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.
