Cocos Seaview

We had heard such great things from former very welcoming property managers so we were disappointed with our experience. The room was clean and a very comfortable bed and everything was present as advertised. Unfortunately the outside kitchen was quite dirty with some very smelly goods in there. The current property manager and partner seem to have adopted a mentality that we were experienced a few times on the island- meaning we tolerate you but we you aren't really welcome and an inconvenience We don't care if you need anything or your experience could be improved with communication - you get whatever we feel like giving or sharing with you. Very dirty beaches except on South with beautiful spots like scouts and yacht. Not the tropical beauty I had hoped for. For me this holiday is a disappointment as very expensive and felt more like a 5 star detention island. I will not be back and to be honest will not recommend this island and as soon as the borders are open I will take my money elsewhere, where I feel welcomed and appreciated.

BIG Thanks for Seaview Jack and Fran borrowed us clothes(shorts, shirts, caps,sun cream.) As our luggages arrived late due to airline problems . So friendly and helpful. Strongly recommend. People trusted each other, car keys don't need to remove, doors don't need to lock, so dreaming sociaty.

Stayed for a week. Clean with a comfortable bed. Nice verandah outside room and good outdoor meeting place in the garden with BBQ. Unfortunately the hosts were noticeable by their day to day absence and only had basic communication with their guests. You need to disregard comments made in earlier years as they were different hosts. The kitchen is extremely basic. Microwave but no microwave bowls, etc to do anything. No toaster. No hairdryer. Wifi $35 for the week.

we stayed here for a week on a dive trip. I cant highly recommend this place enough! the staff were super friendly, informative & nothing was an issue. the room had a great layout - bed to one side, kicthenette to the other side with full cooking utensils & large fridge. the ensuite bathroom was huge & drying racks provided ability to dry clothes. the communal laundry was available if you didnt want to hand wash. the store next door was conveniently located. and you are so close to the eating options. we hired a car & there was plenty of space for parking out the front. i loved the louvered front door - allowing fresh air. air cond inside plus ceiling fans throughout. i also liked the dining area out the front of the room overlooking the garden - perfect brekkie spot! this accommodation was perfect & i plan on coming back!!

Clean, comfortable basic room as described with small kitchenette (microwave, kettle and toaster). Very relaxed feel, staff available when you need them. A little further out from the centre of the settlement than most accomodation which is fine except during torrential rain. If you're super paranoid about locking things up, note there is no safe or door locks. Things on the islands are super safe and casual though so it's really not an issue (just a weird feeling for those of us from the 'lock up' mentality of the mainland) WIFI available in the accomodation for a charge
