    A delicious breakfast and dinner freshly prepared on the spot from locally grown or fished ingredients different every day.. Private beach access and variety of available excursions exploring surrounding islands and reefs.

    The location was lovely, right on the beach. Bungalows surrounded by native tropical vegetation, great for birds and monkeys. Treehouse had a nice veranda, lovely sit on observing the environment. Owners and staff were friendly and helpful. Kitchen produced fresh organic food, not complex, full of flavour.

    Water was an issue, supply cut out frequently, no hot water available at all.

    I loved the location (at,the ocean and in a quiet area) the facilities (a few 'natural' bungaliws with balconies or terraces in a garden), the delicious food , renewed every day, and above all the highly welcoming and dedicated multicultural team, from the owners, to the restaurant, cleaning, maintenance,, security). They have a very friendly and efficient network for activities (the blue safari with Ally, including a delicious seafood BBQ , is a must).. Furthermore, they are flexible with time.

    Good breakfast every day of fruit, toast, juice, eggs. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The owners assisted a lot with our queries and Zac, the massai waiter was entertaining and informative. The cabins are very basic with cold salt water showers and bushbabies scratching the walls in the evening. The village is within easy walk either across the beach when tide is out or down the muddy lanes. Villagers very friendly. We were able to use the pool in neighbouring bigger hotels when the tide was out gor a small fee.

    Cabins are more remote than expected and roads to the village are not lit sp following dinner you have to amuse yourselves. Village is also remote

    Beautiful location right on the beach

    Streets around the area made it hard to go for a walk , not fault of owners, everyone has to deal with it

    The wooden tents were quite nice although unclean with a beautiful partial view on the sea.

    The staff is very unhelpful, especially the two French hosts that do not have a sense of customer service. The place overall is quite neglected, the wooden cabin unclean, no hot water and the food is bellow average. Overall do not recommend

    Property response:

    We have helped you with the taxi, with restaurants around our place. We asked every day if the leg of your boyfriend was good. You arrived after the breakfast time, and otherwise , you were served. Why did you stay if you didn't like anything? just to complain.. We prepared every evening specially for you hot water. You stayed in the room till 5 pm, for sure my house keeper already left. Your boyfriend was not polite with my staff, specially with my massai. So, the two french managers and staff, advice you to go to 5 stars hotels.

    Close to the beach and very nice breakfast

    We had a bit of a”sand” in our bed because the roof is made with palm trees so we weren’t very happy with the night there but the beach and the breakfast made it better

    Amazing location, far from hustle bustle, private beach in front. No One is h(a)unting you..! Owners and staff are helpful, kind and honest. Resort is natural, nice restaurant as well., we loved Kingfish and fresh Mango juice ! Sandrine manages various trips - coral snorkeling, swimming with turtles, dolphin boat trip, Jozani forest excursion.. Swimming and snorcheling is possible right from beach, but take tide into account, there is helpful chart on web, no problem..

    Such a neat paradise! Coco Reef was a perfect place for the first part of our honeymoon. The whole staff was very friendly, conversational and accommodating. Sandrine even made sure we had breakfast for our airport trip in the morning! The food was delicious at every meal! The lodges were really neat, authentic places to stay and we absolutely loved that we could walk right outside our door to the beach. Great place and great people. Just what we were hoping for!

    Not a problem for us but the lodges don’t have air conditioning so just keep that in mind!

    Everything about this place was wonderful. It felt like a hidden paradise, surrounded by lush greenery, almost like a jungle. The beach was peaceful and serene, with only a few people around, making it the perfect escape. The staff were absolutely amazing—always kind, attentive, and incredibly helpful. When I wasn’t feeling well, they provided medicine, checked in on me, and made sure I was comfortable. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel truly welcome.We had so much fun during our stay. We were eager to see tropical animals, and they helped us spot a bushbaby. Colorful tropical birds fluttered around our bungalow, adding to the magical atmosphere. The food was delicious, and we deeply appreciated both the place and the people. We spent about ten days here for our honeymoon, and it felt like being part of a warm, close-knit community. It was an unforgettable experience, and we would love to return.

    Lovely rustic wooden & palm leaf bungalow overlooking greenery in the garden, the space was huge and we were comfortable and happy in our space. The beach was quiet and peaceful with sun chairs and hammocks, and the sea swimmable at high tide. Despite the name, there is very little reef outside the property, however, you can find some fish and interesting sea creatures snorkeling if you swim out. The staff were friendly and made sure we enjoyed our stay. Some of the local dishes we tried of the menu were very tasty, such as the cassava, coconut and fish pot.

    A minor thing: it would have been nice to have a drinks menu to know what is available. Bring earplugs for sleeping: you can sometimes hear music from other nearby properties at night (of course not the owners fault!).

    Very cool palm huts with bathroom and terrace to enjoy the sea view. Lovely garden, direct access to small but lovely beach all you need for perfect holiday! The staff is very attentive and helpful, the breakfast is delicious but also you can order very tasty local food. Sandrine helped us to organize transfer and to rent scooter. Merci!

    Note that the village suffers some powercuts sometimes but the property have some generator so in case of emergency it was on

    You are surrounded by forestry. The sounds of nature bring calmness to the soul to relax and be at peace.

    It's hard to say what I didn't like but I would have liked for the chicken not to wake me up at 4 in the morning. Taking into consideration it's a chicken. haha.
