Coral Sea Water World Hotel. Reviews
Evaluation of hotel service is controversial. The hotel is rated 4 stars plus. Reviews in the virtual network before the change of ownership in 2012 are very restrained. Before the renovation, Coral Sea Water World 5("Soral Sea Water World", as it is also called in search engines) was mainly focused on the contingent of vacationers from English-speaking countries. Therefore, the staff only spoke English or Arabic.
In recent years, the level of service has increased significantly, although it is inferior to the service in the hotels of the resorts of the United Arab Emirates. Not all tourists are satisfied with the shallow coastal area of the sea, but for a family vacation this is the most suitable place. Tourists from Europe prefer to sunbathe on the territory of the hotel and swim in the pool. Russians tend to stay on the beach.
If you have at least basic knowledge of English, then you can count on excellent service. A small percentage of compatriots and tourists from neighboring countries are especially noted, which has a positive effect on the calm atmosphere of relaxation. Despite the proximity of the airport, the sound of aircraft is not audible. Customers respond positively to the homely atmosphere in the hotel, although there are isolated cases of discrimination against Russian speakers in favor of the British.
