Terrible check-in service, needs TLC
Check in was terrible. Cocoliso claims that our booking through Hotels.com did not show up on their system despite over thirty emails and What'sApp messages to confirm our stay and boat ride and claimed they were fully booked. After two hours with Hotels.com on the phone, Hotels.com stated the booking was confirmed, Cocoliso kept stating that it was not showing up since they were fully booked. Finally, the manager offered us the smallest of their rooms. The bathroom and door had black mold, the hallway had years of cobwebs. Cocoliso needs a lot of repairs, fresh paint, and a better system to integrate with Hotels.com No hot water.

Cocoliso is as advertised a paradise in the middle Of the Caribbean. The staff is super friendly (Alberto/ Silvana and Mabel) took Great care of us while there. The food is excellent and the views are awesome. The surrounding ocean is fantastic. Not a party place - more on the quiet side. But the AC works and everything is very close together.

This resort hotel has a lot of potential. The staff was friendly. Ample lounge chairs and beds by the pool and ocean. Air-conditioner in room worked well too. Once the sun goes down, there is not much to do for guests. You basically have to entertain yourself. There is only one restaurant on the premises. Not everything advertised on the menu was available. You won't be able to have dessert if it's not ordered before 8:30 pm. I would also recommend bringing mosquito repellent for the evenings.

We recently stayed at this hotel. I have to say I was a little worried about the rating but now having stayed there I can honestly say it was wonderful. The staff is so nice! They go out of their way to be accommodating. The manager Tanya went around to each table to make sure eveyone was having a good time. We asked a few questions regarding the water situation. Many people commented that they should have water for guests. Well, Tanya explained this to us. Drinking water is liquid gold on the island. They have to bring it in from Cartagena. So it is perfectly understandable. The breakfast was very good the first morning we were there. On the second the breakfast changed to buffet with only scrabbled eggs which were watery. I asked for fried and again Tanya made it happen! Our room was nice and accommodated of our family of 4. The scuba diving was amazing. My daughter did 2 dives in the day and one at night.

No hot water ever. No water pressure. Lots of food item on the menu not available. Service is very very slow. Not sure how it stays open financially based on just 18 rooms. The ferry to and from is packed and good chance to get soaked on the way. I did. Drinks are very expensive.

Our experience at Cocoliso was generally very good. We loved the pool and the sea being so close. The staff were also on hand to help with anything we needed. However, there are a few things that would imporve this experience. There is no water upon arrival, you can only buy a small bottle for 6000COP, somewhere onsite to buy big bottles of water would help. When ordering drinks with dinner, the staff have to go to the pool bar, which means you are often waiting a while for a drink. There is space in reception for a small bar/fridge.

This is a lovely island resort that has all of the things you need. It felt safe for children going off to play on their own which was wonderful. The only kiddo thing was there wasn’t a large sandy beach area for playing but lots of the island seems similar in this regard. Some of the food and beverages seem expensive but you can easily wander to another resort and try out their food which are of similar prices. It’s overall a nice place to stay for a few days of heading out for a snorkel and playing in the pool.
