“Can't rate it too highly”

8/8 found this review helpful

We came to visit family over the Easter school break, for 2 weeks, and ended up getting married! We wanted somewhere local for the honeymoon, as it was only to be for 2 days, and the family recommended Coconut Bay Resort from their own experiences.

Within 30 minutes of booking in we had extended our stay for a further day (would have been more, if we hadn't been due to return to the UK that weekend) and I cannot rate the hotel and it's staff too highly. From the very start the service we received was of the highest standard.

The first evening there was a group with a young female vocalist; her voice was as fresh and clear as a dawn chorus and set the standard for the entertainment throughout our short stay.

The rooms were very clean and the kingsize bed was almost the size of our bedroom, back home! Food was varied, and fresh ingredients used throughout the selection in the main restaurant.

There was an adult-only pool near the Health Spa, and this was an enjoyable experience as we could use it and still be only yards from the sea.

Other reviewers have whined about there being sea-weed (it is the Atlantic.... what do they expect?) but the hotel appeared to have cleared a section of the beach and put rock barriers to shield from the weeds, without looking artificial or invasive to the view from the beach.

Also, I read a comment from someone about there being children; it is a family resort, so there will be children! Choose an adult-only resort (Sandals??) if you don't want to have children around; I am a teacher, so don't always want children around me when I'm on vacation, but there were not hordes and they were not loud or stressful. We even played pool with some of them (and got soundly thrashed!).

Drinks were freely available, and of great strength (I was on the 150% proof rum) but I didn't see any evidence of drunken behaviour. We also enjoyed the company of many of the guests, as they also were friendly and not at all reserved or withdrawn, as you might find at other resorts. Perhaps the overall positive experience of Coconut Bay Resort had an effect on them, as well?

Even though it is within minutes of the airport, it is hardly a major flight path as there are only around 4 planes landing and later taking off..... it's a way to grasp what time it is as they are pretty reliable and you generally are so relaxed that you lose all track of time, otherwise ;-)

St. Lucia is wonderful, the people are wonderful, and Coconut Bay Resort made our stay a memorable one.

For all those who moaned in a petty manner about the planes, the children, the food.......... get a life!!!!!!

The quad bike trip was also great fun, and a unique way to see parts of the island and meet some local people.

One word of warning; we had the couples massage at the Spa. I then plastered on my Factor 50 sun-screen (being a pale-skinned red-head) and sun-bathed after a leisurely swim on the nearby adult pool. What I didn't realise was that the massage oil in my skin would mean I was frying like a side of bacon in the sun! Luckily, I was only in the sun for around 30 minutes, but still got burned. Make sure you wash the oils off before applying sun-screen..... ouch!

We are already making plans for our return, not only to the island but also to the resort. Enough said.......!!

“Just Gets Better and Better!!”

Coconut Bay Resort & Spa

Apr 23, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

Every time that we visit Coconut Bay Resort and Spa our expectations are exceeded!

This was our fifth visit to the resort, to all intents and purposes our second home! We stayed for the first two weeks in April and the weather wasn't at its best for this time of year - quite windy and more than average rainfall. This, however, could do nothing to detract from the beauty of the resort, its cleanliness and the most fantastic, friendly staff ranging from room maids to management.

Each time we have revisited, improvements have been made - a reflection on the change of Genereal Manager. The food is considerably better than in 2005, new chefs and Manager have implemented several improvements probably not noticed by a new guest but significant all the same. The buffet in Coconut Walk is miles ahead of any all inclusive resorts that I have encountered ,with varied theme nights, bbq's and roasted meats. Yes there is a Caribbean emphasis, you are after all in St Lucia!

The grounds, pools and beach are maintained to an exceptionally high standard with the staff taking immense pride in their work.

We as a family, 2 adults and two children - 8 and 3 - plus Mother in Law, have developed some fantastic friendships over the years and it is always a hugh wrench to leave. I give you my personal guarantee that you should enjoy a stay at Coconut Bay, perhaps we may meet you on our return there in August! I can not praise it enough!

Please do contact me - yorke.a@tiscali.co.uk - and I will answer any questions or queries that you may have ahead of visiting Coconut Bay Resort and Spa.

Visit and enjoy!!!

I'll give you the view of my family of four (37, 33, 12 & 4 yrs old).
We just got back from Cancun and had a terrible time, so my wife, found a great deal to CBR through WestJet out of Toronto.

WOW, the resort was amazing, being so large, even at full capacity, it seemed like it was our own personal resort. You will never need to reserve a lounger, or a beach umbrella.
Sure the ocean is rough on the Atlantic side, but the beach is still nice (raked every day with tractor). For a nicer beach you can grab a taxi to the Caribbean side for the day.

Instead of booking day trips, we elected to hire a taxi due to the fact that our daughter gets cranky at times and if we needed to go back to the resort, we could at the drop of a hat.
I'm glad we did, we hired Wayne, who has a Taxi service.
He was fair on his price and gave us a very educated experience, He took us to the Volcano, the Botanical gardens and plenty of towns and great photo opportunities.
It total I think about 5 or 6 hours, he only charged us about $120.00 USD. total, so great we gave him $150.00. He stopped and climbed a tree to pick a coco pod and again to pick cashew pods!
The resort staff itself was nothing short of incredible, Big Ted in the lobby (looks like Shaq) is always ready with a kind word and a smile, bring him M&M's.
Crazy Charlie, wrote a poem and was drawing pictures for the kids.
Dona at the pool bar gave us her great shopping Tips.
Billie selling her goods by the pool was honest with the prices.
The photo staff was professional and were not bothersome.

Each and everyone of the staff would do anything for you, I asked Big Ted for a picture of beer and a bucket of ice, "No Problem he said.
Too much to say about this place, we did alot of research and we were very happy about everything.
YES, THIS IS GEARED MORE FOR FAMILIES, AND FOR THOUSE WHO ENJOY BOTH THE FAMILY AND THE QUIET TIMES' YOU WILL NOT BE UPSET.


Here is his number if you want to work out a deal for tours with Wayne, [--- --- ----].
Cheers.

4/4 found this review helpful

My husband, 20 month old son and in-laws recently stayed at the Coconut Bay Resort & Spa and loved it. The resort has now opened their Coco kidz club up to accept kids under 3, and they were phenomenal with our son. It was great because we were able to have a fun family vacation while still having relaxed adult time.

All of the hotel staff were very good at anticipating our son's needs and we never felt out of place with a busy toddler. The resort was exceptionally clean and the food was great. There were 4 pools to choose from in addition to a spray park for the kids and water slides. The spa was very refreshing and relaxing with the prices ranging from very a reasonable $35 for a facial to a steep $100.00 for a set of nails.

One of the reviews noted that there was a constant breeze at the resort due to it's location on the island. My family was very appreciative of the breeze at it helped to keep the heat and humidity bearable, especially for the smaller tots who don't tolerate the heat as well.

All in all we would return with out a doubt.
