On September 19, 2024. Air Seychelles cancelled/changed our flight from Mauritius to Seychelles due to depart on September 23, 2024, to depart on September 25,2024. As a result, we were unable to travel to Seychelles and immediately contacted Expedia to cancel our paid resonations with Coral Strand for September 23-25, 2024, advising of the situation with Air Seychelles however, Coral Strand refuse to refund our payment stating that the reservations should have been cancelled by September 18,2024.I strongly suggest not to pay in advance if you are attempting to use this hotel that management cannot use their discretion when their domestic/ local Airline cancel flights for days when the guest is no longer able to visit the island at no fault of theirs. So DISSAPOINTED. .

The property is lovely. However at check in the hotel thought we had reserved 2 rooms, not 1. They were not happy to have kept a room empty which we did not need. I do not know whether the error was by Expedia or the hotel.

Not a good experience
The hotel either had a system issue or canceled our paid booking accidentally. As a result we were waiting the entire afternoon in the lobby being told repeatedly “sorry we are having no room.” There seemed to be a hope but then again “sorry we have no room.” Extremely suffering. Finally they got us a room newly renovated with bathroom leaking.

Lovely location, easy walk along the beach and to local restaurants. Staff were very helpful and friendly, allowed us to access to business lounge when we arrived early and allowed late checkout and use of facilities while we waited for our departing flight. Breakfast buffet had a large variety of great food. Overall the perfect end to our Seychelles holiday.

Fantastic location
The hotel is in a perfect location right on the beach and just a few minutes walk from supermarkets and restaurants. The hotel has great facilities but is looking a little tired hence the refurbishment of one section of the hotel. There are building works going on 7 days per week but they operate after 9am and finish about 5pm. This didnt impact our stay as we were out during these times. The staff are amazing so helpful and friendly especially Kylie and 2 gentleman in Housekeeping. Really had a lovely time and would definitely return to this hotel

Things you should know from Hotels.com
Three things put the dampers on this hotel. Firstly, it would have been nice to know with the present conflicts that the hotel is Russian owned. There are all nationalities on holiday here and it didn't cause any conflict but it would have be good to have been given the knowledge prior to booking. Secondly, it would have been good to know that part of the hotel was being extensively refurbished creating noise throughout the day. This wasn't noticeable by the pool etc but could be heard in your room during the day, which isn't ideal if you like to retire from the midday sun. Not my idea of paradise. Thirdly, the hotel is very dated. It may have been a 3 start plus 15-20 years ago but the place is very dated, particularly the bedrooms. On the plus side the staff are excellent. I was traveling solo and it's really great when they take the time to say hello and ask how you are etc. They are a credit to the hotel and island. The rooms and hotel are cleaned regularly to a good standard. Breakfast is a bit random self service where every nationality is being attempted to cater for but not quite achieving it. I heard from guests on half board basis that the evening meals were a lot better standard. The restaurant is a great location onto the front so you can see and hear the waves as they lap up less than 3 meters away. Why spoil that in a morning by playing recorded piano music i don't know. For me, it doesn't make the hotel restaurant sophisticated but like an elevator to escape
