Coco Reef Bermuda

Coco Reef was in a great location, the South shores of Bermuda- pretty close to the most famous, gorgeous beaches Bermuda has to offer- Horseshoe, Jobsons Cove, Elbow, etc. Its beach was spectacular. The lobby and restaurant were beautiful, although the menu was pretty limited. The rooms on the other hand weren't the greatest. They were a bit dated and had a major ant problem. It's best selling point is location- smack dab on the south shore, a 5 minute cab to Hamilton, 25 minutes to St. George and the airport and 30 to the Dockyard. The beach in front of the hotel was also spectacular. I would probably stay there again if the ant problem was eradicated.

We knew we had a good deal for the flight + hotel package but only upon arrival did we realized what a GREAT deal it was. Bermuda is rather expensive - they finance their government by sales tax (no income tax). By Bermudian standards our 7 night stay with the flight from Atlanta ($3000 for 2) was nothing. We ended up in a great hotel on the best beach on the island. The water was clear, the fish was huge (snorkeling right off the shore) and the beach was uncrowded. But the best thing about the island are the people. The most polite and pleasant group we've seen anywhere in the world. The great Mark Twain said "You can go to heaven if you want. I'd rather stay in Bermuda." We endorse that.

We spent our honeymoon on the coco reef resort and it was awesome. The view from your room was breath taking. The room we stayed in was small but very cozy with our own private patio to sit and watch the sunrise in the morning while sipping on our coffee. The whole staff was a joy to deal with. everyone was super nice and caring to me and my new wife. the only thing we really didn't like about the whole place is the lack of food options. the only dining there was a gourmet five star resturant. don't get me wrong the dinner was to die for but if we ate there every night we would go broke in a few days. Also coco reef we have found out is for more of an older crowd but being next to elbow beech it really didn't matter to us. we loved the quiet private beech, the gorgeous beech view, and the friendly staff. We are alreay planning on coming back real soon.

We just returned from our weekend getaway to Bermuda/Coco Reef. After reading all the negative reviews, we had to tell you about our experience. We have traveled to many beach destinations, but this is by far one of the best places we have ever visited. We were blown away by the pleasant temperment of the staff (especially Steve!!) and their willingness to make our stay enjoyable. Our room was great, not the fanciest for sure but clean and had an ac that was freezing cold which was great because it was so hot outside! There could not be a better view in Bermuda. We had a ground floor beachfront room that looked out over the pink sand beach and the surf splashing up on the rocks. All we could hear was the sound of the waves. As this is a small property, there was plenty of space on the beach and we never felt crowded. We found the crowd down the beach at Elbow Beach resort. Wall to wall beach umbrellas...not at all what we like in a beach vacation. The food in the restaurant was surprisingly good. We ate dinner there 2 nights. We ventured into town to the Lobster Pot which was waste of time and money. Elbow Beach Resort had nice lunch options. We loved Bermuda and the fact that we felt safe and welcome. Everyone we met was nice and pleasant and seemed genuinely happy. No begging or feeling targeted like we've experienced in other destinations. The cab drivers were the nicest we have ever encountered and eager to talk about how much they loved Bermuda. We will definitely be back and will most definitely return to Coco Reef!!
