Coral Reef Club

We’ve only been here for 3 days prior to a cruise in Explora 2. I wasn’t expecting to find the Hotel I’ve always been looking for. It’s the perfect mix of luxury and authentic, heartfelt service. We’ve travelled extensively and how ever luxurious the destination has been this is something I don’t think we’ve experienced to this degree elsewhere. So many staff who have been here for years and are clearly proud to be part of this hotel family and are obviously emotionally invested in this place. Our cottage - Frangipanni was as gorgeous as the name suggests opening onto lush Caribbean gardens, the beach and turquoise sea. The food is first class - better and less expensive than some of the long standing fine dining restaurants we visited. We celebrated my birthday and our anniversary whilst here and on both occasions received a thoughtful gift and card. We are amongst the few “first time” guests here on this occasions but we fill be back sure!. I would say that the website does not do the property justice but given that it seems pretty much everyone who stays her once returns and returns maybe you don’t need it to! In summary, I don’t think there is any where better to stay on the island. Until next time you lovely people!

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 have recently spent 12 days at the Coral Reef Club and I just had to let you know how utterly wonderful everything was. All the staff – without exception – were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was first class and all in all my stay was just what I needed! My room, Banyan, could perhaps do with a slight re-fresh, but that is the only (slight) negative that I experienced. So I will definitely be back! Thank you everyone for making my solo stay so wonderful!

Second visit. As have previously visited coral reef. Wanted to take the time to say how much we enjoyed our stay. We had the privilege of staying 10 nights in the Luxury cottage suite. Great size with separate living room and spacious bed room. Very clean . Maid came in daily to clean change towels and make bed. Then again later in early evening for turn down where towels where changed again. Great service. Which is continued throughout coral reef. staff are friendly and helpful. From the waiting staff to the boys work at the beach . Breakfast was fabulous and indeed any food we had. A few lunches and dinner. Were exceptional. the vibe at coral reef is chilled and classy. We enjoyed our walks along the beach every Moring that can extend along for 3 miles of lovely coast .Taking in a coffee or drink in the few beach clubs along the way. The bar and restaurant area is just stunning . We sat most nights watching the sun go down. Coral reef is unpretentious, however a classy place. I cant fault it, and we can wait to go back A

Really lovely hotel,................ unfortunately, I personally found a couple of the staff to be rude and totally inappropriate! ...............which made the stay an uncomfortable one!............ I must add 98% of the staff were helpful, respectful and friendly.
