Coral Blue is a pretty nice hotel, average in my opinion, with some need to upgrade and improved maintenance. The room was clean and modern, AC and ceiling fan help at night. The food is average, but not bad. No other dining option from the daily buffet, unfortunately, and no restaurants nearby. Good selection of entrees, but not very imaginative, and pretty bland. Staff is awesome, very friendly and helpful, some speak a bit of English but all are eager to assist you and are patient if you can't quite make yourself understood. At Christmas this hotel is frequented mostly by Mexican families so it really felt like we were "in the thick of it". Very enjoyable. Great snorkeling on two private beaches, but watch for the tide and surge. Safe for kids near shore, excellent for confident swimmers a bit farther out. Bring lots of Pesos in smaller denominations as tips are not included. I had to go to town to find an ATM three times. Coral Blue is in the Huatulco National Park, and unless you have a car, you can't really get anywhere unless you call a taxi. They are cheap and quick though. On the property there is little else to do except lounging at the pool or beach, snorkeling and taking one of the three little kayaks for a spin around the bay. The home-made ping-pong table is okay if you are bored, and the pool table is challenging because it is lop-sided and broken in the middle. They have a spa but we did not try it.
