Welcome to paradise is the slogan you are told, when you arrive at Virgin Cocoa Island.
After a 14-day stay, we can only confirm this! Virgin Cocoa is a piece of paradise, with the staff doing everything they can to keep it that way for you.
Lodging:
We stayed in a beach bungalow. This bungalow is equipped with every comfort. What we really appreciated: the bungalow is on the water (you can walk straight into the water), the room is very comfortable, the bathroom is lovely!
For a remote destination, it is not always easy to have all the comforts, but here it is all there! Luxury !
Food:
The kitchen staff really provides delicious food. You get beautiful dishes prepared and presented on your plate. The cuisine is varied and there is something for everyone (spicy, not spicy). Here and there we were served real gems.
The service +1 is also present here : if you want something special you get it. At times I could not choose, but Rica (waitress) and Halima (chef) quickly solved that: then we just give you combinations so you can taste more! Delicious!
Location:
This island is remote, 3h by speedboat. The ride is quite tough, but no pain no gain!
Once you arrive you really are in paradise. 14 days of pure tranquility, no noise outside some murmur of the sea, wind, birds ... wonderful !
Diving:
The diving here is wonderful. The house reef dives are beautiful here : untouched coral, diverse coral life ! With the dive center you can also do excursions to the other sites at extra cost (Kakaban, North atoll, ...). We have done all excursions and this was just a must ! Do it!
During the dives we were accompanied by Alfi - super guy !
Service:
The resort there is "run" by Yvonne. This pleasant & fun Swiss lady comes from the better hotel life and it shows. The resort pays attention to detail and that is what distinguishes this resort from the rest: this is class.
A BIG THANKS to Yvonne, Alfi, Linda (housekeeping), Rica, Halima & kitchen staff, Nandi & captain (boat staff) for giving us a super vacation!
