Customer Reviews

“Perfect honeymoon destination”

I spent over a year reading reviews of hotels and once I found Cocos as a potential honeymoon spot I read almost every review available to me. I am 100% happy that I stuck with Cocos as the location for my husband and I to have our honeymoon. We had the best 7 days and came back feeling refreshed and relaxed.

Honestly there's nothing I can say that hasn't already been echoed countless times by other reviewers. All I would say is that I agree with all the positive comments and descriptions of this little piece of paradise.

I recommend the zipline/kayak/snorkel excursion, it was a great day. If you are pressed for time, I wouldn't say that making the morning trip to St. Johns is a priority. The shopping wasn't amazing and it was really hot. My husband and I did a private beach dinner one night, that was fun, I think it was $100 extra? Don's miss the steel pan music night! They are unbelievable! Definitely rent a jet-ski! It's the most fun ever.

We stayed in Cottage #22. We had a/c. The outdoor shower was amazing!!! Leave your heels at home for sure. I wore nothing but flip flops the whole week. What a treat for my feet! The security was fantastic. I never felt scared.

As a side note, I don't eat any types of seafood and I had plenty of options available to me throughout the week so if anyone is nervous about that, don't be!

The staff were friendly without getting too nosy. If you wanted to have conversations they were there, and if you wanted some peace & quiet, they completely respected that which, in my opinion, is the best kind of customer service you could ask for.

I would without hesitation recommend this hotel to anyone. Please feel free to direct message me with questions etc.

“Unique, Scenic Hotel Above the Beach”

Positives:
-Incredibly fun, friendly staff--best we've ever had at a hotel
-Excellent location
-Beach area is private, well kept, right below the property and stunning
-Views are amazing of the beach from the dining area/bar and most of the property
-Unique, individual huts with a very rustic, island feel
-Outdoor shower, balcony was great to relax
-Food was good, not great, but they were very flexible accommodating to whatever we wanted
-The bartenders make excellent, strong drinks

Negatives:
-No A/C in some rooms (we had no A/C and was not a problem for us, but could be for some)
-A lot of bugs in/around room, but they provide you with burning candles that work well and nets
-Rooms aren't fancy if that is what you are looking for--more islandy feel which we personally loved, but some may not

Overall, we loved Coco's. We split our week half and half between here and the Sugar Ridge property, which was more upscale. We really enjoyed both and would recommend doing the same if you are spending a week in Antigua as it gave as two different experiences on the same island.
