Cocos Hotel

As I write this review, I am sitting on my balcony at Cocos. The view is spectacular. It's true, this is not a hotel for everyone. If you have mobility issues, if you are looking for a party place, if you want a big fancy resort, don't come here. However, if you like rustic elegance, if you want quiet and relaxation, if you appreciate cottage life, by all means get on a plane and come on over. Yes it's small, yes the food choices are more limited, no there aren't many activities...that's the whole point of this place. I feel as if I'm hanging out at a friend's cottage. Every meal has had at least one fish, one meat and one veg choice. Every meal offers appetizers, soup, main course and desserts. A smaller kitchen and a smaller resort means dishes that are "home cooked" rather than big repetitive buffets of commercially over cooked, greasy foods. I've yet to be disappointed at Cocos. The staff is above average in my opinion. All have greeted us and treated us like friends or family. As hurricane Maria was looming, we had to be displaced for a few nights to safer ground. They worked tirelessly to organize and prepare and we came back to open arms and hugs. I have nothing but praise for them all. I would not hesitate to come back. I most likely will. The people of the Caribbean have had a particularly difficult hurricane season. Please help their economy and rebuilding by coming and spending your vacation dollars or euros. If you can, bring an extra suitcase of hurricane relief supplies. Many airlines are waving the extra bag fees for humanitarian donations, most consulate websites have lists of supplies needed and most hotels will take care of forwarding these to shelters. Happy travels.

We had another great stay at Cocos, warm welcome from the lovely staff! Sadly cut short by hurricane Irma, but the way it was handled was fantastic. We were kept well informed by the management - contingency plans were made well before Irma struck, so staff and guests were as safe as possible. It certainly wouldn't stop us from returning, such an idyllic setting! Thanks to all of you .......

Just returned from a 10 day trip to Antigua ( cut short by Hurricane Irma unfortunately) hasnt put us off returning, this resort is made by the people who work there it is very rustic and you wont be able to wear heels for your whole trip ( I managed wedges one night and had to take them off to return to room) but it is more than made up for by the hospitality and friendliness of the staff - hope that never changes. Food is excellent too and nothing is too much trouble for anybody.

Omg!!! The staff here were soooooo welcoming!! They make you feel so special as if your the only person there. My boyfriend & I enjoyed ourselves. The food was amazing. No buffet style but a prefixe menu with PLENTY of options. You can choose as much or as little as you would like. The only down part to the hotel is that if you don't like exercising you will then. Some of the cottages were way up on the top it's a continuos incline. My body got used to it after the first /second day lol! The room doesn't have a T.V, it's gives you that time to bond with your significant other which is a PLUS!! Amazing Views! All In All we had a great time.

Myself and my husband just returned from our honeymoon from cocos. We stayed in room 5 and it was paradise. Total paradise it's the only word to describe the whole place. Hotel itself: Ok so I read a lot of reviews and like anyone had concerns about them and here are my views on the negative points people picked up on (baring in mind I am a total snob): Outdated - the hotel is in no way outdated. Simple. If you want a modern hotel go to a built up place. But I can guarantee you will not have a paradise feeling you have here. Food - I am fussy and I am saying the food couldn't have been more tasty. 5* food breakfast lunch and dinner. Security/people selling on beach - our beach isn't totally private, however, there was hardly any people along the whole beach! We are at the end of the beach and have our own clear area which not one person who was not part of the hotel came on to. One person tried to sell us a jet ski, we said no and he left! Did not annoy us in any way and we were planning on going on them anyway. Walk to the rooms - yes of course there is a walk to the rooms, you have booked a holiday on a cliff to have the views you want, what do you expect? An elevator?! We stayed there a few nights and literally had the best time. Food, Akil on the beach bar, our room, the list is endless it was just perfect I do not have one fault. Now we unfortunately were here during hurricane Irma struck. Myself and my husband still are in shock at how the hotel dealt with the situation. They evacuated us to another hotel to keep us safe organising the whole thing. They gave us enough food and drink to last forever. The staff gave up going home to their families to stay with us 24/7 to keep us safe. They kept us continually informed and did all they could to get us home to the uk. There are no words to describe how grateful we are they kept us safe. We felt like a big family out there and we miss them! We are already currently trying to plan to return to have our real honeymoon early next year and pray we can do so. Hope to see you guys soon! � Kate and jake xxxxx
