Creator's Key Takeaways

I have visited this island countless times including well before it was completely transformed into what we all know today

make no mistake Royal Caribbean transformed Coco K to make money and there are plenty of opportunities to spend a lot

if you want to visit and not spend a dime you can still have a full day

the Oasis Lagoon the huge freshwater pool in Coco okay it is not heated

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check a map of CocoCay to understand the layout before visiting
Visit during off-peak hours (after 2 PM) to avoid crowds and heat
Use your onboard drink and Wi-Fi packages on the island for extra value
Consider South Beach for the best beach experience with fewer crowds
Try Harbor Beach for the calmest water regardless of wind
