User reviews

"The place is absolutely stunning. I can't wait for my next visit. I highly recommend staying at the Coral Hotel and enjoying Zen beach. The staff there were incredibly friendly and helpful. The beds closest to the water are a great deal, and the food is both affordable and delicious."

Mara McAllister

"The beach is a fantastic little spot. The service is very efficient, and with around 50 beds, it has a cozy and intimate atmosphere. The sea is stunningly warm, with water so clear you can see right through it. The food is absolutely delicious and made with fresh ingredients."
