Coral by the Sea Hotel is in fact, by, the sea. Not too much of a walk. Not too much of anything. The shower was literally half the size of any I have ever seen. Lamp shades of orange and maroon were made of a piece of cloth. Turning on all 4 lights provided a dim room in which reading... More

I am not the pickiest person in the world. I can live with an average hotel without all the frills on occasion to try to save, especially for one night while in cruise transit, but I would not stay here again. The room was clean, no sign of bugs or anything. Linens and towels were also clean. The hotel is... More

We stayed at Coral by the Sea and it was "not disgusting" and not "filthy" or the "worst hotel we have even been. I would recommend this to anyone. Rooms are adequate for s short stay, beach within walking distance, scooter rentals across the street. Staff was cordial and professional also. We saw no "bugs" or anything else. If i... More

we were looking for a small place we could set our bags and enjoy the island. The hotel is small in comparison to the Ritz and Hampton nearby, but for 100 dollars less than what they charge it was perfectly fine by me. Liz and Herman were very nice and welcoming always asking about our adventure for the day and... More

The door was chipped right next to the door knob as if someone had tried to break in, the elevator was in very poor shape and did not accommodate more than 3 people at a time, bugs in the room, etc. We wedged a chair under the door knob as we tried to sleep that night. Thank goodness it was... More

When you first walk in you think "what did I get myself into?" The lobby, elevator, hallways and stairwell are in definite need of repair and updating but the room itself was clean. I was pleasantly surprised by the room and the restaurant attached to the hotel. It isn't a hotel you'd want to hang out in but to sleep... More

We had reservations with this hotel through Expedia.com before and after our cruise out of San Juan. The day we arrived we knew it was going to be bad! The place is an absolute dump! Only one elevator that only can hold 3 people at a time...the rooms are beyond disgusting! The smell of urine overtook the air. The beds... More

Our room was all right but not the best. It seemed clean enough but the shower leaked terribly and the water was all over the floor. The sheet on the bed must have been for a twin size because it did not even cover the mattress. It was near the beach and casinos so there was a lot going on,... More
