Hi
I have booked to stay at the Corallia in September in a studio apartment - I wondered if anyone has stayed there recently who could let me know if the twin beds advertised, are attached to the wall or if they can be pushed together? I requested a double but it does not seem to be an option with the studio rooms. Any info on the hotel would be gratefully received
Thanks

hi we are staying at the corallia in august never stayed there before but drove up last year to have a look around.it was around 10am,the hotel is in an exellent posistion right on the beach just a little way out of the coral bay village but could walk up to the village if you have taken plenty of salt tabs and water in the 90 + degrees of heat lol not to worry the public service buses stop at the hotel and run through coral bay down into paphos harbour and out to the waterpark and back again every 15 minutes.so if you do not want to walk or get a cab if you know what paphos cab are like 5 pound plus min no meters on lol it easy to get to all destinations for just 80 cents pound english.we had a quick peek in the rooms whilst the maids were cleaning they look nice large and roomy didnt notice the bed situation has we were looking from the doorway.The pool area is large and had plenty of free sunbeds left at ten in the morning in in the middle of august its got to be a first lol,grassed lawn areas around the pools which overlook the sea,there is a slope down to the beach.the beach has also sunbeds on it which i believe you are charged for per day by a little old man that comes round .there is a large poolside bar serving snacks the restaurant is large and airy and is very nice.just a little concern we noticed is the hotel is on 2 levels reception level down to pool area and beach but there are two lifts you can use if you dont like stairs all in all we cant wait for august to come and are really looking forward to staying at the corallia

Hi
We%26#39;ve just come back from a week%26#39;s stay at this hotel and had a fab time. The beds can be moved - not bolted to the walls, although I say this from our experience as we had an appartment not a studio, but I shouldn%26#39;t think it%26#39;d be any different.
The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, so if you%26#39;re really concerned about the beds, ring the hotel and ask.
The place is very clean. The first time our room was cleaned, the supervisor came round and asked if everything was OK with the cleaning, was there anything else we%26#39;d like done and was the standard OK!!
The pool is clean, and very warm as is the sea. There%26#39;s plenty of sun beds either round the pool in the garden or over looking the beach. Access to the beach is very easy - through the garden down some steps and you%26#39;re there. Once on the beach you can walk all along the front.
They offer a buffet breakfast which is good value for money. There%26#39;s also snack food available in the afternoons from the bar and buffet evening meals too. We had breakfasts but didn%26#39;t eat there at other times. People we met said that is was nothing special, just OK. Around the pool during the day there%26#39;s waiter service.
There%26#39;s a supermarket - well shop- on site which is very limited and rather expensive. But 5mins down the road is a good sized supermarket with everything you%26#39;d want. Next to this is an Irish pub, Italian, Chinese and and Idian - oh dear! - we didn%26#39;t go to these - we were in Cyprus, we wanted Cypriot food!!
The hotel next door - the Coral Beach Hotel - has a fantastic fish restaurant, well worth visting. Just walk along the beach to get to it.
Coral Bay resort is 20mins walk or a 5 mins bus ride. Paphos is 30 mins ride. The buses stop right outside the hotel every 15 mins and it%26#39;s £1 for however long your journey.
In Coral Bay AVOID the Hippopotamus and the Sienia restaurants, but DO eat at the Corallo - up the top of the street on the left.
Other good places: Pankatas - between Coral Bay and Paphos - bustop out side, and in Paphos the Seagull - just the other side of the harbour on your right, and the Rendezvous, stay on the bus passed the harbour and you%26#39;ll eventually see it on your right on a corner- green and white sign. If you tell the driver you want to go there he%26#39;ll stop for you. This and Corallo were our best meals, really fresh food. On Tuesdays there%26#39;s live music and dancing at Rendezvous. It%26#39;s a good laugh in a relaxed way not contrived or pushy at all.
If you haven%26#39;t been to Cypus before - like us - I%26#39;m sure you%26#39;ll love it and the hotel is somewhere we%26#39;d recommend to anyone. If you%26#39;re back visiting again - you lucky people. In either case, have a great time.

Hi,also just back from the Corallia and can confirm that the beds in the studio we were in were not fixed to the wall.
Would also agree with the majority of what joscats said but would disagree strongly about one of the restaurants mentioned.I assume it was Serianni that you meant,if it was then we had one of our best meals here and very reasonably priced for what we had,just my opinion though.Can also recommend the Coral King restaurant,ate several times there as the food and service was excellent with very friendly staff.Coralla was good as was El Faro.They do a greek night in El faro (can%26#39;t remember what night) but it is very busy then and the meals can be slow but worth the wait.
Found the bars,particularly Blazing Saddles, overpriced for what you got.Irish Bar was ok for a quick drink on the way back but did do good snacks at lunchtime.
Again the food at the hotel was ok(nice omelette) and staff friendly.Best thing about the hotel was being able to lie in and still get a bed anytime of the day,not that I do lie in but you can relax knowing you don%26#39;t have to get up at the crack of dawn armed with your towels.

Meant to say,do not exchange your money at the hotel due to the lousy rate and commission they charge.I used the supermarket on the main road in Coral Bay(Angelena%26#39;s I think).No passport needed and 0.83 for T/C%26#39;s.
