I spent here 3 days with my family. The location is very nice, the reef is beautiful, the service fast and friendly, the rooms are clean. There's a very convenient regular shuttle bus to the city. We enjoyed it very much!

I have been staying at this hotel every year since 2007. It was my favourite until I visited it in May 2012. Unfortunately, it is now surrounded by military baracks. It is no longer that nicely isolated hotel with nice beach away from the crowded city of Aqaba, hidden far on the south beach. Unfortunately, now the service has deteriorated... More

Came there with my family and stayed there for three nights. The service is terrible, the rooms are run down and not very clean. The shower was leaking, the electricity so and so, the furniture on the balcony broken and no towels upon arrival. We had to ask several times to get towels and in one of the rooms the... More

I did not have high expectations before I went to this hotel as I had read the reviews but tried to have an open mind.However, the whole hotel was rundown, shabby and not very clean. Beds were clean but linen very worn. Rooms dark, terrace door lock broken and did not shut properly. Main door lock not working properly. Holes... More

I stayed at Coral Bay for 3 night in early September, during an organized tour of Jordan. In general there is no particular reason to stay in Aqaba: the town hasn't much to offer, apart from small coral reefs and in my opinion spending there half a day is enough. Coral bay is around 20 km from Aqaba, on the... More

Hotel is very simple. You need to ask for everything (for example, they kept giving us only 1 towel per room, only after asking for additional they sent it to our room). Food is no more than reasonable. Location is quite and away from the city, but there's a shuttle every hour (cost 1 JD per person), so it's convenient.... More

Honestly i have never had such a bad experience before. Me and my friend decided to go to Aqaba, since she came from Romania to Jordan, and we booked our room in Coral Bay online. Hotel Transportation: When we first arrived to Aqaba we called the hotel many times to know where can we find their shuttle bus and when... More

We didn't expect much from Coral Bay but still... could be better even for low standard hotel. First of all be prepared for some trick: You will get free bottle of mineral water from waiter at your first dinner at the hotel. Next evening waiter will ask you if you want to have water NOT mentioning that it's not free... More

I had booked Coral Bay without knowing that it was a good 20+ minutes drive from Aqaba - it is FAR, well past the large hotel establishments, and royal diving club, it's in fact right next to the royal navy and marine club - we had to drive past a garrison and armed truck to reach the hotel since it...

I stayed there on November 2010. The hotel is so far from the city. We had to pay 8 JD (12$) from the city, and sometimes we were unable to find any taxis to take us from hotel. We reserved online 2 rooms (King-sized bed). When we arrived, we discovered that didn't make the necessary arrangements, and we had to... More
