Es war eine traumhafter Aufenthalt.. Das App. hat eine sehr gute Lage. Es sind wenige Gehminuten bis zum Strand. Zudem hat es eine super Pool-Bar mit tollen meals and drinks. Die Angestellten sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. In der Anlage ist auch ein kleiner Supermarkt vorhanden, welcher Cola, Wasser, WC-Papier usw. verkauft. In 20 min. Fussmarsch am wunderschönen Strand entlang, erreicht man auch Port Lucaya. Das App. war in einem sauberen Zustand und hat alles was es für einen Strandurlaub braucht.. z.B. Liegestühle und Kühlbox. Eine Klimaanlage, welche es def. benötigt ist auch vorhanden. Die Kommunikation mit dem Eigentümer hat auch tatelos geklappt. We will come back... asap ;-) Thank ya

A Week at Coral Beach

Guest: PJ (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada)
Date of Stay: 04/14/11 Review Submitted: 05/02/11

The plaque on the door said it all: "Welcome to Paradise". From the bright and clean Studio, to the best of the beaches we visited, to the kitchen provisions and linens (more than enough), to the storage, to the helpful and pleasant people we met. Tucked into the Southeast corner of the complex overlooking the gardens and pathways, it was very restful and relaxing to be out on the balcony. Just a short walk down the beach to the colourful Lucaya Market, the entertainment in Count Basie Square and the variety of restaurants was very pleasant, and the appearance of the Rays in the shallow water near the shore in the early evening was amazing. So too was the snorkelling at Paradise Cove and again off the sailing Catamaran out of the Port. The caves, pathways, boardwalks and beach at Gold Rock are another must see. As there was still plenty to see and not enough time to see it all, we look forward to going back and for a longer stay.

Charming Studio

Guest: C and C (Nova Scotia, Canada)
Date of Stay: 03/27/11 Review Submitted: 04/05/11

This studio is bright,clean with lovely decor. It is a charming property set in beautiful surroundings. The location allowed us to take maximum advantage of the pool and beach. We enjoyed the walk along the beach to Port Lucaya where there was access to restaurants, shopping and entertainment. We rented a car to travel to Lucayan National Park to see Ben's Cave and Gold Island Beach. Clear and efficient communication by the owner made the rental process worry free.

Our Week in Grand Bahamas

Guest: George (Addlestone, Surrey, UK)
Date of Stay: 02/01/11 Review Submitted: 02/14/11

My wife and I spent a very nice week at this property which was nicely situated a few paces from the beach in a quiet area. The presence of a nice little bar and restaurant just off the beach was a very convenient addition. Port Lucaya was a 10-15 minute walk away and provided very good restaurants shops, and bars. The facilities were good and the apartment was very well equipped even providing a cool water fountain which we found very useful.. The owner resonded to our requirements very well . We would have no problem in staying there again or recommending it to our friends.

Fantastic property fabulous location

Guest: Honeymooners (Romsey Hampshire England)
Date of Stay: 12/19/10 Review Submitted: 01/13/11

This is a fantastic property in a perfect location. We stayed here on our honeymoon for 3 weeks from 19th december 2010. The buildings and grounds are well maintained and clean. With garden and sea views from the balcony we were impressed with this spacious, clean condo. Everything you need is here to enjoy your stay. The pool area is clean and tidy and there are tables and sun loungers for you to use. There is a pool bar serving drinks and meals. The beach is a few steps from the pool area and has clean white sand and beautiful clear water. Staff at the hotel were always cheerful and helpful. There is a washing machine and dryer on each floor so no problem in washing your clothes. It is only a 15 minute walk to Port Lucaya with its bars,cafes,shops and restaurants or a short bus ride for about a dollar. Michael has been very helpful right from the start always prompt in answering any questions. We will most certainly be coming back again and would recommend this property to anyone, as long as they don't pick the weeks we want.

Date of Stay: 06/30/10 Review Submitted: 07/09/10

We enjoyed having a full kitchen and saved a lot of money by being able to cook our own meals. Very spacious place with all of the little extras, felt like home. We rented a car and felt this place was very centrally located to all the attractions we wanted to see. Easy driving to Lucayan National Park, West End, Paradise Cove/Deadman's Reef, etc. Fun to be able to walk to Our Lucaya, casino, and Marketplace from the hotel on the beach...easy walk and close to several shops. Very clean property and grounds, safe too! Nice pool, restaurant, and beach areas. Thanks for a great place to stay in Freeport!

Thanksgiving week, 2009

Guest: rushdeb (Co. Springs)
Date of Stay: 11/22/09 Review Submitted: 02/18/10

My husband and I stayed at the condo over Thanksgiving week and had a wonderful time. The location could not have been better, in the middle of a quiet beach, but close enough to walk to the restaurants and shopping of Port Lucaya. The best drinks and food were steps away from our condo with a newly opened restaurant/beach bar. We did not have a car and managed well with buses- the nearest stop was about a block away. The activities we bought included transportation to different parts of the island (snorkeling, kayaking, etc). The condo was well supplied. comfortable and cool. The staff of the building was very helpful and the building and condo were clean and well maintained. (no bugs) The owner was very easy to work with, responding quickly to inquiries. We definitely would stay here again and hopefully will be lucky to do so! Our time there is unforgettable, Thanks Michael!

Perfect location

Guest: Justyna & Shaun (Hamilton, NJ)
Date of Stay: 05/23/09 Review Submitted: 06/14/09

The location of the condo was perfect, close to the beach, major hotels (Westin and Sheraton), casino and famous Port Lucaya Marketplace which offers plenty of restaurants, shopping, and live music on the weekends. You can also schedule there water activities, rent bikes, etc… I recommend the island tour, it`s about 4 hours long and takes you around the island. Overall, we had a great time in Bahamas!

Quiet Location with Lovely Beach

Guest: Bonnies4winns (Mid-Michigan)
Date of Stay: 03/20/09 Review Submitted: 04/08/09

We stayed in Michael's unit for 8 days in March. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals in. The bed is comfortable, there is a water cooler for fresh water, there are beach chairs, beach towels and coolers to use with was much appreciated. There is a wonderful chaise lounge to sit in by the sliding glass door. We had a nice view of the gardens and we could see the ocean from one end of the balcony. The unit is one from the front, which made it a quick walk to the pool or beach. The building itself is older and needs some repair in places, but overall is nice. The lobby is bright and cheerful and we were pleasantly greeted when we arrived. The grounds are nice with pretty flowering shrubs and palms. The pool is unheated and was cold when we were there, but the beach is wide, clean and very quiet. The water is crystal clear with beautiful shades of blues. There is a new poolside bar, but it wasn't open yet when we were there. We felt very safe at Coral Beach. The bus stop is less than a block away and we never waited more than 3-4 minutes for a bus to come by. Our favorite bus driver was Peter and he was very friendly and gave us his number to call him when we wanted to go somewhere and he would pick us up. He took us to the Wednesday night fish fry at Smith's Cove and to Garden of the Groves which is very pretty. We highly recommend Trikk Pony for horse back riding along the beach and "swim with the dolphins" which was a great experience. We loved our vacation in this unit at Coral Beach and hope to go back soon.

Coral beach review

Guest: G and T (New York)
Date of Stay: 03/01/09 Review Submitted: 03/13/09

I had a great time here. My girlfriend and I rented a scooter and drove all around the island. The area was nice and the staff at the hotel were very helpful with directing us where to go. All you had to do was ask and they were glad to help direct you to a good place to eat or a nice spot for sightseeing. The room was also very quite and we were able to get some well needed relaxation time. I would definitely come back another time, and would recommend it to anyone who just needs to relax.

Coral Beach Studio

Guest: Mel from Canada (Canada)
Date of Stay: 01/08/09 Review Submitted: 02/10/09

We stayed in this studio for a month in January 09. The location is very nice being on a long sandy beach that we walked every day. The Lucaya Marketplace is less than a mile and the grocery store is a 45 minute walk. The jitney busses stop a block away and will take you anywhere in the area for $1.25. We used the service a lot and were favorably impressed. The condo is in an older building but the staff is very helpful and friendly. Overall a good value for the money.

My wife and I just returned and had a wonderful time. The unit was clean, right by the pool and beach. The people in the complex were very friendly. We will retun. It was perfect for a couple. The owner was very helpful, answered all of our questions patiently and provided good infomation. I had imagined the place would be a little bit larger, but it didn't prove to be a negative. With weather like that and being so close to port lucaya we were rarely in the room.

Home away from home

Guest: Conchy Joe (Sweden)
Date of Stay: 10/08/08 Review Submitted: 11/14/08

Probably the best place to stay in Freeport, Lucaya area. Private part of Taino beach, nice pool area, just 15 min suntaning walk down to all the action by the hotels (if you want some of it), shopping and "fika" (coffee break). Do not miss having your conch salad at Billy Joes at the waterfront by Sheraton. The condo was well equipped with everything you need for your stay. A plus was the phone for local calls so you could order for Dominaos pizzas and such. The complex has a nice reception and even a convinient store. We travelled with a young boy and it was great to have your own space instead of staying at a expensive hotel and eat out every meal. Rental car is highly recommended, not for this place specific, but to get around theisland in general. Do not miss to visit Gold Rock Beach out east at low tide or Deadmans Reef out west for great snorkling. Michael was relly helpful along the way with quick respone to e-mails and the whole stay passed by, all to fast, without a glitch. You can visit all year round in the land of perpetual June, however the summer months are scorching hot. In late August the annual Basra swim race finish in the ocean off Coral Beach with a big party by the pool. Do not miss it if you are visiting. Great visit, we will be back ...

Girls Holiday

Guest: Sheli (St. Paul, MN USA)
Date of Stay: 05/16/08 Review Submitted: 05/24/08

I just got back home today from a wonderful stay at Coral Beach on the Grand Bahama Island. Our girls holiday was absolutely fabulous! The studio was in the most perfect location for us. We were much happier with our place than of my relatives who spent enormous amounts of money at the huge hotels. It was a 15 minute walk down the beach to Port Lucaya where all the action is. The walk was one of our favorite parts of the trip as it was so gorgeous. The beach out front is amazing. Not too crowded, soft sand, and clear water. Everything was provided at the studio that we needed. Cooler, beach towels, chairs for the beach so we didn't have to rent any, numbers to taxi's, fresh drinking water and much more. I would recommend this studio to anyone looking for a great stay on the Grand Bahama Island.

Hi Michael—Well we are back and we had a great time! Your unit is really pretty and we loved the location—the beach was wonderful and except for one storm we had very good weather. As beautiful as your unit is there was a bit too much in it because we had to really smusch our stuff for lack of shelf space. If we had had use of the shelves under the microwave it would have helped. We enjoyed most of the activities on the island and plan on returning. Jamie

My wife and I used the condo for our honeymoon. We had a great time. The condo was perfect for the two of us. The beach at this hotel is the best beach on the island! Our favorite restaurant was La Dolce Vida. Stay away from Willy Broadleaf - it is a subpar buffet for way too much money. Blackbeard's Landing was closed during our stay, but the beach was still fun. Parasailing and snorkling were incredible. We will definately come back and stay here. Great condo and great vacation. Tyler and Heather Cline

Wonderful kitchen, plenty of dishes, pots and pans. Lots of extras here - chairs for the beach, nice beach charm and pretty new beach towels. Deep sea fishing with Reef tours was a blast! Has our own Mahi-Mahi cooked at the La Med-Mediteranean for $10 each including vegetables. Rented a scooter and drove to Paradise Cove - how beautiful! Lots and lots of fun here at Coral Beach. I would recomend to everyone. So glad we found this place. I like it much better than the Sheraton. Can't wait to come back! Stuart and Kathy Williamsburg, VA.

Otherwise, again we had a great month staying here. I never get tied of walking the beach at sun-up. Ruby Swiss restaurant was a nice place to eat - we had never tried it before.

Hi - this was the prettiest beach. I've seen Jamaica, Mexico, etc. The walk from here to "Billie Joes" is short and easy. He also has wonderful cracked conch for $11.00 served with fries. If your prefer, ask for fried onions. The pub has a wide variety of foods and the best lobster for $28.00. Everyone is friendly and greet you. Charmaine and Sonya at the pool bar were great and the conch fritters too! The bus for $1 a block away was very easy. Had an awesome time and the accomodations have all you need!!

So far we are having an excellent holiday. We went snorkling at Paradise Cove. The staff were super friendly and the fish were fantastic! The numner is 349-2677. We also purchased crafts at the International Bazaar. The beaches here are beautiful. You can get around by taxi or by bus - we prefer by bus. They will usually take you everywhere you wish to go for merely $1 per person. Also for fellow Canadians, there is a Scotia Bank and a Royal Bank downtown. Also you can have family call you for about half the price of the Batelco phone cards. We rented a car for a few days and drove to West End and the Lucayan National Park (a must see). Another place to visit are the grounds at the Westin Hotel, very nice. We may stay one night. We had a wonderful meal at the China Beach restaurant and shopped around Port Lucaya. We also met many fellow Quebecers. Try Lucianos, it was very good food - we had a great time here in the Bahamas - Tom, Martine & Victoria
