We love everything about this place and had a great time. It’s been our first time and we weren’t at all sure that a resort holiday is for us. But the Coral Beach Hotel & Resort is special and has been a revelation. First of all, it’s BEAUTIFUL and ideally located. The idyll and tranquility. The whole staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home. The reception even upgraded our room to seaview, which we enjoyed so much. We were blessed with good weather at the end of Novembre and with temperatures between 22°C and up to 29°C spent every day at the beach or the pool watching the sunset in wet swim wear. And yes – oh, the food! We started every day at the buffet restaurant with an artfully made latte macchiato from the coffee bar on the terrace outside. Dinner at any of the restaurants is amazing. We totally understand why so many guests are regulars. We will definitely come back!

An absolutely fantastic hotel with everything you need. The service was fantastic as were the rooms. But what really stood out was the food. Absolutely delicious. And a fantastic varied selection so you didn't tire of the food.
Our room was right on the beach and next to the beach bar. Games room, pool, slides, gym, water sports, lovely beach.
The staff were wonderful and could not have been more helpful.
If I had to give a negative it would be that the corridor outside our room looked tired and needed sprucing up, but the room itself was superb.
Highly recommended.

We’ve just returned from a week at Coral Beach Hotel & Resort in Coral Bay with family, visiting in February. Overall we had a really nice, relaxing stay, with some fantastic positives — but also a few areas that could be improved, especially out of season.
The standout feature of this hotel is without doubt the setting. The views from the lobby and terrace areas are absolutely stunning — panoramic sea views and sunsets that were genuinely photogenic every evening. It’s a beautiful place just to sit with a drink and relax.
Our room was comfortable and cleaned very well every day, with fresh towels and bedding regularly changed. The bed itself was really comfortable. The room décor was slightly tired in places, but still perfectly pleasant and functional for a family stay.
Facilities wise, there were some really good points. The indoor pool was excellent — warm (around 30°C) and a real hit with my son. The tennis courts were also great and free to use (just a €20 deposit for rackets and balls), which was a nice touch and something we really enjoyed.
However, being February, a number of facilities weren’t operating. None of the à la carte restaurants were open, the water slides weren’t running, and the main outdoor pool wasn’t heated (around 15°C), so it was essentially unused by guests. We don’t recall this being clearly advertised by Jet2, so it’s worth being aware if you’re travelling in winter.
The beach area also needed a good tidy during our stay, with quite a lot of seaweed washed in from recent rough seas. It’s unclear whether this is fully the hotel’s responsibility, but they did appear to be starting some cleanup work in the bay while we were there.
Food in the main restaurant was generally okay, with breakfast being the strongest offering. The restaurant could feel very busy at times, and getting more than one drink from waiters during a meal was sometimes a challenge. Evening entertainment in February was minimal, and the lobby bar could get busy, making it difficult to get served quickly — although the drinks themselves were very good quality.
One unusual aspect of our stay was that there was a large group of children visiting for a swimming event at the nearby complex. They were mostly well behaved, but there were a few late-night corridor noise moments after midnight during the week.
Coral Bay itself is a lovely area, and we found it best to hire a car to properly explore some of the best attractions around Paphos and the west coast. We hired from a car-hire place in Coral Bay village (about a 20-minute walk from the hotel), where there are plenty of bars and restaurants along the strip — although in February probably only around 25% were open. Later in the stay we noticed there is also a car-hire shop directly across the road from the hotel charging around €45 per day for a medium car. We paid €35 per day in Coral Bay with full insurance and unlimited mileage, which we felt was good value.
Facilities nearby were still convenient — Legends Bar across the road from the hotel was a nice option for a change of scene (quiet in February but friendly).
Overall, we did have a lovely family break. February in Cyprus is naturally very quiet, but when the sun came out it was beautiful and peaceful. I can imagine Coral Beach Hotel & Resort being fantastic from late spring onwards when all facilities are open, the outdoor pools are in use, and the resort is fully up and running.
A relaxing stay with amazing views — just go aware of reduced facilities if visiting in winter.

Stayed a week in mid- September for a friend's wedding & holiday. It's impressive, has a well run reception/lobby (which is huge) and does everything well, as you would expect from a hotel of this rating. Breakfast was good, the rooms are spacious and well serviced. There are plenty of facilities, including a good sized swimming pool (there's a smaller indoor one too), a gym and good access to its own private beach. Good overall and we enjoyed our stay.

We stayed at coral beach for our first family holiday and also our son’s 1st birthday and it was more than I could imagine. Firstly, the hotel was absolutely beautiful and we felt like we were in paradise the whole time. The buffet restaurant was better than expected. There was always different selection of food, so we never felt like we were eating the same thing. There was also a selection of restaurants that had different cuisines, such as, Asian, Italian and Greek. These were also incredible.
We stayed in rooms that had our own little garden and it was right next to the private beach. The beach itself was stunning and we spent most of our mornings there. It was really clean the set out of the sunbeds was perfect.
The staff were also 5*. They were so friendly and made us feel really welcome and they also made an effort interacting with our son who just wanted to say hi to everybody. One of the staff members that made our holiday better was Lubima. On our first day she went out her way to introduce herself and to get to know us. She was amazing with the guests and went above her job role. The second member of staff that made a difference was Bijay. We made our mornings so much better. He was so polite and also had a good sense of humour which I feel is important in making an impact on someone’s holiday. He also made the best iced coffee I’ve ever had. Unfortunately we did have a bad encounter with a member of staff called Abishek. He was very rude to my mother in law and also rude to other staff aswell. He might have been having a bad day, which we all have but it’s definitely something to look out for as you don’t want this type of negativity around a hotel with such positivity.
We will definitely be wanting to come back as we have had the most perfect holiday. Thank you for making our first holiday as a family so special.
