We were nine nights, first time all inclusive, at the Coral hotel. I would genuinely say it punched above its four stars. The food was fresh and sufficiently variable over the nine nights not to be repetitive. The local drinks as part of the package were perfectly fine. The rooms were clean and attended to every day. The staff were first class, attentive and friendly. They could not be faulted. It was my birthday while there and Tony surprise and delight I was presented wit a bottle of bubbly and a cake! Well done! The facilities are adequate but a open lounge would make the most of its perfect situation. The only lounge fo an evening drink is within and slightly characterless. The hotel is really two separate buildings which is not really a problem but the lifts do not serve the floors without resorting to some stair sections. I understand that the hotel is closing for extensive upgrading which I am sure will address the minor inconveniences and warrant four stars. It can be fully recommended but I’m afraid you’ve missed your chance for a couple of years!

We all found this to be an excellent hotel. The food was varied ,there was always at least two meat and one fish choice at the main meals and plenty of it.The rooms were adequate and we weren't feeling hemmed in at all.We booked a pool view room and were on the 4th floor-this looked over the pool and out into the bay,a wonderful view.The staff were all very good, we particularly liked the pool bar staff-they were super friendly and provided a very good service as did the staff in the downstairs bar.There was plenty of room with the sunbeds. The position of the hotel was also very good, you were just minutes from the town's harbour and there were plenty of bars to visit. It was very good hotel over all and is well worth another visit. There was talk of the hotel being closed for refurbishment next year, lets hope they keep or re-employ all the wonderful staff .

We arrived in Crete on 09/08/19 looking forward to a wonderful holiday, hiring a car getting out & about +++.The next day while we were at the pool and having lunch at the snack bar someone with a key card and a key to over-ride the safe pass code walked into our room on the 5th floor and stole every penny that we had in the safe!!!! There is no doubt that this was an inside job done by least two members of staff. This happened to guests in 3 other rooms on the same day one couple were on their honeymoon!! My 83 year old mother was another victim and a Russian guy, we all had one thing in common we were all sitting at the pool /snack bar. This was our 4th visit to this hotel and our 40th year of holidaying on the beautiful island of Crete so its not easy for us to be writing this. Absolutely no one from the Hotel staff or the holiday rep offered us any support in fact we were asked to KEEP IT QUIET. We didn't expect them to give us money but a little help dealing with the police would have been a start. The two Weeks consisted of several trips to the police station(not tourist police) with obvious language barrier, meetings with Hotel managers who were from sister Hotel Hermes and didn't bother to turn up or had a day a off instead!!!! No one knocked our door or rang us to say anything!! No actually they did send two plums a banana an apple and two kiwi fruit to our room! What an insult!!! We were treated as if we'd lost our beach towels !!! So you can follow instructions in the AVRA directory in your hotel room and also in the Essential holiday information in the JET 2 terms and conditions which both urge you to use the SAFE in your hotel bedroom but actually it counts for nothing because 1) they are obviously NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE and 2) if any member of hotel staff who has access to key card & safe over-ride keys want some easy CASH then bingo. YOU WILL BE LEFT WITH ZERO AND NO ONE WILL GIVE A HOOT. A NOTE TO THE THIEVES IF YOU READ THIS....THERE WAS A MATCHING BRACELET TO THE NECKLACE YOU STOLE FROM ME!!! YOU WERE OBVIOUSLY IN TOO MUCH OF A HURRY TO SEE IT !!!!
