Coral Rock Hotel

Pros: -It was right on the beach and had a really nice view -Staff polite and helpful -swimming pool was handy as not easy to get into the sea.
Cons: -Images on the website are misleading -much nicer then the hotel is in a real life -wifi on/off - beach covered in seaweed -food overpriced
Hotel was right on the beach and had a really nice view of the beach. Shame that beach was covered in seaweed so it is a bit of a mission to get in and swim. Swimming pool came in handy then. I strongly believe they should be clearing the beach in front of their hotel as guests are coming because of the nice, inviting pics they have on their website. When, reality is completely different. Some of the staff was very polite and helpful. Room had full working air-con and fan which was more then we expected. But then again, room/bathroom is not like on the pics. Food was also overpriced. All in all, we expected to get what we saw on the pics and we got disappointed; would not go back.

Bitter sweet

Pros: location, pool, chill areas
Cons: service, wifi, restaurant
Location: loads of kite surfing mainly and you can plan a couple of activities such as snorkelling, swimming with the dolphins, parties in surrounding hotels
When we arrived, we were told we had “booked in their sister property Casa Baba” which was obviously not true... (I btw have been asked by booking to rate this hotel not Casa Baba which proves the obvious). So they put us in a cab and sent us to that hotel. Surprise, they had not checked with the driver if he knew where it was and therefore he had no idea where this hotel was located so we ended up asking people in the streets (in the middle of nowhere during the night) until I had to put my roaming back on to find the place - which was actually a self catered secluded villa where we would have stayed completely alone the first night and then shared with random other guests for the rest of the week.... We refused so thankfully we were offered a room in the Coral Rock Hotel (where we had booked in the first place...!!!). The hotel itself is pretty nice, perfectly located, the rooms are ok, no wifi in the rooms and very bad connection throughout. Although the staff is chilled and nice, the service is pretty bad to be honest, everything is very slow, the coffee machine was broken and never repaired, our dolphin trip was canceled last minute,... Overall, I would say that its OK if you are looking for a great location on the beach, good pool, but just be prepared to be very patient and not too demanding.
