Overall Ratings & Reviews Coral Gardens on Grace Bay

Construction noise

Jerome is such a great ambassador for coral gardens - always a great place to stay

We visited in November 2024, the location is absolutely the best. Having the beach right at your doorstep can’t be beat. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

My family of 4 stayed at Coral Gardens for in early June 2024. We loved the location and the amount of space. We loved all of the room and the amazing ocean view we had at Coral Gardens! Coral Gardens was very clean, the A/C worked well, and the staff were friendly and helpful. There were plenty of chairs with umbrellas on the beach and fresh towels were provided at the desk by the beach. Snorkeling by the resort is amazing! It was nice not having to drive or take a boat anywhere else to experience wonderful snorkeling. We saw a spotted eagle ray, a turtle, stingrays, parrot fish, barracuda, and lots of other pretty fish and coral. The location was convenient with a rental car. The Somewhere Bar and Restaurant is on property and Jojo’s/Dune is next door at Windsong. We only had to drive a short distance to many other dining options. Our only complaints about the property are that we had several burned out lightbulbs, making one of the bedrooms very dark, and one of the toilets didn’t flush well (we had to hold the handle down and flush twice). The large soaking tub in the master bath looked nice but wouldn’t fill up because the drain plug leaked water. There was a little construction noise from next door but it wasn’t bad. One morning, there was a lot of noise and gas fumes that we could smell from our balcony, but I think they were doing something on property (landscaping possibly). Overall, we really enjoyed staying at Coral Gardens and we would return.

The staff was very friendly and the beach was great but we booked a room with an ocean view that we did not have and there was loud construction right next to our unit. We were not allowed to change units and the manager would not give us a discount as we booked through Hotels.com

Private friendly and well located to reef and excursion pick up.

Only downside, no elevator to upper floors

If you like to snorkel this location is perfect. The reef is right in front of the complex. We snorkeled other locations and this one was the best. The beach was perfect and wasn't as crowded as other areas along Grace Bay. Chairs, umbrellas, and towels are provided. The unit was big enough for us and our two girls and had everything we needed. Scott and staff were friendly and super helpful. I will stay here again. The only negative is a lack of elevator. It wasn't an issue for us but if you have mobility issues I would recommend not staying on the upper floors.

Great location to snorkeling. Somewhere bar is the best

We loved the proximity to the reef, the beach, the umbrellas and lounge chairs, Somewhere Cafe and the live entertainment. Our unit had a beautiful view of the pool and the ocean. The furnishings were very tasteful and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again. If you like to snorkel, this is the perfect location because the reef is so close to the shore. You won’t be disappointed in Coral Gardens!

rooms are spacious, clean & beach is awesome

Coral gardens has a clean, comfortable setup right by the beach, complete with a snorkeling reef. The Somewhere Cafe is a great option for dining or drinks.

The beach is amazing! The snorkeling is good. They should post signs on the beach umbrella and in more places that snorkelers must not go in the circle of buoys but around the OUTSIDE of it. I would be sad if they added a bunch of hammocks. Highly recommend this place!!!

Beautiful location right beside the Bight reef. Great options for dining at Somewhere Cafe and plenty of others close by (love Mango Reef too). Staff is friendly and helpful, nice facilities and well maintained.

Loved the spaciousness and size of the condo. Some things did work properly.

The view is amazing and having the best snorkeling right off of the beach was great! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

This was the worst vacation I’ve ever been on. The only restaurant with food and drink available was closed. I was not notified. Felt like we were on a deserted island. Work harder than I do at my job just to get food and water and try to have a good time. Island was deserted. They’re yourself the horror of going.

This is a fantastic, large property in the best location on the island. Great staff, location and amazing snorkeling right in front on the complex

When we arrived at Coral Gardens around 1pm, the room wasn’t ready but they kept the luggage for us so we could go down to the beach. As we got to the beach, the attendant asked if we were staying there and we said we were waiting for the room. He didn’t seem to believe but still walked us to the chairs. When we got to the chairs, he again asked us “are you sure you’re staying here?”. We got a little offended. We rented 2 snorkeling sets for $20 a set. Gave him $100 bill and he gave me back $50. I was like “hmmmm…” and he said he would be back for another $10. When we left the beach at 4:30pm to get the room, he never came back. Well..$10, mo biggies. We got our room on 2nd floor, a one bedroom suite with ocean view #4201. It’s one of the last few rooms on the far West side of the property, adjacent to the public beach access. The room was well equipped and the view was beautiful. But since it’s next to public beach access, we had one unpleasant day that there was a group of about 100 local people at the beach that day and they blasted music so loud that we couldn’t hear the wave sounds or be able to read a book. And because it’s not a private beach at Coral Gardens, we noticed visitors not from the hotel came here to snorkel too and since they couldn’t get the chairs, they sat on sand in front of our chairs. Btw, this hotel needs to issue wristbands to guests! Great snorkeling here. A little choppy in the afternoon.

This was the perfect property for my family which consists of myself, husband and two daughters (ages 12 and 9.) Our flight was slightly delayed, but Scott was there to greet us and provide the details we needed. We rented a car (which is a must,) and picked up groceries after we got our luggage in the room. Of course we weren't in the mood to cook anything after traveling, so having the Somewhere restaurant on the property was right on time. We loved being able to walk out to the beach and snorkel right where we were staying. We never had an issue getting chairs and umbrellas as Jerome and Moses really looked out for the guests. We stayed in 2302 and loved everything about it!
