Coral Coast hotel rooms a the Independent

"The property is badly rundown. The every other outlets in the room is not working, we put something in the refrigerator to find out next morning the cheese melted. The room barely cleaned - dust on the bed overheads, dirty doors. White towels and robs not white anymore. Breakfast buffet food is absolutely average , to say the least. Tables and utensils not washed/cleaned properly. Honestly speaking I have no idea, why the price is do high. On a top of it: traffic is terrible. It took 90 min for us to get to the hotel from the airport, and another 30 min to check in and get to the room… I would never recommend this hotel to anyone."

"Too many people not enough attention to the finer details "

"Air conditioning worked, but only if shutters on screen windows were closed, allowing no natural light nor any outside views of ocean, garden etc. Breakfast was often stale bread, canned pears and peaches. The staff was wonderful. The Administration, not so! For several days they kept ducking me in order to avoid hearing multiple complaints about the difference between their VERY OLD website and the reality of the resort.... including filth, no activites, no entertainment, no spa, no gourmet foids, no clean sandy beach, housekeeping finaly after a week, dead fish in the outdoor shower removed after 3 days of asking, .... A refund was not an option accirding to a vety vain Administration young woman for the majority if the 21 days booked. I left early, loosing at least $900 Canadian, and refused to pay the small amount i owed for some meals. Were it not for the Staff the days there would have bern total hell. They did their best. They did tell me they had had to call in the Ministry of Labour. Setting is paradise. Living there is not."

"Old facilities. Staff are very nice."

"I was really impressed with the service, food and well maintained facilities. So easy to get to and a quick taxi ride into Port Denarua."

"Spent 7 nights at the Sheraton, room was nice, clean, comfortable with good aircon and a ceiling fan. Island 619 breakfast and dinner buffets were good, but birds at breakfast time are a huge issue. We observed birds standing in the food and eating directly from the buffet daily and the staff did not seem to care or do much about it. Dont walk away from your plate, the birds will beat you back to the table! Spent most of our time at the Wet Edge bar and pool which was nicer and quieter than the main pool area of the resort. Room service and bars are well priced considering you are inside a resort. The Tatuvu restruant offers fantastic food , service and sunset views with nightly entertainment. The grounds of the resort are very well maintained and most resort staff are friendly and helpful. It is worth mentioning that on check in the resort requires a $1000FJD hold as a security deposit and that the resort is completley cashless. None of the resturants, bars or cafes will take cash, you need to pay via card or charge to your room. The only places that accept cash are the retail / convenince stores inside the grounds although the prices here are extremley inflated. If youre looking for better value for money go to the supermarket at Port Denaru where food, alcohol and medication are all significantly cheaper. We will absolutley return but would like to see the bird / food safety issues adressed."

"Great resort.. rooms could use a lil love but not to the point it would be deplorable. Had a great 50th!!"

"Very nice facility . Good for the family.Staff are amazing. Exemptional service. "

"The room is great for travellers on a budget. Large bathroom. You need to bring your own towel. Many activities to choose from. Staff are very accommodating and it’s a beautiful peaceful resort. Hammocks to read and relax. The water is beautiful and you can bare foot walk down the beach and back. Horse riding on the beach and surfing was the highlight. Food is fresh and flavoursome. Good portion sizes and good bang for your buck"
