We were very disappointed with our stay at Coco Village. Despite being advertised as offering “superior services and features,” the manager told us on arrival that it was “a little better than camping.” Many of the promised amenities were missing: no refrigerator, no wardrobe, no chair for the desk, and the advertised golf course and gym simply weren’t there. WiFi was extremely unstable and nonexistent in public spaces, contrary to what was stated online. To make matters worse, there was ongoing building work on-site that we were not informed about. The property was very tatty and clearly once a fantastic space, with so much potential, but it has clearly fallen into poor maintenance. The garden around the bungalow was unkempt and unloved. The room itself was poorly equipped: only one towel each, no floor mat in the bathroom, and the pillows were heavily stained, revealing a very poor state despite clean pillowcases. The bathroom had a strong, unpleasant smell, and even though it was relatively new, the odor was so bad we couldn’t leave the door open. There was no shower gel in the three empty dispensers, and not even half a roll of toilet paper. The blinds did not go up, which made us feel very trapped, and the door had a dodgy lock that we struggled to open in the morning. The pool area was unclean and unwelcoming, with no sun loungers and dominated by groups of men playing loud music and drinking, which continued until the early hours. We had come to relax in the countryside and enjoy nature, but the atmosphere was almost the complete opposite. While the bar did offer chilled beer, this was one of only two real highlights of our stay—the second being the outstanding local breakfast, prepared by Chef and his team. Sadly, we had to eat breakfast in the bar area, where bottles and cigarette butts from the night before were still present. Other plus points included the small TV, which had a good range of channels and helped drown out the late-night outdoor music, and the modern air conditioning, which worked well. Dining otherwise was frustrating: the menu gave us the impression of many choices, but the two kitchen staff repeatedly informed us that items were unavailable until we finally asked what was actually on offer. Adding to the frustration, we were unable to get a Pick Me (taxi) to our backup hotel as they didn’t operate that far out. We ended up having to take a ride with the manager’s neighbor at a very inflated price. On the positive side, the location is beautiful—set in a lush coconut grove with plenty of wildlife. Sadly, this charm was overshadowed by the resort catering to local men seeking to drink rather than the advertised superior services and features. Overall, Coco Village is a far cry from what is advertised and was very disappointing. However, with some serious investment and attention to detail, this place has so much potential to be incredible.

What a charming little place and amazing value for money. Lovely people and service. However I would have been happy to pay a lot more if we had hot water in the shower and air conditioning which worked. The pool was nice but a few chairs around the pool would have been better. However I repeat for the price it was very very good.

This hotel is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. It has a large well maintained garden. The swimming pool was also very nice. The room was very spacious with a double bed and single bed. There was also AC, TV and small fridge. There is a kettle and tea mugs to make tea/coffee in the room. However, I would recommend you bring your own supplies for it. The bathroom is also spacious. There were some little issues here and there indicating lack of maintenance. However, it was perfectly clean and still functional. The restaurant is outdoor type. Western food is pricey (as in all hotels) but the local food was quite cheap - which was a relief as the hotel is quite far away from town. We enjoyed our stay very much.

We had a nice cottage, the pool, the staff and the food were great. Can recommend it! Also there is the possibility to make nice walks in the neighbourhood. Very quiet and rural. It is a bit apart from the main road

We stayed at Coco Village while visiting the Anawilundawa Bird Sanctuary. The property was well kept and the staff were very friendly and helpful. While it's further from Anawilundawa than some other places, a bonus was the Bombiwila wetland/lake very close by that had much of the same bird life as the sanctuary.
