Cocos Hotel

Cocos is not your typical hotel — it’s a breathtaking boutique resort nestled on a lush mountainside overlooking the Caribbean Sea. We absolutely loved its intimate, tucked-away feel and the stunning ocean views from every corner. The food was outstanding — every meal was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Our cottage was spacious, spotless, and perfectly cool thanks to great air conditioning. The bed and linens were incredibly comfortable, but the real showstopper was the outdoor shower. Rinsing off while gazing out at the ocean or under the stars was pure magic — I don’t know how we’ll ever stay somewhere tropical without one again! The beaches were immaculate — no seaweed, soft sand, and plenty of sturdy loungers and umbrellas. We enjoyed the beach so much that we skipped excursions altogether and didn’t even mind the pool being under maintenance (you can find a pool anywhere, but the 2 beaches on the property are one of a kind). Each guest stays in a private cottage with no shared walls, creating a wonderfully peaceful and romantic atmosphere. The staff were genuinely warm, attentive, and happy — it’s clear they love what they do, and it makes all the difference. There’s truly something special about Cocos — words don’t quite do it justice. You just have to experience it yourself. We can’t wait to come back for an anniversary in the future!

Everything you could want for a relaxing stay, incredible views, the staff, the food and drink all exceptional. Will we ever go back? I really hope so!

We just returned from Cocos Hotel a couple of weeks ago and we're dying to go back. We spent 8 nights at this stunning property and loved every minute. Property The property is compact and everything is only a short walk away. The hotel is on a cliff, so depending on the location of your cottage you might get a complimentary leg workout, but it's not overly strenuous for the average person. The scenery is beautiful with lots of greenery and the views are stunning. Beach and pool The two beaches are absolutely stunning. We preferred Jolly Beach as it's a bit quieter. Both beaches are clean and the sun loungers are comfortable. We didn't really use the pool, but the location is nice and the big kabana style loungers are nice. The pool is being refurbished at the moment. Accommodation We found our cottage (#1) to be a good size for two people. It's equipped with a coffee machine, mini fridge, safe and kettle. The bed was super comfy and we loved the outdoor shower. It is rustic and could do with a lick of paint in some places, but we liked that it felt authentic. Restaurant My husband is a picky eater, but he had something different every day and was never disappointed. I will forever try to recreate the grilled snapper. The kitchen is happy to accommodate requests and we found the waiting staff super friendly and attentive. Staff The staff is SO friendly. We've been to other places in the Caribbean before where the service seemed to depend on the tip you gave. Antigua in general is not like that at all. At Cocos, we found everybody, from groundspeople to front of house, incredibly warm and genuine. Kris helped us sort out an alternative trip when our original excursion (not booked via the hotel) got cancelled, plus he was able to recommend a hiking company who I ended up going on 3 hikes with as I loved it so much. We don't usually go back to the same places, but my husband and I both said that we'd go back to Cocos (and Antigua) in a heartbeat. It truly was one of the best holidays we've had.

Good location, friendly staff and great food. Communication internally was at times in consistent with a lack of urgency unless we prompted a few times. Watch out for jet ski vendors on the beach! They do not work for COCOs and will claim to, and often are friendly with staff which presents a guise for being mislead. Book everything through the hotel where you can as they were helpful most of the time.

Cocos EXCEEDED our expectations by far!From the lovely cottages, to the fabulous food, and lovely beaches, we wanted for nothing! For our 70th birthday celebration, we chose the Sunset View cottage and it was perfect. All requests pre-check-in were met. We are both consider quality food very important. Meals at Cocos were varied and cooked to perfection for us (we did have 1 breakfast we didn’t care for, but we were late sitting down). Compliments to the chef for consistently delicious meals! We are already in the process of booking again. Are there 10 star ratings?! If so, Cocos would get that rating from us.
