+Homestay people are very nice and friendly, the kitchen was amazing there, thay gave us a lot of coconuts. Huts are very simple. They dont have a bet just mattrac on floor. Island has probem with gabage. We were look around and it was a lot of rubbish there. It should be a beautiful place without rubbish. We had a perfect guide Kostan, he took us on some many beautifull places. We wished to go on Wayag, but actually they have problem between local people an pearls company, so we didnt get there. The biggest problem of this homestay is that the owner runs it from Waisay. He is not there to fix all the problems and guide cannot supstitute him in this.

“Fantastic place, fantastic food, and very kind hosts”
+Beautiful location. Beautiful sunsets. Good snorkelling. Very kind host family. Fantastic food (mostly fish for dinner, caught nearby). Skilled boat drivers. Calm atmosphere. Cabins and toilets very clean.
−There is a lot of plastic in the ocean, but it is an international problem, and the plastic comes from far away. They are doing a great job cleaning the beaches at Coco huts. I hope the plastic is removed from the ocean so that the fish and people who live in this paradise can survive.

“Superb”
+Alright - this is absolutely a dream come true. The Bungalows are simple but view is stunning. Overall, it is amazing to be on this island which basically feels like it's all for yourself. Usually there are not many guests, so this place is perfect to unplug from reality. There is sand/soil pretty much everywhere on this side of the island so expect to be bare foot the whole time. The location is perfect for Wayag which is definitely worth a visit (do Wayag, not Piaynemo, if you have to choose). Also the staff will pick up coconuts for you directly from the palms, if you ask them. Special mention for the food. Always good!
−We had some issues at the beginning of the stay as nobody welcomed us and it was hard to understand anything about the organization of the homestay. This was mainly because the hosting family did not speak English and the communication with the owner/manager (not on the island) was difficult. I must say, though, that the experience after 3 days of stay was great. It would be a full score if the communication/organization of the stay were smoother.

“Wonderful”
+Great place. On a fairly remote island, very quiet and beautiful location with a nice sunset view (there are two more homestays on the other side of the island, less fascinating than coco hut). Two hours from Waisai (the boat trip well arranged by the homestay is nice in itself) and two and a half hours from the absolutely amazing Wayag (weather permitting - they arrange a trip with their local boats at a fair price). Trips to nearby islands to snorkel, manta spots and great sandbank's sunset are also available (Vince can help you arrange them). The bungalows are comfortable and with a nice view (perhaps hammocks could be better fixed and an additional chair added on the deck for further improvement). The food is very good, the hosts and staff provide great service and the shared bathroom is good (when compared to other homestays in the area) and always kept clean. Great value.

“Exceptional”
+It was absolutely great! The family was amazing! They were so kind, nice and helpful. Vence, Oscar, Rio and all the rest did their best to make us comfortable. It is a veey peaceful island. The beach front bungalows were basic (Raja Ampat style homestay) but very comfortable and clean. The view from the bungalows was amazing, also wonderful sunset. The shared bathroom and toilet was always clean. Family always keep the homestay very clean. The food was great. We had different varieties and even snacks in the afternoon. They always put hot water for our tea and coffee all day. Vence speaks pretty good English and he helped us a lot for our tours. We picked here since it is closer to Wayag so we did Wayag tour with them and it was amazing! We also did snorkel tours where we saw manta too :) We absolutely recommend here to stay to go to Wayag (it takes 2 hours to go there from here).

+Coco is basic, but comfortable. This is the place to stay before hiring a log boat to the beautiful Wajag archipelago. The postcard image of Raja Ampat. Coco also has an excellent English speaking guide, who acts as an interpreter and organiser when deciding where to go. The house reef is excellent and don't forget to visit the villages on the surrounding islands. They are very interesting.

+The Place is fantastic. A bit off the beaten Track. Rio and her husband manage the place very well - lovely Family. Great food. Sweet Kids :) The food was amazing, the house reef is great as well. Nice excursions with Vence to Wayag or nearby manta point and smaller islands also aroud with spectactular reefs and coral gardens. Pianemo also close. The trip to Wayag is close(r) to do from here, so you might have enough time to enjoy Wayag. The homestay has shared bathroom which is spotlessly clean, the traditional bungalows overlook the sea with fantastic sunsets. A well recoomended place to spend more then 2 or 3 nights.
