Cocos Hotel

When we arrived for our honeymoon, we were excited! We had seen Coco’s Instagram and it blew us away! The reality came shortly after arrival. My husband had been in contact with them for several months leading up to our arrival. He wanted to make sure that everything was perfect! We opened the door to our cottage to find a couple of flowers strewn on the bed, but nothing that screamed welcome to your romantic honeymoon! Yes, the views were spectacular and sunsets each amazing. Unfortunately, that is all undermined by things like, no towels for the beach at 10am! Or no ice or water at the ice and water stations or no ice at the beach bar! Or watching birds eat sugar from the very sugar bowl your husband is putting his coffee! Or having the random cat jump up on your table while you’re eating! All of this is outdone by the overall unwelcoming feel that you receive from the staff. I can count on 1 hand the amount of staff who actually genuinely put forth effort to smile and be gracious. We have stayed in some of the world’s finest hotels and resorts and have never come across a staff with such low regard for their guests. That being said, we were grateful for George and Maria who tried their best to make our stay more enjoyable. Sadly, the Instagram photos of the food never really matched what we received. Overall, the beautiful place is overshadowed by lack of leadership, and just misses the mark each time. Good ideas with poor execution.

Gorgeous beaches, delicious food, great facilities. I really appreciated the smaller capacity of the resort because it meant many of the staff got to know us. It was maybe just a smidge too big for us to connect much with other guests or many staff besides the nighttime bartender and front desk manager. I do wish there were more hangout books other than the beaches or main lobby, but that's nitpicking. And as much as you see the warnings about the hills, heed them again. They are steep and pretty long, and in the heat, you'll really be feeling it by the time you make it back up to your rooms. Oh, and all the beaches are technically public, but there were only a few vendors that came by and they were generally respectful of our polite "no's."

This place is amazing! Came for my 10th anniversary and EVERYTHING was great! Quiet, peaceful, relaxing, FOOD, the spa, the service, clean beaches and water. God created Antigua with great care! You will love COCOS Hotel!

My husband and I booked with Coco's Hotel for our honeymoon. Our stay was a week long and was nothing short of amazing. Everything was perfect. Location - The hotel is about a 20 minute ride from the airport and we experienced minimum traffic. I loved that the resort had the option to book private transportation to and from the hotel for our stay. We were greeted by wonderful drivers who took time to share recommendations and history on Antigua. Aside from the airport, the resort is a bit remote, so when traveling offsite you do need to book a taxi. The hotel staff was so helpful with booking transportation for us throughout our trip as we set out to explore the island. Rooms - Our room was great! I enjoyed that there were no tv's in the room and I especially enjoyed the outdoor shower. We had the sunset view room and the view was absolutely stunning. The staff ensured our room stayed stocked with drinks and came by daily for housekeeping. Anything we needed, we could call the front desk and we were taken care of. We even had an incident where we locked ourselves out of the safe and the team was able to promptly help us out. Atmosphere - The entire resort was stunning. You have access to two separate beaches and because the resort is small, you get to see quite a few guests regularly. The entire grounds was kept tidy which was great because the resort is nestled into a mountain, so you should be prepared to walk inclines daily. One thing we did have to get used to, which is completely out of the resort's hands, were the tree frogs! They can be pretty loud at night, but by night 2 we were pretty much adjusted. Food & Drinks - Simply exquisite! Out of all the dishes we tasted, there were only two items that I didn't particularly care for but they weren't bad, just not for me. Overall, the food was amazing and I'm still thinking about it! Typically resort food can be hit or miss, especially for an all inclusive. However, at Coco's the menus were carefully crafted. I appreciated that there was a different dinner menu each day and there were daily specials available for breakfast and lunch. I also loved the fact that while they had a full bar and could make just about anything, there were daily drink specials. The chefs and bartenders truly provided an Antiguan delicacy experience like no other. Everything was so fresh and truly made with love! Staff - The staff 100% made this trip for us. Everyone we encountered was so welcoming and warm. They ensured we were taken care of from start to finish. Any questions we had, they answered with a smile. They gave us the best recommendations for enjoying the beautiful island of Antigua. I simply cannot say thank you enough to all of them. By the end of our trip we were hugging everyone! I know that there are so many more employees working behind the scenes or that we didn't get to interact with but a huge shout-out to Amayah, Lauryn, Maria, Kris, Mario, Waseba, Kerry, Kerry-Anne, Hazel, Stephen, George and everyone that is a part of the Coco's team! I sincerely cannot wait to return to Coco's because we had such an amazing honeymoon spending it with the wonderful staff and the beautiful island of Antigua. -Cierra & Aaron

My wife and I had an incredible time on our honeymoon at COCOS Antigua. It is a gorgeous resort - and if you are looking for a vacation where you can just relax and enjoy a peaceful stay with beautiful views, this is the place for you. We loved how simple and easy everything was - our room was well taken care of every day, and every meal that we had at the restaurant or beach grill was incredible. They change the dinner menu daily so there is always something new to try. We had a plunge pool room and it was a highlight of the stay. The views are breathtaking and the pool is perfect for two people to lounge in. There are two beaches to visit on either side of the resort, and there was never an issue getting a chair. The beach areas are also very serene and quiet, not a party atmosphere but perfectly relaxing with drinks available. The only issue we can recall is they would often run out of towels at the beach. You can book tours or excursions with the help of the front desk if you are looking to explore. Overall, we had an incredible, relaxing stay and would love to return one day.
