We stayed seven nights at the Coral Sea Resort & and Casino while SCUBA diving various WWII wrecks off the Guadalcanal Coastline and taking in some of the island’s WWII sites. Our accommodation was on the center level of the three level building, providing a nice view of the gardens and landscaped lawns below and a very partial ocean view. The room was a Garden View Suite, as opposed to a Resort View Room and an Ocean View Room, all of which are in the same building. Our room was a nice size, clean, and very comfortable. The front desk and housekeeping staff could not have been any better. I want to specifically recognize Mr. Kailash Chandra‘s housekeeping team of Freda, Mavis, Jinel, Joan and Merriam. Upon arrival at our room, the team had nicely decorated the room for our wedding anniversary and also my birthday. The resort provided very nice bicycles to allow us to explore Central Honiara on our own. Haydn‘s restaurant offered a refreshing daily happy hour and the Boardwalk Bar & Restaurant served delicious dinners. Local, evening entertainment in the lobby was also enjoyable. One suggestion to the resort is to improve the view from the Boardwalk Restaurant. Landscaping in the empty vacant lot between the Restaurant and ocean front retaining wall would be a great addition.. Five ground- level villas are offered at the accommodation. My only caution with occupying those villas would be the view that you might have as two of them looked directly onto the outdoor kitchen area of the boardwalk restaurant. Overall, a five-star review from us for this accommodation..

As coisas nesse hotel não começaram muito bem, porque quando eu cheguei foi uma confusão. Um tempo enorme fazendo checkin e, pra minha infeliz surpresa, eu descobri que eles não haviam reservado o passeio turístico que eu havia pedido com dois meses de antecedência. O passeio deveria acontecer no dia seguinte, e eu fiquei tão chateado com isso que pedi pra conversar com o gerente. Pensei, inclusive, que esse fosse o início de uma péssima estrada no hotel. O gerente, no entanto, foi bastante solícito, me ouviu, me acalmou confirmou o tour (algo que eles deveriam ter feito há dois meses atrás quando eu originalmente enviei o pedido) e inclusive me deixou fazer late check-out gratuitamente no meu último dia (é claro que não é sobre o dinheiro, mas sim sobre o gesto e a tentativa de reparação). Tirando essa parte, minha estada foi muito boa. Se não fosse o erro do primeiro dia essa avaliação seria de cinco estrelas. Levando em conta o erro - que considero grave - daria uma ou três estrelas, mas, ao mesmo tempo, levando em consideração que eles tomaram atitudes efetivas para resolver o problema e pra me deixar mais confortável quatro estrelas é o resultado final. No mais, os quartos são confortáveis, embora um pouco quentes (você precisa ligar o ventilador de teto para ficar mais fresco e o ventilador faz muito barulho), a internet é rápida e a comida do restaurante é gostosa a um preço justo. Tendo em vista o panorama geral de Honiara, provavelmente essa é uma das melhores (se não for a melhor opção) de hotel na cidade, apesar dos problemas que indiquei acima.

“Given the options not a bad choice for Honiara”

This resort has quite a utilitarian feel but is completely functional. The rooms are good, with a serviced apartment feel. Food was not great but not terrible. The piña colada I had was awful.

This resort has quite a utilitarian feel but is completely functional. The rooms are good, with a serviced apartment feel. Food was not great but not terrible. The piña colada I had was awful. Costs for drinks and food were extortionist but that’s the Solomon Islands in general. I didn’t like the hotel layout with the pool area right next to an open lobby area by reception and the entrance to the casino. This area is full of men all day and I didn’t particularly like the vibe. On Friday and Saturday nights there is entertainment so quite loud music but it was under control. Previsit communications were okay.
