Stayed at this property with my Wife for her 50th Birthday. Chose it from the reviews on this site and I knew the area as I had stayed at sandy Bay along the road twice! The reason we did not stay at Sandy Bay this time, was my Wife prefers Self Catering and she wasn't with me when I stayed there. Arrived at about 9pm and got checked in quite easily and shown to our 1 bed studio,and yes we were given help with the bags. The room was fine, clean,well appointed with a kitchen that had everything you could need to cater for yourselves(we ate out every night). the location is great, right on the beach and as other reviewers have put ,within easy access to bars and restaurants. we walked over to Berts for a drink and something to eat that first night. We also ate at Champers(very nice), Bellinis(excellent) twice, Berts again whilst watching 2 West Ham Football matches(we lost both 4-0) Lucky Horseshoe(no!) and Jade Garden at the gap (food was ok, lots of it, but place didn't seem clean). This was my 6th visit to Barbados and we both enjoyed it very much. Now the BUT! The noise from the road is unbearable and I don't know how other people can say it doesn't affect you. We had to stuff pillows in the slatted windows and it could still be heard and as for the waves drowning it out,well the waves were just as unbearable, I was ready to move hotels after 2 very bad nights sleep but my wife said she couldn't be bothered with packing and moving. So, I would like to say a big thank you to Virgin atlantic for the earplugs we nearly left on the plane. One other gripe,when checking out I wanted to pay cash in $US the bill had the total in $BDS and $US as I went to pay, I was told they charge at an exchange rate of $BDS1.95 to $US1,where on the bill the amount was showing at 2 for 1, they also took $US510 as my $BDS1020 deposit when I first booked. I walked to the bank and changed my $US there. Overall it was a nice relaxing ( around Blue Orchids pool) clean hotel with friendly staff, in a great location for walking to places but the noise spoilt it for us.

Just returned from an enjoyable two week stay at this hotel. Stayed in a one bedroom appartment, which was very well appointed and had all the bits and pieces we needed. The room was cleaned daily to a good standard.

The view of the sea from the balcony was fantastic and we could see turtles on one day. Breakfast on our balcony was the highlight of each day.

All the reception staff and Reggie were friendly and helpfull.

As we had a one bedroom appartment the traffic noise was not a problem, once the bathroom door was shut you couldn't hear anything from the road.

The problem we fould was the noise of the waves. Although it didn't appear to bother any other quests. A sea view appartment sounded like a good idea, but we found it impossible to sleep without ear plugs.

There was a storm last week which has sadly done serious damage to the beach, exposing a huge amount of coral. When we left on 23 March the waves were still doing some damage.

Service in the bar/restaurant was not that good, but there are plently of other bars/restaurants close to the hotel. There are also a couple of good supermarkets.

Just returned from a Fantastic holiday staying at the Coral Mist! there is nothing not to like, fantastic beach and location being just a 10minute walk to the Gap where you will find some of the most romantic restaurants in the world, not forgetting the Hotel is right next door to Champers Restaurant-absolutly lovely! The Hotel itself is clean, and worth more than its 3* it's overflowing with atmosphere and has the most lovely people to look after your every need, Reggie is cool and will be there to make sure you have a wonderful stay, as was all the staff we met.

Thank God!!!!!! Coral Mist was exactly what we wanted..A Good, Clean self catering Hotel on a beach in Barbados...Does exactly what is says on the Tin! No frills, No tartiness, No problem! Kitchen was small...
limited prep. space but the benefit of an oven as well as the other equipment. Studio Room was spacious if the need to swing a cat was surpressed! 2 adults..no problem but they say u can have a put- up bed
for another..No space IMHO. Our room was noisy - road oneside, noisy surf type stuff on the other...Rum or Banks- "No problem"!! Great holiday..Booked again for this summer
