Beautiful place, nice room even with a jacuzzi, privat beach. Friendly staff. Good breakfast we could use outside direct besides the beach.
03.11.2025
I recently spent two nights in this hotel.. The Bad: hotel decor is very dated. Colour schemes and furniture and in particular the Jazuzzi bath in bathroom are really archaic. The Good: hotel is located right on the beach. The bedrooms are huge and have excellent aircon and fan. The staff were incredibly nice and the food was excellent, in particular the dinner menu. Choices for breakfast were somewhat limited. Overall very enjoyable stay was had .

Positives: Amazing location Beautiful nature Spacious room Additional bed request for my daughter (6 year old) was provided as a normal wooden bed with comfortable mattress Negatives: Nothing like the photos advertised Terrible facility management There is a flow of dirty water (and probably waste) to the beach from the area at the back of the hotel, they do not even care about it Breakfast is terribly poor, nothing to eat It is hard to call the hotel of the restaurant a proper “restaurant” Ordered a pizza from the restaurant on our first day because i was feeling too sick to go out, could not even get one bite from it The guy working in the beach area constantly trying to sell us massage Too many trash in the beach area, they dont even bother to clean Drinking water in the room is water manually filled in glass bottles, no idea about the source of the water Stinky pillows and sheets and towels, not even sure if they were clean No liquid soap in the bathroom of the room, one small piece of solid soap, like a piece cut from a large bar of soap Too many flies, even in the restaurant area, no action being taken to avoid them Very small hotel garden, garden walls covered in mold A hotel in such an amazing location could not have been managed worse than this!

Our stay at Cocobay was absolutely incredible! The staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming, always going above and beyond. The breathtaking ocean views made every moment unforgettable. Highly recommend

The place is lovely, the service is hard but a little unreliable. Clean, welcoming, the room is large and the space is comfortable. It is 2 kilometers away from the ancient city, but it is also very fast to call a taxi.

The experience of this hotel is average. First of all, the hygiene of the room is average. The bathroom has a bit of smell. Secondly, the towels don't look very clean. I was woken up by mosquito bites in the middle of the night and saw dozens of mosquito bites on my feet. It's really unbearable. I haven't had such a bad experience in so many days. However, the location of the hotel is good. It is in Coco Bay and faces the beach. The breakfast is not a buffet, but a meal ordering form. I didn't expect that the taste is good, because the bread and waffles are baked on the ordering basis, which is particularly fragrant.

Very pleasant and helpful staff. Food is delicious. Want to go again.

It was a nice stay at CocoBay with friends and families.
Location – Super location with a private beach. It is a shallow beach where you can walk around 100 meters towards the sea. Even though its shallow, it has strong waves. Beach is very clean. But water was not clean and it had mud in the sea water. Hotel staff told that was due to the heavy rain and the near by river has caused the muddiness. But not sure whether its true or not. So it’s a bit of a concern to bathe in the water.
Hotel – Rooms were clean and very well maintained. As we were doing a day out we did not book their regular room with jacuzzi, we booked a standard room without a jacuzzi and a sea view. But still it was very good and had a great washroom as well with all the amenities
Restaurant – had a large restaurant with the sea view and next to the pool. Food was tasty and everyone enjoyed it. But prices of the restaurant is way over priced and it is not worth for money.
Overall I highly reccoment the hotel, but if possible try dine out as the restaurant was over priced and there are lot of dine in in the area.
