coral view resort hotel location picture

Coral View Resort is one of the orginal backpacker resorts in the Yasawa Islands and has evolved to become one of the more popular choices for watersport. However, what was once a lively backpacker with air-conditioned dorms has now declined. The beach has sufffered from eroding although a seawall has been built to create a small beach for sunbathing.
