Please don’t book this hotel. Food average at best. All inclusive is for buffet only (not a la restaurant) and 50% of drinks are not included. I left my special watch in safe when leaving. Messaged them 1 hour later asking they collect it from room. They ignored my request and after other requests finally said they’d been to room and it had gone.… Read more

We spent a day on the Ile des Deux Cocos and it was literally AWESOME, real VIP treatment. I would recommend spending some times there to all the visitors and book the Villa (see photo) at least for a few nights. Food was great at the buffet area and exquisite at the Playa restaurant on the beach. TOP Read less

Stayed April 3–4, 2025, for our daughter’s birthday and had an amazing time. Great value for money—spacious ocean-view room, relaxing spa, and warm, attentive service. Special thanks to Mr. Nursoo. the F&B manager, for the personal touches that made the celebration unforgettable. Highly recommended for a memorable, affordable getaway!
