Overall, it was a wonderful stay and I would definitely recommend it.
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at Cocos Polhena. The staff were very friendly and welcomed us with warm smiles, always ready to help with anything. The room was comfortable and clean, and the breakfast was so good. I also used the free parking which was very convenient. Polhena Beach is fantastic and very close to the hotel, so it’s easy to walk there anytime. Highly recommended!

Clean spacious rooms with access to Polhena public beach
Pros:

Spacious and clean rooms
Next to Polhena beach

Cons:

Place is right next to a public Bus park and there were thousands of people who had arrived on buses and were on the beach, very loud dance music at the bus park and the party went on till 8.30-9pm and ruined our plans of having a quiet relaxed time on the beach
There was no pool too and ruined our afternoon plans and we decided to go Dutchman’s street to have dinner which was super
