Coralia Club

Opinion

Large property benefiting from attractive grounds and well spaced accommodation wings back from a spectacular beach. Although the swimming pool is comparatively small, most guests seem to congregate on the well furnished beach.

The water sports section including dive and windsurf centres are both well managed making this particularly suited to those adults and children looking to spend time in, on and under the water.

Exterior

Separated from the main road from the heavily shrubbed hedge, a large white arched gateway opens onto the driveway which extends the width of the resort.

Reception building is located immediately to the front and has a single-height of white facade with a wide forecourt bordered by trees and lawns. A few steps and a ramp lead up to the open arch where the passage continues to the open courtyard.

The lobby is accessed through wooden framed doors off the courtyard and features a grey marble effect floor and a long reception counter. Apart from a small internal garden and potted shrubs this is the extent of the main reception area.

The main restaurant is situated further on from the courtyard and stands on a single-height building with marble flooring, trellis like roofing and panoramic windows with views over the grounds. It is furnished with chairs with cushions at predominantly rectangular tables.

Between reception and the restaurant there are two lounge areas in an open air environment both offering comfortable seating.

The grounds are extensive and laid mainly to lawn with a small swimming pool located quite centrally and is furnished with sunloungers and parasols. 20 rooms are located in a 2-storey block while the remainder are located in single-storey clusters across the grounds.

To the northern end of the resort, on an elevated position, there is a beach bar which runs a very large water sports centre including dive school and windsurf facility. The southern end of the resort has a more recently built accommodation as well as a football pitch and two tennis courts.

At this end of the beach there are further water sporting facilities and a bar. The long sandy beach is well furnished sunloungers and fixed parasols and it is overlooked by a Thai a la carte restaurant.
