I visitied this hotel purely to relax and chill out.
I checked trip advisor to see other peoples views on this hotel, and boy were they wrong.
The quality of the food is terrible. It was constantly over cooked, cold or just inedible. We requested wine from the wine list only to be told there was no wine available, only the house wine. The nearest town is St Johns which is a 10 minute taxi ride at the cost of $40 return journey, so not only had we paid for our meals on an all inclisive basis, but we were spending extra for taxis and meals.
There were no snacks available during the day, afternoon tea was some cake left on the bar. Breakfast was fine, you can't go wrong with eggs & bacon! Lunch was passable.
The main reason I picked this hotel was because of the good food reputation.
We were not surpised to discover that the chef was not trained.

Entertainment is non existant. The managers cocktail party was cancelled at short notice. Maybe he was too afraid to face his angry residents.

The rooms were very basic, no atmosphere. The air conditioning units were very noisy, and if you switched it off you could still hear the unit in the next room.

The staff at the hotel are the best. Friendly, helpful and attentive.

The age group for this hotel is definitley over 55, although there were 8 of us who didn't fall into that catergory.
Be sure to bring your insect repellant as there are thousands of mosquitos, and I mean THOUSANDS. We used plug ins in our room, insect repellant and a great clicker deice for bites which I purchased from Boots.

Although my comments are not good, we decided to make the best of things and made some really good friends and had a really good time.

The Commisioners Grill and The Big Banana in St Johns are really good places to eat, and also The Big Banana in Dickensons Bay.

Coconut Beach Club is on a beautiful beach with plenty of space for all residents and a place to go to for total relaxation.

I will visit this hotel again if the food has improved.

this hotel was every thing we wanted, peacefull, attentive staff, food was very varied, staff at bar are wonderfull, espiecally zuada, she wouldn't keep you waiting and after just a couple of visites to the bar she would instantly have your drink waiting for you and on many a night i don't remember returning to our room, her cocktail list is amazing, rooms are very clean and large our balcony had a hamock which was nice to lie in on a hot afternoon and lovely views of the beach, birds and gheckos would visit our balcony we would leave bits of fruit out for them, and just sit and watch them, we want to go back to coconut beach hopefully in november, we are hopeing to take friends with us

We have returned from the Coconut Beach club last week after a 10 day honeymoon there, and can honestly say we couldnt fault the place. On arrival we were shown to the bar, to be served with lovely rum punch unitl the manger showed us to our rooms, where our bags were already waiting for us. We had a Duluxe Suite, which was spacious, clean and stocked with a good "mini" bar, although mini was not the word! Full size bottle of vodka, bottle of champaign, several beers and a bottle of rum. Our room opened up onto two patio's, one with a hamock, and the other with two charis. The beach we within a 2 second walk of the patio. And it was beautiful! Soft white sand, calm blue sea, and pretty much empty the whole time.
The food during our stay was fantastic, and the service was exceptional. Sometimes things would be a bit slow, but hey, your in the Caribbean! CHILL! The evening meals were exceptional, with a good selection from a different menu every day. Made a change from the usual buffet style food most all inclusive's offer.
We did two trips while we were there, the 4x4 trip off roading round the island, which was brilliant and i would recommend to anyone who goes there. We also did the boat trip round the whole island, which too was fantastic.
All in all we had a fantastic stay, and met some fab people, and i would go back in the blink of an eye.

Just returned from a two week stay at the Coconut Beach Club, travelling with my husband and my parents.
On arrival we were welcomed by a friendly receptionist and on being given our keys were shown to each of our rooms(Junior Suites).I had requested via email that out rooms were next to each other however they were at opposite ends of the hotel complex.We took our own bags to our rooms but as ladies we were helped by a member of staff to carry bags to our second floor rooms.
Rooms clean but in need of updating especially the bathroom.Air con did not work for first few days and had to request it to be fixed on two occasions.
Junior suites were previoulsy self catering units and had a kitchen are with appliances which if removed would make a large dressing/wardrobe area which we found was slightly poor.
Food served we found breakfast good, lunch good, dinner good ( my father found a bit limited as he doesnt eat fish or pasta).
Unfortunatley the service at dinner was up and down-Some nights we had good service, some nights we had terrible service!.We felt compelled to make a complaint via reception to make this point which is something we have never had to do before and is not what you want to be doing on your holidays.
We as a group of four were given the same table on the decked area near the pool as the restaurant only seemed to cater for tables of two, and were constantly overlooked by staff .My husband even had to go to the bar to get me some water on occasions however other tables glasses were filled without a problem.On another occasion , again seated outsdie the main restaurant we were each served a glass on wine with dinner but when the bottle ran out just a being poured into my husbands glass, the waitress just chose not to bother returning to complete the filling of his glass.This we found inexcusable as every guest had paid an all inclusive cost and we were being treated poorly in comparison.We were not the only party to make a complaint regarding the service and there were also complaints regarding the food from other parties during our stay.The evening following our complaint however we had two tables together inside the restaurant and the service was great! However on our last night we were sat on the outside table once again and had awful service but just could not be bothered to say anything else as we were leaving the next day.
Overall most of the staff were nice, we had a good holiday which was mainy due to the fantastic weather and lovely island of Antigua.We have travelled to many carribean islands over the last few years and really loved this one.We would definatley return to Antigua but not to this hotel which is a shame as it is in a lovely spot and with a little tweaking could be a great hotel.
