    We recently had the most magical evening at Coral Sea Resort, where we celebrated a surprise engagement over dinner—and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The setting was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views and a beautifully relaxed atmosphere that made the night feel so special. The highlight, though, was the incredible service. Our waiter, Alfredo, went above and beyond from start to finish. He was warm, attentive, and made sure every detail of the evening flowed seamlessly. His genuine care and enthusiasm added so much to the moment—we honestly couldn’t have asked for better. The food was delicious, the cocktails were amazing, and the whole experience left us smiling long after we left. Thank you to the team at Coral Sea Resort—and especially to Alfredo—for helping make our engagement so memorable. We’ll treasure it forever. 💍✨ Highly recommend this place for a romantic evening or special occasion

    We visited this place for the breathtaking sunset harbor views, and it lived up to our expectations. The appetizers were delightful, especially the Lamb Skewer, Scallop Ceviche, and Calamari. Each appetizer was accompanied by a refreshing side salad.

    Service was great. Very quick and friendly and attentive. Sitting outside on their new very nice front tables for 2 was very nice. The food was very good. The gnocchi was very lovely but a little to small at $36 and was still hungry.
