“10/10 def recommend. Was seated and served quickly. Ms Adele was my server. She did an amazing job! 🥰. I received bread prior to my food. I'm ordered cheese slice and cannoli. My food came in good time and tasted amazing. Price was good for what I received. She checked on me frequently and it was a time killer while waiting to check into my hotel. Would def come back.“

“We visited for a bachelorette party and had such a lovely experience. Our waitress/bartender/chef was absolutely amazing. she was truly doing it all by herself, and she still made us feel so comfortable and welcomed, like we were walking into a friend’s house for a cozy night in.

Everything did come out at a slower pace, but we completely understood because she was the only one handling everything. Honestly, it made me sad to hear that some people aren’t always understanding of that, because she was working so hard and still gave us such a warm, friendly experience.

The flatbreads were phenomenal, the cheese board was good, the bread was a table favorite, and the wines were pretty good too. The atmosphere was cozy, lovely, and relaxed perfect for a group that wanted to enjoy each other’s company.

Definitely give this place a try, especially if you have patience and appreciate good food, good wine, and hardworking staff. The sweet waitress with the brown hair was wonderful, and I wish I had gotten her name because she deserves all the praise. She made our night feel special. Full five stars from us!“

“Just came back from a week there, weather was perfect, beach was perfect, rooms were clean, cold ac, wonderful!!!“

“My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights. It was a great experience. Everyone was super friendly. The food was great. It was our honeymoon and the staff definitely checked in a few times, which we appreciate. We were running late on our check in day and they Called us to check in on us. We loved the room. They gave us the second best available room. They have chairs on the beach for rental. The pool is heated. We had the opportunity to sit at the bar with the owners. We would love to book again when we’re back!“

“This was my first time here the Nutella Coffee and pastries were very delicious....the staff was very courteous , polite, and friendly...see you all next time when I visit the Island...“

“We’re visiting here, and found the best place to have a coffee!!!“

“My mom, daughter and I drove around for a while because most restaurants were packed. Then we drove by this place and saw it wasn't and decided to try it out. It was so good!!! We both got the mexican plate (taco and enchiladas) and daughter got queso and chips (she's picky). All of it was really good. The host and the waiter were cool. I would definitely come back for food and service!“

“Nothing like picking out your fresh fish sitting right there in front of you!“

“We absolutely loved the chips and salsa!!! We’ve tried a lot but these were different and delicious. I ordered the bean soup with beef. It was one of the best things I ate on the island. It was loaded and creamy and the chips went great with it.“

“Great food. Great service. Fun place!“

“Had a relaxing time at the Coco Beach Hotel. Attentive staff and a great manger. The hotel is a must stay if you are looking for a family friendly hotel with direct beach access. The view from the bar during sunrise and sunset cannot be beat. Highly recommend.“

“honestly one of the best environments i’ve ever been in, the owner is so friendly with everyone who comes in and makes jokes with every person. the food is a 10000/10 and it’s so close to the beach!!“

“Came here on a Wednesday night, heard great things about this place. Idk if I missed something but it just was not it. The food was fine, bummed that this seems like a place to bring kiddos to have fun right on the beach but the kids menu needs a major upgrade if “family friendly” is what people are gonna be expecting. The convenience of the beach was nice and the open space and seating was also a big plus. There’s a big pier being built, beach volleyball, a cool sand castle. The food is just not what I was thinking after a long day looking forward to this place. I’m not sure Id come here again on a family vacation. Maybe on a couples vacation on an event night.“

“Perfect resort dining experience, we had a very nice late dinner and everything was top notch. The entree was a surprising Ceasar salad with shrimp, then we topped it off with the signature desert. Shawn our waitress was excellent, tons of local knowledge and experience.“

“We spent our 4 th of July here. We were the only ones in the place everyone was across the street .. You missed out great food and service .. Spectacular view of the fireworks .. Most definitely come back thanks Kraken !!“

“Food was delicious. Ordered the Bistec Ranchero en salsa and it was very good. Flour Tortillas are made by hand and one is the size of 3. They serve a sopa de fideo as a starter. Agua Frescas are served in a small pitcher. Very flavorful. Do recommend. Just to server.. she was kind but please dont press the tip button percentage before we even have a chance to put our own. We gave deserved tip but that action itself was questionable.“
