Coral View Beach Resort

I have travelled to many countries and have stayed at all types of places, but have never been treated so poorly anywhere. My 8 family members and I stayed here for 3 nights -No tuk tuks available from the ferry station to the hotel, so we had to walk 2.2km in the pouring rain with our luggage. I had just spoken to the staff a few weeks prior to organize transportation, but there was no mention that the Tuk Tuks would be unavailable or limited due to it being the last day of a festival -Hotel restaurant was not available to us because of the 150 diving students. We got conflicting answers from 4 different staff about whether or not we could eat at the restaurant. Even outside of the students allotted mealtimes, we were turned away repeatedly. Other restaurants were far away from the hotel, and some were even low on food or closed because of the festival. We had 3 children, so not having access to the hotel food was distressing -There were clear animosities between staff members and poor communication. The front desk staff called one kitchen staff a “liar” (among other profanities) when we asked if we could eat at the restaurant. The kitchen lead stated that he told the owner not to rent out the other hotel rooms since he could not keep up with feeding the students -Our room reeked of mold/mildew, no one came to clean, tiles were missing from the bathroom floor, there was mold in our sink, there were safety pins and debris on the bathroom floor, walls were paper thin

This was the worst place I have ever stayed. To start, the hotel said they arranged a ride for our group to the hotel. The ride never showed up and we walked to the hotel from ferry in the rain. We could have dealt with that but when we got to the hotel there was a huge group of highschool students on a diving trip for 6 weeks with there clothes all over. We could have dealt with that but when we went into the restaurant to order food, the girl literally said no. The next morning we went to get the continental breakfast they said was provided and met a ton of resistance. When we asked for coffee they said it was all gone, while kids from the diving group would be handed whatever they wanted. When we talked to one member of the staff the would blame the other members of the staff telling us they were told not to allow us to order food. We spent our first day of the trip trying to find a way to feed our group. It was miserable. I would never recommend that place!!! I have never dealt with a staff so rude and would never go back!
