Horrible Ugly dirty hotel with roaches -
The hotel is beyond dirty and old. leakage in the bathroom, not working remote, dirty sheets and towels, no phone in the room in case you need help. All was reported nothing was done. noise and screaming people in the corridors all night. I woke up at midnight and could not go back to sleep. the bed was very itchy. as I was staring at the wall itching all over my body, trying to think if there are bedbugs and the cost involved if god forbid i bring them home with me, i saw Mr. roach crawling on the wall. I killed it and called a cab at 3am and woke up my young son and waited at the airports instead of going home with skin disease or god knows what. The problem the staff were polite.. I bet they get paid pennies!! anyways.. do not stay there.
leakage in the bathroom.

So old, plain, dingy, and loud. Was there for approximately 8 hours and it was too much. Taxi there from the airport was cheap and quick. Otherwise, terrible. Teeny bathroom, no water pressure, no hot water, hair in the sheets, stained sheets, old/chipping/dirty furniture.

We had a great stay at Coral by the sea during our trip to the island, especially given the circumstances surrounding the 3-day power outage during New Year’s Eve. While the island struggled with no power, this hotel had a generator that kept everything running smoothly—allowing us to have light, water, and air conditioning, which was a huge relief! The pool area was lovely and a great place to relax, and the staff were consistently pleasant and accommodating throughout our stay. It’s clear they prioritize guest comfort, even in challenging situations. Overall, we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and would recommend this hotel for those seeking reliable service and a peaceful retreat. Would definitely return!

This place it’s very old. Extremely hard to find late at night. Small and the rooms don’t have working TV, no inside phones so you can’t call reception if you need anything. Beds not very comfortable. The elevator it’s from the 1900

The place is old and dingy. The toilet flushed sometimes and the shower tub filled up. The hot water spot was hard to find and getting the faucet into the off position was hard to find. Hardly any outlets for charging. Rusty fridge, old sink and everything else seemed old and needed replacement.
