Cocos Hotel

My husband and I had the wonderful experience of staying with the good people at Cocos Hotel. So many highlights but want to focus on what makes a holiday great. Firstly, the staff are amazing. They bend over backwards to ensure your every moment is special. Secondly, the surroundings are so beautiful, you constantly feel immersed in paradise. While "all-inclusive" conjures ups visions of buffets and bland, you can leave those preconceptions at the door. All meals are freshly prepared with daily specials for each meal. While I was very happy with every meal and the generous choices in wines and spirits, a couple vegetarian guests wanted a little more variety. That being said, they still felt they had a nice experience. It should be noted that the rooms are situated on the side of a hill and the steep climb to the rooms was a good workout for us but might be limiting for people with disabilities. Another frustration we had was around tipping. There is no cash machine on the property and getting larger bills (EC and US) changed for appropriate tip amounts was very difficult. Most staff were unable to change and it was uncomfortable to ask. I wanted to understand if the tips went to all staff or the individual you give the tip to. It is a difficult one but it would be helpful if it was clear through the introduction letter. Cocos deserves the top review but want to ensure folks understand some of the nuances we experienced.

My BF and I really enjoyed our stay. The staff is lovely, the views are mind-blowing, the accommodations are great, and so was the food! The last part was most surprising to me, since it is an all inclusive. Things to note: there is a substantial hill - it makes your view better, but not for the faint of heart. The hotel arranged for a can to take us downtown, which I would not do again - no fault of the hotel’s though - it was just too much time and the downtown is limited.

We had ten wonderful nights here in March. Stunning location, wonderful food and amazing staff. Not for you if you want luxury bedrooms but if you want peace and quiet, comfortable beds, amazing views , a private beach area and quality food and drink then it is fantastic.You need to be fit to walk the hill up to the bungalows. All the staff are friendly and helpful , the waitresses Kerry Ann and Aneusha were lovely, Jennifer on reception was helpful and Kemar on security was friendly. Thank you for a special holiday.

Just got back from my honeymoon and my husband and I fell in love with Cocos! The location is amazing, and all of the rooms have a gorgeous view. We loved that it was all inclusive so you didn’t have to worry about a thing once you got there. The food was delicious! The service excellent! Love the outdoor showers and the simple rooms. My favorite thing was Valley Church Beach. I highly recommend Cocos to any couple looking for a perfect Caribbean paradise.

I would agree with many of the previous reviews. Cocos is set in a beautiful location, the food is good, the staff are friendly. The overall atmosphere is relaxed and happy. Some of the facilities are rather rustic and not what you might expect in a swanky resort but this seems to add to the laid-back, Carribean vibe. We booked a standard room but appeared to be given the next grade up with a great sunset view. On the last day, having checked out earlier, we were allowed to use one of the new rooms with a plunge pool to get showered in. This was in exactly the same style as our previous room but more spacious and properly finished off - it would be good if the management could bring all the accomodation up to this level. However, having stayed at a Carribean Sandals resort before we much prefer Cocos because it felt like a more authentic, local experience
