Set at the northernmost end of Worthing Beach on the
southwest coast of Barbados, the Coral Mist Beach Hotel's 32 rooms all deliver
dead-on views of the Caribbean from balconies and terraces framed by turquoise fretwork. The beachfront location is the budget-minded property's greatest asset
but it might not be enough to offset the noise of honking cabs buzzing along
the busy highway, which can be heard in some of the rooms. Guests
demanding a quieter scene for the same price might consider the Dover Beach
Hotel or upgrade to the more stylish and pricier Savannah Beach Hotel.

Scene
A budget-minded, low-key hotel with a casual restaurant and a prime location along a lovely stretch of white-sand beach
Thundering claps of white-capped waves and shifting shades
of blue are framed by balconies' turquoise fretwork at the Coral Mist Beach Hotel. Lounging on balconies at small tables or in lounge chairs over morning coffee or a pre-dinner glass of wine is a popular way to pass the time at the hotel. The spacious,
although basic, rooms and one-bedroom suites are equipped with full kitchens, allowing
guests to prepare meals and enjoy their private outdoor space, which comes
complete with a soundtrack of crashing surf and wind.The four-story pale yellow façade of the hotel shelters the
busy Highway 7 from the tranquil shores of Worthing Beach, a gently sloping
stretch of white sand that begins at the Coral Mist Beach Hotel and sweeps
southward. Guests, mostly families and couples, set up camp on the beach, claiming the white lounge
chairs paired with navy blue umbrellas. Days are often spent dipping into the ocean
for a round of body surfing, enjoying a flying fish sandwich or a Ju Ju Burger
at the hotel's restaurant overlooking the ocean, or strolling along the beach. In the evening, guests can
take a short walk north towards Rockley Beach for drinks at the Tiki Bar or
dinner at Champers, an established fine-dining restaurant set on the edge of
the sea. In the lobby, there is a small gym and a business center, but the draw of the hotel is its beach. The Blue Orchid, the hotel's adjacent sister property, allows guests to access a second pool, game room, and a wide boardwalk with chairs and benches, a quiet place that hovers over the crashing surf.
Location
Set between the sands and waves of Worthing beach and a curve of busy Highway 7, a main thoroughfare that follows the west coast of the island, about a 20-minute drive to the international airport
The soothing rolling waves of Worthing Beach can be seen and
heard from the balconies of the rooms at the Coral Mist Beach Hotel, while the
front doors of the rooms open toward the less enticing noise of busy Highway 7.- Two-minute walk to Champers Restaurant and Wine Bar
Rooms
Spacious studios, one-, and two-bedroom suites with full kitchens, private terraces with ocean views, and lackluster generic Caribbean style
The rooms at the Coral Mist Beach Hotel are set in a long four-story
building and entered from a covered outdoor hallway
facing the hotel's entrance, parking lot, and the busy Highway 7. Sliding
doors at the opposite end of the rooms open to balconies and terraces
overlooking the Caribbean. The rooms fall into three
distinct categories, catering to different budget levels. Deluxe Studios are
the hotel's standard hotel room, offering a galley-style kitchen in the entry
hall, a large closet, a room with two double beds or two twin beds (pushed
together to form a king), and a private terrace with a small
table and two chairs. The larger rooms include Deluxe One and Two-bedroom
suites and a One-bedroom Penthouse; these have separate
living rooms, dining areas, full kitchens, and larger terraces with lounge
chairs in addition to the dining tables. The kitchens vary in size but all are finished with white cabinets, white appliances, and
blue laminate countertops. The cabinets and countertops are stocked with the
essentials to prepare and serve meals as well as coffeemakers and tea kettles.
The rooms also feature small flat-screen TVs and large closets stocked with irons
and ironing boards.The rooms all follow a similar, somewhat dull, design
palette with ivory ceramic tile floors, ivory painted walls, basic boxy furniture
in dark wood or maple, and sofas and chairs outfitted with white canvas
cushions. The floral print comforters, coordinating window treatments, and Caribbean-influenced framed artwork are dated and tacky. The bathrooms are spacious, but simply finished with generic
white tiles, single vanities, stall showers, and basic white towels and
toiletries.
Features
Two pools, a small gym, and business center, and a gorgeous stretch of white-sand beach dotted with plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas
The restaurant at the Coral Mist Beach Hotel offers reasonably priced meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) with terrific views. The low-key spot with its tiny four-seat bar comprises two interior dining rooms and an outdoor terrace. Wispy sheer curtains in shades of green and blue, beach-inspired artwork, and a menu that focuses on local fare (flying fish sandwiches) and staple items such as pasta dishes, salads, and burgers combine to make diners feel at ease. Guests who want to venture off property can take a short walk north to Rockley Beach and grab a picnic table at the Tiki Bar. The popular toes-in-the-sand spot serves a huge menu of rum drinks as well as cold Banks, a local beer, at the water's edge. Also nearby is Champers, a fine-dining, candle-lit restaurant set on a cliff overlooking the crashing waves.
