Coral Reef Club

We had a delightful and lovely stay at the Coral Reef Club, from the time that we arrived until the time that we left. the caliber of service was amazing! Everyone is so friendly and attentive. We were so surprised when we checked in. Our flight was later in the day, and it was about 11:15pm when we arrived. We were greeted with, "We thought you might be hungry and left refreshments in your room." We were and were so appreciative of the delicious sandwiches! When we left, one of the breakfast servers said, "I know this is your favorite table and reserved it for you!" How extraordinary thoughtful! Our stay included breakfast, which was wonderful every morning. In addition to the buffet with eggs, sausage, bacon, croissants, fresh fruit, yogurt, etc., it includes a made-to-order station of fresh omelets, waffles, and French toast. The morning standard coffee is French-press Lavazza! Unlike other resorts that we have stayed at, there was plenty of seating and we could choose where we sat. Because the resort is located on the west coast, the sunsets from the lounge were stunning and it was a great place to relax at the end of the day. The resort does not have many ocean view rooms; however, the entire property is a stunning tropical garden. Our room had a huge balcony with a beautiful view of the grounds. The room was comfortable. The hotel has an excellent location. After touring the island, we found that Holetown is one of the best places to stay with excellent restaurants and shopping. The hotel is located two properties away along the coast from Folkstone Marine Park which has one of the best reefs on the island. Guests at the resort are very friendly and delightful. Given that Barbados is part of the British Commonwealth, most of the guests are British. Many have stayed at the resort previously multiple times and even together year-after-year. But of course, why would one consider staying elsewhere when you can stay here? We would love to stay here again on a return trip to Barbados.

I went to this hotel in and around the end of Oct 2021 as a single woman. For all single women who are considering this destination be very careful, especially with respect to your company at the hotel and the alcoholic beverages that are served to you.

We stayed here for a week and we requested a sea facing room and got one which we were delighted with.A family run hotel with great spacious rooms and grounds.Small touches like having your breakfast in your room,keeping your room on for longer if it’s not booked and the family coming to say Goodbye on our departure made it extra special.We have stayed in a lot of hotels in St James and this is definately our favourite.We get why all the guests have been returning for years and we will too.

We stayed here for 10nights to celebrate my husband’s birthday. It’s a stunning hotel in beautifully maintained grounds and gardens We stayed in the Vinca room which had amazing views over the beach and stunning sunsets from the huge balcony Breakfast was very good served in the restaurant overlooking the beach, buffet style but lots of choice and egg station, which also produced pancakes and waffles. Staff were attentive and friendly. We only ate dinner one night it was lovely and service very good but a bit more formal than we like on holiday. It seemed a bit unusual for men needing to wear trousers in such a warm climate We also ate a couple of times at their sister hotel The Sandpiper which was less formal and very good. Housekeeping was excellent, room was kept to a very high standard and our housekeeper was very friendly There has been some erosion directly in front of hotel but there’s still easy access a few steps further along We were surprised to find that sunbeds seemed to be reserved from early in the morning around the main pool and closest to the beach with no sign of people actually using them. There were beds available on the grass which suited us fine but maybe something that should be looked at.

Coral Reef provided the perfect 5 star experience. The hotel is in keeping with the old colonial style and provides a luxurious experience. All of the staff add to the overall experience and provide just the right level of service and hospitality.

My wife and I went to the Coral Reef Club for 10 days on 10/6/24 to celebrate 50 years of marriage. We could not have picked a better holiday. The Hotel was stunning. Our room had fantastic views of the beautiful gardens, from where we could view the troupe of wild monkeys the in habit this space. The room itself was very spacious and had everything we could possibly want. We had booked half board and thoroughly enjoyed every meal in the restaurant, which was beautifully situated to give the best views of and bring you as close as possible to the beach and sea. I particularly enjoyed breakfast because of the location and views, and of course the food, and would happily have sat here all morning. ( Special thanks to Shelly-Anne and Deborah). The beach was stunning and the sea was warm. We enjoyed relaxing on the padded loungers. The beach butlers were very attentive, bringing fresh towels and jugs of iced water and always had time for a chat. ( Special thanks the Sheldon and Anthony). The hotel is very close to Hometown and is kept to the highest standard and I cannot fault our stay in any way. I would like to thank Mrs O'Hara (owner) for her very kind invitation to a cocktail party at her home on both Monday evenings during our stay. Mrs O'Hara also took the time to sit and chat to us when we spoke to her on one evening in the restaurant bar. While I have mention some staff by name, I would like to thank all members of staff at the Coral Reef for the fantastic service and for making us feel so welcome during our stay which is, without a doubt, one of our most enjoyable holidays ever.
