Cocoa Boutique Hotel

Cocoa Boutique Hotel has a lot going for it, especially its exceptional staff. A special thank you to Josephine, the receptionist/supervisor, who truly stood out. She is gentle, pleasant, and an excellent problem solver who immediately puts guests at ease. Josephine demonstrates true leadership skills (and the outlook of a professional). The made to order breakfast was also well-received. Yummy! Our initial room had a few minor issues that would have affected our overall enjoyment. However, the situation was handled quickly and fairly—Josephine and the General Manager offered us an upgraded room that exceeded our expectations. Much appreciation as well to Joshua, who handled our luggage with great care. The new room was absolutely exquisite. That said, the hotel itself is showing its age and could benefit from some repairs. Many pieces of furniture are quite worn. Still, the property has tremendous potential. I especially loved all the breezy, comfortable areas to sit and relax. The ocean-view balconies are a highlight—one evening, I even spotted a camel walking along the beach from our balcony, which was a fun and memorable surprise. The beach itself has a lot of seaweeds but there were still good swimming spots. Overall, this hotel is a hidden gem. With a little TLC, it could easily be restored to its former glory.

Incredibly pleasant and helpful staff. Great location with incredible views. Ability to take stroll along early mornings or evenings. Indian Ocean few feets away, so calming and constantly at your service providing the perfect cool down. Beautifully maintained public pool for your use.

This is an older property, so there are some things that are not perfect. I would stay here again with no hesitation and actually would prefer this over a fancy hotel any day because I like the peace and quiet. We stayed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights. There was no crowd and no loud music. Again, perfect for me. The entire area was clean and safe. Parking was secure. The place is well off the main roads, so there is zero noise from traffic and the only foot traffic is on the beach. Very safe. This hotel is pretty far away from the other hotels, so the beach area was always quiet. The people who sell things are all around the other hotels. Walking distance if you want to see it, but we didnt have to deal with them non-stop, so we were able to relax. A/c was good, but we left the windows open and were very comfortable day and night (Early March). Maybe it was just the time of year, but we didnt see 1 mosquito. No screens on the windows and our bed didnt have a mosquito net....but we didnt need them either. We were on the top floor, beach side. Wifi was enough to check email, but not good enough for social media or streaming. Buy a mobile data package if you need it. SafariCom worked well for us. The hotel food was good and the staff was great. Zero complaints. Roberto's Italian restaurant is a must and is only a couple minutes away by car.
