I was here in May, and while it is a resort hotel for French tourists - mainly families - this was not a problem. I came as a backpacker and stayed 10 days.
A wonderful place set in beautiful gardens and coco tree plantation. A great pool if one wants it and easy access to an empty beach.
The rooms (I was moved) were great; clean, modern but with a traditional edge, with great bathrooms.
The staff were friendly and helpful and the French managers the same.
I have read reviews stating that if you aren't French you get overlooked... Well hey, learn to speak up is all I have to say...While bi-lingual, I always used English and I was not part of the package tour crowd, and experienced no problems.
It is a package tour hotel, thus at certain times of the day, one has to expect that the restaurants will be full with those who have half board or more...there are other places to eat.

All in all I give it 9/10. A great place to relax and recuperate.

Coral Hotel deserves 5 stars for its beautiful grounds and pool, and the fact that you can walk 30 seconds between the pool, restaurant, cafe, and beach. That is truly relaxing.

It drops one star because of the room. We were in the hotel addition in the back and I recommend that you reconsider your hotel choice if you are given this assignment, and especially room 21. I instantly was depressed walking into it and we dreaded returning to it. The room is cramped and dark; it is built around a big bathroom cube. You have to creep around the master bed to get to the second half of the bathroom (sink/shower). There were no drawers and one little shelf to store your belongings so we left our suitcases on the floor and made us feel more cramped. The vanity, tv top and round table were covered with hotel stuff and left us zero space for our own. For a family of 5 in this room, there was a single chair to sit in. The mezzanine where my 3 kids slept was without windows and always pitch dark, my 12 year old fell down the stairs and my daughter tripped over the inexplicable ledge at the top of the stairs. Dangerous too.

So we flung open the dark dense curtains on the main floor to see an even more depressing sight: corrugated roofs of our neighbors, the other hotel addition, a water tank and a cabin's roof. We couldn't bring ourselves to sit on the balcony. It was an awful view.

A resort room should be airy and pretty, with a pleasant view. This was probably the worse room I've ever stayed in, outside of China. Built around a bathroom! You must see it to believe it!

A second star is lost because I felt that the hotel is not upfront on their website or in their emails about the accessibility of activities. I received a long list (check-off list) of activities from snorkeling to local visits. I told them up front that we chose this hotel so we can snorkel at the closeby islands and even asked to book in advance. They did not respond to that. However, it turns out that without many resources or outsourcing to more boats/guides, this small hotel offers about 4 activities per day. And no luck to you if it is full or not your choice. If I had known this, I probably would have chosen another hotel. We snorkeled half as much as we had wanted.

My frustration was compounded when I kept on getting the run-around. I asked about snorkeling on one day and was first told that we had to wait and see what the weather was. The diver told me flat out that no dives were to be scheduled for that day. I asked for an alternative activity to replace it, and was told that I couldn't schedule anything, even for the morning, because it was our last day (despite leaving midafternoon). I asked them to reconsider and she finally got impatient and told me no: visit the Buddha cave or nothing. Yikes.

The resort is lovely, and alone in its privacy really, on this section of the beach. I wish the room was as pleasing as the surroundings but it really subtracted from my vacation. Missing out on intended snorkeling was not great, either.

Lastly, if you haven't yet noticed all the French reviews, this really is a Frenchie kind of place,with the set menu for lunch being right out of a French cafe. We saw mostly pensioners and families with very young children from francophone countries.

Hmmm, I wonder how hotel management is going to argue against my review. It seems like they have little empathy for personal opinions.
