Madivaru Packages (Flight + Hotel)

Property was well looked after, the staff were very friendly, Particularly the team at the dive school. The excursions were brilliant. Food was nice, and the drinks were good. We had bad rain on the first day, and the roof of our room had a small leak. The fridge also wasn’t very cold.

A truly lovely resort, but it has a number of shortcomings. I had a villa with pool and it was spectacular! Truly lovely. Took 2 days to get used to the outdoor bathroom, but it's safe. Things to note: You cannot order an alcoholic beverage for in-villa dining (except beer), but you can order a bottle @ ~3x the cost. (e.g. gin $135-$160 a bottle; JD $175; grey goose $210!). Get duty-free before you get to the island, if you can. There is no beach service except at the bar pools. My villa was right on the beach with a private pool, but I had to go to one of the bars. Kinda defeated the purpose, for me. In-villa dining is kinda bad (improperly seared tuna; bitter lettuce; horrible scrimpy chicken sandwich), and if they are busy with breakfast, 5 or 6 calls will still not guarantee they answer. Please check departure time against number of nights charged. I had a departure at 1:45 am on Friday, thus was at the airport at 8 pm on Thursday (late night boats not available, and that's the only way to the island). Nonetheless, because my flight was after midnight, they charged me for 6 nights instead of 5. Not sure if that was their fault or Expedia. Either way, it sucked. Most of the staff are friendly and efficient, though smiles are hard to come by. (It may be a cultural thing.) Clovie at check-in was OK but not warm and welcoming. My housekeeper, Abdullah, was FABULOUS!! Kinda shy, but always pleasant and helpful.

COMO Cocoa Island simply put... IS AMAZING. This is our second time visiting. Let it suffice to say it's THE BEST. That's all I'm going to say you'll need to go visit the see what it's all about. Thank you COMO and the STAFF.

The staff and the villas at Oaga make thsi a beautifully stay however dont believe the Instagram pictures as it's very 'over promise and under deliver'. The food offering is pretty shocking - nice food but literally the same few offers every day. The pool area is virtually non existent. Some nice snorkeling off one tip of the island and lovely sand. We stayed by our villa throughout the day and used the drinks from the all inclusive mini bar and this suited us well and had a nice stay. Some really lovely touches but overall was disappointed in the resort compared to how it sells itself.
