The Coco Point Lodge is located on a 164-acre peninsula and can accommodate a maximum number of 68 guests.

More than 70 Barbudans were reportedly questioned by the Swiss consulting firm Focus Right to get their opinions on how tourism and residential development are affecting their culture and ecology.
While some locals have praised the hundreds of employments it has generated, others claim it is harming Barbudans' distinctive way of life by destroying important mangroves and protected wetlands.
The probe was started as a result of a critical assessment from UN experts that was published in February 2022, and which voiced grave concerns about probable PLH-related human rights violations and the welfare of Barbuda's delicate ecosystems.
