“Ten days in paradise!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We spent ten days in paradise in January 2012 and stayed in room #1 with sis in the adjoining room.
What an amazing place! Flora,fauna and piscatorial life were so varied and spectacular. Palm tree within arm’s reach, wild goat behind the bungalow, randy rooster (an escapee from the farm on the other side of the island) as an alarm clock, sun bathing lizards and scores of hermit crabs getting high on the dregs from our coffee. Fish, corals and sea urchins off Cistern Point.
Our accommodation was first class, no need for air-con as the high cupola roof and variable speed large ceiling fan kept us cool enough and the bed was so big we almost required a GPS to find our way around it. Wet room shower and bathroom was marvellous.
What really impressed us was the managers’ and owners’ commitment to and investment in, creating an eco-friendly resort. As it stands the resort is a prime example of what can be achieved at low environmental cost without sacrificing quality and comfort, and according to what Andy and Sam(antha) the managers told us there’s still more to come.
Our meals in the restaurant were gastronomic experiences for us Brits. We’d no idea tuna could taste so good and were somewhat dismayed that the best Angus steaks we’ve ever tasted were prepared a good few thousand miles away from where we live. Can’t get them like that at home in Scotland and Angus county is only 40 miles away!
The staff - restaurant, bar, housekeeping and others were delightful and took very obvious pride in looking after us and the resort. They also clearly enjoyed working at Cooper Island Beach Club.
This was our first experience of travel outside Europe and we’ll be back just as soon as we can.

Had a wonderful 3 nights at cooper Island, wish we could have stayed longer.
lovely room and balcony overlooking the beach, great beach for swimming and you can hire snorkling gear and a kayak to paddle around to an impressive little reef. Wonderful bar for chilling out watching the sunset. The wait and bar staff were impressively efficient under some busy conditions while remaining friendly and welcoming.
can't wait to return.
I've only given breakfast average because it was a limited continental, but really nothing wrong with it. We wouldn't have wanted anything else before lying on the beach and enjoying their great lunches and dinners.

My husband and I just returned from a 1 week stay at CIBC (Cooper Island Beach Club) and had a wonderful time! We have been going there since the 90's and were afraid that perhaps it had become too refined but we were wrong . While all of the improvements are welcomed it has lost none of its charm. The bed was so comfortable!! The food was terrific. Colin and Jan the owners were on site during our visit and their commitment to the "greening " of CIBCis heartening ! The entire staff took wonderful care of us and made sure we felt special. We will go back sooner than later and we will take people with us!

Room Tip: Do not go if you don't want to miss your favorite tv show. The boutique is lovely but if your f...

“This place is amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

people found this review helpful

We just returned from our 12-day honeymoon in the British Virgin Islands. While we had a great time on the sailboat my husband and I chartered, about half-way through we were ready for a couple of days on land! The captain we had for the first few days of our trip had suggested we try out the Cooper Island Beach Club, and we are so glad he did!

This small, charming, recently renovated resort was just what we needed. The staff was first-rate, the food was delicious, happy hour (from 4 to 6p) was very happy, and the rooms were delightful with the most amazing views.

And, this was the only place on the islands we found concerned at all about sustainability issues which we totally appreciated! Currently, about 65% of their energy is generated by solar and they are adding to that system. Rainwater is collected for resort water use and then reclaimed for watering the beautiful, native-planted grounds. They grow some of the herbs they use in the restaurant kitchen. And there are two cute dogs that live there and greet guests, adding a homey feel.

The owners, Collin and Jan, happened to arrive for a month-long stay while we were there. Collin spent lots of time showing us around and making us feel right at home. Made the stay even better!

If you're staying at the resort, you can use the sea kayaks and snorkling equipment at the dive shop for free. We took advantage of the equipment and had a great time paddling around and exploring.

We liked the place so much we went back to stay for our last night on the islands. STAY HERE! You'll be very glad you did. Was a true highlight of our trip and I'm sure would be of yours as well.

“Can't wait to go back!”

In Jan 2011 my wife and I and 3 other couples chartered a Cat for a 10 day adventure. It had been almost 9 years since our last BVI bareboat trip, we were well overdue. On our last trip Cooper Island was our 3rd night stop. We snorkeled at Cistern Point, had lunch and dinner ashore, and did a little shopping. At that time Cooper Island for us was just "ok", nothing too exciting.
This year was a completely different experience for us. After some great snorkeling at Cistern Point we went ashore to have a light lunch. Of course the first thing we noticed were the renovations that had been done to the bar and restaurant area, VERY NICE. The staff was very pleasant! I must tell you that during the planning stages of our trip my wife was less than enthused about returning to Cooper Island, but logistically it worked best for our last night aboard. After spending the afternoon enjoying the view, the comfy couches, and the wonderful service her thoughts had changed. We both kept commenting on how much nicer the whole club looked and felt. We had to return for dinner! So later that evening we did. The food, the atmosphere and the service were exceptional! We really enjoyed talking with our waiter who let us in on some of the changes. He said the ownership had spent a LOT of money doing the renovations and they were receiving some great feedback from all the guests. It was difficult to leave the club that night and head back to the boat. We are now seriously considering doing a land based trip for the first time, and we want to spend it at Cooper Island!
