Being our 4th visit to Coconut Island, I can’t recommend this resort highly enough. From the minute you arrive, you are made the feel welcome. The service is exceptional and I strongly suggest getting the all inclusive package. The food and beverages were phenomenal.

Reception process was perfect (and included refreshments, cool cloths and a buggy ride to our room). The all inclusive was well it worth it and being able to enjoy authentic Thai food onsite was extra special! The excursions were easy to book and we felt taken care from beginning to end. The facilities were amazing and would have also served the purpose of a family vacation. Very kid friendly with lots for them to do but also offers adult only selections. Recommendations from the staff regarding things to do were great! The check process was also easy and accommodating. Would definitely recommend this for any type of vacation… friend trip, couples trip or family trip!!! Read less

Wow, where to start with this resort!? We were absolutely blown away by Barceló Coconut Island. Firstly, the highlight is definitely the staff! Every single person we would encounter would greet us, and made us feel welcome. As well as being friendly, everyone was equally as efficient. The resort was hit by a severe storm on our second night, and the island lost all power (and subsequently, running water)… however, the staff handled this very well, and the next morning, the breakfast buffet was still available!? The resort itself is a paradise. Lush green gardens surround every pathway, the beach is lovely and clean, and the various pools are very inviting (especially the “adults only” pool in the evening. The Pina coladas at Laku are a MUST)! Everything right down to the selection of music in different areas had been careful considered. The food is delicious. The breakfast buffet has more options than anyone could ever need, and we also enjoyed pizza and pasta! We’d like to thank all the staff at barcelo Coconut Island for making our stay there so wonderful, with special mentions to Ted (has got some great stories), Kim from Laku, and our biggest and most gracious “thank you” to Na from Kabang, who always seemed to look after us, even when we weren’t eating! Thank you Na, and entire team. We hope to come back soon :) Read less
