Pool

Arrived here Thursday, 17th August 2023, and was unsure before arriving after reading lots of the reviews on here, as we are celebrating my girlfriends 50th birthday....

Well. What can I say!! This hotel is perfect in every way possible. Reception was manned on arrival (it always is), very clean, posh, and new who we were as we walked through the door. Less than 5 mins to do the paperwork and in the lift to our room. 

Our room is on the 10th floor (1003) and was spotlessly clean, very spacious, and very modern. The bathroom looked like it had been refitted that day or just one hell of a good cleaner. Everything about this hotel is modern and fresh. 

We are bed and breakfast only, and what a breakfast!! All the cooked food you would expect in a full English. Loads of fresh fruit and pastries, portage, cerals, and all the continental meats, cheese, and salads. There is a fresh coffee machine as well as all the fruit juice you'd expect. 

The hotel has an average sized pool with lots of sunbed, chairs, sofas, and modern style chairs. The bar has an amazing selection of drinks and is very cheap. We haven't struggled to get a sunbed.

The location of this hotel is 5 minutes walk from Pavanova beach and all the posh bars, and 1 minuted from shops , bars and restaurants.

The aircon could be slightly cooler in the rooms but not unbearable by any means. We will certainly be coming back. Well done to all the staff here for making the start of our stage a pleasure. 

EXCELLENT HOTEL and very modern. 

The food and view was nice. Other than that, it’s one of the worst stays with poor service. The guy at the reception was very rude and inconsiderate among other things( such as poor wifi, extra charge for safety box, shower trouble, etc.,) Will not be coming back!

Terrible

We spent four nights at Bahia Principe Sunlight Coral Playa as a couple, and unfortunately, our expectations were far from met despite the 4-star rating.

**Building Condition and Check-in:**  
The first impression of the building was absolutely disastrous. From the outside, the hotel looks in dire need of renovation. The check-in process was very unfriendly, and we received no information about our stay, which made the start of our holiday quite unpleasant.

**Dining:**  
We booked half-board, but the food was a complete disappointment. Although the breakfast was varied, the quality was very poor. The cold cuts section was particularly unappetizing, and it was disturbing to see ants everywhere.  
We made the mistake of ordering lunch at the pool restaurant. The pasta carbonara was extremely unappetizing, not only was it a ready-made meal, but it was also inedible and caused severe bloating, just like every dinner there.

The dinner buffet was simply inedible. The meat was cold, there were only bland boiled vegetables, and the salad bar consisted of low-quality products. Only the pre-made desserts and the fruit were somewhat acceptable, but overall, the food was very unhealthy.

**Location and Guest Demographic:**  
The location in Magaluf attracts a typical guest demographic that doesn't have high demands. However, this is no justification for the hotel to be solely profit-oriented and not provide services commensurate with the money spent.

**Value for Money:**  
It is outrageous to charge €20 per day for parking. This further contributes to the impression that the hotel is cutting costs everywhere to maximize profit without offering guests corresponding value.

**Conclusion:**  
Our stay at Bahia Principe Sunlight Coral Playa was a major disappointment. The condition of the building, the unfriendly check-in service, the poor-quality food, and the excessive additional costs made it impossible for us to enjoy our holiday. We cannot recommend this hotel and hope to see fundamental improvements in the future.

**Misleading impression online on the website, not recommended. Service and food were outrageous.**

The hotel is quite ok. It's clean. The breakfast is ok, even if it corresponds more to the standard of a good 3* hotel and not to that of a 4* hotel. There are no a la carte dishes or anything like that. You cannot order an individual omelet. The pool bar is great. The food there is significantly better than breakfast. There wasn't a dish that I couldn't recommend. The prices are completely okay. The drinks, especially the cocktails, are absolutely ok. 
The rooms are clean but a bit dark and dated. There are far too few sockets in the rooms. There was a socket by the bed and one in the bathroom. There was also a USB-A socket on the bed. Far too little for 2 people. You cannot charge both smartphones and watches at the same time. Not to mention other devices. The shower is designed somewhat interestingly. The water is not held back by the shower wall and flows into the entire bathroom. The rooms are very noisy. You can follow exactly what the neighbors are doing. 
The location of the hotel is ok. It's at the end of the beach with a direct elevator down to the beach. This makes it possible to avoid the party area. This is right around the corner from the hotel and not for everyone. What goes on there is sometimes just horrible and embarrassing. You should be aware that Magaluf is not a place for a nice holiday and has nothing to do with the beauty of Mallorca. Hotel buildings are lined up next to strip clubs and low-quality pubs. Luckily you don't notice that much in the hotel. If you stick to the direct beach promenade, you can avoid the whole thing.

The Hotel is fine if you ignore the area around the hotel with its strip clubs and low-quality pubs

The hotel was nice with a small pool and a snack bar where you could  buy drinks and food. Unfortunaly they close at 23.30 so you couldnt enjoy a drink by the pool at night.  The hotel is near the the beach with a beautiful view. Nice breakfast everyday and nice staff.

The only negative with the hotel is the room we got. It was trash and broken glasses outside. No nice view from the room.

Nice
