We had an excellent stay at Grand Coco Bay (The Reef) booked through Apple Vacations (so easy and no issues). It was a lovely, smaller, I'd say four star resort in a great location - just a 10 minute walk up the beach to Mamitas Beach Club and the beginning of Quinta Avenida. The staff was excellent: everyone was friendly,... More
