Coco Beach Resort

The resort is absolutely beautiful with stunning water views on the bay, beautifully maintained tropical gardens, and cute tropical "fare" bungalows. You have the choice of swimming in the pristine sea or in the lovely swimming pool. The staff is so dedicated to helping you have the best stay and the manager is very helpful. We'll come back.

Coco Beach resort is a small, quiet and local property. It’s out of town which is great if you are after a quiet experience, and you can snorkel the reef in front of the property. Negatives are the road from town (holes and potholes). The cost of food at the restaurant is also pretty high. If you have expectations of an international chain style accommodation, you will be disappointed. However it is a lovely, basic resort which is warm and welcoming. The staff is very helpful - from arranging transfers to town / assisting with tour bookings / providing advice / assisting to resolve problems. Only other tip is that the reception is the bar on the beach, not at the entry of the property.

Coco Beach is budget friendly and we definitely got value for money. The fares are basic but bright and airy. We had the huge pool to ourselves every time we used it. The snorkelling out the front of the resort was fantastic. While it was a little further out of Vila than we had stayed before, it meant it was very quiet. We had to walk a fair way to get a bus into town on one day but had a delightful trip home by boat from the jetty in Vila, something we had not done before. The food was good but we did have a day and night where the chef was not in so we went to the resort down the road, Paradise Cove, where the food was incredible and we were treated as if we were staying there. Special mention to Frank and Elton at Coco Beach who looked after us so well during our stay. I would recommend Coco Beach for the person looking to relax and snorkel/swim away for the hustle and bustle of a big resort.

Love this place. Staff are genuinely friendly and helpful. The manager gave us rides into town on a few occasions. Clown fish family and plenty of other fish just a couple metres off shore. This is our second time, and we will be back again for sure. 5 o’clock cocktails are a must. Take a water taxi, for a great way to get into town to avoid the pot holes on the roads.

A characteristic resort which is peaceful , good access to beach abs snorkelling . Idyllic setting , lovely bungalows . Dining area with beautiful view, food is good and the staff friendly and welcoming Everything for a tropical paradise , not a party site thank heavens Wonderful staff

Got there the first night alone and there was no one at reception. Three men with torches led me to my room and asked if I was alone. The latches on the window where all broken and didn’t close properly. The floor of the toilet was dirty and there was rat poo on the spare bed. The door handle didn’t feel secure. Left immediately and booked somewhere else as did not feel safe. The property was impossible to get hold of and expedia would not refund me any of the payment (even though I did not spend a single night there). For the price would absolutely not recommend. Would not recommend for solo travel.

We had a very enjoyable stay. Friendly and helpful staff (particularly Frankie), good snorkeling. Peace and quiet.

Lovely staff and sea views. Quiet and away from bustle of town. Big comfortable room. If you want easy walk to town etc, this resort is away from that but the water taxi is excellent.

Lovely place to relax

Manager was excellent. Other staff also nice. Beautiful location, protected from the prevailing winds and swell, right on the beach with great snorkeling.

Perfect relaxation with our biggest decisions being where to swim or which tree to flop under. Beautiful location with swimming & snorkelling right in front of the resort at all tides. Simple food done well. No bells & whistles - the perfect place to escape and unwind.

The resort is small and quiet. The bares are very nice inside. They do get very hot, especially if you are not staying in one of the four beachfront ones that have aircon like we did. Even with aircon it is difficult to keep the room cool as large parts of the building are screened off with mesh. The food at the resort is very expensive. The lunchtime chicken wrap served with a small portion of chips was Au$30. All meals were around the same price. The food was not of the quality expected for such a high price. Breakfast was free. There were a few nights where the chef didn't turn up and we went to restaurants on the other side of the peninsula. I highly recommended Three Pigs and Cafe Villa. Both restaurants served excellent quality food. The road to both is very bumpy - something to note if you have back problems. The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to help you, especially 'H', the manager. Oddly, room cleaning each day took upwards of two hours. Very clean but inconvenient if you need to get back into your room. If you want to go into Port Vila, the quickest way is by water taxi which is a 15min ride and costs V2000 per person - AU$25 per person. You can also get a bus V300 each, or a taxi V2000 each. A word of warning, everything for tourists in Vanuatu is marked up. Don't go there if you are after a cheap holiday. That said, Coco Beach is somewhere to switch off, relax, read and swim. The resort is beautiful, quiet and exactly what we wanted.

The staff and restaurant are excellent. The location is a bit out of the way, but we never struggled to get to any activities from there. We did have a crab sneak in sometime during one of the nights, but that comes with beachfront view i suppose! The snorkelling was fantastic, and we didnt feel the need to go elsewhere and pay since the numbers and variety of stuff to see with the provided gear was so good. Shoutout to Gina who was incredibly helpful and made our stay an absolute delight

A wonderful relaxing place to stay

The staff were amazing and friendly. Very accommodating. I would have liked to have seen some night gaming room setup as there was down days due to cyclone. Especially as there is no TV. Maybe even a rotation of dinner menu options, especially if your stay is longer than 3 days. But beautiful views and amazing waters and reef to snorkel. If you enjoy the sun and water, it's perfect.

We loved every minute of our stay at Coco Beach resort. The staff were just beautiful, and we felt very looked after and thoroughly spoilt. The location is just amazing. We loved the snorkeling from the beach each day with an abundance of fish and coral. The pool was sparkling clean. The breakfast was a great way to start the day right at the water's edge and the sunsets at the end of the day were stunning. At night you could hear the waves rolling in.Definitely coming back.

The location is great, too expensive for the room and service, meals most days were missing something due to ingredients not available. Hope its improved with the new manager

Absolutely guttered about our stay here booked what we thought was a family room ,due to delayed flights arrived late at night , tough for the Van driver to find. When we arrived to check in my partners son isn't allowed to stay with us despite there being a single bed in the room , Lucky there is family he could stay with but was so late and far out not much else we could do . The Hotel is only kids 12 (he was 11) and over though I missed it in the small print when booking just saw the family looking room . We were really stuck trying to find somewhere else in the morning we discussed paying for the night we stayed or two and refunding the rest but they said I had to go through expedia for this process ,in took a few hours on iffy internet , expedia were unable to get a clear answer straight away but would get back to us.Had to urgently pick up son and find elsewhere as we couldnt spend our holiday sitting around and needed to confirm a roof over our heads.We located MG Cocomo in town who were lovely.After 2 days we heard from coco beach offering us two nights at one of their other resorts Topicana but we had already settled in unpacked and now paid for our second lot of accommodation We guttered they couldn't have offered that sooner because packing up and tavelling again in the heat only to loss money again, just wasn't a solution , it was exhausting and were on holiday. Expedia got back to say the refund was declined inhuman, gutting.we had to restrict the rest of trip.

Staff were awesome. Beautiful people. We had to ask for sheets to be changed on our first night as they were dirty. Menu very limited and overpriced for what it was. Ended up eating elsewhere for most of our stay. Certainly didnt deserve the 4 star rating

Coco Beach Resort is a little bit of paradise with its clean beach, clear water, spectacular sunsets and lovely staff. The downside was cleaniness of our accommodation. The day beds bedding was dirty and torn, the fridge was disgusting and obviously hadnt been cleaned for awhile and unfortunately the food was very average with a limited menu. The owners need to spend some money on the property with some upgrades and staff training.
