My husband and I and my 80 year old mother have returned from spending two weeks at the Coral Strand in April. We had a great time. We know and love the Coral Strand and have stayed here many times before. It has never been a luxury hotel. So a certain degree of disorganisation was always to be expected! At... more

Room was fine but safe in room not working. There was a cruise ship in town for two days which caused a lot of trouble for guests as this hotel has very few beach lounges and these were taken down the beach for cruise guests - some even paid the hotel staff to ensure they had a chair and we... more

It's a horrible place. It's very cheap but I would prefer to pay more and have a bit of quality. We asked for a double room but when we arrived our room had only one tiny little bed. We changed, and the 2nd room didn't have a TV, a refrigerator (was broken outside) and the safe was broken. We bought... more

We travelled to the Coral Strand Hotel as part of a 28 strong diving party, intent on exploring the waters off the island of Mahe. With the Underwater Dive centre just metres from the hotel it was an obvious location to head for. The hotel is a typical 70's built unit with the usual block bedrooms, communal dining area and... more

I have to disagree with many of the people who gave 1 star for this hotel. The hotel itself is located on an excellent stretch of Beau Vallon Bay. Hotel staff are also very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very spacious and are in fact split in 2 levels which are connected with a spiral staircase which was amazing.... more

We spent our last night on the Seychelles at Coral Strand. Walking into our room was like walking back in time to about 1979/1980. We were suprised considering that the hotel had been refurbished-I would have hated to see what it had looked like before the refurbishment. There was a lot of noise and considering that we had an early... more

Stayed at Coral Strand Hotel for about a week in September. Though the hotel has been recently renovated after the change in management, a lot can still be done. We had booked a duplex room with television (some room types do not come with TV) but were disappointed with the choice of TV channels as there were only 3 channels... more

I had read the earlier somewhat negative reviews about Coral Strand before my two week business trip but found, in my opinion, a real gem. The hotel was renovated in Spring 2008 so many of the previous comments about being "outdated" are probably moot. The staff is very friendly and the place is immacuate and maintained with obvious pride. Plumbing... more

Coral Strand is set on Mahe Beach, which is simply amazing and the hotel is built on it, so you will proably spend most (if not all of your time here). The hotel iteself is dated, but clean and comfortable. There are no Televsions in the rooms, nor are there any real activites that you can do in the evenings,... more
