Beautiful stay, clean, and friendly staff. The food was wonderful but wish there was a faster option than a sit down meal for 3 meals a day. The showers were NOT warm but the room was spacious and clean. The atmosphere was pleasant. Great place to snorkel.

The Soca hotel did not disappoint, from the friendly receptionist with a glass of processco, our glasses taken to our beautiful room, spotless clean with a beautiful sea view. All the staff go above and beyond, excellent food with a wide choice to choose from, and lovely bar staff with delicious cocktails, i will definitely be back
