I don't know much about the Coral Beach Club - apart from it's location.
It is on the Dutch side of the island - just - not far from the very ugly Westin. Dawn Beach is nice, but can be very windy.
It is by no means conveniently located for the major areas of activity, nor are there many good eating options in the area. You would definitely need a rental car as, to get to anywhere of real interest, will be least a 10 to 15 minute drive.
It appears to have good reviews - but then you really never know whether they are writtn by inexperienced travellers to whom everything appears fantastic - because they ARE inexperienced !
I don't want to appear negative, as I have no personal experience of the resort, but if you would enjoy going out to eat great meals in Grand Case, or shopping, you would do better in a less remote location - though having said that, nothing is really 'remote' on an island of only 37 square miles !
Maybe some other Forum contributors could provide personal experiences.
