Pros:

Superb staff, friendly and helpful. Super classy rooms. Modern and stylish. Thumbs up to the designer. Located right on the beach. Early check in, late check out at no extra costs...Thanks again. Breakfast is delicious, with a large variety of fruits, bread, hot items, juices.....
Would like to see an Espresso machine though in addition to the good and strong filter coffee. Really loved staying at the Corral with the stylish surrounding and the friendly people. 10 Points well deserved.

My second time staying here. Spacious room with spectacular ocean view, very good breakfast with a lot of options, free parking, and efficient staff.

Cons:

Nothing special, but as already mentioned in my previous review, check out timing set by 10:00 looks strange.

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay, and a special thanks to Shihan, the manager at the reception, for his exceptional support. When we faced an issue with our travel itinerary, he personally took charge, sorted it out within a very short time, kept us updated with proper information throughout, and made the whole situation completely stress-free. He truly went above and beyond to assist us and given room upgrade which was amazing felt like staying right front of the ocean, and his care, efficiency, and personal attention made a real difference to our experience. Shihan is a real asset to the property, and we are sincerely grateful for his support and warm hospitality.

scelta giusta per girare l isola e fare attività
Pros:

la struttura è grande e quindi include molti comfort.
Ci hanno permesso il late check-out che è stato davvero essenziale per noi e ci ha permesso di stare al mare un giorno in piu'

Cons:

la piscina è rimasta chiusa un giorno intero per manutenzione.
il check-in è stato davvero lento.
la domenica penso che venga molta gente anche dall'esterno rendendo la struttura troppo affollata, compresa la piscina

I would like to thank Sanjay for making our stay amazing; upgraded, complimentary cocktails & wine!
Pros:

Sanjay was amazing! Upon arrival we were upgraded to a honeymoon suite as newlyweds! We received 2 complimentary cocktails, a bottle of wine, breakfast table on the beach and even a pair of earrings! The room and view were lovely. Sanjay let us have a late check out as we had an evening flight, it was very much appreciated to be able to freshen up before our long flight. We had dinner in the sushi restaurant on sight and watched a beautiful sunset, breakfast was fantastic, so many options! Facilities were great and the hotel is in an excellent location. THANK YOU SANJAY and all staff at Coral Strand!

Cons:

Everything was great!

Très bon hôtel !!!
Pros:

L'amabilité du personnel, spécialement les managers Zoya et Shihan qui étaient exceptionnels, merci à eux ! Le serveur Danushka était également très aimable et serviable
La chambre lune de miel avec vue directe sur la mer était exceptionnelle ! Le surclassement nous a beaucoup plu
Le buffet du petit déjeuner très très riche avec des fruits frais, des œufs, des crêpes, ... Nous avons même pu faire un petit déjeuner directement sur la plage
Hôtel très propre et rénovation très récente, les équipements de la chambre étaient exceptionnels
L'emplacement de rêve, littéralement sur la plage Beau Vallon et je dirai même situé sur la plus belle partie de cette plage
Le checkout tardif nous a permis de bien profiter de la plage
Ce séjour nous a beaucoup marqué et fait partie d'un des meilleurs que nous avons pu avoir

Cons:

Rien !
