Coconut Beach Club – Yepton Beach – Antigua – Caribbean

I visitied this hotel purely to relax & chill out. I checked trip advisor to see other peoples views on this hotel, & boy were they wrong.
The quality of the food is terrible. It was constantly over-cooked, cold or just inedible. We requested wine from the wine list only to be told there was no wine available, only the house wine. The nearest town is St Johns which is a 10 minute taxi ride at the cost of $40 return journey, so not only had we paid for our meals on an all inclisive basis, but we were spending extra for taxis & meals.

There were no snacks available during the day, afternoon tea was some cake left on the bar. Breakfast was fine, you can’t go wrong with eggs & bacon! Lunch was passable. The main reason I picked this hotel was because of the good food reputation but we were not surpised to discover that the chef was not trained.

Entertainment is non existant. The managers cocktail party was cancelled at short notice. Maybe he was too afraid to face his angry residents.

The rooms were very basic, no atmosphere. The air conditioning units were very noisy, & if you switched it off you could still hear the unit in the next room.

The staff at the hotel are however the best. Friendly, helpful & attentive. The age group for this hotel is definitley over 55, although there were 8 of us who didn’t fall into that catergory.

Be sure to bring your insect repellant as there are thousands of mosquitos, & I mean thousands. We used plug-ins in our room, insect repellant & a great clicker device for bites which I purchased from Boots.

Although my comments are not good, we decided to make the best of things & made some really good friends & had a really good time.  The Commisioners grill & the Big Banana in St Johns are really good places to eat, as is the Big Banana in Dickensons Bay.  Coconut Beach Club is on a beautiful beach with plenty of space for all residents & a place to go to for total relaxation.

I would visit this hotel again but only if the food has improved.
