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.

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.

relaxing scuba hideout

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

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 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.

The Rosario islands are a special place and this hotel was a great place to stay and enjoy our visit. A small and very quiet hotel with nice clean rooms and very friendly staff. The internet worked well as well. There is water access but no beach, but a few minutes walk off the grounds will take you to several lovely beaches and a place to buy bottled water affordable. The pool was not operational during our stay but they must have it running by now. Lots of day activities if you so desire but we just enjoyed lounging in the many hammocks in the shade of palm trees enjoying the ocean view.The breakfast buffet was fine as was the dinner menu was adequate as well. Thankfully Fabio and David were there as they spoke good English and were able to help us out a lot. It would have been hard without them there for us with our limited Spanish. If you are looking for a quiet natural stay away from it all this hotel is highly recommended.

The Hotel Cocoliso is a lovely property right on the sea. The staff were helpful when we arrived and made sure we were comfortable. The room itself was a bit utilitarian. In fact a constructive criticism about the whole experience is that it is time for Cocoliso to have a makeover update. The paint is chipping away, the door handles are screwed it nicely, some units haven't even had their bathrooms updated from a campsite shower experience and the main area is in deep need of a new pool table, ping pong gaming experience. It's really Frat House level. We found the dining to be wanting as well. The food that they did have was meh at best. And, the quality was inconsistent depending on the day. Sometimes the pasta was mashed potatoes overcooked and sometimes it was alright. They had no pizza the whole week either. However, in their defense, the bartender at the pool was fantastic and the drinks were great. The highlight of the trip was meeting Simone, the boat tour operator who took us on three little outings. He was super professional, a really nice guy and conscientious toward making sure everyone was safe out in the sea. He knows everyone on the island and beyond and went out of his way to make sure everyone had a great time. All in all it was probably worth what we spent on the rooms. But, three nights there seemed like a day too long for us.
