First I have to say that U Coral Beach is NOT the typical type of hotel I usually like to stay at. But, DH had found an excellent deal and so I agreed to try it out. I usually prefer luxury hotels, and those that are in the center of the city of Eilat, not all the way out in the boonies. So first the good stuff: The place is sparkling clean - everywhere - lobby, DR, pool, outdoor spaces, the rooms, etc. The food was incredible - fresh, tasty, plentiful, interesting, and varied. The swimming pool is huge, clean, sparkling, fresh and a real pleasure to swim in. It was a time of year that was not peak, so it was not crowded, and I was able to swim laps uninterrupted. The rooms - our room was okay, a little on the small side. The bed was comfortable, but the placement of the AC vent blows the cold air DIRECTLY on the bed, which forced us to sleep totally covered to prevent waking with a stiff neck or arm. There is no balcony. The bathroom was nice, well appointed, and the shower was a walk-in shower, which we love. Back to the AC - it was weird in how it worked. It either blew super cold air or not at all. Access to our room was not ideal - we were on the 2nd floor and it is the ONLY floor which is not accessed via an elevator - meaning we had to shlep our luggage up or down the stair. To be fair, though, if we request assistance with that, they come pretty quickly and carry EVERYTHING. The pool and private beach closing hours left something to be desired - closing at 5 pm, just when the temperature is at it nadir!! The hotel is one which offers "activities" and this includes "aqua-cise" - to the beat of HORRIBLE, EAR-SHATTERINGLY LOUD "music". We were sitting on the terrace during this, playing cards and the music was so bad, I could not even THINK! The private beach is not well maintained, it was desolate, no shade provided, barely any chairs. It could be like that during the off-season, though. One last negative note: on our last day, at breakfast, there was NO BUTTER! Zip, zilch, kloom, nada. Incredible....
