“Coco House - A truly amazing place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed at Coco House this February - what a holiday!

Any apprehension I had about renting an 'unknown' on the internet was dismissed as soon as we arrived. We were met by Yasmine who showed us around the villa and explained everything. The Villa was everything we expected, but more so - the photos don't do it justice. Everything was immaculate, very clean and well stocked.
One nice touch was the mobile phone left for our use - it saved a fortune over using our UK registered one on the local calls for taxis etc.
The large veranda was shaded and perfect for breakfast and, in the evenings, for our regular BBQ's. During the day it was difficult to get out of the pool and to the beach! But what a beach; absolutely picture postcard perfect, pristine with white powder sand and pure blue sea.
Coco House is part of a small private estate, comprisising 3 villas and a Caribbean style house with 4 apartments. There is good privacy and the Sugar Ridge Hotel next door offers 2 quality restaurants on your doorstep.
It is hard to fault Coco House, but I would not recommend it. The reason for this is that we would rather it remain a secret, so in future we can enjoy it just for ourselves - yes we will be rebooking. Seriously, go and you will not be disappointed

“Great interiors, dreadful location”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 March 2008

You book a villa for some privacy and relaxation..... which is just not available at these villas.

Since complaining to the management the website description has been changed - it previously described villas on a quiet picturesque hillside - in fact they are at the bottom of a hill right on a noisy main road with very limited (but admitedly far reaching) views.

On the one day we did spend any time at the villa by the pool the gardener was constantly present and the managers visited twice to do something inside the villa - No privacy at all! One day we even returned to find one of the gardeners clothes on the verandah and the gardener sitting on one of the sun loungers!

As for he landscaped gardens... maybe in 10 years time?

If you want quiet privacy this isn't for you!

If you aren't fussed about road noise and privacy - the layout and interior of the villa is as described on the website.

  • Liked — layout
  • Disliked — road noise and complete lack of privacy
