"We really enjoyed our stay at cocos. The staff could not be more helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. The aircon was very efficient !! The food was beyond our expectations. Everything was made fresh with plenty of choices and daily chefs specials - Healthy choices available . The daily fish suggestion was always good. The Bar staff are super freindly with fast service at all bar locations throughout the day and eve . The 2 beaches are equally stunning with roped off areas for safe swimming/floating . My one suggestion would be to update the beach umbrellas. They are simply not big enough and give almost no shade in the afternoon as they are fixed into the ground. It was truly a beautiful and peaceful resort for couples and we would not hesitate to return. Antigua is a beautiful island with wonderful people. I look forward to returning."

10/10 Excellent
"After my previous accommodation plans fell through, I needed last-minute accommodations for my partner and I. It was off season in August and I booked with Kat and Trev late in the evening for a next day early check-in and I am SO glad we found them! The studio is perfect, I only wish we could have stayed for longer than 4 nights. The hot water is HOT, shower pressure is amazing, accommodations are clean, bed is comfortable. There’s a kettle and French press for coffee, and they even get you started with a 5 liter jug of water, as the water from the tap is not for consumption. They provided contacts for 2 drivers. Evi is the driver who helped us with grocery runs, airport pickup for my partner, and date night in Jolly Harbour, just a 5 minute drive. He is super kind, prompt, and a genuinely great guy. The beaches are STUNNING and easily walkable - maybe a 2 minute walk. Off season weekdays are quiet and empty - perfect for us! We rented a kayak and snorkel gear from Trev and spent several hours one morning kayaking to different reefs to see some incredible sea life!My *only* critique is that the AC unit is placed on a wall that gets VERY warm. I’m not sure if it’s the boiler location or what, but in mid August the split was set at 16C and the studio never got below 28C overnight. As a woman with hot flashes, this was uncomfortably warm for me, but that’s the Caribbean in August and I’m grateful any AC at that point.Book with Kat and Trev- you won’t regret it!"

"We stayed for 11 nights and were very happy. Apartment was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Alyson was very helpful if we had any difficulty. Would recommend a car to get around as taxis can be expensive. Lovely view and beautiful Ffryes beach is our favourite. Would have no hesitation recommending any of Alyson’s properties."

Caribbean Sea View Cottage

10/10 Excellent
"Questo cottage è un gioiello circondato da un giardino lussureggiante, dove puoi godere della massima privacy e sicurezza essendo all'interno di un grande spazio recintato con un cancello automatico per accedervi con l'auto. L'interno del cottage corrisponde alle foto, ampi spazi, letto comodo e cucina completamente attrezzata. La vista dal balcone è mozzafiato, il posto ideale per fare colazione o sorseggiare un bicchiere di vino al tramonto. A proposito visto che festeggiavamo il nostro 20 anniversario di matrimonio, ci hanno fatto trovare una bottiglia di vino italiano in frigo, molto apprezzato.Non abbiamo incontrato i proprietari poichè erano all'estero, ci ha accolto Stella che ci ha dato tutte le prime informazioni.Noleggiare la loro auto è stata una grande comodità, ci hanno anche inviato un taxi per prelevarci all'aeroporto a loro spese.Oana è stata super reattiva a tutte le nostre domande e richieste e ci ha dato un sacco di suggerimenti (molto validi) su cosa fare, ristoranti, ecc. Non perdete una visita alla piantagione di Mr. Grant, un'esperienza davvero interessante. Abbiamo avuto un problema con la lavatrice, Oana ha inviato un tecnico il giorno stesso che ha risolto il problema, ottimo servizio! Se posso dare un suggerimento, dotare il cottage di un piccolo forno micro onde e un hoover. Oana e Flo, state facendo un grande lavoro, avanti così ed in bocca al lupo per la vostra attività! Con affetto e gratitudine. Matteo & Lisa"
