The location of this hotel is nice for divers since many spots are very close from the beach. The swimming pool is also great. However prices are expensive for what you get, no hot water in the room, power failures...

Our stay at coco beach had been really memorable. The room is great, there was really effort with the concept of the room. I loved the hammock and the realxing view at the balcony. Their facilities are awesome too, I enjoyed the jacuzzi at silent pool, hanging bridge, main pool. The drinks and food by the pool were so convenient. Food is good. Staff are friendly , accomodating and know customer service. Overall, i loved it!

We had a really lovely time during our stay. The staff were superb. It's a really nice setting, the hotel support eco friendly materials and it's a nice getaway from it all, surrounded by the sea and coconut trees. The only feedback that I have is that it would be nice if they can inform guests that the toothbrush and toothpaste are not provided, although these are available for sale in the hotel's shop, it would be nice to know in advance.

Location was great, pool area and main building in good order, and staff great. Resort let down by small details, like bad wifi, no hot water, and broken/old fixtures in rooms. Staff tried to make up for lack of hot water, but it was poor form to act as if it was the first they had heard of the problem, when every room in a 15+ block had the problem, and those that we talked to had also complained.

Nice place to unwind outside the city
Coco beach is somewhat isolated so prepare to burn some money if you don't want to go out and hire a banca. It was okay for an R&R, we stayed the heritage room and was greeted by a service mama. She was very nice and I like how the family cleans the house while we're away swimming or heading out to snorkel on some neighboring island. The food, overall was good (filipino dishes) but the international cuisines...well, at least they tried but it was okay... some tasted like the ones you buy from a local chinese take-out place. Our family is kinda laid back (just want to chill in private) so the resort is good for us. If you're on the adventurous kind you should go to White beach instead, there's plenty of water activities there.

Bad service and not 4 stars
This hotel should not have 4 stars, we booked a room with Hot water and Aircon, hot water was not working, the food at the hotel is not good and the service was not great either. We experienced on our transfer to Manila that we did not get the trip we paid for - boat directly to Batangas and van directly to Manila. We ended up with 2 boats and one detour of 1 hour as they had a drop off of one of the owners in the van. Not great when the car trip already is quite long with small children etc. we then complained and asked them to drive us to our hotel in Manila in order to save time and as there was no other guests in the car but they would to agree to this and instead we where dropped 2 km. away on the street with 4 x luggage and 2 small children to find our own taxi. not impressed and will never go back again.

Superb view of the water while lying on a hammock
Coco beach is ideal for a relaxed, quiet and slow paced holiday, away from the noisy or sometimes rowdy crowd of tourists. The rustic ambience gives every guest an authentic feel of the old Filipino community in a resort setting. The unique "service family" concept also gives everyone, whether foreign or local, a taste of Pinoy hospitality. For a quick but good snorkelling, one can easily access the reef with the floating wharf. Lots of free activities in the morning keep the kids busy and enjoying. The Trattoria resto needs to improve its service, staff efficiency and food quality though i had no problems with the other restaurants. Water in the faucet and showers need extra treatment. Overall, It was an excellent 4 days.

Disappointed
There was nothing that indicated I needed to hire a banka boat to get from Sabang seaport in order to get to Coco Beach Resort. Upon arrival I was greated by the loud sound of construction and stench of rotten mud that was been carted in by wheelbarrow. The property was heavily undergoing renovations. An upside was that the Staff was very friendly and nice. The room was less than desirable. Bed was dirty and pillows smelled of mildew/mold. Bath towels smells of mildew/mold. The bed included a mosquito next, but the net had a large pile of dead termites. The room had one small floor fan bolted to the wall but hardly cooled off the hot room. Both of the restaurants were closed during my stay, one due to renovations and the other due to it being low season I guess. The bar was supposed to be open late, but closed at around 8pm. Very disappointing stay. Will not return to Coco Beach.

It was very uncomfortable because of steep steps we had climb going to our room. The huts looked ethnic but the bathroom was very small with limited toiletries, the door often gets stuck, and the locks to safety deposit box wasn't working. The view of the water was spectacular though. There was construction going on in the front part of the property. The pool could use a little repair and maybe more water.

This resort is in a beautiful location on the beach and hillside behind. It uses natural pieces for construction and is done in a lovely local Filipino style. Very clean and comfortable, with amenities such as excellent restaurant, sparkling pool, scuba diving or snorkeling. Highly recommended for friends and family.

Really needs improvement on the following areas: Cleanliness of the room: Ceiling and electric fans were a little bit dusty. Quality of Service: Frequently need to ask staff for something that is basically provided by the resort (toiletries, floor mat). Hotel Amenities: Life jackets were few, old and some even damaged already. Wifi is very limited within certain areas in the resort. TV set only provided to rooms with AC.

A Beautiful Isolated Spot - Very Romantic/ Rustic
Wow! This place is perfect for a young honeymooning couple - stunning setting - very isolated - accessible only by boat. The picture perfect rooms are a "hike" up a lovely hillside path - if you are in shape. The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful and the food is a great value. We had room service delivered every night as we were too lazy to make the effort to walk all the way down to the restaurant. The SILENT POOL is by far the best feature - just gorgeous magical place. Not for those who want to be near Sabang or the nightlife there as traveling after dark is very difficult and far.

Personalen var ny och otränad och kunde dålig engelska. Vi har varit här många gånger tidigare och varit nöjda, men denna gång var inte bra.

林間学習を思わせる緑に囲まれたネイチャーランド
山小屋ロッジタイプの部屋に泊まりました。エアコン無しでしたが蚊帳のベッドで夜風がとても気持ち良かったです。シャワーもお湯は出ないですがベストシーズンだった事もあり必要なかったです。広大な敷地内にハウスキーパーの家族も暮らしていて滞在中は彼らフィリピン人の文化に触れ家族の様に過ごすというコンセプトの様です。何か用があると直ぐに部屋に来てくれる様ですが別に特段会話しなくても大丈夫です。私は一泊しましたが特に何も話さなかったです。椰子の木や緑に囲まれて自然を満喫出来ました。昔の林間学習を思わせる感じです。敷地内にテニスコートやバスケットコートもありマリンスポーツ以外のアクティビティも楽しめます。サバン港から小舟でプライベートに着けて上陸しましたが陸からは入れない様でホテル客以外は居ないので、しつこい物売りもおらず喧騒とは無縁で誰にも邪魔されず静かでゆったりとした時間を過ごしたい人には最適かと思います。部屋にはネットコネクションや電源すら無かったですがロビーやレストランに行けばWiFiが繋がります。

Idylle mit gutem Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis
Idyllisches Resort in toller Lage. Eine objektive Bewertung ist hier schwierig, weil es einige ganz klar negative Aspekte gibt, die jedoch durch einen speziellen Charme der Anlage und seines Personals ausgelichen werden. Insgesamt war der Aufenthalt für mich (30 Jahre Südostasien-Erfahrung als Individualtourist) und meine Familie (mit 2 Kindern, 10 und 12 Jahre) angenehm. Fakt ist, dass der Lack in der 30 Jahre alten Anlage ab ist - allerdings nur rein optisch betrachtet (Teile der Anlage sind einfach abgewohnt). ALLERDINGS (!) ... durch die Lage und die Bauweise der Einrichtungen, durch die Freundlichkeit und die Bemühungen der Beschäftigten und vor allem auch durch die Sauberkeit der (wenn auch alten) Unterkünfte sowie der sonstigen Einrichtungen (Restaurant, Poolanlage) bleibt letztendlich ein positiver Gesamteindruck. Fehlende Klimaaanlage und - nur - kaltes Wasser (wobei das Leitungswasser ca. 26 - 28 Grad haben dürfte) muss man von Vorneherein akzektieren (geht aus Hotelbeschreibung hervor) und erinnert den Rucksacktouristen der 80er und 90er Jahre an früher. Die romatischen Bambus- und Ratanhütten inmitten einem tropisches Gartens bzw. Waldes sind damals wie heute einladend. Das Essen in den Restaurants (drei von vier haben wir bei unserem einwöchigen Aufenthalt getestet) war gut. Die Cocktails ebenfalls (täglich um 16 Uhr gibt es eine Happy Hour). Schnorchel- und Tauchausflüge (im Resort gibt es ein Dive-Center) waren allesamt erlebnisreich und nicht überteuert.

Comfortable but with limitations
Overall good experience staying here. Room was good size and comfortable. Restaurant was ok and service good. Beach was kind of small and nothing special. There is also quite large pool which is nice. Slightly disappointed with access to this resort. No road access to premises so every time you want to go somewhere, only option is to pay for boat. So you are basically kind of stuck there. Also the salty water in shower was not so nice. But despite these shortcomings I can still recommend the place.
