My stay at Coral By The Sea was quite the mixed bag. On one hand, the location is fantastic, just a short walk from the beach and many dining options. However, the room condition was disappointing, to say the least, with cleanliness being a notable issue. While the staff was friendly, the overall experience left much to be desired. 😞

The rooms were small and not very clean during my stay. The beds had thin sheets, and the bathroom appeared neglected. I also found the water pressure in the shower quite excessive, which made for an unpleasant experience.

I found the on-site dining options to be somewhat pricey for what they offered. There are definitely more affordable and better choices nearby.

The hotel facilities were lacking. There was only one small elevator, which struggled to accommodate luggage. The overall state of the hotel feels dated and in need of significant renovations.

I recently stayed at Coral By The Sea and it was definitely a mixed bag. The location is fantastic, close to the beach and some great eateries, but the hotel itself needs some serious TLC. The service was hit or miss, and while some of the amenities were decent, I found the overall experience somewhat disappointing.

Rooms

The room was basic but not overly dirty. However, there were no washcloths, and the decor felt outdated. The smell of mustiness from the carpet wasn't great either.

The old elevator was a bit of a safety concern, plus the pool was nice but colder than I expected. They did have good car rental facilities nearby, which was convenient.

My stay at Coral by the Sea was a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, just a couple of blocks from Isla Verde beach, making it easy to enjoy the sunny shores. However, the hotel itself was quite dated and in need of some renovations. The staff was generally friendly and accommodating, but the room was smaller than expected, and the décor left something to be desired. Still, for the price point, it served as a decent base for exploring all that Puerto Rico has to offer! 🌴

My stay at Coral By The Sea was pleasant overall, though it did come with some drawbacks. The location is fantastic, just a few blocks from the beach and close to many eateries. However, the room could have used some updates, and I did encounter a few cleanliness issues. Still, for a budget-friendly beach getaway, it served its purpose well.

The room was small but functional for a quick stay. While it was clean, I noticed some sand on the bed and floor. The A/C unit was a bit loud, which made sleep a challenge.

While I didn’t eat at the hotel, the nearby restaurants offered a variety of options. However, I found dining out in Puerto Rico to be a bit pricey for what you get.

The hotel offers basic amenities, and the ice-maker on my floor was a nice touch. However, the lack of a fridge or microwave was somewhat inconvenient.

I stayed at Coral By The Sea during a stormy layover, and honestly, it was a mixed bag. The price was reasonable and it was super close to the airport, which was a huge plus for me. The room itself, however, was pretty grim—small, dark, and felt like a relic from the past. While I appreciated the friendly staff and the neat diner on-site, I wouldn't recommend it for a longer stay, especially if you're looking to enjoy your vacation.

The diner on-site served decent meals, but the prices felt a bit high for the quality offered. I definitely found better dining options nearby.

There are basic facilities like car hire available, but this isn't a luxury stay. The whole place feels more like a motel than a boutique hotel.
