Cocobana Beach Resort

I recently stayed at the Cocobana hotel and unfortunately, I had a really terrible time. My first night was plagued by a loud air conditioning unit in my room, which prevented me from getting any sleep. To add insult to injury, there was no water in my room during the second night, making my stay even more uncomfortable. However, the aforementioned issues would have been tolerable had it not been for a very scary incident that occurred during my stay. A local man appeared on the balcony next to mine, claiming to be there for construction work before asking whether I was alone and if my boyfriend was in the room. The resort later confirmed that there was no construction happening, which leads me to believe that the man had nefarious intentions. Needless to say, this incident left me feeling extremely uneasy and unsafe in the hotel. In light of these negative experiences, I ultimately decided to change hotels. To their credit, the Cocobana hotel gave me a refund for the remaining days of my stay. Another redeeming quality of the hotel was its location - situated right in front of the beach and close to dive shops. However, despite its prime location, I cannot recommend the Cocobana hotel to others. The combination of loud and faulty amenities, a lack of water, and a very unsettling encounter with a stranger made my stay there extremely unpleasant. If you're looking for a safe and comfortable stay, I suggest looking elsewhere.
