Hotel Services
The boutique, located in the lobby, is open daily from 10:00 to 18:00. Featured events include visits by international dignitaries. Furnishings, including upholstery, wood-works, decorative items, and stained glass, are from local artisans.
“Coco Ocean charms with Moroccan design and a focus on wellness, including a Thalasso pool; the private beach and ocean-view dining add to the appeal, though some find the restaurants inconsistent. For a solo traveler or business, the Thai restaurant stands out with authentic flavors, though addressing the indoor bugs could elevate the experience. It's a visually striking retreat with friendly staff, especially suited to those prioritizing relaxation.”
