Coral Blue beach

Despite the negative reviews on booking, we decided to go ahead and book this hotel, thinking "how bad could it really be?" After all, we are experienced travelers who have stayed in all kinds of hotels around the world. As someone who works in events, I spend at least 100 days per year in hotels, so I figured that even in the worst-case scenario, it would be tolerable since we were only staying for one night. Well, let me tell you, our experience at Coral was something else... and that's why I've decided to share our experience in detail to help others avoid this expensive and terrible experience. To start off, when we arrived at the hotel, the receptionist seemed quite annoyed by our presence, which was definitely not what we expected from the front desk of a summer resort. Despite booking two connecting double rooms for around 200 euros per night, we were given a small two-bedroom apartment that looked more like a cheap guesthouse from the 80s than a luxury hotel. Next, we went down to their private beach, which had umbrellas and sunbeds for guests. However, the sand around the sunbeds was filled with trash. When we asked the waitress to clean it, she told us that we had to do it ourselves. After a heated argument, the manager reluctantly agreed to have it cleaned, but not before asking for our room number. A few minutes later, the same waitress approached us and informed us that we either had to pay 10 euros for the sunbed set or spend a minimum of 3 euros each on drinks and food. We explained that we were guests of the hotel who had already paid 200 euros for the night, but she insisted that we had to pay for the sunbed set or order something immediately. We have honestly never encountered a hotel anywhere that charges its guests for these kinds of facilities, let alone have their staff demand immediate payment.

I will never go back to this beach again. I have so many negative things to say that I don't even know where to begin. Flies were buzzing around the food, making it very unappetizing. There is never enough food for everyone, and every day something is missing like milk, bread, eggs, and fruits. It's absolutely disgusting 😠. They don't provide enough umbrellas and sunbeds for everyone, so people have to arrive early in the morning to reserve a spot. Additionally, the beach is not kept clean.

The hotel is generally very nice with beautiful rooms, including luxurious ones and lofts. However, in the evening, there is a lack of hot water. Additionally, the beverages, such as coffee, taste salty due to poor filtration. The hotel only requires better management to fully showcase its beauty. It is an ideal choice for families, and its prime location right in front of the beach is superb! However, it should be noted that the pool is not as large as depicted in the photos.

The hotel is ideal for families, and the food at the hotel is exceptional. They offer a wide range of options every day, including various delicious Greek dishes. The beach, which is conveniently located right next to the hotel, is incredibly spacious and provides a safe environment for young children to play throughout the day. However, it's worth noting that there is no cleaning service available at the hotel or on the beach. Additionally, the staff tends to be slow and not particularly helpful.

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at in Greece. The facilities and rooms are old and do not match the photos. The rooms are not clean, with smashed mosquitoes everywhere and stains on the bedsheets. Our room was only cleaned once during our 7-night stay, and I had to speak to the staff in order to get it cleaned. The quality of the food is very low, with only convenience food offered at dinner. Breakfasts are always the same, with French toasts, scrambled eggs, and convenience pastries. They don't even provide water during breakfast. There is an issue with the tap water at the hotel, as it tastes very salty. Even the coffee has a salty flavor. There is not enough parking available. The Wi-Fi signal is poor. The nearest supermarket and restaurants are approximately 2km away from the hotel. The only positive aspects are that the hotel is situated by the beach and has its own private beach area. The overall quality is very low considering the high price.
