coconut beach club

I have read that this is a great place to go?? Can anyone give me info on this resort and if its worth :p the 45.00

Thought I would post this for fellow cruisers, I was at Coconut Beach last week. We were on the Emerald Princess. Arrived in Antigua, negotiated a taxi rate of $24.00 one way for six people in the same van. It took about ten minutes to get to Coconut Beach. When we arrived there were not enough lounge chairs on the beach for all of us. The people who were staying at the resort for several days had already reserved them all. So we spoke with the manager and she brought more loungers out for us. The beach is beautiful, no rocks on the bottom, smooth sandy bottom. Water was warm and refreshing. The beach is in a private cove so no one is walking by that is not a customer of Coconut Beach. There is an infinity pool next to the bar. The lunch was delicious and enjoyed by everyone. Saw many people getting up for seconds. The staff were very friendly. Restrooms were CLEAN! It was a wonderful day. The bar did not have a lot of different types of liquor, just the basics. Beer and rum punch were plentiful. There are no waiters that bring drinks directly to your chair (as at Nachi Cocum in Cozumel), you have to get up and walk to the bar. The cruise port is just around the corner from the beach so you can see other cruise ships coming and going by the beach. The Coconut Beach Resort was high on my list of favorite stops on this cruise, second only to Barbados. For $45.00 you can't go wrong !

Yes! See the review I just posted! We loved Coconut Beach and wish we could have stayed longer. It was a beautiful, relaxing, quiet day. Beach was great, food delicious, no one walking the beach asking for hair braids or massages. Definitely worth the $45 !!

When you get to the taxi stand ask for "Johnny Red Shoes" , he is a great taxi driver. Always wears his red shoes :)

Thanks for the review. We are thinking of going there this year. We went to Nachi Cocum last year and had a great time.

One question, is the beer tap or bottled? I thought I read somewhere about lack of beer, but I am not sure if it is Coconut.

Thanks again, your review has probably swayed us to go there this summer.:D

Can you just go there and buy pass to resort?? Thank you for review we will be going there forsure..

Do you have to make advance reservations to get a lounge, umbrella?

I checked with my husband and he said the only beer available was PITON. It was on tap. It is manufactured in St. Lucia. He said everyone in our group liked it.

We emailed the resort ahead of time and reserved a spot. It is not a big place and certainly not a 5 star resort (no beach toys, etc) but it was a very relaxing day, the place is clean and the staff were friendly. For the person who asked about umbrellas....there were no umbrellas per se......they did have a few of those palm tree branch palapas (?) to sit under but there were not many of them.

Thanks for the review, we are going to be there next month and planning to go here with a group of 8. You mentioned that you had a great day in Barbados, what did you do there? Thanks in advance.

We are sailing on the Emerald in April...so excited!

Have you posted on the other port threads for each of the stops? I'd love to hear what you did at each one.:)

our experience at Coconut Beach in early February sounds very similar to the posters, as we all had a great day. The beach is particularly lovely and nice for walking, and we enjoyed the resort, the lunch and the drinks. It is a very pleasant place and not more than 10-15 minute cab ride from the ship dock, so we had time for souvenir shopping at the end of the day.

They also have free wifi so bring your IPADS and phones;)

Do they have drinks besides rum punch?? Pina Coladas?

Margaritas? Rum and diet coke?? thanks

I am going to go through my photos that I took that day and post some on this thread.

This is exactly what we are looking for could you please share the information with me on how you found the email address to reserve chairs and food reservation for a cruise day? Thank you so much

The e-mail address for Delvanice Williams to make your day pass reservation is: reservations@coconutbeachclub.com

Just give her the date you are arriving and how many. I don't think this will reserve you a chair, just gives her a idea on how many people to expect for the day. She will email you back and tell you to arrive after 10:00. We got there at 10:00 and had our choice of where we wanted to lounge for the day. The beach was not crowed at all for the entire day.

So glad you are doing well and crusing. My husband works at Killingly CT driving a big truck.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos parrotplay. We are thinking of going here next Christmas when we are in port. Can you tell me what kinds of food they offered for lunch, any photos????

Yes, thanks for the pics...looks like a great place, we will be there on the 30th with the Emerald....can't wait!

The food choices change daily, but below is what was served on our day there.

Hamburgers, I think Hot dogs, French Fries, Seafood Linguini, Soup, Fruit Salad, Salad, deserts. I am sure there was a couple other choices, like pototao salad and macaroni salad but I don't remember. My husband had a hamburger and I had the linguini. Our meals were very good. Sorry, I did not take any photos of the buffet.
