COMO Cocoa Island, The Maldives

We had a fabulous time, cocoa island felt like it was a private island even with other guests, the pockets of privacy surrounded the place with the friendliest people working there. The rooms were minimalist with the comfiest bed and pillows. Breakfast was fantastic, all the food was a step above any Maldives stay I’ve had before, the homemade pasta and the curries were delicious. The soufflés were perfection. Phoo was a delight each morning and Anura in the restaurant always. Hindra was charming and so many more but we did reserve a big soft spot for Ravi. He was stand out, always going above and beyond and running the whole bar and beach area seamlessly and a really interesting person. Anan on reception was super helpful and Ibrahim guest relations manager and Arta the general manager were exemplary in their overseeing of the resort. It’s a beautiful place and you can do as little or as much as you want. The snorkelling was fantastic with three reefs all abundant with sea life, we were so lucky to spot and octopus one day amongst hundreds of beautiful 🐠. The hydropool was also a huge bonus. The shop selling the most amazing products was also hard to resist but at least we can still smell ‘Como’ on our return home. Magical we will be back!

We spent four wonderful days at Como Cocoa Island in March. Ms Jana greeted us warmly at the airport and whisked us to the speedboat. On board, Ms Arta introduced herself, greeted us by our names and we were pleasantly surprised as it was our first meeting. When we arrived on the island, the staff gave us a friendly welcome and a tour around. Our villa was spacious with a superb view. We managed a little snorkeling before dinner—a special mix of Western and Thai dishes that night. The next morning, we enjoyed a breakfast buffet with a few à la carte orders. Food was tasty and healthy. We then browsed the Como Shop and picked up some handicrafts. Ms Som kindly recommended the Como Shambhala massage package and suggested we try the hydrotherapy pool first; the massage was fantastic. Ms Nok patiently guided us through a meditation lesson, and cheerful Ms Janani helped us sort out the hotel activities. The catamaran ride with Mr Moade was a highlight—even if we got sunburnt 😁. On our last morning, the staff saw us off warmly. It was an incredible four days, and we are already looking forward to returning next year—Maldives again, Como Cocoa Island especially. Thank you for the wonderful time 💜

I'm so happy to have spent a 6 day holiday on the COMO Cocoa Island. Upon exiting the airport, we were greeted by Moomin's friendly demeanor and excellent hospitality. Upon arriving on the island, we were warmly welcomed by Wisam and other staff members. Since we had been on a plane for nearly 11 hours and hadn't eaten dinner yet, the thoughtful staff kindly asked if we had already dined. It was already nearly 10pm by then. In the end, we were able to catch dinner (which made us very happy). On the second day, Wisam introduced Janani, who explained the various activities available at the hotel. Max also gave us a great introduction to the activities. Although he might have thought we were good swimmers, he still lent us life jackets. I must acknowledge that the service at the restaurant, thank you to Arta Rozefelde for crouching down to our eye level when giving the introduction at the restaurant. Phoo, she was excellent. By the second day, she already knew my drink preferences, Americano and tap water. On our last day, as I was leaving the restaurant, she ran out to say goodbye. Her warmth is something I still remember. John explained the breakfast situation to us, thank you. Another waitress, Fanny, was also very attentive and noticed that my skin tone had visibly changed, haha. We chatted for a while, and she was really kind. Muru always had a lovely smile during breakfast, and the energetic Ilaria was incredibly warm as well. On the boat, she explained where we would go snorkeling and ensured everyone's safety during the activities. All the staff were wonderful and polite. The hotel offers plenty of activities, including yoga, gym, snorkeling gear rentals, spa and massages etc...On the island, you can either stay busy or simply relax. When we left, I never expected everyone to wave us goodbye. We will definitely return. Thank you!

Wonderful staff, great food, and amazing views! Treated like family.

We came for our babymoon. One of our best travel experiences ever. Best food, best stuff (Binoy). Will come back. Thank you <3
