Royal Caribbean’s private island, Perfect Day at Coco Cay, offers a host of incredible experiences, but one area stands out for its elevated luxury: the Coco Beach Club. The main question we had—and that every cruiser asks—is whether this paid upgrade is truly worth the splurge. We took the plunge to find out.

Pricing and Strategy: When to Buy

The first thing to understand about the Coco Beach Club is its highly dynamic pricing. The cost is not fixed; it can change daily, vary between ships, and spike significantly during holiday sailings.

• Price Range: We’ve personally seen the price fluctuate wildly, from a low of around $90 per person to a peak of over $250 per person.
• Our "Buy It Now" Moment Strategy: Our best advice to you is to monitor your Cruise Planner constantly. If you see the price drop to around half of its peak value, that's your signal to book immediately.

The Coco Beach Club Atmosphere

The moment you step through the entrance of the Coco Beach Club, the atmosphere shifts completely. While the nearby Oasis Lagoon has an energetic, party-like atmosphere, the Beach Club is defined by instant tranquility.

The music is low-key, the service was great, and the entire space feels exclusive. If you are looking for a break from the crowds and the loud, chaotic energy of the main areas, this is your peaceful escape. We spent five hours here, and it was pure relaxation.

VIP Perks and Service

The price tag doesn't just buy you a quieter beach; it buys you a premium experience with dedicated service:

• The Infinity Pool: One of the club’s biggest selling points is the stunning, warm infinity pool. It is built for relaxation and soaking up the sun, not battling for space. Attendants circulate constantly to take drink orders, and for families, it’s a quieter alternative to the huge Oasis Lagoon.
• Dedicated Beach & Seating: The club boasts a pristine, dedicated beach with powder-soft sand. Every seat—whether a lounger or a daybed—feels premium, eliminating the morning race for a chair.
• VIP Touches: High-quality, thick towels are provided, and a surprising amenity was the complimentary sunscreen (which *I* definitely needed with my bald head!).

The Elevated Dining Experience

For us, the food was the most compelling reason to try the Coco Beach Club. This is an opportunity for elevated dining far beyond the standard cruise fare.

The highlights of the menu include:

• Whole Lobster: The whole Caribbean lobster was tasty, although we noted it wasn't as firm as a Maine lobster.
• Surf and Turf: We also enjoyed the fillet and lobster combination.
• Must-Try Dish: The Coco Lobster Sandwich: For our group, the consensus was that this was the best item on the menu. It was described as a coconut-crusted lobster cake and is something you have to try.

Our Final Verdict: Is It Worth the Splurge?

The answer to the central question depends entirely on your cruising style and priorities.

We would consider booking the Coco Beach Club again if we were able to get a good deal. The relaxing environment and elevated food were a wonderful change of pace.
