Broken dining chairs, unpainted walls, broken bathroom fixtures, saggy beds this hotel stay had it all. Unfortunately as each unit has individual owners it appears the resort has no standards and as a result our appartments looked like the last time it recieved any maintanence was some time ago.

Coral Sands is a nice resort in a great location, across the street from Trinity Beach. The resort has several apartments over 3 levels, with underground parking, but no elevator. We are seniors and getting our luggage up and down the stairs was a feat in itself. The property has beautiful gardens and a large pool - great for families. Communication with the resort could be improved. The resort emails that are sent to guests are mostly non-replyable,so this does not allow for two-way communication. That aside, the resort is well kept and only a few steps from the beach.

Fumes.
There were many positives: a large pool, free BBQ's, & a large 2BR unit which was well-supplied & fitted out. BUT They allow smoking on the balconies, which was an issue. Our unit was in the L-shaped bend, and was one of the few where a neighboring unit balcony not only gave view of our balcony but into the front of our unit. Wouldn't be an issue except the next-door resident (? permanent) was a chain-smoker (2-4 times per hour!), & the predominant SE winds & the laws of physics resulted in the smoke eddying & in fact concentrating into the SW corner & us being prisoners - unable to sit or air our towels/bathers/clothes on the balcony, nor open our doors. Even with the patio doors shut our room smelled of smoke, & the stairwell (having permanently semi-open wooden slats) smelled fiercely from the concentrated fumes. Smoking status is not a usual requirement to be disclosed on booking, but I would have to suggest that anyone wanting to stay here specifically ask to have a room away from the bend or NOT next to a room with a known smoker.

Quiet area, though resort rooms were a bit dated. Although it didnt matter to me, there was no daily housekeeping to make up the room. I checked in on a Sunday at midday and the reception was closed, which wasnt a great start. A quick phone call gave me access to my key (in a lockbox) When i went to offically check-in on Monday morning, the receptionist was 30 mins late to work which made me late for some.plans i had up in thr rainforest. Better communication would have helped here. All that said, it was a pretty good place to stay, and id probably return now that i know what to expect.

Dirty and smelly!
The room was dirty and smelt terrible when we arrived even though the patio doors had been left open. The dish washer was blocked and the floors had not been mopped. The cupboards and draws smelt terrible, I washed everything before I used it. We never ate anything prepared at the property. The air conditioning was non existent we had the fan on all the time to help with humidity. The beds were acceptable with clean bedding but not enough pillows and the mattress was an industrial and hard. The apartment could have been a lot cleaner and a bit of attention to house keeping to make sure residue dirt and smells are eradicated would go a long way to making this an acceptable accommodation. I would not recommend.

Beautiful Stat
Our stay was wonderful and very comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. Communication was excellent. Location was perfect on the waterfront and next door to Italian restaurant L’Unico which was convenient for us to pick up dinner. The view from our balcony overlooking the pool, gardens and the waterfront was beautiful and picturesque to enjoy the morning coffee and a glass of wine in the afternoon. Our 2brm unit was spacious and had all the amenities. We loved the idea of self service apartment which had all the bits and pieces to get guests started. Would definitely recommend. We loved our stay and will definitely return in the future.

The grounds, pool, and location are 5 stars. The unit, we were in was 2 stars. The units are individually owned and the quality is dependent upon the owner. My sister and i booked the same "superior" 2 bedroom apartment. The layout is the same. The quality was polar opposite. Our unit, 40, has not been updated since at last 1990 and not painted in the last 5 years. Mold and rust in both bathrooms. A broken curtain in the living room providing no way to block out a clear view from the courtyard into our entire unit. We could not use the living space after dark. The king size bed was two twin cots pushed together and held in place by a thin fitted sheet. The front desk did ask if we would like to switch units. We declined as we only had 2 more nights and did not want to repack. Unit 38 was recently fully renovated and was lovely. Good luck rolling the dice on which unit you receive as they charge the same for less then motel quality as they do for hotel quality.
