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.
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.
Hey if your Loooking for tranquility ,great hospitality and a place to enjoy family and friends. I highly recommend! My daughter and I did 3 nights in December 2024… very safe,great diving,a village just a 20 minute walk 10 minute bike ride ( thanks Simon!) .. very memorable with blue waters,great food and drinks. We. Will be back. Thanks to everybody at Planet Dive( on premise dive shop). The staff amazing! Note …boat ride from Cartagena very convenient..take the day or go to here .. multiple days to unwind!
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
its a bit run down. Menu option is very limited. Food and drink prices are fair.
None of the activities are included.
It does NOT have any beach.
Staff is friendly
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.

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.
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.

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.
I loved the Hotel but the best was the staff Fabio, Rodrigo, Laura and all the staff were AMAZING. I will be back for sure. Love the hotel and the best was the people and the food.

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

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...
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!
