This new restaurant on the West Beach Palm boardwalk is a real success. Most of the tables are set up in the sand, facing the Marina and the Ferris wheel of Dubai. Ambiance music which can become very loud on weekends. Inspired by the beaches of Bali, the menu offers dishes from Asia and Europe. Resolutely relaxed, with fan feet, it's an air of holiday in this place that is filled every night, even during the week. You have a large salad with a small cocktail and life is good at Koko Bay.

The price is fair,minimal spend is 150 Dirham p.P, the sunbed is included.
We are coming next year again!
2 out of 5 for value versus price.
The ambiance was set with a DJ playing enjoyable music, though sadly the poor quality of the sound system made it difficult to appreciate, as we could only hear overwhelming bass.
The food was generally average. The dumplings were notably dry, and the shrimp sauce lacked seasoning. The fried baby octopus had well-prepared breading, but the edamame was overcooked. The sushi options, including maki and machi, were mediocre and forgettable, with the machi leaving an unpleasant aftertaste.
Desserts continued the trend of disappointment, delivering a below-average experience with a milky aftertaste and tasteless meringue.
Drinks were perhaps the worst aspect of the night. The cocktails, even the basics, were poorly crafted, leading to a situation where my partner couldn’t finish hers. Additionally, the use of worn plastic cups did not complement the drinking experience.
Service did little to redeem the situation. The hostess greeted us with a demeanor more suited to a medical facility than a restaurant. The staff seemed uninterested in basic hospitality, exemplified by a lack of greeting and minimal interaction. I found myself requesting the cleaning of our table multiple times and eventually removing plates myself.
In summary, the place did not live up to expectations, even considering the absence of generosity, which might be overlooked if compensated by fine dining and excellent drinks. This was not the case here.
My advice? Consider visiting the neighboring restaurant, which seems to provide a superior experience.
