Coco Plum Island Resort, an adults-only private island destination in Belize, has unveiled a significant renovation of its central guest areas with the introduction of the reimagined Coco Palms Restaurant & Bar and the new Serenity Bar & Pool. These new additions collectively transform over 6,000 square feet of dining, lounging, and swimming spaces.
Coco Plum Island Resort's renovation project expands its amenities by adding an infinity pool with panoramic ocean views, an open-air restaurant blending contemporary design with Caribbean vistas, and a second, more secluded poolside retreat featuring a Belizean-style thatch bar. The business has created two distinct social environments — Coco Palms functions as a vibrant hub for communal meals, handcrafted cocktails, and sunset viewing, while Serenity offers a quieter escape on the opposite end of the island.
