I love the property. It was clean and cozy for a family outing. Place is not too big but it's a nice place if you're just looking for a small relaxing time with your family. I don't like the beach, the Cabanas by the ocean ruined the whole scenery. You can't even swim infront of the resort because of those Nipa Huts there. They should leave that area open for Coral Beach customers. We stayed on the 2nd floor Superior Room, it was too noisy outside, 3:00am I could here drunk people singing and too loud by the front of the beach. There should be a curfew for the neighbors that are beside Coral Beach. That's my main issue, the loud noise at night from the people at the beach.

We always book this property every time we’re in the Philippines, but this time it was horrible. The rooms assigned to us was terrible. Noisy, toilet does not flush. Clogged sink. Pounding footsteps from above. I really wanted a refund on at least one room.

Overprize Stay
The venue in person is just ok compared to the pictures so I can say that it's somehow overprized. The floating mini houses were all at the beach front so you can't really swim plus there's a lot of stones so it's really challenging. Better to bring aqua shoes.

Well maintained for a small private resort
Small pool but come with a nice hot Jacuzzi tub, clean room but uncomfortable old pillow; lack of choice food, but friendly satff and cozy environment balance it out. Would be my pocket list if even visit the beach there next time.

Good service good getaway for a night...
The Coral Beach Club is a nice place with great service. A decent 3 star local resort. Lian Beach itself is not the greatest beach in the Philippines but it served the purpose of just getting out of the city for one night. There are your usual tour guides hustling to get you to join their tours, the water is clear, the beach is respectable but some garbage lying around. The locals clean the beach in the mornings...its more of a local beach than a tourist beach.

Relaxing stay
The staff are great. It’s right on the beach so you can swim in the ocean or pool. The food is plentiful, great selection and so reasonably priced. It’s a basic style place. Nothing fancy but it’s great to relax and do not a lot of anything.

Nice beach resort
Place was quiet. Rooms were clean and were maintained daily. Shower had hot/cold water. Room had weak wi-fi connection. Pool was 4.8 feet deep. With jacuzzi. Outside food not allowed. Restaurant had good food albeit pricey. Beach had nice fine sand, but the beach was not very clean. However, experience was fun. Staff was very accommodating.

We had a great time at Coral Beach Club. We stayed in a room that the balcony overlooked the beach, was great in mornings seeing the sun rise with a coffee. The staff were excellent and food very good. I appreciated the men who swept and tidied our beach/sand area every morning. Everything about the Resort was good in my opinion. The only problems was the resorts next door. The Karaoke was loud (and singing sometimes awful) and their beach was overcrowded with people and rafts. This is a real shame and I understand Coral Beach Club has tried to address this. The beach was shallow and had weeds in it, but you could get a boat to take you to other spots. Still I would go back. Thanks to the staff of Coral Beach Club for a great time.

The resort was well cared for and kept clean and neat. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The beach was not the greatest the water was clear and nice but it was a bit off from what I am used to in other beach resorts. Overall I would stay there again though as I am not a big swimmer and I enjoyed the good food and the resort was pleasant and realatively quiet.

Its too far ffom the beach.
I am disappointed that there isn't a beach right the property. We either hire a Balsa if we like to swim in the beach. Food are way too expensive. Bed is too hard also I accidentally burned my right arm on light shade attach on the corner of the head board. For the prices of the accomodation doesn't meet the standard of the price.

The place is perfect for staycation. It has a quiet and relaxing feel which is perfect if you want to get a with the busy life of the metro. We went there ng mga early part of December and according to the locals, hindi nila peak season yun so the beach is not crowded. Good food (mas mahal than the usual though). Overall, ⭐⭐⭐⭐
