Coral Star Apartments

Returned yesterday from a 7 night trip to the coral star. On arrival we wasn't too sure the outside area is a bit run with loads of empty shops and a smashed up car next door... we checked by the friendly staff on reception, given our key to our hotel room and told where to go. Yes the 1st thing you notice is the disgusting red carpet but did it spoil our holiday NO!! When we entered our room we noticed how small it was for 2 adults and a teen. Unfortunately the light above our daughter's bed was hanging off and the balcony door was broken. We went back down to reception and the man radioed to maintenence who said they would go up and look... so we went and had a drink in the bar. Bar staff are fab... Isobel always has a smile on her face and is lovely. Cups are 1€ but you exchange the cup every time you get a new drink. We also took our own cups that staff are happy to refill. After we had finished our drinks we returned to our room and everything was fixed. Food is good... as mentioned before there is a theme most nights and we always found something to eat. The snack bar is open 11am until 6pm and we really enjoyed the food from there too... chicken tenders on Sunday are a firm fav. We never had a problem finding a sun bed.. there wasn't the mad 6am rush like we have experienced at other resorts and the pools are lovely. We had a great holiday... yes it's not 4* but you are not paying 4* prices. The hotel has a great supermarket over the road, lots of shops and restaurants if you walk down past the abandoned shops. And locals buses that take you to beautiful beaches and into town.

For a 3* not bad!! Get what you pay for! All inclusive was brilliant I highly recommend this if you have hungry and big appetite children or adults, lovely food no complaints, staff was friendly and helpful! No issues apart from no entertainment for 4 days due to the entertainer left, kids was bored, but by day 5 they brought new team in, decent pools and kids pool, lots of sun beds for all, apartment was small but only there to sleep always kept clean and tidy by cleaners, the red carpet that people bang on about! My mum and dad stayed in H side and they said you are not there for the carpet you are there for the holiday!! in coral and outside areas was spotless no litter anywhere even out on the street was spotless! Lots of bars and restaurants around and supermarkets and a tobacco shop, beach 15 min walk to the left of coral and 9 min walk to the right.. something for the kids to do (bouncy slides, trampolines soft play this was €5 per child), I also did my washing on holiday and if you do the same there is a laundromat 15 min walk to the right of coral opposite rumi’s gym, decent price and within the price includes washing detergent!!, to the left of coral turn left follow the road up left again (main road) there is another laundromat which doesn’t include detergent but also fairly priced

We had a great holiday as a family of 4. 2 adults in our 30s, a 13 year old and a 1 year old. We stayed from August 15th - 22nd. STAFF All the staff we encountered were really welcoming and friendly. I especially want to thank Paula in the restaurant for always putting a smile on our baby's face. She was really friendly and never failed to entertain our little girl. Thank you, Paula! ROOM We stayed in a studio apartment, room 113. This was great as it was close to the lift and overlooking the pool. Therefore, we could be in the room and the teenager in the pool and we could still keep an eye on him. We had 2 single beds next to each other, round the corner of the room, with the cot next to us. There was another single sofa bed in front of the tv for the teenager. There was a kitchenette with 2 hobs, kettle, toaster, sink, plates, bowls, cooking appliances and cutlery. This would be perfect for anyone not on all inclusive. We found the kettle ideal for boiling bottled water for the baby. I also packed a collapsable bucket and Milton sterilising fluid for sterilising the baby's bottles. (I'd recommend the tablets and not the liquid. Although the bottle was wrapped in a plastic bag, it somehow bleached a few pieces of clothing.) The bathroom has a hairdryer, shampoo and shower gel. Although housekeeping come by most days, they don't always top up the shampoo, shower gel or toilet roll. However, there is always a member of the housekeeping team about, I just asked them for some more and they even offered us clean towels too. There was 1 night that was quite rainy and we woke up to bits of wall/paint on the balcony. This wasn't cleaned up, so was slightly concerned when the baby would venture onto the balcony. I should of probably asked housekeeping to sweep it, I just assumed they would do it when sweeping the room. POOL There are quite a few bad reviews with people's feet being cut on the tiles, I personally didn't see this. However, there was a few kids that had sore feet from walking to and from the pool while the floor was red hot. I'd suggest either wearing flipflops to the poolside or wearing aqua shoes for the pool. 1 child we met cut his feet in the pool but there was bits of grit at the bottom. I could only assume this is sand and broken seashells from the beach. The splash park was great for the kids (and big kids). Our baby loved it, she had a blast, bless her. The last couple of days we were there, the bucket that fills with water and splashes down wasn't working. This was slightly disappointing but we at least got use of it at the beginning. This pool was substantially colder than the others but made it refreshing. There are 2 bigger pools that get busy but not too excessively. There's also a smaller childs pool by the splash park. There's a sign in the lifts to warn of no inflatables in the pools unless needed to help those unable to swim. A few times, there were people on lilo's and rings but nothing was said. Our baby had a rin

Stayed at Coral star from June 1st until June 8th with my 4 year old nephew and my mam… Check in was SLOWWW but the guy on reception was very friendly. Waited 4 hours for our room to be ready which wasn’t an issue we just went wondering round exploring the town. Once we got the key to the room we waited around 5 minutes for the one lift in the apartment complex, the room was small and run down but looked clean. The bathroom was horrific. Our toilet wouldn’t flush, and the shower was sinking. We went to reception 4 times in the first two days to report our broken toilet but they told us there was nothing wrong with it. On the second day, the water in the toilet wouldn’t stop running as if it had constantly been flushed which kept us up all night. Food was lovely but as a fussy eater and my mam being severely allergic to seafood we had to eat our 3 nights out of 7 which isn’t ideal if you have paid for all inclusive. The entertainment on a night was none existent but luckily we made friends either a couple of families so we kept ourselves entertained. The bairn really enjoyed the holiday and if it wasn’t for the rundown rooms and rude staff we wouldn’t have anything to complain about. In hindsight, if you look at the price you pay you are getting your moneys worth but next time I’d rather spend a little bit more for a better experience.

If it wasnt for the weather it would of been awful. Place has no entertainment. Ive come home with bed bugs on my legs. No air con in the bars an as for the food it was vile. Who has cauliflower cheese boiled rice an fish fingers at an all inclusive hotel. I wouldnt go back to this hotel if it was payed for. Red carpets filthy. We over looked a laudry room. Safe to say we felt ripped off. Had to eat out most dsys.. glad to be home.

We have just returned from a 7 night holiday here! We stayed in the hotel part of the complex and were very happy with our room. We were located pool side on the ground floor which made it really handy for popping in and out while lounging round the pool! The room was basic but clean, the room was cleaned daily and towels were changed daily! The bed unfortunately was not very comfortable and we found it to be quite hard! The hotel itself is large all staff were friendly and we were greeted at reception to very friendly staff, our room was not ready when we arrived in the morning but we were shown where to leave our luggage and were able to use all other facilities. We had an all inclusive package. The restaurant is never overly busy and we always found a place to sit, the food was nice and there is a daily menu which is available to view outside of the restaurant. I would say there could be better options for children, the children’s serving area was very sparse and some days only plain pasta available. Staff in the restaurant work tirelessly and are all friendly. Bar staff are friendly, soft drinks available on tap and all drinks are served in plastic cups. Handy hint if you bring your own drinking cups- Stanley etc you can fill these with drinks of your choice. There were always sunbeds available round the pool and the large pools were never over crowded. The animation team are all friendly and provide the usual quiz/bingo type events in the evening. During the day there are some activities around the pool and a mini club that is open daily. Big up to Kim who went out of her way to get to know the guests stopping for chats and ensuring they are happy! There is a supermarket opposite the hotel but this is very over priced! The general area is a little run down with lots shut down buildings, but there are also lots of shops and restaurants within this! Just a short walk to the beach where we hired Pedalos ! We also caught the bus into Ibiza town for the day! We had a great week here over all
