The
Coral Bay Beach Hotel and Resort (Coral Bay - Paphos) The Coral Beach Hotel and Resort is situated on a sandy beach of the Coral Bay in Paphos.
It has a majestic entrance with a circled driveway, richly decorated with colourful flowers and palm trees. As Kim and I arrived with our heavy suitcases, the doorman quickly rushed to our rescue and helped us into the air-conditioned entrance hall. We checked in and were taken directly to our room. It took a while to get there: the Coral Beach Hotel is huge… but it’s well worth the walk. Our room was decorated in cool shades of blue and yellow and a complimentary bottle of wine and basket of fruit awaited us. The French door in our room led directly to the outdoor pool – who could resist such an invitation? The pool is surrounded by welcoming sunbeds, palm trees and flowers. Perhaps the only tiny problem is that, after the hot day, the pool was fairly warm…but a solution was close at hand! As its name suggests, the Coral Beach Hotel is situated right on the beach: you need only walk a few metres before plunging into the sea. Yet another option is the indoor pool, situated in a peaceful wide room with a very relaxing atmosphere.
Or if you feel like Italian cuisine you can visit the Ristorante Romazzino. It offers a wide choice of traditional Italian food and the friendly staff make you feel at home. When we visited this restaurant we were presented with a complimentary glass of wine! The Calypso Restaurant has a very friendly atmosphere and offers a choice of different courses. If you like seafood you will love the Limani Fish Taverna. I found that the hotel actually gets the first choice of fresh fish from the local fishermen who fish only a few metres away from the hotel. How much fresher can you get? And last but not least there is the Coral Restaurant and Terrace which is a favourite with the guests for breakfast and snacks.
If you have very young children they can take advantage of the hotel kindergarten. Friendly and fully qualified staff will make sure your children will have lots of fun while you relax by the pool or enjoy a massage on the beach. The Coral Bay Beach Hotel offers a wide choice of beauty treatments, relaxing massages from head to toe, slimming programs, anti-aging programs, hairdressers and much more. Basically you will leave a completely different and far more relaxed person. Even businessmen will benefit - the Coral Bay Hotel proves that even a business trip can be relaxing!
The hotel is also very popular for weddings and will help you to organise the wedding of your dreams. To be honest we didn’t want to leave this paradise. In fact, I found later that a lot of hotel guests return every year. Who can blame them?

In
the evening we decided to try out the hotel restaurants. We were
spoilt for choice: the Coral Beach Hotel has 6 different restaurants
on offer. There is a French restaurant called La Rotisserie with
fine dining and a relaxed, sophisticated ambience. Or perhaps
the Armonia Restaurant, which offers a breathtaking view over
the Pleasure Harbour and the sea? This restaurant has been specially
designed to compliment the unique ambience of Coral Beach and
is a must visit if you do stay in the hotel. 
The
Coral Bay Hotel has countless activities. To name a few : you
can visit the safari in Peninsular, visit the botanical gardens,
play tennis, go scuba diving, horse riding, play golf, dance,
fish, sail, go bird watching, do some wine tasting. There is a
gym and sauna and much more. Family activities include the hotel
craft workshop, where you can paint on glass or do pottery, all
for the price of the materials that you use. 
Talking
of business men, the hotel has an entire wing dedicated to executives.
It has wireless internet and separate breakfast and coffee rooms.
Children under 13 are not allowed in this part of the hotel so
you can get on with your work or just enjoy the peace and quiet.
