From the moment we arrived we were treated amazingly! A glass of Prosecco and luggage carried to our rooms. We had organised the celebration package of balloons and wine and this was stunning! See pics! We cannot stress enough how wonderful ALL the staff are at this gorgeous hotel! And the food! Nothing was ever a problem! The beach right outside the hotel is beautiful and we found a nice little shopping centre just twenty minutes along the boardwalk. We will be back! Lots of love to all the staff at The Soco for making our stay extra special for a 60th birthday! X Read less

Arrived on 10th June 25. Great reception staff. Rooms good slightly outdated but kept clean and tidy. Hot water not always available at nighttime. Restaurant staff Great. Meals cooked to your choice and menu changes every 2 days. Toby likes to be pampered. Bar staff Great especially Shane who went above and beyond. Sunbeds available all the time pool small but never crowded. Sunbeds available on beach which is at rear of hotel and accessible by few steps. The only drawback is it doesn't have a lift so not recommended for less mobile people. Shops within walking distance. No cash on site so take enough with you. All in all very pleased with the stay and would recommend this hotel. Read less

Everything you need. The rooms where clean and the beds very comfortable (made us realise how uncomfortable our bed was) perfect location for exploring. The food wasn't bad always filling. Thank you to Michelle for the one on one mini rum tasting as we missed her Wednesday one. All the staff were pleasant. Shane, Zachary and Michelle are a blessing for the hotel and a stand out! And Toby of course little character! Beach area was small but sweet, plenty of colourful fish out by the to rocks to spot. Carlisle bay is about a 8 min taxi from the hotel if you want soft sand and blue calm waters. Read less
