There's
not much new about the New Hotel Coco Beach, indeed its rooms have certainly seen bet-

The beach is just below the hotel and you can have breakfast as the waves splash just a
short wander away - magic.

serves up fresh fish in high season.

Right on the
seafront, this great place has classy blonde-wood accents, navy-blue sheets and nautical
embellishments that give rooms some character, while the peeling courtyard, crystal pool
and thatched bar are tropically indulgent.
