This was an affordable, authentic and relaxed style of accommodation which was an amazing choice for me. Upon contacting Beach Cocomo with my 100 questions they were very prompt in responding and happy to answer all my questions informatively and honestly. The service was 10/10, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Always happy to have a chat and give knowledge and advice on the area.
I stayed in the smaller bungalow, large enough to accommodate 3 people. It was cosy, clean, basic and had everything I needed. The bungalow is surrounded by a beautifully well maintained garden full of tropical flowers and trees. Don't expect modern or fancy, if you're looking for more casual chilled cabin style then this is perfect! The inside is very clean and cute. The cabin is complete with wooden floors, walls and ceiling, with an antique style touch to the furnishings. It feels very homey and inviting. There's a small fridge, a kettle and the housekeeping is done daily with fresh towels each day.
Just past the garden, the bungalow overlooks the beautiful Aqua blue coral reef. The beach was very clean and full of life! I was the only one on the beach most of the time so it's nice and private and quiet. Just be mindful that because this part of the coast is full of coral and sea life the sand is covered with lots of dried coral that's been washed up, so bring reef shoes with you. This accommodation was in the perfect location for me. It was away from the hustle and bustle of the main touristic areas, on its own hill on the side of a main road that's a 15min drive into Sigatoka Town. Although it is near a road there isn't much noise from where the bungalow is, the only time I could hear cars driving was at night, but it didn't bother me much anyway.
Beach Cocomo has its own beach front restaurant, this was the best food I have eaten in Fiji! Marie is very dedicated to serving Fijian food with a modern twist that's so delicious. Sometimes she incorporates an Asian fusion in her food, this was amazing! They source the freshest ingredients and serve it in a cool beach hut style restaurant with sand on the floor, overlooking the gorgeous beach. Marie cooked something different for dinner each night for me, I felt like I had my own personal chef! Everything was substantial and wholesome. To have Marie serve breakfast/lunch/dinner I needed to give her notice so she could prepare everything fresh. I ate breakfast there each morning and it was so tasty and nutritious.
I absolutely LOVED this place, it's such a hidden gem and I can't wait to visit again!
