with large terrace overlooking the beach. Staff were friendly and helpful. We opted for B&B . Great breakfast buffet of hot and cold foods. Beach was gorgeous with good snorkelling.

We wanted to leave a review on this amazing hotel, which we hope to return to in the near future. The grounds are absolutely stunning with the tallest palm trees we’ve ever seen. They are well tended and if you’re lucky, you might glimpse a green monkey. All the rooms are spread out amongst the gardens and are perfectly positioned away from any road noise. The beach is sandy and the coral in the sea allows for an abundance of tropical fish, visible very close to shore. We never had a problem in securing a sun bed with ample shade. The restaurant serves delicious food with very low key entertainment. The Thursday bbq was brilliant and very authentic. What makes this hotel stand out is the attitude and politeness of all the staff and any Barbadian people you meet. They truly want you to have the best possible holiday and love the island as much as they do. We cannot write this review without singling out one person in particular - Nigel, who ensured that we had the most perfect anniversary possible. Thank you so much. Ian and Tracy T

Coral Reef Club was recommended to us by British Airways and it did not disappoint. The setting is beautiful with immaculately maintained gardens, well presented and comfortable accommodation end excellent dining. The team of staff were friendly, attentive and always on hand to respond to our needs. A special thanks goes to Sheldon and Carlos who greeted us every morning with a welcoming smile at the beach. In addition, Prince, Serena and Deborah ensured we were served great cocktails, superb breakfasts and dinner throughout our 9 night stay. Thank you! We completely understand why guests return year after year. We will be planning our return fin 2026 having arrived back in UK this morning. The visibility of the O’Hara family day on day, clearly demonstrates their commitment to maintaining high standards and ensuring all guests feel welcomed and enjoy their stay. Fully appreciate the time taken to greet, chat and bid farewell to guests hence the reason this Coral Reef out shines other clubs. Amazing holiday, thank you all.
