Hotel Coral Sea Water World. Reviews

Evaluation of the hotel service is contradictory. The hotel is rated at 4 stars plus. Reviews in the virtual network before the change of ownership in 2012 are very low-key. Prior to the renovation, Coral Sea Water World 5 * ("Soral Sea World Vortsoral", as it is still called in the search engines) was mainly focused on a contingent of vacationers from English-speaking countries. Therefore, the staff spoke only English or Arabic.

In recent years, the level of service has increased significantly, although it is inferior to service in hotels in the resorts of the Arab Emirates. Not all tourists are satisfied with the shallow coastal area of the sea, but for a family holiday this is the most suitable place. Tourists from Europe prefer to sunbathe on the hotel grounds and swim in the pool. Russians, as a rule, are located on the beach.

If you have at least an initial knowledge of English, then you can count on excellent service. Particularly noted by a small percentage of compatriots and tourists from the near abroad, which positively affects the quiet atmosphere of recreation. Despite the proximity of the airport, the sound of aircraft is not audible. Customers are positive about the home environment in the hotel, although there are some cases of discrimination against Russian speakers in favor of the English.
