The free breakfast menu selection was varied, fresh and filling. The pool and hot tub were both at good temperatures and all the staff were very friendly and obliging.

An outstanding little guest house with the owners being the most helpful, friendly and best hosts ever. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and their continental breakfast hit the spot! We found a little piece of paradise and will definitely return!!
This is a hidden gem. We discovered it a number of years ago and have stayed there every time we visit Fort Lauderdale now.
The owners/hosts are delightful and it is like a little private oasis.

Great hosts , charming place ,very accommodating to any requests .
Such a nice place to spend a few days! The owners are wonderful and we fell in love with their dog, Nina, the cutest French bouledogue we’ve ever seen. Plus, it is a quiet place, not too far from the beach. Just perfect.
Lovely and simple accommodation in a perfect location—easy access to restaurants and local events made everything convenient. The gardens and pool area were beautifully maintained and created a welcoming atmosphere, with guests enjoying continental breakfast together in the mornings and relaxed conversations in the evenings. The room had all the essentials—clean, cool, and exactly as described. Communication from the owners was excellent, and the staff was consistently friendly and accommodating.
We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

Great setting. Nice pool. Fantastic location. Excellent staff!
We love the Coral Reef Guest House. This has become our favorite hotel on the Atlantic. Wayne and Jerome, owner and manager, are more than accommodating. Excellent customer service and an actual feeling of family instead of the cold box hotels. Thanks to Jerome, the rooms are spotlessly cleans, the beds are comfortable and the linens are always snow white. As I often say, Corral Reef may not be the Ritz, but it's better than the Ritz.

Wonderful stay. Owner and staff very friendly. We liked that there are only six rooms, all around the pool. Very quiet and adults only. Pool is heated and the pool and hot tub are very clean. Parking free and right outside the property. Rooms very clean with AC. Highly recommend! Enjoyed our stay. Walkable to beach area.
