Staff was nice. The room has a lot of spider webs especially in the bathroom. That’s an easy fix other than that it was simply ok.

Beachy local vibes
We love Coco Beach. The hotel was ok the town was alive and vibrant definitely a vibe. I would definitely go back. Beach was ok to swim but was great for morning walks. The restaurants around were amazing great food and service.

Loved my stay at Coco Beach Resort, and the location couldn't have been better. So close to all the restaurants, shops, and the beach. Service was very friendly. I ended up staying for a week and my room wasn't cleaned once during that time or towels replaced, but I'm sure they would have had I asked. Was very clean when I moved in!

We liked the location a lot. It was a short walk to the beach and surrounded with shops and restaurants. The hotel staff were friendly. The room was basic and the bathroom was very small! There was no hot water.

At first we had to go across the street for breakfast, the last week it changes and was now on the property. The property kept very clean, it was convenient to get any thing you wanted around the area. It was a 5 minutes walk to the beach.

The place is like an average motel. Location is good, center of coco beach, but it gets noisy at night (people drinking in the street, yelling).
The room was old, not a lot of lighting. AC worked great. For one night, it was ok. The posting mentioned parking, but when we asked for it, it was a few buildings away in the back of a property, looked like a ditch. We parked on the street instead.
There is no elevator for luggage… There’s a casino downstairs. Didn’t try breakfast.

Convenient location
We made last minute reservations for a weekend so this served the purpose. The location was convenient, but it wouldn't be my first choice if I returned. There is access to pools at two other locations but we bought a day pass at a closer hotel that had a nice restaurant and pool. Hotel is a 2 block walk to the beach and located in the middle of the town with many restaurants and tourist shops. The room was quiet even though there was a lot going on very close by. One queen bed had only one pillow. We asked for a second but never received it. Breakfast was tasty but there was no menu, and with the language difference, we had to look at what others were eating to order our food. The room where breakfast is served felt a bit like a large storage room with an old couch and chair mixed with the tables and a sheet covering some furniture. Also in the breakfast room, the Christmas decorations were still up at the end of January but looked like they might have been there for years. Not sure if the bunny pictures with chinese writing were easter decorations or some type of logo for the casino. Front desk help and the gentleman cleaning rooms were very pleasant and helpful. Water pressure wasn't too strong and water was lukewarm for a shower. We were able to get one of the off street parking spots and the car was safe there. Only two bath towels were provided versus the usual four, but they did have terrycloth robes.

we had to move rooms 3 times. the sheets were not washed and were covered in dirt and red blood, along with ants in the first room. the second room smelled of extremely toxic chemicals. we could barely breathe. when we asked the check in guy to come to the room to see what the smell was, he looked in the closet and told us there was a pesticide puck for bugs in the closet. The third room was ok but was dirty. also, there is a night club directly across the street that is very loud, and the music plays quite late.

The room was dinghy and neglected. The shower barely worked, the TV did not work, the wifi did not work, the view from the front door was a rusted roof over a rough street scene. The staff was not friendly, helpful or really hardly present. This room might have been appropriately priced at $25 for the extreme low budget traveler who just needed a bed, toilet and a (sort of) shower… the topper, the room was a complete buzzkill for any romantic physicality my wife and I had in mind.
