I must admit I booked at the Coral Playa based mostly on reviews from this site, and I wasn't dissapointed!
Booked over the net, so was a bit wary about what the hotel would be like when we got there, but it really was fantastic.
Extremely clean, inside and out, and the rooms were spacious and really nice, with everything you needed. Maids were great, very friendly and left everything where you put it, whilst still tidying. Normally, I`ve found that if you were in the room when the maids came and you asked them to come back, that was it and your room didn't cleaned that day. However, they came back and no matter how late you left the room it was always cleaned.
All the staff were friendly and helpfull, and spoke good english (well they actually spoke a number of different languages well!). Had a few minor problems with the room, hardly worth bothering about, but I let them know and they were fixed the same day. Much better than other hotels where i`ve ended up having to fix things myself or it didn't get done! What ever you wanted the staff would help with, and were always pleasant and cheery.
In the past, on all inclusives, the food was edible but nothing special. However, at the Coral Playa the food was really good, and ended up stuffing myself! Everything was fresh, and a good variety on the menu, tried a lot of new things I wouldn't of normally eaten, and really enjoyed them. Actually looked forward to meal times, and i`m not someone who usually enjoys their food.
Pool was really nice, very clean! Beach was literally next to the hotel but it was so nice by the pool we stayed there all week. Lots of activities provided if your into that, and the entertainment in the evening was good.
Nice views from the hotel, and in a great location, next to the beach and close to the town and a couple of small supermarkets a couple of hundred yards away if you wanted anything.
As I said, was a bit worried about booking the hotel blind, but was so impressed that I want to go back next year. Must admit its the first holiday where I didn't want to go home. Usually I get bored after a week, but really didn't want to leave the Coral Playa!
Honestly can say that there was nothing I could find fault with (and thats rare!)
Don't normally write reviews, but they gave us a fantastic holiday, at a great price, and I feel that its only fair that I should give them the review they deserve.
