For my husband and I, the hotel and atmosphere at Coral Sands has never been nor will ever be the same since the King's sold it a few years back. They have done quite a bit to the property and we still think the grounds are beautiful. As a newcomer (with no memories of what it used to be like) I don't think you'll be disappointed at all however. Just being on Harbour Island in and of itself is worth it. Good luck. You'll have a fine time. Be sure to watch the sun rise on the Beach Bar deck and have Red, the bartender, make you one (or several) of his special cocktails.
