Barcelo Coconut Island, Phuket

It was a very secluded and quiet spot. Staff were accommodating to my wife when she requested for a porridge (for me, while I was in bed with food poisoning).

The Village Coconut Island is a tropical paradise on its own island and has everything you need for a relaxing beach and ocean holiday. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, the food was prepared and served at a very high standard and the room was spacious and clean. The spa treatments (massages, pedicure, manicure) were amazing and I could have easily spent more of my time walking around the resort, taking in all of its natural beauty. The excursions offered were well worth their money, we went snorkeling near the Phi Phi Islands and spent time at an elephant sanctuary. There have been very few other places I've been to where I have been taken care of as well as I have been at the Village on Coconut Island. I can't wait to come back for another stay.

Beautiful location with rooms set in beautiful gardens. Breakfast was fabulous. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Couple of minor issues quickly dealt with. Loads on offer to do including an excursions desk. Beach was nice and reasonably clean. Two of the restaurants we are at were very nice with good choice of food. The bbq buffet was amazing but very expensive.

Amazing resort on a small island just off the coast of Phuket. I'd read a mixed bag of reviews suggesting the resort was looking dated but it was modern (room fittings with usb-c), grounds well kept - friendly gardeners every day. Ferry terminal on the mainland means you can wait with refreshments in the cool, and there's shops round the corner to stock up. Arrival by a short ferry across the lagoon (leaves from Phuket side on the hour, returns on the half hour), you're taken to reception by golf cart and then shown your room. I chose a suite and the room was huge - large bathroom with ample sized shower and freestanding bath tub, large bed (odd master light/power switch that turns everything off). Short walk to reception, restaurants and the pools. Food wise it's a resort so you're somewhat limited. Japanese restaurant, open alternating days, has a great balcony view and nice little cocktail bar with 'jazzed up' food. Main 2 restaurants by the beach allow you to order from the back one but still sit facing the ocean, mix of western and local food. Breakfast is a buffet with a strange layout to find foods but live noodle and egg stations offer alot of variety. A few pools means if one is busier you can simply go to another. As a big child, there's a couple of water slides if you don't like sitting by/in a pool, and you've the beach itself - which is shallow. Didn't endulge in activities but walked past people doing morning yoga and saw the sup boards in use. Recommend in low season for the price and privacy of a high level resort, felt like the one bit that was a holiday holiday.

The resort was very nice and the staff were extremely good and Professional.
