CoCo View Resort
CoCo View Resort is great! It's not the cheapest location on the island but it's worth the cost. The resort is on a section of island that is only accessible by boat. The resort is small with a very warm feel to it. There are over-water rooms, a building of rooms with balconies, and private beach houses.
A few weeks before we were to arrive, CoCo View contacted me to let me know they were full and would be moving me to a private beach house. These were a few minutes away via bicycle and offered their own stretch of beach, in addition to having all the amenities of a house (kitchen , living room, sun deck, etc). I loved staying at the private beach house.
All meals were provided and made by the friendliest women. I have a few dietary restrictions and they were more than happy to help create meals for me or pull some of the main dish aside before adding the other ingredients I couldn't eat. Local alcohol and beer were included as was most sodas, tea, etc. Once a week there is a BBQ on their private quay with a local dance group coming to give entertainment. The resort also offers a game room that people use for reading, lounging, and catching up with others.
The diving was great! The wreck Prince Albert is right in their "backyard" and is a beautiful dive. You can dive their shoreline anytime, any day. The lockers, dive tanks and cleaning stations are open 24-hours a day. There are morning and afternoon boat dives. The boats are large and comfortable, including a midboat entry so if the swell is bad you can enter from under the boat without risking a swinging ladder accident. The second dive of any boat trip is along the wall heading back to the resort. The longer dive you want, the further they drop you off. While this might seem like a boring repeat, vary your depth by 5' and you'll see things you didn't see before. Or locate something you really like and enjoy multiple opportunities to photograph it.
I would recommend this resort to people who are looking to get in a lot of dives, who enjoy wreck dives, and people who want an all-inclusive resort.
