  Very clean resort with friendly staff

  We enjoyed our time at Ocean Coral and Turquesa. The resort was very clean and the staff friendly. Elizabeth, who ran most of the activities at the Beso pool, was energetic, knowledgeable and super accommodating. We took Spanish lessons, water aerobics and a margarita making course with her. Getting a pool or ocean chair is a bit of a hassle as people put towels down and then left (sometimes for hours). The other issue was the difficulty we had getting reservations at the speciality restaurants. Food at the buffet was good but some of the speciality restaurants left us disappointed. The food and service at the Blue Moon was very good.

  Ocean Coral and Turquesa El Beso

  Just got back from 10 days at Ocean Coral & Turquesa El Beso. Girls trip for 2 and we had a great time. El Beso Bistro amazing breakfast and lunches. Freddy, Jasson, Ever Ivan, and Wilberth were amazing and always ready with a smile and greeting!. Mayra the hostess was always keeping everything organized. Elizabeth (trainee) the activity director was always there with a hug and smile and kept everyone busy. We went to the Italian 4 times it always seemed to be available on the app, good food, Blue Moon excellent and Sensai ok. Reservation system is not good. We booked 9pm for Blue Moon, went at 6pm and got in as there were only 2 of us. Had lunch twice at Villa Marina was good, Route 66 one nite. Buffet for dinner 2 nites, nothing to brag about. We did the Mayan lunch and dinner show on the Wednesday for 29 US dollars was a great time! Rooms were huge and clean and beds comfortable. No issues with hot water or anything. We did set our alarm for 530am to get chairs, crazy and a lot were already taken. We went back to bed, but we stayed in our chairs for the day. More chairs could be put out at the El Beso pool to accomodate more people. Pools were great, a little chilly but the way we like it when we are hot. Sat at the activity pool one day, had a lot of fun and enjoyed the foam party. Lobby entertainment was nothing, there is a piano but always covered, needed to have something nightly. Watched a bit of the fire show and Michael Jackson, same shows it seems everywhere. Beach is eroding big time and lots of sargassum, we walked it once, nice there was a stone path we could walk daily. We met a lot of nice people and staff was friendly and hard working. Would we return probably not as there are a lot of other resorts to explore. Definitely the chair loungers and restaurant booking need improvement. Overall a great holiday and away from the cold and snow!

  Great Experience

  Another great visit to OCT. the staff is friendly and accommodating. The food manager Arturo took great care of us. The El Baso pool is our favorite place where Ricardo and Jose take the best care of us all day long. Looking forward to coming back in 2026!

  A Great Two weeks.

  My wife and I joined friends for a two week stay starting January 12th. We have been to a number of resorts so we are quite picky. Lots of really good things to say about the resort. The food overall was very good. The supper buffet was just okay. The room was very clean and had lots of space for your clothes. the resort was not too large so you could easily walk to all the restaurants. Common entertainment nights but were fun to watch. Super big PROS - The staff was excellent. They were genuinely friendly, hard working and did their best to make our stay wonderful. Samuel at Guest Services did an outstanding job solving any challenges we had and constantly checked in on us to see if we needed anything. Well done. Wilberth (at the El Beso bar) and Reynoldo (Lobby bar) were always friendly and cheerful. Their hard work made a difference in our holiday. Enrique and Jose (El Beso pool and bed area) were just super. When my wife fell on a boat trip and hurt her back, they went out of their way to make sure she was comfortable helped with ice and towels. They made a big difference. Challenges - getting chairs and only able to book one night at a time for dinner reservations. thanks Ocean Coral and your staff for a great trip.

  We had a good time here, but there are other AI resorts we like better. We most likely will not be back.

  The food - Very good in the buffet and the two reservation restaurants we were able to book. The reservation system at this hotel stinks so we were not able to book the three other restaurants. The room - Excellent. Clean and refreshed every day. Cudos to the housekeeping staff. Upgrades - We were Expedia VIP access platinum. When we requested the resort upgraded us to ElBeso at no charge. We were able to use the ElBeso Bistro restaurant which was very nice. We could also use the ElBeso pool, however you needed to reserve a lounger by 5 am to get a spot so we passed on the pool. The bars - All were excellent, especially the lobby bar. Entertainment- The Fire Show was great. The rest were just ok. Only 1 night was there any entertainment in the lobby. We think there should be more like games or playing guitar. The Staff - Very friendly and helpful. The Pools - We hung out at the chill pool because we don’t like loud music. Only issue is you had to put towels down on sun loungers before 7 am or you would not get a spot for the day. The Beach - Too much seaweed piled up for our taste and the resort did a poor job of removing it. We stayed at the pool instead. Conclusion: We enjoyed our 7 day stay here, but there are other AI resorts we like better. We most likely will not return to this resort.
