CoCo Rose Guesthouse

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at CoCo Rose! Rose and her staff were welcoming and helpful. The unit, kitchenette and washroom were spotless. Lots of hot water to clean up after sea bathing either in the property beach or at nearby beaches such as Turner's Beach or Darkwood Beach - easily accessible by local minbus for $3EC. The unit balcony was wonderful to relax on by day with a superb view of the sea and the beautiful property landscaping! Local food is delicious - a must try. And the Antiguans we met were knowledgable and courteous. Thank you Rose!

If your tryna take some time to yourself and get out the city perfect get away to have a peace of mind

My wife and I stayed at Coco Rose guest house for a week in the beginning of March. For background, we are from the U.S. and 60 years old. First, Coco Rose is on a very (very) quiet side of the island mostly residential and you will need a car. The quiet was perfect for us. The room was large – bed, small cooking area, dishware, cookware, refrigerator, bathroom – all the essentials. We had a very nice balcony overlooking the water. It is not a beach for swimming or for laying in the sand, but interesting. The room was very clean and service was provided every other day. I am not sure, but I believe you have to request an air conditioner if you want one. The rooms are only provided with window units on request which was fine with us. Rose and the others at Coco Rose were extremely friendly and helpful. Coco Rose is located about 30 minutes from English Harbor in one direction and about 30 minutes from St. John’s in the other direction. It is a perfect location to venture out. There are several small but well supplied markets located about 2/3 minutes from Coco Rose. Darkwood beach is about a 4 minute car ride away and Ffryes beach is about 6 minutes away from Coco Rose. Both of these beaches are always rated as top five beaches in Antigua. We spent just about every day at Ffryes beach. My wife and I are doing a bit of travel now and we always rate a location/stay with the simple question – would we stay here again. In the case of the Coco Rose guest house – absolutely. In fact, we are now planning our return trip for 2025. The hospitality, smiles, price, and location cannot be beat. You need something – just ask. It was a very nice vacation for us.

This is a total hidden gem on the island of Antigua. We've visited quite a few hotels here and Coco Rose stands out as a total haven away from the bustle and tourist traps of the rest of the island. The rooms are very bright, airy and spacious. They come with everything you'll need from a guest house - stove, kitchenette, kettle, cutlery, fridge, desk, small dining table, and obviously full toilet/shower and a balcony (request for the beach view, it's beautiful). The BEST part of this property is the beach. You have your own stunning PRIVATE beach. We stayed here for 2 weeks and I did not see a single other person on the beach the entire time. The water and wind is gentle (unlike some other sides of the island which are very windy), and cares reef is just opposite out in the water. This is such an overlooked feature of the property - beaches in Antigua are all technically "public" - you have a right to walk and sunbathe beach, even if its a secluded 5 star resort. That's why footfall is important, and this beach is so hidden hardly anyone on the island knows about it, giving you the feeling of total privacy and peace. Rose and her team are so kind and caring as well, from the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcomed. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quite and beautiful getaway to come here and stay. You won't regret it. It's better if you drive as its more remote than other properties (a good thing in my opinion) but you can still get to Jolly harbour and other areas within 13 minutes. There is a field for parking your car right in front of the property. Finally it's a such a safe area, a very quiet neighbourhood and you feel at peace with the swaying palm trees and green foliage surrounding you when you arrive. We can't wait to return!

Great stay clean and comfortable loved the morning snorkel on the reef. Very homely.

It was a nice stay

The rooms are large, clean and homey

The place was cute, quiet, and off the grid from more highly tourist populated areas. All while being down the road from multiple bars, restaurants, and beautiful, quiet beaches. One of my favorite beaches on the island was right up the road. A couple comments for feedback and improvement: the deadbolt lock was not working, though the doorknob lock did work. We did also see some baby ants on the floor and some cob webs with ? couple spiders. These did no5 diminish from the stay or cause big concerns. Clean this up/fix the lock, and this would basically be a perfect stay!

Beautiful location right by the beach, just a quick bus or cab ride away from swim beaches and restaurants. Rose is incredible, so accommodating, gave great suggestions for locations and cab services.
