Don't Go!

Mar 2012, Anna P

My baby came down with severe gastroenteritis and is still not better after several days, now my husband has it too - the resort was rife with it.
Gardens and pools nice, although after talking to some other parents it seem that the staff were not taking their cleaning responsibilities seriously.
The service was good, the staff friendly and helpful (especially if you tipped them!). Location ok, but we went for snorkeling so gutted the underwater environment resembled the Med e.g. desert-like. Room ok, airer would have been good.

We,ve just got back.Found all the staff great from the cleaners up to the managers,everyone of them was welcoming and helpful.
The food was good with a lot to choose from.The pool area was kept clean,only bug bear was the pool bar closed at 5-30 and the pool at 6.When the temps are hot you want to be in the pool for longer

Im very surprised by some of the more negative reports about this hotel. I came home yesterday and will definatly be booking to go back.
I have no complaints at all. The food was great, especially the 'Mermaid' at lunchtime. Ok, its a bit different from what you get at home but whats the point in booking to go abroad if you only want McDonalds?
The staff are helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The place is spotlessly clean. Wonderful swimming pools and great location. I was there with my sister and her 2 young children, they loved it and cant wait to go back.
If there was one negative, it would be the evening entertainment. That was quite poor and we spent a lot of time simply relaxing on the terrace and having a drink.
Its not Magaluf and wouldnt be great for groups of young people but thats great, no drunks, no trouble, just a nice relaxing location.
We are going bcak.

A Christmas Break
7 / 10

We stayed at the hotel from the 22nd to the 30Dec 2009.
We fancied some sun through the Christmas break.
So first the weather- 24-30degC nice and hot, a little windy but still warm at night.
The hotel was exactly what we expected, comforting, large and two nice sized pools with the beach a walk across a path.
The food was well presented and as long as you looked, varied (it was a little better than the pontins yacht class).
The room was Spacious and clean, although the shower head was troublesome.
Entertainment was a little iffy, but it's a cheap hotel, what would you expect.
Service was ok, bar staff were attentive and got to know your drinks.
On the subject of drinks- the locals are not permitted alcohol so branded spirits and lagers are not on the menu, own brands are pretty dissmal, but this is the case in most hotels and the larger franchised pubs serve named brands at a price!
For a cheap christmas break it ticked most of the boxes, infact we're going back to egypt this Christmas (different hotel).
This hotel would definitely be on the recommend list, just don't pay too much for it.

we stayed at coralsea reort in jan 2010 absolutely no complaints the best holiday in 30yrs of travelling staff friendly hotel spotless food good manager seen testing food temps and cleanliness of dishes hotel obviously belongs to first choice so its expensive and u cant book the hotel yourself so no cheaper options and no competition for first choice would go their for a month at a time if it wasnt so expensive to stay their first choice shouldnt have the monopoly on this hotel

Just returned home yesterday from my 3rd holiday at the Coral Sea Resort. It was absolutely fabulous!!! Our family of five included two 13 year olds who loved the holiday and everything about it. The food is better than ever with more choice for a variety of different tastes. The hotel remains as pleasant and clean as uour previous visits and the staff are really helpful and treat you like royalty. As for the entertainment, the animation team are fantastic! They really made our holiday and I would like to thank them all for making this visit a truly unforgettable one. We were staying at the resort at the time of the Volcanic erruption in Icleand and thought that both the resort and first choice/thompson handled this very well and did all they could to help. This was another amazing holiday at the Coral Sea Resort, hoping to go back for a fourth time very soon!! It's a great holiday for everyone, I would 1,000,000% recommend this resort!!
