Guest reviews

The stay had some positives, but there are several areas that could be improved. The rooms are recently renovated and feel fresh, which is appreciated. However, some basic details appear to be overlooked, such as cleaning of smaller in-room items. I would also recommend avoiding connecting rooms unless needed, as sound carries quite easily between them. WiFi was inconsistent during the stay. Breakfast was also underwhelming and felt limited, especially compared to the quality of food served elsewhere in the hotel, which was noticeably better. The overall presentation of the property could benefit from more attention. The exterior appears somewhat unfinished or not well maintained, and some common areas feel a bit tired. At times, walking to the rooms felt more like passing through service areas than guest spaces. The pool area could use additional shade and umbrellas, and there are none available on the beach, which makes it less comfortable during the day. The pool environment can also be lively, which may not suit guests looking for a quieter atmosphere. The staff and service were excellent. Finally, there was an issue with being charged for two dinners that had already been paid directly by credit card. While I expect this will be resolved, it was an inconvenience that required additional time and follow-up. Overall, the hotel has potential, but greater attention to detail and consistency would significantly improve the guest experience.

Very polite and accommodating staff - they kept our room for us even when we arrived 3 days late because of the issues in the Middle East - they refunded us the unused nights without issues.

My husband and I stayed for 15 days at Coral Stand in March 2026. This was our fourth stay at the same hotel and we really appreciated the renewed rooms and the improved buffet. The staff was again as friendly and helpful as before and especially the front office manager Mr Chamara Cooray, who we knew from our previous visits as well, was as professional as ever and did his best to make us feel comfortable and welcome. We believe Coral Strand is the best located and guest-friendly hotel in all of Mahe…

The stay at Coral Strand was 10/10. All the staff were extremely helpful, polite and friendly especially Shihan at the front desk and waiter Prasanta. The hotel was clean, had delicious breakfast and the location was superb, right at the beach!
