The ac was good. They had power shut downs at least 2 times between 4 and 6 but we were enjoying the pool anyway. No big deal. The people were friendly and they even gave us free coffee. The scuba diving company on site was excellent Diving Planet. Make sure you go out at least once. They also allow lionfish hunting. I caught 21 with my friend. Highly recommend it for some R&R.

Beautiful property near amazing scuba diving. Be prepared for not much English and limited food choices but it was well worth it.
The entire staff is so friendly and happy here they make you want to smile all day.
Meals were delicious! Rooms basic but very clean. Some paint and mantenance needed but very nice for value, location
A really nice place to relax, it's more for family vacations, quiet,
Lack of variety of cocktails, the ones they have are plane and simple. They only let you stay in the pool until 6.
Internet conecction is bad on the rooms
Wonderful people four staff. We had a gorgeous room. Delicious food at the restaurant. Very enjoyable

Beautiful setting, small town only 30min walk, room was good, staff very helpful and friendly.
Menu selection could have been better, and for some reason they shut off water to toilets overnight, had to go ask for it to be turned on.
My stay at Cocoliso was amazing! I did my PADI open water certification with Diving Planet, which is conveniently located within the resort. The staff was incredible and very friendly. I would absolutely recommend Cocoliso and if you’re interested with diving, go with diving planet!
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.

The staff was helpful and very cordial. The island was beautiful, sea, nature and several options of things to do, like snorkeling, tours to the manglares, other islands, diving etc.
The food was not good and they need to have a store where one can buy sweets, ice cream and things one like to enjoy while on vacation.
nice quiet getaway from cartegena. great place to scuba and relax for a few nights. you are isolated from other parts of the island and are at the mercy of the high priced restaurant. but service is wonderful. only issue was toilets stopped working which I read is common so they need to upgrade that infrastructure

Check in real late, supposed to be double deluxe room ( it wasn’t) all inclusive food (limited aftr first day) , no water aftr checkin & every night.. we’ve stayed there before .. it was amazing… went back .. was horrible!! Staff very unappreciative of people that stay multiple days … not accomadating…Actually told me they were “ too busy” .. to adress the issues and I was the only one there in the lobby. …They were actually spooning pineapple juice froth into another glass just to make it appear like there was more and glass was only 3/4 full…. Don’t go there. Head manager is horrible at her job!!
Did not like that there is practically no beach nor activities or any sort. This property was not my initial reservation..it was changed & not what I expected...

Drinking water is scarce and the only choice a guest has is buying expensive 1 liter water bottles in the hotel. The hotel should provide water at reasonable prices

Cool location, nice pool. No beach, terribly slow and inconsistent service. Constant loud music consisting only of dance remixes of popular songs that is impossible to get away from anywhere on the property.
