We had a great stay at the Coral Mist Hotel. When we first arrived, the room we were given did not match the description on Booking.com; however the staff acted quickly to correct this and by the next morning we were given a room that met our expectations. It truly felt like our home away from home for the two weeks that we stayed there. The location is great, walking distance to shops, grocery store, and restaurants. The beach location is beautiful, the staff were very welcoming and the hotel has good amenities.

I can't think of anything we didn't like.

Very nice small hotel sharing the facilities and grounds with the Blue Orchid hotel. Very spacious room and bathroom with useful kitchenette including a cooker, fridge freezer, microwave, toaster, etc and enough equipment to cook stuff if you wish; we didn't! There is enough storage and a safe, the bed was huge and comfortable. We had a lovely balcony with the most amazing view of the sea and beach, the ground floor rooms have a patio and less privacy. There is a lift. The staff are helpful and happy to book restaurants and taxi's if needed. The position was good, plenty of restaurants nearby and two supermarkets within a few minutes walk, it's also on a bus route. The crowning glory was the fabulous, clean sandy beach with plenty of loungers and umbrellas. It was mainly only used by residents so always quiet and not crowded. Be aware groceries are very expensive in Barbados but eating out reasonably priced in most restaurants. The locals use the Worthing Square food court for dining and takeaways, about 7 mins walk away with lots of choice from various van outlets. I'm not sure why Booking.com rated it an 8; I would give it at least a 9.

The hotel was great value for the on beach location and facilities offered. Obviously you can't expect 5 star facilities such as room service etc. The rooms were clean and cheerful but, especially the bathroom, quite dated. However it was spacious, with a good shower. There is a restaurant on site with a fairly limited menu but good for breakfast or lunch. It can be open in the evening but only if booked in advance, we didn't use it.

The location could not have been better. Staff are super friendly and will happily engage in conversation with you. Shout out to Deborah and Melissa and the girls at reception, whatever the hotel pays you it is not enough. I understand some reviews saying hotel needs some TLC but hey, the rooms were clean and we did not have a problem with anything at the hotel. A Taxi from the airport to hotel is 62 BD around £ 30 which is a bit steep for a 5 mile journey, but it is what it is. The small vans that travel back and forth continuously, run up and down the main road blasting the horn to see if you want a ride was a very cheap and efficient way of travelling along the coast. The cost of the ride is a flat rate 3.50 BD ( £1-50) usually packed and with music belting out, but "when in Rome" The Tiki Bar, a 4 minute walk has a cracking deal for lounger and umbrella, price includes 5 beers and 25 bd off a meal. Be aware like all barbadian food outlets expect to wait and I mean up to 1-hr, so relax and enjoy the view. We used the worthing food mall, great takeaway food at a reasonable price. For snorkeling I recommend Carlisle Bay there are a couple of wrecks a hundred yards off of the beach, ask the deck chair vendors, I went to the very first row of chairs coming from Worthing, you can see buoys, thats where the sunken boats are located. Plenty of Turtles fish and stingrays to be seen and easy to swim out to. We also liked Miami Beach not for snorleling but is within walking distance of Oistens food courts. (4mins)

All good.

Because there was a problem with my booking I got upgraded. The upgrading was excellent.

Although the beach location is very good I could not get a drink from a beach bar during mid-afternoon. There is a restaurant but it was closed when I wanted to use it, Also, I considered the atmosphere at the restaurant somewhat lacking in warmth . Not particularly welcoming.

The location is fantastic and we have been visiting Barbados for over 30 years and this is one of the best locations for us. The view from the balcony is just amazing. Our Kingsize bed was so comfortable and we slept so well and the AC worked really efficiently. The Ocean Courtyard Restaurant on site was a bonus and Tabbi, her gorgeous sons and staff are doing a great job. Asher the beautiful waitress was charming as was Darren. Always a smile on their faces. The cocktails were great and the food delicious in a great setting. Letesha on the front desk was just a delight and could not do enough for us and was super helpful always with a beautiful smile. Reggie on facilities was lovely and full of advise on trips etc. Having the security around the property made us feel very secure as the property is fairly open to road and car park.

The Hotel Rooms could do with a refurb especially bathrooms, showers and kitchen. We were staying a lovely 1 bedroom suite and the bed was fantastic as were the pillows, however our friends were in 2 bedroom apartment and several studios and there experience was not as nice as ours. Could do with upgrading with some mirrors and pictures etc. The WIFI was ok but you had to keep logging in which was a bit of a nuisance but at least it was free and worked.

Perfect location, close to everything, very clean and great beach with free chairs and towels, the view from all the rooms is spectacular and the sound of the waves at night is therapeutic. Hotel is a bit tired, but the rooms are very clean and spacious. We had everything what we needed during our stay including fully equipped kitchen. They have enough free parking lots. I would definitely go back

Free the fish under the stairs in the lobby! There is absolutely no need for this...

Breakfast was OK. The menu needs to be changed. At the very top, there is a sentence "Coffee or tea is included in every selection below", but when I ordered one of the items, they charged me for coffee. When I questioned it, they said the free coffee was only for the most expensive item. On another visit, the menu said oatmeal was 12 Barbadian dollars but they charged me 18 BD.

Other than the complaints about breakfast, I can't think of anything.Wondersf

Fantastic staff, very clean rooms, great restaurant, including breakfast (fishcakes and the full breakfast!) And all on the beachfront and in the best location on the South Coast imho. A short walk from Worthing Food Court, supermarkets, the next beach (Rockley) which has the great Tikibar and of course Chefette! Good snorkeling in Dover just a walk away or take the ZR 5mins to Carlisle to basically see turtles every single time. Also every Wednesday the Coral Mist manager hosts complimentary drinks poolside! What a lovely touch. We stayed at Christmas and a great Christmas dinner buffet was available with advance booking - but many thanks for getting us in without booking! Many thanks to all the cleaning, security, service and management staff at Coral Mist for the perfect winter getaway!

Beach was nice . Enough lounge chairs & Umbrellas. Two pools were a bonus .Cleaning staff were very friendly. Especially Deborah. The Facilty was kept clean . Restaurant staff was very nice . Especially Darren & Trisso . View from our balcony was nice . Reggie the tour guide was very personable & informative

The beach towels were frayed & old . There weren't enough towels available daily & late being ready for use . The rooms could use a fresh coat of paint on doors , walls & ceiling . Air conditioning in the living room & kitchen area would be beneficial.The other restaurants we visited offered more wine per glass for the same price. Some of the reception staff were not as helpful as others .Tesha was very personable & helpful . The meet & Greet should have more appetizer selection .& drink variety . There should be a daily Happy hour . Some loungers had broken slats . And cushion were worn & faded .

The location was fantastic. Close to ALL amenities such as restaurants and shopping and of course beaches. Everything is close by and walking distance. The rooms were very hygienic and clean upon arrival. Friendly staff and amazing food in house.

The room itself was a bit noisy as outside noises penetrated very loudly during the night. Horns shouts etc were heard. This is due to a window being placed in the bathroom and near the front door. Would love to have this fixed.
