The hotel keeps everyone fed with an American restaurant with outdoor seating, an upscale tapas bar, paid breakfast buffet, and coffeeshop. Depending on your cleanliness comforts and need for modernity, the 301 rooms may be a drawback or a selling point. The standard rooms have microwaves and mini-fridges, while suites feature kitchens, but they’re not spotless. Note that the resort doesn't accept any cash.

Scene
Large, lively resort with oceanfront views from rooms and public spaces, plus a clientele of families
Coral Beach Resort & Suites has a jovial, upbeat atmosphere that accurately reflects the type of guests they cater to: families. From the outside, the resort is comprised of three bulky buildings that interconnect on the beachfront property. Many areas of the hotel take advantage of the beach and ocean views, such as the modern Oceans 6 Bar & Lounge, oceanfront pools, and outdoor restaurant. The lobby isn’t large, which can be a drawback during the high season when check-in and check-out lines are long and there’s only a few wicker chairs to sit in. It features a small pond and hanging chandelier that seeks to add some class to the plain tiled floors. Guests will find a lot of beach or ocean-themed artwork throughout, as well as colorful spaces in the kid-friendly areas like the entertainment zone which is filled with arcades, games, and a bowling alley. Keep in mind that cash isn’t king here and that the resort only takes debit or credit cards throughout the property.
