What a WONDERFUL experience we had staying at CoCo Plum. I can't say enough good things about it. It was VERY clean when we arrived. The pictures just can't do it justice. It's beautiful inside AND out.
The ocean breeze was amazing. We never turned on the air conditioners. There was a great air flow from all of the windows. It was very comfortable.
We walked most of the beach in Hopkins. I never saw a beach as nice and well groomed as the beach here. Every morning the entire beach is raked. There are great beach chairs and tables for enjoying the beach. The deck has nice seating and ridiculously comfortable hammocks. I think our friend was in the hammock more than he was out of it.
The kitchen was great and had all of the essentials. They recommend that you do not drink the water from the tap in Hopkins, but if you ask Tricia, they'll bring you a 5 gallon water bottle with a pump. It's very inexpensive and you don't have to haul it from the market.
The location was GREAT. It's a very short walk to the market. They have just about everything you will need. Lots of great little restaurants are also nearby. A lot of people ride bikes but we just walked. It was easy to get around.
The apartment is towards the Southern end of town and the neighbors are local. They played music kinda loud on Sunday morning, but it was good music and it wasn't bothersome at all. I think it stopped by noon or one, so if you hear their music, don't worry, it won't be like that all the time! That's the only thing I really heard from the neighbors except some kids playing.
We never felt unsafe at all. They do recommend that you lock the doors at night but that's probably a good idea for tourists going ANYWHERE.
The internet is kinda flaky. I believe that it's a service issue with the company and not limited to CoCo Plum. If you just wait a little bit, it will start working again. So, if you are telecommuting or trying to stream anything, that could be difficult.
It was really difficult to leave. It was really a GREAT experience and I wouldn't hesitate to return.
