COMO Cocoa Island, The Maldives

We stayed at Como Cocoa Island in July for a long stay. This is a return trip to Cocoa for us, as we were here over 15 years ago. From the moment we were greeted by their Arrivals team, and subsequently arriving at Cocoa Island we felt a sense of warmth and friendliness, felt like we were returning to a familiar place. Top to bottom every member of the hotel staff always greeted us with a warm smile. While they don’t have a Kids Club, the hotel let our children roam the island and greeted them by name and with a smile. For snorkelers and divers, the house reef is one of the best in the Maldives and lots of dive sites a mere 10min away by boat. Marine life is abundant with regular sightings of Turtles, Rays and Sharks not to mention the myriad of fishes within the lagoon/villas. Cocoa Island is not only beautiful but the premises is clean and well-maintained. A few special appreciations. To our Butler, Binoy who worked tirelessly, but always greeted us with a big smile! From anticipating our needs large and small, knowing our food preferences, and coming up with activities for our children - nothing was impossible. A huge thank you to The Marine Center team for helping my son and I get our Scuba Certification and scuba trips with the rest of my family. Your patience, warmth and friendliness towards my son in helping him get his junior certification and subsequent dive trips helped me know that we are in great hands! The Chef and F&B team - always accommodating us. The GMs and Guest Service Managers, you and your team’s outstanding attitude towards service, and treating guests not only with respect but with genuine care for hospitality that is something that truly makes Como special.

Cocao Island is the best resort in the Maldives for relaxation and rejuvenating. Blue sky, crystal clear turquoise water, and white soft sand - Perfect! The tented dinner and villa setup to celebrate ny birthday is gorgeous. Thank you so much the amazing Cocoa Island team. We have had the relaxing rest throughout the stay - snorkeling on house reef is second to none greeted by turtle, black tip shark, colorful fish and various corals, scrumptios cuisine, and immaculate villas. Special thanks to Visam, Nazeel, Maria, April, Ravi, Mujey, and the exceptional Cocoa Island team for creating our memorable experiences beyond our wishes. You all are incredible! Highly recommend for everyone loving to explode the simple but luxurious life! We will be back again! 😊

Very unique, quiet, small place. The team makes the guests life close to perfect. There is a reason that most guests are repeat customers like we are: we met some who came back >20 or even 37 times!

When visiting Como Cocoa Island you enter a little wonderful world of its own. Everyone is superfriendly and being there feels like being part of a big family. The nature surrounding the resort is absolutely beautiful, with many great dive sites and reefs for snorkeling. I loved every second of my stay and look forward to coming back soon!

Fantastic stay! The hotel felt exclusive and quiet. The rooms were very spacious with comfortable bed and day bed. Fantastic balcony overlooking the sea with total privacy. Daily snacks and drinks provided. I stayed here years ago- there is definitely an improvement in the rooms and the hotel staff are fantastic. Hospitality top notch! Food- one of the best seafood risotto I’ve had. Good variety so that you don’t get too bored if you are staying there for a period. Did not get to try the massage but there’s a big hydrotherapy pool which helped to soothe our aching muscles. Nice beach and house reef all around. Miss the place already…
