We stayed at the Coconut Court Hotel for a week in January 2012. This was our second visit to Coconut Court. The first time was eight years ago and since then they have done some upgrading to their rooms as they are all air conditioned now with other upgrades to the rooms.
The hotel is family run and all rooms face the ocean. We had a room on the second floor with a view of the patio, pool and ocean. All rooms have a balcony or patio to relax after a day at the pool or beach. A continental breakfast is included and is served in an open air area with a view of the beach. There are ample beach loungers so everyone can have one while they enjoy time on the beach. There are several palm trees on the beach that provide shade if you want that. They also have a bar on the beach.
The hotel includes a restaurant and bar, a beach bar, activities desk, pool, Jacuzzi, and tables and chairs around the pool and patio area. Several times a week they have entertainment on a small stage in the patio/pool area. One night they have the manager’s welcome party with complementary fruit punch and rum punch. After the party they have an outdoor buffet of Bajan food and during the week they also have specialty food nights at the restaurant.
In front of the hotel they have a unique snorkeling area that is about waist deep in most places and some years ago they placed several artificial reef structures that attract lots of colorful fish. This area is now somewhat mature so it is fun to snorkel around and is a good area for adults and kids to see all the fish.
Our room had a partial kitchenette with a full size refrigerator, microwave and toaster along with a few glasses and dishes. That was enough to keep drinks, cheeses and crackers for light snacks and drinks available when we wanted something.
The staff at Coconut Court was very accommodating for whatever we were looking for. They would show us or tell us how to get around to various places we wanted to go. There were bus stops just outside on the street where you could catch a big bus or small van and go anywhere you wanted to on the island. We boooked a 5 hour Catamaran snorkel cruise at the activities desk at the hotel. It was aboard the Bolador with Captain Jeff. We only had 8 people on the 40plus foot catamaran that day and it was a great trip.
Some years ago they constructed a very nice boardwalk down by the water. About a half block down the beach from Coconut Court you can get on the boardwalk and it takes you down by various restaurants and hotels and down to Accura Beach where there is shopping and snorkeling right off the beach with the reef marked with two buoys. They have small places there to get something to eat or drink as well.
There are small and large grocery stores close to the hotel and an ATM about a block from the hotel so it is in a very convenient location. We enjoyed our second stay there as much, if not better, than the first time we were there.
