Cocolia Hotel

Cocolia exceeded our expectations! We were worried about visiting during rainy season, but we lucked out with the weather. Yes, there were mosquitos and other jungle bugs, but we learned to co-exist. The team went above and beyond to make our stay special. We loved the roar of the ocean and the open view to the jungle and the ocean beyond— and we especially loved the open-air shower. Thank you to the staff for your kindness! We can’t wait to come back.

The staff was very friendly and welcoming, even bringing us an extra fan at 10pm. The swimming pools and grounds were beautiful, with great views of the ocean. It was a quiet and peaceful place, with the sound of the waves in the distance.

I can honestly say that this was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. Everything about this place is so thoughtfully designed and truly unique. The entire property is absolutely stunning — even more breathtaking than in the pictures. We stayed in a beautiful and private bungalow with the most incredible sea view. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcome. The entire staff was incredibly attentive and offered exceptional service throughout our stay. The chef is outstanding, creating amazing dishes with real skill. One day, after a fishing trip where we caught a tuna, he prepared a special three-course tuna dinner for us — the best tuna dishes I’ve ever had, and I’ve had many! The hotel manager is wonderful — incredibly friendly, always helpful, and arranging everything effortlessly. All in all, a truly unique and unforgettable experience.

Where do I start? This is by far one of those very few special places that you never want to leave. Every single detail felt unique, from the warm welcome to the many common areas, so nicely decorated in authentic Oaxacan style. The views are just breathtaking, you are surrounded by nature, yet the ocean is always there as your compass. The bungalow felt so private and cozy, well thought through and beautifully designed, not to mention that amazing outdoor shower! Going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the crashing waves was truly special. On our last morning, we even spotted a whale from our terrace. If you are looking for a grounding experience, this is definitely the place to unwind and slow down. All the staff is amazing, you can feel the passion they have for the place and soul they put into their work, something we have rarely seen before. The General Manager was so kind and regularly checked in on us, plus he helped us with great recommendations and tour arrangements. We equally loved the food, the chef definitely knows what he is doing. Everything was super tasty, from the pizza (the best we´ve had in Mexico and we live here) and traditional tlayuda to the fish and seafood, and the prices of both food and drinks more than decent. Not last, Mermejita beach is at a 10-minute walk and is one of the wildest and most stunning beaches we´ve ever seen. We cannot wait to return, thank you so much for the warm welcome and hospitality.

The hotel itself is beautiful, remote and tucked away. It felt like an amazing escape into nature. We were unfortunately there when a hurricane arrived and had to cut our stay short but Isidro was so helpful, he was always communicating with us and provided the best service. I will always have the fondest memories of Cocolia and only wish we could have been there longer
