We have been looking at the web site for coco palms garden studios and would like to know if anyone has stayed here. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

We stayed in Casa Oleander #3 (Lora) over the New Year. It's a very private, lovely and peaceful place, the apartments are beautiful and well appointed and it's excellent value for the money. Try to allow for some time to enjoy the hammocks! There is a new garden area with pool, restaurant and bar for guests only - it reminded us of some of the lovelier interior gardens we've seen in Guatemala and Mexico. As another couple also staying there commented, usually you see photos of a place on the internet and it's not anything like that when you get there. In this case it really is as pretty as the photos would have you believe - if not better. Bachelor Beach - gorgeous for a sunset swim - is a minute away. We purchased a dive package and dove with Photo Tour divers - we were very happy with them. They're a five minute drive from Casa Oleander and Coco palm. They also run the dive bus that parks at a different site each day. You can store valuables in the bus, have a cold drink and eat ice-cream post-dive. Although our vacation was too short, the folks at Oleander/Coco Palm made it very special. We're glad we stayed there, especially after seeing some of the other places we considered.

I live in the neighborhood of Coco Palm and also have visited friends staying there. I would suggest you take a look at the guest book on their web site for some objective comments.

I compliance with full disclosure, I must say that I own Nos Kas, and the lovely people at Coco Palm Garden manage it for me. Theu run a great operation. The gardens are beautiful, and the rooms at Coco Palm Garden and Casa Oleander are clean, colorful, and well-appointed. The pool and surrounding dining/bar area are a terrific addition to their property. Nos Kas is a 2BR house next door. We've taken pains to furnish, stock, and appoint the house with nice things and cool stuff so it's not a generic rental. Check out the website! It's a good value too, and Belnem is a great neighborhood. www.cocopalmgarden.com

We have stayed at Coco Plam gardens twice in the last year and will go again sometime this year.
I agree with the others its great value for money, peaceful, and the owners are some of the most helpful people on the island.
We have had appartments # 1 and #3 in the past, I we enjoyed them both.

Dont waste your money on the hotels.

I think there guest book says it all.
