Elizabeth--that was at Coco at Esmeralda. I vowed I would never go back there, and I have not. The OTHER beach bars on Orient have always allowed coolers, as far as I know. It's been a very long time since we were at Kontiki also, so not sure about them, but Bikini and Kakao always allowed coolers. And Friars Bay Beach Club allowed coolers, as of last June, post Irma. And of course you have Mullet, where you can bring your cooler, in addition to Club O beach, and all the small beach bars on Orient allowed it also.
