Haha! I survived fantasy island twice! Although I haven't stayed at coco view I have stayed at AKR a couple times too. Fantasy Island (granted its been 6 years FYI) offers 2 star accommodations (at the time some of the rooms had been newly renovated and were actually ok), and I would say the dive groups were the same size or just slightly larger than AKR. On the upside food was buffet style so no going hungry and the selection was good. They has a bunch of ice cream flavors every night which was good too! They have unlimited free rum cocktails and I do like their beach (some of the guests aren't there to dive but sit by the beach). You do get more kids for that reason. On the upside the location on the island offers diving on that side (like Mary's place etc) which I like the reefs better (Coco view is literally next door so same thing). Downside is the proximity to west end which is like 40? min by taxi vs. AKR which is like 15.
Would I stay there again? Probably not because as I have gotten older and my tastes gotten fancier (about to head out on the Arenui liveaboard in 3 weeks - which is 10x the prices above). If I were young, a true budget traveler, or just don't care about where I sleep then perhaps....
