Cofresi Palm Beach & Spa Resort

If you are looking for an amazing beach, this isnt the right resort for you. However, if you are looking for an amazing resort with great dining, pools and bars then this resort is perfect for you! My boyfriend and I got upgraded to a suite once we arrived which was absolutely gorgeous! The service was very good, the workers work really hard ( they expect a tip but in my opinion they deserve it). When we booked we werent aware that we would have access to the VIP beach which I HIGHLY recommend!!! Cabanas, waiters, jacuzzis (with cold water) , sushi bar, snack bar and even free wifi!! also the drinks there were AMAZING!! made with real coconut cream and everything!! Would also recommend being there for the party on the thursday at ocean world! We loved our stay at cofresi! overall it was a great vacation from start to finish! Thank you!!

i never wrote a review but i have to on resort because i read the reviews and said to my self it cant be that bad.we are a family of 5 my kids are in there 20's , the first day we got there the front desk said there doing me a favor by giving me a great room well that room had a view of the neighbors dirty pool and a dog that would bark all night. well thank god my is handy because one of the rooms toilet didn't flush, the door was broken, and the air condition was broken . the food was gross it was all frozen food you get at BJ'S. they also give you a tour but with a catch you have to purchase a grand VIP its like a timeshare thing with out a discount.i wanted to book some excursions but it was like i was bothering them because they would not even look up from there phone, So i went to the next resort called Tropical they help me with the excursions. the only positive thing in the resort was the pool's.Please stay away from Cofresi Palm Beach & Spa Resort they are just plain LAZY.

This resort was really impressive and large. I think one thing that I did not realize was how much walking around you do while you are there. Sure you can take the shuttle that drops you off from one place to the next but I prefer to walk and take in the grounds/scenery (which were taken care of nicely). One thing to note about this resort is that your experience is based on what color wrist band you have. They have different levels of experiences based on how VIP you are. What I mean by this is if you paid for the cheapest package/room, expect to not have entry to many of the beaches that have cabanas, bars, restaurants, etc. What we had was special guest VIP which got us entry to one of the beaches that had cabana side service of food and drink (delicious!!) as well as a good amount of restaurants etc. We werent actuall members of the resort, but if you were it would open up several other nicer beaches with cabanas, a really nice pool area with a banging club attached, etc etc. If you are unsure of what you have privilege to, ask the front desk before booking so you have a solid idea of what you can and cant have. This didnt deter us that much, as the special guest level of VIP still made us feel like royalty, we just had to avoid hearing the awesome party going on at the Members pool area. The food was I think our biggest shock. Everything was delicious and tasted fresh. The restaurants were all fantastic, with the Brazilian restaurant being our favorite by far. The drinks were meh at the joe shmoe bars, but if you have access to any of the VIP bars then that is where you can get a REAL drink(banana mamas were really good). The beach was clean and the water was warm and felt amazing! There are some vendors on the beach but a quick no thank you sends them away, and while you are on the resort property they cant go in. The pools were good although one of the cooler looking swim up bar in a cave was closed which was a bummer. These pools can get really full on the weekends so keep that in mind. All in all we are definitely going to come here again. What we will do is find someone who is an actual member and use their member access for some of the cooler pools/bars/perks. That being said, the VIP package we got off of Cheap Caribbean was still worth it!

The resort itself on paper provides so many amenities but that’s if and only if you sign up for the VIP membership that they try to push you to buy. Warning you will have to sit through a presentation and a tour of all the VIP amenities that lasted four hours of your day. At the end you have them push you and push you to try to buy their membership and literally don’t let you leave. I being pregnant had to use that to walk away. Yes it is beautiful but I am not spending 20k to access these amenities that other resorts include in your package. As a non VIP member you have access to only one beach and three pools which 2 out of the 3 are always filled with kids and parents that don’t care if their kid is bumping into you every two minutes. The beach access that you are allowed to go to isn’t that big and the chairs or beds are far from the water itself. There is a lot of walking to do in this resort so being pregnant was rough but there are shuttles which helped. The food the worst really and like I said no VIP you only have a handful to go to. We only had access to two locations for all meals and if you want to make a reservation for dinner do it early they book fast. We really wanted the rodizio but it was all booked and only opened on weekends. We had Mexican which was ok . In the two we had access to eat for breakfast and lunch had very limited selections. They didn’t offer variety at all you got bored after two days. If you do go I do suggest the going to Casa Blanca out of the two buffets that one offered more selection. The patio was the worse. It wasn’t the greatest vacation. I would not recommend it I have been to many other resorts and this one has been the worse. The people also aren’t too friendly or helpful unless you have the vip band
