Coral Mist & Blue Orchids Hotels

Barbados, Caribbean

Star rating

The hotel

This small resort is split into two hotels and occupies 300 ft of south coast beachfront. It doesn't matter which hotel you stay in, as you are free to use the facilities at both. This means you can enjoy two swimming pools, an oceanfront restaurant and, of course, a selection of complimentary non-motorised water sports along the lovely white sand beach. Coral Mist and Blue Orchids Hotels have the added advantage of being only a 5-minute drive from the shops, bars and restaurants of the lively St Lawrence Gap.

We stayed here for 2 nights at the start of our 2 week holiday in Barbados. We chose Coral Mist because of the location to some great beaches and restaurants. There's nothing to dislike about the hotel - we couldn't fault it. It's quite dark decor wise and it's at the cheaper end of the hotel budget scale so you get exactly what you expect. The room was spacious and clean, had everything we needed for the two night stay and we had a great nights sleep both nights. The sea is literally 20 feet in front of the hotel so the views in the morning are spectacular. The weather was fairly breezy during our stay which lent favour to more dramatic waves, meaning we were lulled to sleep at night by the impressive sound of crashing waves - something I'd pay good money for in the UK. The room was furnished with a small kitchenette, all necessary utensils, coffee machine (ground coffee type), a fridge freezer, oven with electric ring hob, kettle and toaster. We only used the fridge and kettle so can't comment on the other appliances. I used the pool which was small but enough to get wet and cool off in. Read less

We had a nice relaxing stay at Coral Mist Hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious with a balcony view looking over the sea.

We had a nice relaxing stay at Coral Mist Hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious with a balcony view looking over the sea. We thought the location was good for exploring the west side of Barbados up to Bridgetown and further afield. We made use of the kitchen facilities eating in occasionally to save money but also went to restaurants close by including Champers which was lovely. The hotel has it's own small beach area with sunbeds which we used throughout our stay. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend for those looking at a good location with your own kitchen facilities.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic, yes a little dated but has had a recent soft refurbishment. The rooms are very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Staff can’t do enough for you all so friendly and welcoming. No wonder so many people rebook every year. It’s in a great location for all you need. I can’t wait to go back next year. Definitely… Read more

We have just returned from our 5th visit to the Coral Mist hotel, and can recommend it unreservedly. If you are looking for a relaxed vibe, in a perfect setting, right on the beach, this is where you need to stay. The staff are ultra -friendly, and we feel at home from the minute we arrive. The apartments are well furnished, and have recently been refurbished. the kitchen allows one to prepare meals , whilst there is a small restaurant on site. Within walking distance are several first class restaurants, whilst the Worthing Food Court is less than 5 minutes away. The beach is literally outside the rooms, and there are 2 good sized pools in the pretty gardens. The hotel always feels quiet and peaceful, and it is easy to relax with a book or just enjoy the wonderful view. There is a bus stop 2 minutes away , with buses covering the whole island, although we decided to hire a car for a few days, which was not expensive compared to European prices. We always meet a range of other guests , mainly from the UK, Canada and the USA; the weekly managers cocktail party is a great way to meet new friends, many of whom are ‘returners’ , like us. We have met other guests who have been coming to this hotel more than 20 times, and we can see why; each time we book for the following year we extend our visit by a few more days. Come to the Coral Mist Hotel, you won’t regret it. Linda and David, England. Read less
