We stayed at Cocoa end Jan/beginning Feb this year, 2012. I am writing an article about our trip which should be ready end Feb/early March. Hmmm. It won't be top of the list and it won't hit the bottom but please don't book your moon of honeys here before then - a diving holiday yes, maybe but not your honeymoon.... More

Let me first start by saying, Cocoa Island Resort is very well maintained and managed. The service was first rate and it's the people that made the trip for me, no doubt. Location was beautiful, villas were outstanding, very clean and I can't wait to go back. Many thanks to the staff that made the trip for us, especially Vijay... More

My husband and I went for our honeymoon in the second week of January and we really couldn't be happier with our time at Cocoa Island. In fact, we even made up a song about Cocoa Island that we are still singing to each other. It makes us happy. As everyone here is saying, the food is amazing, and honestly,... More

My husband and I went Maldives in mid-January and stayed in Cocoa Island for 6 nights. We choose this resort mainly because of the comments from other Tripadvisors. I struggled for few days on how should I comment the resort. Maybe put it this way, provided the price (USD1K per night) we paid, we somewhat expect the 5 start hotel... More

We went here for our Honeymoon in May, and it is a beautiful setting and the wife did love it but there are several issues, especially at the price point. What ultimately led to this review was the very high ranking it received in the Global Top 25. #1 Food - There are options of a la carte, half board... More

Dear TheSki, Thank you very much for your helpful feedback. I’m happy to hear that you found our staff and yoga instructor to be friendly and helpful. However, I am truly sorry to read about about the service lapses you experienced during your stay in May 2011. They were definitely not reflective of the high service standards we strive for... More

My husband and I chose Cocoa Island for our 13 day honeymoon because we sought a honeymoon destination was luxurious yet low-key, elegant but understated, and -- more than anything -- relaxing. We found all this at Cocoa Island, and we couldn't recommend the hotel more highly to our friends and family. We are so impressed with the Como Shambhala... More

What a great place! Padding down the steps of our deck to snorkel around the house reef in the turquoise sea before the perfect breakfast is delivered to our room is exactly why I come to places like Cocoa. On the subject of food - it's outstanding. After pigging out at breakfast, a light fish lunch with delicate herbs from... More

After deciding to visit Maldives for our honeymoon, we spent quite a bit of time researching which resort to stay at and what time of year to go. It takes so much time and money (from the U.S.) that we wanted to make sure we got it right. We ended up going at the end of October and beginning of... More

My Wife and I went to Cocoa Island for our Honeymoon, and I can honestly say there was not one single disappointment at Cocoa Island. The staff is great, the island is picturesque. You will probably see some reviews that state that the place is pricey. My honest opinion is that you pay for what you get. Coming from North... More

Cocoa island looks like the perfect resort: beautiful white sand-beach, friendly staff, nice bungalows. You spend a nice time... if you have the money for it! Everything has a price and that's what you feel during your holidays there: no happy hour, every single activity incurs a cost.... You feel "milked" for your entire holidays, which doesn't really help with... More
