Hotel Corallo

I cannot rate this hotel highly enough. From the moment of arrival, the experience was fabulous! The young woman at reception was so professional and friendly and our room, facing the sea, with a wrap around balcony, was sensational. The decor is ultra modern and very chic, The rain shower in the bathroom was heaven on a stick! To lie in bed and see and hear the sound of the water added to the experience. The bed was super comfortable and the room was extremely spacious and spotlessly clean. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

On one level, we are quite familiar with Porto Maurizio, having made day trips there for some 35 years. The objective has always been one of our favorite restaurants, Lanterna Blu. But the restaurant is rarely open for lunch now and the Trenitalia schedule returning us to Alassio shuts down around 2130! A good excuse for an overnight stay. The Corallo turned out to be a peasant selection. It is an immaculate and somewhat modernized 3 star with some 4 star touches. Our room, 404, has wraparound balconies, both a large tub and a rainwater shower, a very large and comfortable bed and a big flat screen television. One English language station (BBC) is better than none. The all white decor is a bit bland for us. But the hotel's high ocean front perch is quiet and inspiring. Breakfast was quite good, and would have been even better if the tasty scrambled eggs and bacon weren't at room temperature, sitting in an untended closed tray at 9 AM. Fine coffee, pastries, juice and yogurt were a positive. The main elevator is rather small, but not a problem for a one night stay. he front desk personnel were helpful if a little detached. Of course, we were merely overnight guests. Porto Maurizio is a charming town, and this is a convenient and desirable address. There is a decent beach below and an in house restaurant that we only tried for breakfast.
