We have been staying at the Coral Reef Beach Resort for over the past decade. We recently finished a 6 week stay and would like to comment from an interval (time-share) owner`s perspective. The Bad The Coral Reef is not an exclusive time-share complex and rents rooms as a hotel. During our stay, on three separate evenings our family were... More

Great location. Condos are a bit out dated and small, but we rented through Redweek.com so we were able to get the condo for 750.00 for a week. It was clean and the location can't be better. We were on the sixth floor with a GREAT view. The only downfall is the elevators are super slow and small. Pool area... More

We stayed at Coral Reef for a week during the first week of April 2013. It was very spacious and clean. Staff were very accommodating. Only complaint is the lack of privacy since the balconies are also the hallways. Lots of activity and lots of children/families. If you don't want kids...don't go there! Cold pool was a great escape since... More

Don't let the abandoned pink building in front scare you away. It looks pretty rough from the street, but this is a really nice place. I'm glad we had that warning, as we arrived at 1:00 in the morning, and it was a little creepy until we drove around back. In the daytime, it's not all that bad. The management... More

The condo we had was very clean and spacious. We had a two bedroom with two baths. Views of the ocean from shared walkway-balcony, but we did not feel like opening the slider to share our lives with the other guests (spring break partners and smokers. The kitchen had the basics, but not really sufficient for good cooking. It was... More

This is a nice place and priced well for what you get but they need to be a little better managed. The rooms are large and updated with granite counters, tile floors, new living room furniture. The 2 bedroom model has 2 full baths and large kitchen and living room and they are great, with great views. No food on... More

My husband and I stayed in a 6th floor one bedroom unit in early January 2013 and had a comfortable stay with great view of a gorgeous beach. The heated smaller pool was great as was the hot tub. The property was probably only about 30% occupied, so parking was easy and only a handful of people in the pool.... More

We had a great time at this resort. We had a 2 bedroom on the main floor, near the heated pool. The condos are very spacious, and have updated kitchens with everything you need to make meals. The beach has some super soft sand, some small shells to find, and goes right up to the resort sidewalk. The free form... More

I had to find a hotel that could fit 6 people during my husbands conference in st Pete's. after reading reviews I thought this might work. I was very disappointed with the whole experience. We paid 253 a night and for that we got a run down, smelly, dirty experience. The front looks abandoned and nasty. The elevators are small... More
