Coral Star Apartments

The hotel is what it is 3*. I’m not sure what people expect when you book a cheap and cheerful. Maybe we don’t have high standards, but we were happy with our stay. Granted parts of the hotel, as with most of the island by all accounts, are in need of a bit of TLC, but our room was clean and spacious (studio apartment, pool facing) The food was great for 3* we always found something! The staff were all friendly and helpful. Special mention to the girls who ran the activities and Bruno on reception. We would return. It suited us and our family.

We arrived 9th June, for a week. What can i say?! Alot tbh! Passed so many stunning hotels on the way to our hotel, then we pulled up outside Coral Star. My heart sunk and i thought to myself omg. It looks run down, shabby and scruffy. Walked in Reception was bright, clean and nice. Reception staff lovely also. Anyway got to our room, very small. Bathroom was lovely, shower amazing. Pool veiw too. The beds, my god you would have a better sleep on the floor. The beds are rock hard, so uncomfortable. I could feel the springs. And the long pillows are a no from me!! The hotel is very dated. The famous red carpet in most of the reviews is hideous and bloody filthy!!! The food...... i read the reviews on the food and i thought it cant be that bad surely. Well it was that bad!! No choice, not even hot, dont know about you but i like my meals hot. Or warm atleast. Every night was themed, which isnt what kids want. And this is ment to be a family hotel. My son is 8 and he struggled. They do have a childrens corner for food. One night all they had was cold plain spagetti and pizza!! Another night no word of a lie half sausages and carrots. I laughed because i couldnt believe my eyes. We were all inclusive for a week 5 nights of that week we had to eat out because the food was awful. Breakfast is the only meal time i cant complain about. There is a pool snack bar that does chips & pizza daily and then hotdogs and burgers on other days. That was a saving grace for us because other wise we wouldnt of eaten from breakfast until we went out in the night as even the lunch menu wasnt up to much. Pool area lovely. Although one day there was a fag butt and bits floating about. Splash park nice. Could do with a clean and some paint but kids loved it. You will struggle to get an umbrella if you dont go down to the pool early. Beds and umbrellas go quickly. Not enough unbrellas to go around. Entertainment, there isnt any. Ive never known a hotel not to do shows at night. They have a mini disco for children then its a quiz or kareoke every single night!! The nights were very boring for children we just went out instead as there is nothing else to do in the hotel. Kids club, there is one but u never seen them do anything with the kids. They did come around one day and ask of we wanted to play pool or archery. Water polo for adults. You can see there is no budget for activity staff they do try their best. Pool toilets- are the only toilets we seen in the whole hotel. accept the one in your room. Staff, all lovely. Polite. Cleaners are always cleaning. Outside the hotel, a very run down area lots of closed shops, pubs & bars, Burnt out cars etc There isnt much to do. Few nice places we had food, there is a pizza place outside the hotel the food was amazing!! Also further up the road is a pub called Jonnies bar food amazing! If the kids are bored and u need some peace lol theres a place called vinces bbq bar. They do food too, or u can just have a drink, they have in

Clean, great food, nice pools, nice local shops.. Staff excellent, rooms superb... Recommend.. Not the Ritz but its 3* after all... Breakfast is amazing, and all meals exceptional 👍

Stayed at the hotel for 4 nights check in was quick got to are room 324 unpacked then went to surprise are son who was there with his girlfriend and 2 kids it was about 10.15pm sat down having a talk . We decided to have a drink and was told the bar closes at 11pm dead on which it did wow not only that but then security came around stateing we had to be out off the lounge for 12 .never have we ever seen a bar close that early or not be able to relax in the lounge 🤔 The only thing was we wanted to hire a mobility scooter for 4 days only to be told it would be €150 on asking why the answer was it's that price not matter how many day's you want it which is a bit daft. We have been to other places and been able to hire for the day we needed 🤔 oh by the way room 324 is on the side facing a building which is not in use and you hear the a loud buzzing all nite🙄

Had a 4 day break here,age range 15-70 Rooms, no fridge which would have been good to have, air con good, beds decent, bathroom had what you needed,good shower pressure as well.decent storage. Bar, good selection of drinks both all inclusive and to purchase, cocktails!! Machine made...plastic cups really spoil your drink but they have a policy there..buy a token get the red cup exchange for drinks, money back at end of holiday. Pools were clean and two lifeguards on duty from 10am till 8pm..one pool seemed still water the other had a jet current Vending machines in reception and toy machines around for kiddos to drive you mad for euros ( supermarkets opposite far cheaper) Food, hot, really well presented ,good selection every mealtime, Sunday roast was amazing Snack bar, good selection each day,crisps a bonus for all as well as fries,hot dogs,burgers etc changed daily. Animation/Entertainment was good, kiddy disco,bingo karaoke night quiz etc,daytime changed notice board will keep you informed, in reception Location is great for shops bars etc Staff really happy to help, reception staff were so helpful with local information. Yes it's 3* rating but the service was good, felt safe there . Thanks for a lovely holiday
