The whole experience was amazing from the food, friendly and professional staff and our beach front villa with our own pool was a highlight. Big shout out to our friendly taxi driver Mr Yusop who took us everywhere and was just lovely.

Perhaps, take all the reviews with a pinch of salt. The location is amazing, staff is very welcoming and overall cleanliness across all amenities is splendid. Don't follow the negative reviews blindly. One thing that did occur was that there are renovations going, but we were advised in advance of our travel. Our decision to pick this hotel for a corporate offsite was the quality of the provided services. Food deserves an additional honourable mention as it was amazing. Not only we had amazing selection but also all our food was close to the A la carte quality. If you are thinking to organise the offsite, for sure do it at the Coconut Island. The island isn't big enough but cosy for a small team. The staff is helpful and the Sales team were so innovative. We felt looked after for the duration of the whole trip. Thank you Coconut Island for unforgettable offsite and hope to see you all again very soon! Read less
