I had a wonderful experience at Coral Cay Resort! The family room configuration was perfect, allowing for some privacy with separate sleeping spaces. The staff were incredibly accommodating-especially when I faced an unexpected delay in my travel plans. The restaurant offered delicious meals, making our stay even more enjoyable. While I didn't use the amenities like the pool or gym, I could tell they were well-kept. Overall, great value for money!

I had a pleasant week-long stay at this hotel. The room was spacious and the bathroom was a decent size as well, not to mention the lovely swimming pool that added to the charm. The buffet breakfast was excellent value for money, and the staff were very accommodating. On the downside, I did have some disturbances with noise from a neighboring dog and planes flying overhead, which affected my peace and quiet.

We had a lovely stay overall, with our unit being clean and spacious, and the staff going above and beyond to accommodate our needs. However, we were a bit disappointed that we couldn't find any cutlery or crockery in our room, which made breakfast a hassle. The price felt a little high, especially considering some missing amenities, but the friendly service made up for it.

My experience at the hotel was quite mixed. The grounds were generally well-kept and had a nice atmosphere, but my room had significant cleanliness issues that really detracted from my stay. I appreciated the spaciousness of the room and the comfortable beds, yet the service fell short, particularly regarding communication about amenities and housekeeping. Overall, it was decent value for money, but I'd expect better upkeep for a four-star rating.
