Gate Park Holidays

We arrived Christmas Day, and booked only a few days prior to our vacation. I read many reviews beforehand, and have to admit that nearly all of them came to fruition. However, we paid only a fraction of the cost of many of the surrounding resorts. We couldn’t believe how beautiful and serene the location was. Everyone was very nice - I truly think they are all doing their best. You need to go here with realistic Expectations - if you’re looking for 5 star, book a 5 star. But if you’re looking for a tranquil, quiet, slow-paced getaway where you get to experience a bit of the culture, this is an awesome vacation. Be kind to the workers.. everyone was always apologizing to us when we hadn’t even complained...it’s clear that there are many complaints. It’s a beautiful place with wonderful people and we had nothing but positive interactions. We loved taking the ferry over to the other restaurants in the bay, especially Chateau Mygo where there was great service! The private resort beach, while small, was peaceful and no one bothers you there. There is a small shop near hurricane hole where you can pick up beer or wine or snacks to have in your room, other markets are a drive away. Catamaran tours can be arranged to pick you up and drop you off in the marina - front desk was very accommodating with making plans for us. I suggest bringing EC currency - USD is accepted but most prices are in EC and would make it easier. Overall a wonderful trip, we definitely want to come back!

Coco Palm Hotel is in a very good position in Rodney Bay, close to beautiful Reduit Beach, shops and restaurants. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is good with eggs cooked to order. The swimming pool is large and sunny all day long. Highly recommended.

The property itself was absolutely beautiful and the included breakfasts were exceptional. The service was very spotty, with little attention to detail and very long wait times for drinks and dining. This was unexpected given the intimate nature of the resort with fewer guest rooms. The excursions booked through the hotel were pricey and there was no explanation regarding what to expect, resulting in unnecessary costs at the venue such as backpack rental and other expenses that could have been avoided. Transportation to/from the hotel also exorbitant. This is not unique to the property, but all dining throughout the island was quite expensive and typically underwhelming. The costs also did not translate into a working wage for the employees/island residents. This led to a very uncomfortable relationship between tourists and locals.

We loved our stay and would definitely return in the future. The staff is amazing, the rooms are spacious with nice views from balcony. The pictures of pool didn't look that impressive so I was surprised to see a great size pool and pool bar. The only negative is that dining tends to be on slower side. But once you have right mindset and know it will be bit longer than home the experience is enjoyable.

Construction next door was an inconvenience . I couldn’t enjoy my porch
