Just perfect!!

Review of Coco Shambhala
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 18 Nov 2020via mobile
We stayed here from 14-17 Nov 2020.
Positives:
1. Awesome food tailored to our food restrictions and taste. Impeccable!! Can’t be better than this.
2. Prompt service. All the staff members are highly motivated and strive to achieve perfection in whatever they are doing. Special mention for Suhas and Cleto
3. Stunning views because of thoughtful and very tasteful architecture of all villas. Three cheers for Jiles!!
4. Right amount of adventure. We did scuba near the lighthouse and visited the waterfall in the middle of the forest for a refreshing hike + bath!!
Negative:
1. We stayed in villa 4 “varenya” which has very unstable WiFi. However, by the end of the stay we were all happy about it because it offered a good digital detox as well.
Date of stay: November 2020

    We booked a villa with friends and had the most wonderful relaxing week ever. Hat off to the chef for his delicious breakfast and meals. The villa is big enough for 2 couples and 2 teenagers ; super clean and very well equipped. The private pool has an amazing view. You can also enjoy a nice massage at the SPA.

    COCO SHAMBHALA........The moments permanently etched in memories. This is ahidden jewel nestled away in the western ghats overlooking the beautiful and absolutely clean albeit little known Bhogwe beach. I had been wanting to visit this for a long time but finally got a chance to do so. We drove down from Mumbai in the last week of September and stayed there for a full week. One of the most unforgettable family holidays and we cant wait to visit again. The villas were beautifully designed, very earthly completely integrated with the natural surroundings. The private infinity pool just perfect for a family with kids. The food was just amazing....a well curated menu with local ingredients. Service, The service and hospitality was excellent.....extremely warm and helpful staff, always ready and available to help in any way possible with a smile. The beach was amazingly clean.....felt like a private beach with no-one to around. We also managed to visit one of hidden waterfalls....again awesome and private. A pet friendly hotel, we had taken our dog, who clearly had a gala time freely roaming around the resort, and though he hates water.....he just could not get over the beach water and swimming in sea just came naturally. Frankly I can just go on and on......there is not one thing that i can complain about. In Covid times you really cant find a safer option for a holiday. I want to thank the Suhas and Cleto for taking such amazing care of all of us and the entire staff for their hospitality and making us feel at home.

    The experience was surreal...Thank you from all of us and look forward to seeing you all again.

    P.S. Will add photos later.

    A big big thank you and absolutely greatful to Cleto D’mello and his absolutely wonderful staff. Thank you for the most memorable and wonderful trip. 10 day break from homeschool and my husband asks me let’s go on a holiday - I said no way I’m going on a flight, what about hygiene what checks? He said let’s drive down to Sindhudurg to the divine Coco Shambhala I said fine and we did our Covid tests (a pre requisite at the property’s) and off we went. 10 hour drive with two kids and absolutely absolutely worth every km.

    The villas were just gorgeous, absolutely child friendly, and the food just supreme. The private infinity pool with a view of the ocean would put this amongst the best of what Bali would offer. The villa was very well stocked with all the amenities. The villa is very well appointed with a functioning small kitchenette, wine chiller ad a mini fridge.

    We were so spoiled by Cleto and his team - a set up at the beach one morning (the beach is pretty much uninhabited and clean with clear water), relaxing massages, round the clock service and a beautifully set up last dinner with amazing barbecued goodies.

    Hygiene is superb and they were careful about everything and my paranoia was gone. They sanitised our bags, and our car inside and outside, everyone the property wore masks at all times.

    My kids roamed around the property by themselves without a worry in the world.

    (Also I want to add its pet friendly and I could go in and on)

    P.S. : the pictures just don’t do it justice.

    We stayed here in March for 10 days as a family with two small children. This was the first long haul we had been on with the kids.

    We stayed in the first villa, as this was the best for the kids. The accomodation is fantastic! Great views, comfortable, spacious and probably the best view I have ever had on holiday! Beautiful sea views, the pool, plants, monkeys, birds and other wildlife right on your doorstep.

    The hospitality was great. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is out of this world, served in your accommodation, and staff give you detail about what local ingredients are used and the cooking process. They'll also give you reccomendations. Chocolate ganache was one of our favourites. They are also happy to make additional kid friendly options.

    It is set in a quiet location, a very short walk from the almost deserted beach. Staff will set you up on the beach for the day with towels etc.

    We both had treatments at the spa, which were again brilliant!

    We didn't really do many trips out other than a boat ride to see dolphins, and a river boat trip. I would reccomend both.

    The staff really make this place extra special. The children loved playing with them, and my little girl who is 3 was treated to daily activities.

    I don't really want to go on holiday anywhere else ever again! It is so special.
