Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“An elegant yet energetic flair accents this eight-acre oceanfront resort, right on the beach. The main lobby is a study in British colonial style, while the billiard room off the bar attracts a younger and hipper crowd. Guest rooms come in a variety of styles including suites, bungalows, and cottages.”

Telegraph review:

“A gorgeous get-away-from-it-all hideaway set on the unique pink sands of Harbour Island (a short water-taxi ride from Eleuthera), this is utter chilled-out relaxation in luxurious confines. It’s spread over eight tropical acres, and boasts achingly beautiful sea views that disappear to the horizon.”

The Coral Sands Hotel was an amazing place for a family vacation--great food & amenities!

The location and access to Harbour Island's pink sand beaches was perfect. The hotel had chairs, umbrellas, towels, boogie boards, paddle boards, floats and a kayak that you could use for no extra charge. The Beach Bar had by FAR the best food along the beach and was easy to access. Amazing spot to vacation!

The cost of water and wifi access wasn't great.

Beauty at it's best

We loved this hotel. It had an amazing view of the ocean, and the most comfortable bed we've ever slept on. The food was impeccable. We loved our dinner, so fresh and yummy. The beach was just down the nicely tailored rock walkway to the most beautiful pink sand beach! We loved everything about our stay here.

That we didn't get to stay longer and enjoy the hotel and beach more.

The location cannot be beat. Views are incredible. Property is tranquil and clean with everything you need. Food is excellent. We loved staying here and would definitely return.

Cocktail menu could be more creative. Breakfast was great but not very friendly to dairy-free diets. Would love to see a coconut yogurt or some local vegan pastries (both are made at Sweet Spot Cafe on the island so it could be a great collaboration).

Great decor, big rooms, beautiful - would stay again!

everything is up to date and new. If you like beautiful decor you will be happy here. I also like that they had a pool as well as direct beach access. close by to town and all the good restaurants as well.

honestly nothing!

A nice value on a beautiful beach.

The location is unbeatable and the beach is perfect. They were nice enough to upgrade me to a very large room that was spacious and nicely laid out.

I see where they were going with the decor and the vibe, but it felt a little bit cheaply done. All of the intentions were there but I felt the finishes were definitely not on a luxury level. The pool area could’ve also been spruced up and had nicer furniture.

Very good

I was upgraded to a very large room which was nice and I think would be great to come back with my family. The breakfast and lunch were both good. For this part of the Bahamas, it’s a really nice, good sized hotel for a family visit at a good value.

There was no coffee in the room, I think a nice touch would be an espresso machine in the room. Also there were roosters and chickens on the property that were very cute, but also woke me up very early in the morning.

The most wonderfully relaxing holiday I can remember! The hotel is epitome of barefoot elegance

Location on a beautiful beach. Staff was beyond helpful and always friendly- very warm team of people working here! Our room had everything we needed to be totally comfortable.

Wish they would include one free large bottles of water per person per day; a litre bottle at the bar or restaurant is $15! In general, the island is very expensive.

Great first visit and can't wait to return in 2022

The complimentary breakfast was great, but I usually got an order of eggs and bacon to go with it-also great. And such a beautiful setting/seating area to enjoy the view with our meals

A memorable family getaway.

In general, the the food was gourmet quality with a price to match. We generally stayed with the Continental Breakfast included in the room rate. It too was very good quality. The beach setting was superb, with wonderful beach views from the beach bar, the pool, and the restaurant. Hotel staff were very friendly, even with high season weariness.

Room cleanliness was just adequate. Resort restaurant was closed one evening for a private party, without notifying guests.

It doesn’t get any better!

Loved Coral Sands - perfect location on the beach And I would rate this a 5 star resort- pool and beach bar were excellent. And compared to the Dunmore This had less of a pretentious feel which was welcoming. Spent 2 nights here for my 34th anniversary. You will not be disappointed….guaranteed. We had room 9 overlooking the pool and the beach. It was perfect. Staff was exceptional and room came with a continental breakfast which was plenty. Close to town, but away from town. Golf cart will get you anywhere and too many great choices for dinner within 2-5 minute golf cart ride.

There is nothing I didn’t like- been in the Abacos since 1974- but after the hurricane, this was a welcome surprise.

The room was beautiful and the staff was wonderful.

Couldn’t use the balcony because it smelled like fried food because the vent was coming out just below the balcony from the kitchen.
