Coral Beach Lodge

Booked for 1 week from the UK assuming it would be like a YHA hostel (which I have stayed in before). The owner looked me up and down and then said “most of our clients are aged 20 and weigh 45 kilos “. He later claimed he was making his comments in relation to health and safety. I decided not to stay there

Booking our stay at the Coral Beach Lodge was a bit of a last minute thing and I must say that I was a bit dubious about the communal kitchen, but I was pleasantly surprised. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful and our room was clean and a good size, which included an outdoor table and 2 chairs outside the sliding door at the back of the room. The pool was lovely! There was also a table tennis table and a pool table which we had a few games on. The communal kitchen was great as everyone was friendly and chatty with each other. I think this may be a back packers place as there were a lot of young travelers there. We did plan a barbecue for that night though, but the gas bottle was empty so we cooked it in the kitchen. They are building a bar there but it won't be ready until April. Overall, a nice place to stay and was only $99 for the night.

Service was beyond terrible and the food well over priced. The obvious owner was nothing but rude to the point that even the staff. Chefs included were embarrassed. On top of that the burgers are well overpriced. 18$ for a backpackers meal? Go to dougies instead 🤣

Fantastic lodge! Tom & Kev are terrific and so accommodating! They are pleasant to everyone and even though there are some disrespectful guests, they try their hardest to get them to pick up their act so it doesn't affect others. Bonnie the friendliest dog at reception is gorgeous 🐶 and a bonus in my eyes 😊. Highly recommend.

The atmosphere at Coral Beach Lodge is so friendly and the manager, Kevin was extremely helpful and considerate. It was almost like staying in the middle of a rainforest - so restful and peaceful. Would love to come and stay for a whole week sometime soon.

A Few Minutes after I arrived that evening and was greeted by the Receptionist she was warm and welcoming. The room was clean and provided the basics needs being budget accommodation. The location was close to all amenities. easy access to the Harbor and town facilities. What I liked best about the Accommodation was That it was close to my next destination. what I liked least about it was the tables outside my room provided ash trays and as I opened the door there was a inflow of cigarette smoke . I was going to sit outside but the smoke was two strong . Overall for a overnight stay it provided me comfort at budget prices with friendly staff.
