Great service from Lubima!. Me and my partner booked to stay at coral beach hotel and resort, the hotel was beautiful and majority of the staff were brilliant. We received particularly incredible service from Lubima, she was incredibly attentive and made us feel extremely welcome within the resort during our stay. We never had an empty drink and she went above and beyond for us always having a conversation with us about our day and great reccomendations. We had a night where she wasn’t working and the difference from the service we received was greatly visible. Having to ask staff for straws after they brought our drinks over and the overall lack of attention from some. We ended up going back to the room early due to the hassle it took us the get peoples attention. The buffet was the best by far we have experienced from any all inclusive hotel we have visited over the years. The a la cartes however, I’d not recommend to anyone with allergies or dietary requirements. They have 3 set menus for each of the restaurants, which the mezze was more attentive than the Asian for slightly changes. We’d recommend just going up the road to the coral bay strip for better options. We came for a 21st birthday celebration to which we went to the spar and all staff were incredible. A very relaxing atmosphere with great care for all. We recommend, if you have booked to stay here, to head to the bar and have a drink as well as a conversation with the lovely Lubima. Which then you’ll have a great evening at the resort with superb service.. .

Great few days away of sun and relaxation. My friend and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights for her 50th birthday and we thoroughly enjoyed it! We are both seasoned travelers and are pretty choosy when it comes to hotels but I really can’t fault this place. It’s got the perfect balance between traditional Cypriot character and higher standard hotel (i.e not the clinical soul less type of five star where you could be anywhere in the world) . Staff were so helpful and welcoming and genuinely friendly throughout, and they worked really hard to make guests stay enjoyable. We had a garden studio sea view room it’s so worth upgrading to this! Large room can just walk out patio doors and within 20 yards onto small private beach a little pebbly but fine, sea views from the room was so lovely and to have a swim in the morning first thing before breakfast we loved! Plus we had our own sunbeds to use on your own patio area. It was hot even in later November, 27 degrees and the sunsets are stunning! Because it was November the hotel I’d say wasnt at full capacity so I don’t know what it would be like in peak summer but for us plenty of room to move around, large grounds tennis courts snooker room, the spa is good a little dated inside jacuzzis and sauna areas but still relaxing, and great indoor pool. There is also a well equipped gym with free weights and machines which we loved, TRX and small yoga studio. We weren’t all inclusive so cocktails and drinks were as pricey as UK but I think that’s the same everywhere now. Food was delicious! Breakfast buffet fantastic big selection not the usual tired buffet fresh good food, and good standard. Children’s play area and water slide. We didn’t use pool but heard it was cold I guess being the time of year, I prefer the sea and beach so it wasn’t an issue. Sea was still lush to swim in! Yes there are areas that are a bit dated but personally I think it adds to the traditional charm of the hotel, and as our room was well equipped and had great bathroom we were very happy. We took buses from outside hotel into Pafos visted archaeological sites and had a wonderful seafood dinner at the end of the harbour area. Paddle boarding and other water sports available at hotel. A fantastic mini break and celebration of my friends birthday and great to get some winter sun sea action, thank you so much would definitely return especially as it was only a 30 ish minute taxi ride to the airport, easy travelling!. .

Awful drinks package! Cheap cheap wine!!. This is not a 5 star hotel. The entrance foyer is opulent but the room we stayed in is tired. The all inclusive drinks package was dismal. The offered cheap white/red awful 8% abv at most. Ive never not enjoyed the drinks package in a hotel. The drinks waiters were very slow, look bored and rarely smiled.. .

Overall very good experience. We've just spent 9 days in Coral Beach Hotel with my partner and here is an honest review: First of all, the staff in this hotel is absolutely fantastic, they treat you like family and go above and beyond to make sure you're happy and smiling. They are incredibly helpful and will try to solve any problems. We felt good knowing that we can always go to anyone for help but especially two members by the name Moustafa have been very kind and helpful and always made us happy and smile even after a long day. And then there is a staff member named Mohamed Saqr, he also works in the lobby bar. He is an absolute gem, also making us smile everytime we see him, asking how we are and if we have any problems, he will try and help. The staff always had time for a chat and good jokes. Honestly cannot praise the staff enough - i hope the manager knows that and sees this. This hotel has the best staff that i have ever met, so so much respect for them. On the beach bar there is Abdul who i sometimes felt bad for as i saw some tourists being very rude and arrogant, we always smiled at him and had a little chat and left small tips. He had a very big smile everytime he saw us and always asked how we are doing, such a warm kind human he is, we will miss him. Honestly, even though you pay for your all inclusive holiday, basic manners do not cost much, these people work long hours in the sun to make sure you get your drinks and you're happy. One of the biggest reasons we are coming back to this hotel is because of the staff. Please be kind to them and remember they are people too. Even just a smile and a thank you will go a long way! The cleaners did a very good job taking care of our room daily, even left nice surprise decorations made from the towels. We also saw multiple times only one cleaner cleaning many rooms, they also work long hours clearly so we always left some tips on the bed, we truly appreciate all the cleaners and the work they did, thank you! Hotel is very beautiful, i have seen some reviews about the construction and aged rooms but honestly i can not agree, we liked our spacious room very much and the construction did not have any affect on our holiday. The resort is beautiful and is very well secured so no outsiders will get in. Beach is amazing, there is sunbeds for everyone, there is more than enough. You can rent snorkeling equipment for only 5€/5hours and snorkel around the coral reef at the resort. Fresh juices are 2€/juice or you can buy a pass when you get them cheaper. Food here is okay, it is pretty much the same every day but to be fair, i have travelled a lot and it is like that in almost every hotel i have been in. But if you're not picky eater, there will most likely always be something for everyone to have. Marina & Senzo Mall also have nice restaurants, especially Friends bar and restaurant in Marina and Chili's in Senzo Mall, i do recommend both 10/10. Some useful tips for your holiday: Do not get into a random taxi on the streets, always book through the hotell staff at the reception and remember to give your room number. It's also good to discuss the price before taking off. Taxis ordered by the hotel staff are safe and there was some very nice drivers, especially one who used two different names, Ramadn/Ali. Always smiling and giving good tips for us, as well as fair prices. He can also take you to a "cheaper" pharmacy and cigarette shop, both are good quality and safe tho, i think they are for the locals so that's why the prices are good. If anyone takes you to a shop that's named Nefertiti where they give you like a numbered badge to wear, avoid. We bought a few snacks and cigarettes and they charged us 106€ (about £93) If you don't want people trying to come to you about selling stuff at the beach, ask for a red sign from the towel center at the beach, you can tie it to the sunshade at the sunbeds. This signals to sellers that you wish to be left alone. The drinks include in the all inclusive in my opinion were 10/10, very good cocktails and good beer and wine. Overall this hotel is 9/10, one point missing as they had a school kids trip to this hotel on the second last day and they took lots of space from the pool and the lobby bar, they were loud and splashed water on everyone around. I do not know why school trips need to happen in a hotel when there are paying customers but each country to their own, we had good time regardless and will be coming back. We are from Finland, that just wasn't in the options when making this review.. .

Will go back. Had two weeks at hotel in November . On entering front of hotel very impressive but walking through foyer to terrace WOW you could be anywhere in the world. Now room a bit dated three door wardrobe should make shelving in right hand robe , was cleaned every day and towels changed. Food plentiful and had the use of 5 special restaurants all good, the bar and terrace very good, sun beds plentiful one concern they should put a white line at start of every set of steps as can be dangerous. Overall very nice hotel and staff and sunsets to die for. .

Home from home with added sunshine 🌞. This was our 7th visit to this hotel. It’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy a quiet holiday. The staff are absolutely fantastic. So very good at making you feel so relaxed and comfortable. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. The food is very varied and the theme nights gives you plenty of options. The rooms are comfortable and housekeeping is excellent. The bar staff deserve a special mention. Always attentive and respectful. A lovely place to be and I hope we will be there for many more holidays.. .

Disappointed stay. Having been to the coral Beach 8 years ago & enjoyed our stay, this stay was so different. This hotel is not 5*. Some staff were great and others were slow and lazy. Had to wait so long for drink orders we went up and ordered ourselves. No teaspoons in main restaurants, having to ask for sugar most times. Shocked at how small the glasses were and how small the drinks were. This one really annoyed us AIR CONDITIONING TURNED OFF HALF WAY THROUGH OUR FIRST WEEK! November or not we are not local and therefore needed that. Turn it off at end of season ! So today was woken by drilling and banging at 7.30am and continued banging , drilling , smashing etc as the decide with only two weeks till season closure that they would start clearing stuff away and doing maintenance! Hardly any entertainment either! Food was good. Damn disappointed. Won't be visiting again.. .

Very good with a few minor issues. As far as I’m aware a 5* rating for a hotel is down to the amenities, such as swimming pools, saunas, gym and other facilities. It does not mean it is rated 5* by guests. In addition those who have issue with the location clearly have not done a bit of research, as I’ve never known a hotel to move during a stay, apart from a minor earthquake. The Coral Beach is nice, with a large outside pool, a smaller indoor pool and by the sea if you prefer. Entertainment is fairly low key, but perfectly fine and public areas nice. Staff were very good and attentive. Rooms are large with often a huge comfy bed and lovely views, but the one I stayed in was a little tired, with dirty marks around the bathroom door. Drinks with the all inclusive were also good and you have to accept that they may not be named recognised brands, but this is generally the case with all inclusive. Food was generally good, lunchtime the best, although there are definite issues with keeping items hot rather than lukewarm, particularly during evenings. The hotel makes little attempt to enforce rules. For example, evening meal requires a dress code. Nothing too fancy and whilst there are tiny signs by the restaurant some chose to ignore, while most make an effort.Therefore slobsville sometimes operates, with shorts ripped jeans and bikini tops allowed. Why not put a big note in the welcome pack reminding people. I don’t really care myself, but others do and if you have rules enforce them ! Also there were occasions where children were running around in the restaurant, with elderly persons present and parents who couldn’t care less, making no attempt at control. I did also wonder why there were children of school age there out of school time. Again examples of parents who couldn’t care less. A good idea if the hotel had a rule of no children over school age out of term time. All in all this is a nice hotel, with a few minor issues and as a guest rating 4+ stars.. .
