Cocoanut Grove
Fabulous place, fabulous view, fabulous dancing, and fabulous food. A great venue for a wedding reception, or a corporate function. Plenty of room for plenty of people, and truly an unforgettable adventure. Has a long and fascinating history if only the walls could talk. You will love this place.
Sun room!
Wow, this is a cool event space! Spacious ballroom, gorgeous views of the ocean, a very neat sun room, and a disco ball to boot. I wish I could go back (waaay back) in time and have my prom here! Cocoanut grove can hold ALOT of people. There's a bar available for use, and three different rooms that could be utilized depending on the size of the event. This would be a great venue for a wedding reception, dance, reunion, or company holiday party.
