    Pretty average breakfast. Floors in rooms needed to be better cleaned.

    Great location on pink sand beach. Spacious rooms. Great communal areas - especially the beach bar/restaurant. Very friendly staff. Lots of loungers on beach and by pool.

    This was my 2nd time visiting Coral Sands and it’s the perfect combination of luxury hotel mixed with a bed & breakfast. It’s pricey but definitely the best value for what you pay! The staff is absolutely incredible, the restaurants are delicious, and the property is beautiful!

    If you are not familiar with the out islands, the prices may seem very high. But, that's just the cost of doing business and maintaining a very nice property on a small island.

    Beautiful location, exceptional staff, and amazing beaches. Restaurants and bars on site were excellent.

    Too many uneven pathways and steps to the beach and all uphill on the return. Otherwise it’s very scenic and lush with palm trees, bushes, and flowering plants.

    The staff - every single one of them was amazing. Friendly, helpful, cheerful. In particular, Peter the bartender and Dora at the beach hut for towels and chairs.

    we were not happy with the beds. We felt they were uncomfortable. We thought it be better to have soft mattress..

    we love the staff to location. The one thing we would change would be the Tempur-pedic bed, so we felt that we have been at other hotels with the beds were softer. Casual, elegant. I would not want it to be any fancier or fussier and definitely not more expensive. It was rather costly especially the food.

    The beach bar closes 6:00.

    Overlooking the pristine Pink Sand beach with the creamy pinky sand. The sun is hot and the breeze is steady and cool. Love the warm, friendly people at Coral Sands. We had a Jr Suite sea view and it was very spacious and clean. Tons of storage drawers, closet, safe, and very nice lanai with two loungers, to chairs, and a table.

    The Blue Bar restaurant has no ambience and everything felt tired and old. Also, why not spice it up with live music? We didn't have it once at this restaurant and we were there a week. The pool table was old and over used as was the rest of the entertainment area; tired furniture, a fan without a pull chain... mattress in the room a little on the soft side. They don't need to wash the linens or towels every single night. It's a waste of water. I highly recommend a purified water refill station. I don't like using plastic bottles constantly for water and polluting the environment in that unneccessary way.

    Staff are friendly, courteous, engaging and very helpful in every way possible. Location amazing if you want to be close to the beach. Beach staff especially friendly and helpful. Room was cleaned well every single day. Decor and balcony nice and spacious bathroom. Wonderful shower. Continental breakfast fresh and tasty every morning and our dinner and other meals all delicious.

    No criticism of staff or facilities But… Considering the price of the rooms, the included breakfast could have had more options eg Cappuccino which was charged at 8 dollars or 14 for a double shot (+28% in tax and gratuities). No eggs were offered either but could be bought at 15 dollars (+28%). We received 2 or (4 if you asked nicely) small plastic bottles of water a day. Drinking water was then charged for per bottle. A fill-your-own water bottle system would have been appreciated. The gratuity system is confusing for us (from UK), there is a line on the bottom of every bill for you to fill in a gratuity. It wasn’t until we’d spoken to another couple who own a property on the island that we realised that the 18% part included on every bill is in fact a tip for staff and not kept by the hotel as has been the case in the past, with added service charges in other places we’ve been. It is purely an option for you to tip an individual server. We stopped adding extras unless it was a very special thing. Initially we were unwittingly adding huge amounts onto the already enormous sums by UK standards!

    Great location and lovely helpful staff. Open and airy feel. We really enjoyed our stay.

    I was pleasantly surprised with this resort. First time in Harbour Island and I am so happy we chose Coral Sands. Our room was a spacious king ocean view with a large bathroom and small balcony. The view was incredible but the staff at this place exceeded all expectations!! Friendly and always helpful in every way. Breakfast was always delicious and dinner and lunches also great. Location is also very convenient and they planned all the logistics to and from dock plus golf cart and restaurant reservations. Thanks to James for always taking care of our needs:)

    Perhaps because we stayed at the start of the peak season in November, we felt the hotel lacked atmosphere. The restaurant was practicallly empty most nights, thankfully we had booked other restaurants. We found the staff at the Beach Bar somewhat unfriendly, but it was a great view from there. The hummus was tasteless (no tahini??) All in all it was a good stay, very relaxed and undemanding.

    Coral Sands is a well-run, unpretentious and well located hotel. Our King Deluxe Oceanview room was excellent, very comfortable and immaculately clean (well done to the housekeeping staff). It is well located on the famous pink sand beach, and close to all the amenities of Dunmore town. The pool and its area are very nice. It was good to have continental breakfast included in the rate. The reception staff, especially Denise and Lisa, were very helpful and friendly.
