An amazing getaway! The overwater bungalow was clean and spacious. Bring or buy water shoes as it's a bit rocky behind the rooms, but it's soft sand on the majority of the island. We had a half board package which provided breakfast and dinner. The food was great and the dinner menu changed daily. I suggest getting a meal package, as a la carte food and drinks were expensive. All of the staff were super friendly and accommodating. Wisam, the director checked in regularly to make sure our stay was comfortable. Nok, the yoga instructor was amazing, as was Kiah who taught me how to paddle board, and Sharky who led a guided snorkeling tour even though my mom and I were not great swimmers. Christian and team would also bring water to us on the beach so we wouldn't dehydrate, and Muru and the restaurant team were very kind. Overall a luxury experience, family friendly, and perfect for a relaxing vacation.

Surreal
My wife and I are stunned after our honeymoon at Como Cocoa Island - the best holiday either of us has ever had. It's tough to describe the experience beyond saying that it's somehow exactly the right balance - simple but luxurious, comfortable but exotic, private but social (if you want it to be), relaxing but stimulating, and all in the most idyllic setting imaginable. With so few rooms, you often feel like you have the 350m island and its sandbar all to yourself (whether lazing, strolling, snacking, snorkelling, or exercising). The Dhoni loft villa was stunning, spacious, well-equipped; the food varied and excellent; the beaches and reefs breathtaking. It takes quite an operation to craft this outwardly seamless experience; the staff are all wonderful and make it pleasant from the moment you land until the moment you reluctantly enter security for your return flight. Thanks esp. to Nawal for looking after our room, Mode, Zayan, and Kai for the epic onsite snorkelling/scuba, Nok for the yoga/meditation, and Wasim, Christian, Muru, Sithin, Fang, and Faisal for the restaurant/bar experience. We hope to be back soon (and noticed that many guests are long-time repeat visitors).

Perfect is the only word to describe. The staff, the marine life, the environment, the room, we totally had a great stay. Manage to celebrate Christmas Eve here and it's such a special experience to celebrate Christmas on the beach. A lot of festive program to join throughout my stay. You get even more than what you expect, the staff here were so friendly till make us feels like home. They planned everything so well from arrival at Male Airport till we depart at the boarding hall. There's even a suprise christmas box for us under the christmas tree in our room. The island is not crowded and there's no noisy music in the bar, so we enjoy the peaceful environment everyday. The room service is superbly efficient too. Overall, best of the best and will definitely visit here again.

We spent a week and felt like we had our own private island the entire time. The staff were incredibly attentive and efficient. The villas over the water were large with a full and a half bath, a large bedroom with a king sized bed and a large living room. The snorkeling is outstanding just off the back porches and the scuba diving 5- 15 minute boat rides from the island was some of the best I have experienced anywhere in the world. It felt like we were dropped in an aquarium because of the density of fish and animal life. We saw reef sharks, octopuses, turtles, spinner dolphins, pilot whales, manta rays, squid, and skates. The food was outstanding with many excellent choices with the half board plan. There is a hydrotherapy pool to sooth sore muscles and an excellent gym and spa. Free yoga was an added bonus. The white sand beaches and the rooms were made pristine daily by the numerous staff. Having travelled much of the world, this was the most beautiful and restful place I have ever been.

Como Cocoa ticked all our boxes.
I would describe this as a house boat pitched on a mini great barrier reef - with your own private sea view. Our turtle snorkelling was sensational with the marine team (professionals - free divers / biologist). Im not a confident sea swimmer and I was well cared for and had an anxious free time. We didn't need sun-loungers/pool/beach we had private sun-loungers/deck/ocean/house reef. The snorkelling from your own deck was so enticing - transparent water and plenty of marine life. We use a specific publication that is focussed on inspecting unique, “boutique” centric properites - and this is not defined by price either, it’s more about unique character and offering - a stand out. It felt like we had hired our own private island because of the smart architecture and design - it was “coma”-cocoa chilled luxury.
