    We went to the Ibiza summer event and it was so good. The staff were welcoming, the food was lovely and the entertainment was incredible. The vibe was great with live music, interaction and we danced all night. Good value for the food and entertainment and we really did enjoy everything on offer. Would definitely do it again.

    My first time at Cote and we will be visiting again. Fabulous service and food. We hadn't booked an outside table, but on such a lovely afternoon, the staff quickly arranged a table for us outside, but in the shade.
