  We were greeted by a less than welcoming staff person. The room was “okay”, however very old and did not appear to be maintained. We walked into a sweltering hot room as all appliances including refrigerator, freezer and AC were either unplugged or turned off. The pool was covered in algae and leaves. The jacuzzi was empty. Aside from the registration staff, all other staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast that was included was very nice.

  Beautiful property, great room, but there was no water from the time I got up until the time I checked out, I thought that was rather odd.

  not many options, but . . .

  This place is not a bad option. It's not expensive, the pool is nice enough, and some of the staff is very helpful (some less so, as is normal). The rooms, though, are dark and a bit dingy. There is simply no way for the light to get to the rooms, so you depend upon what may be the worst lighting I have ever seen in a hotel room. No bedstand lighting, harsh & insufficient ceiling lights & no outlets! It's pretty depressing, frankly - à la cheap roadside motels.The rooms are clean enough, although it may be time for a bit of a spruce up. However, the hotel is right on a busy road, so it's constantly noisy, & dusty, and the town is a bit rowdy, so not a lot of peace & quiet here. The location is fine--next door to a GREAT pollolandia, upon which you'll depend, as the food at this hotel is just not good. The breakfasts are an embarrassment--cut-up hot dogs? seriously? EXTREMELY greasy frozen hash brown thingies, fried eggs dripping with grease, pre-cooked, & stacked in a buffet. EXTRA greasy yuca served one day. Terrible toast & all the margarine you can eat. I begged for butter, but was told by a rather nasty woman that "Margarine. This is what we have!" But, one day, a magical employee who actually gave a damn brought me an entire stick of butter. I thanked him profusely, & explained that I only needed a Tablespoon, which he kindly brought to me for the subsequent breakfasts. So, bottom line--Coco is not a particularly nice town in which to stay, but this hotel is adequate.
