Coral Island Hotel & Spa

I stayed in a room located on the highest floor overlooking the Malecon. The room had 2 beds, 2 separate patio spaces, desk + chair, patio chairs, TV, and Air Conditioning. Rooms were relatively clean apart from some stains on a pillowcase. A huge cockroach was present in the hallway and we found a small one in the bathroom once (but could be caused by the shower ventilation window facing the hallway that we left open). The pool is cleaned each day before it opens and it was a pleasure to use, there are also 2 jacuzzis but we never used them. It should be noted that a tropical storm caused the loss of power throughout the building for numerous hours overnight, impacting hot water availability and issues with elevator functionality. Power was restored very quickly but hot water/ elevator issues persisted. We stayed for 6 days and selected to have breakfast included which turned out to be a lifesaver as there aren’t any breakfast spots nearby. The breakfast costed an additional $15 per day with the options of eggs w/ sausage, eggs w/ veggies, eggs w/ ham, pancakes, or chilaquiles. Breakfast also included toast (w butter/jam), a refreshing juice and unlimited coffee. Staff was incredibly accommodating as we arrived super late (around 11 pm.) and left earlier than reported checkout to catch our flight. I would stay at Coral Island Hotel again due to all of the above factors as well as its location; in between two ends of the Malecon, Coral Island Hotel was close enough to restaurants, the aquarium, and other tourist spots whilst also avoiding scarier parts located more towards Centro Historico.

Great customer service from Maria at the front desk, good breakfast food and great service at the ME restaurant. The food at the poolside was good and they deliver food to your room. We stayed 6 days and hotel is quiet and clean and great view of the ocean. Hotel is about a 10 minute walk to the Golden Zone. The bed was comfortable for an older hotel.

Well located hotel, they were remodeling it, fair rooms, infinity pool, there is no bar service in the pool, there is direct access to the beach through a tunnel that passes under the avenue,
