Cocos Hotel Antigua

What Makes Us Unique?
Location
Perched on a lush green hillside, COCOS Hotel is a collection of Private Cottages encircled by miles of blue sea and sandwiched between two coral beaches on the south western coast of the Island of Antigua. Our location allows you to enjoy awesome sea views from almost any vantage point and you get calm, crystal-clear waters for swimming all day. Each evening you are also treated to some of the most spectacular sunsets that you will ever witness anywhere.
Different Accommodation Style
Our distinctive style of accommodation is probably the biggest differentiator when compared to a conventional Caribbean Resort.
Instead of large concrete room blocks we offer private, stand-alone cottages all constructed entirely of wood, wattle and other indigenous materials. The only corridors here are outdoor pathways that take you through rich, colorful gardens and to the beaches. Your balcony includes a traditional West Indian hammock, comfy deck chairs and even a private pool with loungers and shade depending on the room category you book. You can choose to have your room air-conditioned or opt for natural air cooling by opening your windows and French doors. All your in-room décor is natural and fresh, from the hand-crafted wooden furniture to the live floral arrangements that are replenished each day. And best of all you get to shower outdoors amongst a collection of tropical plants with a wonderful ocean view.
Why This Accommodation Style?
Owner & Designer, Andrew Michelin, grew up in the colonial Caribbean where he fell in love, not only with the natural beauty of the Islands, but also with the way in which the people here lived. Your typical village in those days was located at the seaside and was a collection of quaint cottages set amongst beautiful vegetable gardens and greenery. It was a simple and humble existence, yet persons were very happy, very healthy and lived together with a oneness that you don’t always find today.
Andrew, in essence, romanticized the Caribbean as he knew it back then. And he designed the Resort as a means of re-creating that environment and inviting our guests to experience what it was like. In other words, when you come to COCOS it’s not only to enjoy the Sun, the fabulous Beaches, the excellent food and drink and the warm hospitality of our staff, but it’s also to experience a historical Caribbean lifestyle that was simpler, greener, less distracting and much more satisfying.
