Staff wasn't friendly at first but besides that the room was filthy. The furniture dirty and grimy. The linens and towels were dingy looking. The beach towels and view were great. Stairs are a big problem. Not handicap accessible.

We loved our stay at the Hotel Coral Reef. We had a perfect view of the ocean. The staff was so helpful. We borrowed bikes for a nice little ride. They shared tasty homemade food. The room was clean. It was just a great stay.
