Was debating with my fiancé where we should honeymoon after the wedding. Inquired about different countries and destinations. Found many great places but the only problem was it was out of our price range and budget. There's a old adage that says,"good things come to those who are patient". So true in this case! Made our reservations 5 months in... More

Just returned from another great stay at Coral Reef Club in our amazing Plantation suite. Staff genuinely very friendly and a great credit to the O'Hara family who own the hotel. Back again in December, can't wait!

I had read about this property for eons, so we gave it a try for dinner. The hotel is lovely and the bar area, very pretty. When you order a drink, we provide a plate of home-made cheese shortbread, chips and nuts-very nice. Their menu is solid, but needs a revamp. Although my filet mignon was delicious, the setting was... More

We decided to eat here because the advertising was good. The menu was a throwback to the 70s although it was perfectly cooked.the setting is beachside but a wall prevents you from seeing the sea. The entertainment was an excellent piano player but then the main act started to play in a mini bandstand. I think they were called Cyril... More

We visited the Coral Reef Club restaurant recently for their Thursday evening BBQ. Huge selection and variety of starters, mains and deserts are available. The food was cooked to perfection (you even get to see them cooked the meats/ fish you choose on the BBQ). Couldn't fault the high level of service- offered us a recommendation for wine. A guy...

We had a delicious dinner at The Coral Reef Club, with friends, who were actually staying there. Very attractive dining room, with a great deal of ambience. The menu was interesting and varied and the service was excellent. We enjoyed our meal very much and were quite envious of our friends who were on half-board with exactly the same a... More

Meal for two during recent holiday in Barbados where the initial impressions were very favourable. The welcome in the lounge for pre dinner drinks was warm and the drinks served very promptly but we were not offered a menu until requested twice. The menu itself was ordinary, and the food when it arrived proved the point. Three requests were made... More

Coral Reef is a hotel set in the most perfect setting. The rooms are I would say dated. We were offered the chance to view a plantation suite, the upgrade price was 7500 US dollars. We could not believe it , the plantation suite offered tv a plunge bath on the terrace. It's Barbados people say. Pricing themselves out of... More
