Coral Reef Club

We spent the day with a morning pedicure and a lovely lunch by the beach. The spa is beautiful and peaceful and all staff were so welcoming and attentive especially Lisa, Christina and Tamara. However I would comment the pedicure chairs could be better positioned for patrons and also their staff. I happened to wear a dress for my pedicure and thankfully I wore shorts but it definitely was not ideal seating for myself and my short legs. It would be easier for patrons and staff if patrons seats were more elevated. And that staff didn’t have to be hunched all day. It would be wise for the spa to consider changing the seating options for all. And even for my mother in law and aunt who are in their late 70s getting in and out of their chair wasn’t as easy - it would be a lot easier for those with mobility issues to walk up and step up to a seat and have their feet lower than their body when having a pedicure done.

We stayed here in April for our Honeymoon. It was the perfect destination full of luxury, tranquility, impeccable service and divine food. The O’Hara family were most welcoming, all staff at Coral Reef Club were super friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The food at the hotel was absolutely scrumptious, we ate there 3 nights and also dined at the sister hotel the Sandpiper too for a Bajan Buffet which was 10/10 and the most stunning buffet display. The Spa was incredible, the treatments were the best I’ve had. Thank you to the Reception Team for your hospitality with arranging taxis and a boat trip, you just made everything super smooth and easy for us. Every night has evening entertainment, each set of musicians were top quality and thoroughly enjoyable. The tropical gardens are impressive and immaculate, we loved the view from our balcony and morning walks around the grounds. The beach towel & service team were super friendly and attentive, we spent many hours daily on the beach with a sorbet in hand (complimentary), iced water topped up and towels at the ready. The whole experience staying at Coral Reef Club matched the 5 star standard in every way. We can’t wait to come back to celebrate an Anniversary. We felt so truly rested and spoilt. Thank you to all at Coral Reef Club for making our honeymoon one to treasure. Jennifer & Nicholas x

This was our second visit to Coral Reef Club and it didn’t disappoint. The room was a beautiful sea view / garden room and was immaculately clean with fresh towels and iced water daily. The food is outstanding, from breakfast to lunch, late morning sorbet and beach drinks to evening dinner and cocktails. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and the beach waiters are super hardworking and friendly. There is a well equipped gym and tennis coaching which we enjoyed, together with evening musicians/singers which were lovely on the evenings we dined in the hotel. The grounds are beautiful and every member of staff had a smile and hello for you throughout our stay. We cannot wait to return to one of favourite places to visit. Thank you everyone at the hotel for making our stay so special.

Resort is lovely overall. Most comfortable room with a quiet balcony albeit a bit dated. Nice quiet location but a bit of a walk to Holetown. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Housekeeping service for my room was impeccable. Although at times at the bar it took awhile to get any attention and at one point even forgot my order. Both times happened around the 5pm hour so maybe it’s during staff turnover or prep for dinner service. Rules say you cannot reserve the beach chairs but people do it anyway. By 8am there are books on almost all the chairs. Rules also say items will be removed from chairs reserved but not occupied for 2 hours. Some beach butlers will do it but some won’t. I personally witnessed a pair of chairs unoccupied and not even used at all for most of the day until about 3pm. When the couple arrived, they were attended to a lot. At another day, a butler gave a pair of chairs to an elderly couple only for it to be taken away by a different butler telling them it was already reserved. Seems obvious the beach butlers play favourites. Clientele geared more towards the elderly so if you want a slightly less older scene with more establishments around the resort then suggest going elsewhere.

The Coral Reef Club is a small slice of paradise along the stunning west coast of Barbados. You notice the extreme attention to detail and the rooms are uniquely placed throughout the lovely grounds. One particular delight is the bar and restaurant which is ideally located and provides top caliber food and service with languid sea breezes and a stunning view. The spa is another immaculate realm and has ample spaces to relax, a nice pool, and the treatments are in well-appointed rooms. The esthetician and masseurs take care to tailor the treatments. You always feel your best at this gracious property.
