I loved my stay at Cocoplum and I would definitely recommend it! Let me start off by saying it is a smaller hotel that does need some light updating which is currently happening. However, don't let the other reviews scare you off from this gem! Some people are entitled and I feel bad for them for trying to bash this charming beach hotel. The service is excellent, and the staff was very attentive. The rooms are clean, have cable TV, and the beds are comfortable. Try to get a beachview in advance if you could for extra tranquility. The location is perfect if you are truly seeking a laid back relaxing beach vibe. The food at the restaurant was delicious, and they went out of their way to accommodate our Vegetarian/Vegan needs. The beach is amazing because you are 20 feet away from it, and it does have clear blue waters. The music and atmosphere is very inviting, especially for families and couples alike. There are a few small restaurants and shops outside of the hotel to explore around if you need drinks or snacks. A taxi ride to the center was around $5 so not expensive at all. You can also rent an ATV for the day and they have FREE parking right outside. They do offer tours, and at an affordable rate. I did the aquario and parasiling tour, and they were able to charge it to my credit card on file which was convenient. Now the worst part was the WiFi connection, however if you really are trying to disconnect and have a real beach vacation, this shouldn't really bother you. Just wait to get to the center to upload you pics and videos. Although the best spot to get the signal is by the restaurant. I would recommend this hotel in a heartbeat, and I would definitely come back. Great for families and couples alike! Also please keep in mind with the pandemic and the multiple hurricanes that struck the island, it is still recovering. You can't expect to have the same standards vs American or European hotels. If you truly love getting to know about the culture and having an authentic San Andres experience, then this is the hotel for you. But if you want "luxury" go stay at the boring cookie-cutter Intercontinental hotels.
