N/A

L'hotel est situé dans un écrin de végétation luxuriante, au calme, qui dispose de 2 piscines. Nous avons eu la chance d'y séjourner pendant une période un peu creuse et de fait l'hôtel était vide. Le personnel est très sympa, le manager également, nous avons bien mangé au restant, nous avons aussi profité du room service, et les cocktails étaient très bons aussi.

Il est important de noter qu'une voiture est indispensable pour vous déplacer, et que les hébergements ne disposent pas de clim ce qui n'est pas négligeable selon la saison où vous y allez.

Un lugar ideal para desconectar

Me ha gustado todo, pero diría que la carretera de acceso no es muy comoda.

Lo mejor, el servicio del personal y la arquitectura de los bungalows y las areas comunes. La privacidad de los bungalows de un solo piso.

Quizás pondría mosquitero en la celosía de ladrillo, entiendo que el concepto es natural y de contacto con la naturaleza y eso me parece muy bien, solo creo que me sentiría mas agusto sabiendo que no pudieran entrar tan fácil ciertos bichos.

A beautiful, quiet sanctuary in a stunning location, but best if you have a rental as a walk (and a climb) from the beach. Very comfortable and well designed. Superb food and restaurant. Amazing views from the bar at the top. And a second, secluded pool for relaxing and swimming. Stunning place!

It is a fraction cut off from the restaurants and beach life in Mazunte. Many will like it for that; some not.

Each bungalow had plenty of space around to feel secluded and private. The design is very satisfying and the room comfortable to stay in. We particularly loved sleeping with the door open to the sounds of the waves and the fireflies outside. The staff were all very attentive and friendly.

We were there in the hot months and we knew there was only fans, which was manageable most of the time. Otherwise we were in the pool.

Que el hotel está inmerso en la naturaleza y que si quisieras no moverte, tienes comida disponible de 8am-10pm en el restaurante.

Las instalaciones al estar al aire libre, no están suficientemente equipadas para las temporadas de lluvia. Los taxis para subir y bajar del hotel son muy caros. El acceso al hotel es difícil.

Me gustó el ritual de bienvenida, los espacios comunes, el restaurante, las cabañas, la atención y amabilidad de todo el personal, en especial de Franco creo que se llamaba el mozo que más nos atendió, que podiamos pedir comida donde estuviesemos…

El camino para llegar al hotel es bastante malo, a la salida, en una calle con pendiente, nos dimos un gran susto. Quizás el hotel podría impulsar o contribuir al arreglo del camino desde la ruta y hasta el pueblo

El lugar es precioso, todos los detalles bien cuidados y el personal muy amable y servicial.

Al ser un hotel ecológico con energía solar no hay aire acondicionado. El acceso a la playa (sobre todo la vuelta) es algo difícil

Wunderschöne Bungalows an einem wunderschönen Ort, toller Pool und verschiedene Angebote zum sich erholen.

The property is beautiful, a little cocoon in the jungle while still being close to town. It’s the perfect place to disconnect and unwind. The privacy is excellent, and the staff are amazing, warm, and very friendly. A truly special stay! There is a beach a walk down from the hill stairs from the resort- but possibly the best and most exotic beach in the area.

A couple of things to keep in mind. The property is quite inconvenient to reach from Mazunte town, it’s not within walking distance and there’s no shuttle service. We found it difficult to get a taxi at times. Also, it’s best to visit during cooler months, as the property can get uncomfortably warm during the day, and being an eco property, there is no air conditioning!

We loved the design of the room and the connection you had with nature. We had a couple of really nice and quite days. Nice pool and facilities. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful.

Although the food was very tasty, some of the prices felt quite high compared to similar places and accommodations. It felt a bit uncomfortable that they asked to leave tips for everything, on top of the standard charges (this was the only hotel in Mexico we experienced this during our 3 weeks travel)

EVERYTHING!

Nothing!!

Exceeded all of our expectations! Absolutely increible!

Wonderful tranquil gorgeous space with amazing food and friendly staff. Breathtaking views.

Liked everything.

Es una muy grata experiencia excepcional aunque radicalmente diferente, definitivamente regresaremos

View from the room was spectacular. The staff were amazing!

I had a skunk come into my room and spray. Also the property is remote and very spread out. Feels empty which can be nice but very quiet.

Das Hotel liegt, genau wie auf den Fotos gezeigt, total abgelegen wunderschön auf den Klippen am Meer. Man kann total abschalten, sich wohlfühlen, die Zimmer sind geräumig genug und komplett offen. Das Personal ist super freundlich und es gibt einen Platz zum Yoga machen. Das ganze Ambiente ist einzigartig und fühlt sich an wie eine andere Welt. Es gibt einen Fussweg direkt zum Strand runter und 2 Pools. Wir haben ein vergünstigtes Upgrade während unseres Aufenthalts bekommen, in ein noch schöneres Zimmer.

Die Preise im Restaurant sind sehr hoch. Wir haben das Hotel nicht verlassen und als Paar, ohne Alkohol über die 5 Tage nochmal den Preis von 2 Nächten nur über die Mahlzeiten ausgegeben. Man muss dazu sagen, das Essen war sehr gut. Aber mitten im Dschungel 4,50€ für einen Kaffee zu bezahlen war sehr überraschend. Wenn man ein Auto hat, kann man damit allerdings auch jederzeit woanders hinfahren zum Essen, wir haben uns einfach entschieden, es nicht zu tun.

Zwei Pools, Design - Holz und Beton, tolle Möbel, Pflegeprodukte gut, offenes Konzept des Zimmers, Yoga Raum. Checkin sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Die Bepflanzungen sind sehr schön und geben insbesondere in den Trockenzeit dem Ganzen eine grüne Atmosphäre. :) trotz des offenen Konzepts viel Privatsphäre.

Poolhandtücher hatten bessere Qualität als Handtücher im Zimmer, Service sehr langsam und gar nicht proaktiv. Drinks brauchen eine knappe Stunde. Etwas müssig für ein Hotel dieser Klasse. Man läuft viel durch den Dreck.

Het attente personeel, de mooie kamers en de ligging van het resort

Very unique concept with a bold vision. A slice of rugged paradise

Lack of ac was a killer as were the mosquitoes

Es un sitio muy bien concebido para la zona. Ideal para descansar

Beautiful location, very peaceful and quiet.

The access road from the town is definitely steep and washed out in parts. Be careful if you rented a car with low clearance!

Der tolle Ausblick und das sehr freundliche Personal

Leider war die Straße vom Hotel mit dem Auto etwas schwer befahrbar.

Super hôtel, équipe accueillante, lieu magique au milieu de la nature - très paisible et isolé, mais finalement à proximité de la ville et de la plage, donc super pour se balader. Lieu super ressourçant. Il est dommage de ne pas avoir accès à du thé / café en illimité - je comprends qu'il n'y ai pas de machines dans les chambres pour les questions écologiques du lieu, mais je pense qu'un accès au café et thé gratuitement permettrait de palier à cela, car pour le coup chaque demande est payante. Mis à part cela, j'ai vraiment adoré et rêve d'y retourner.

Si eres amante de la naturaleza te va a encantar. Es una experiencia, incluido el check in con su ritual, el recepcionista muy amable. Pasamos 2 noches suficiente

Para los precios que manejan en el restaurante (iguales que en París, ahí vivimos), el servicio en el restaurante podría mejorar. Comimos todo en el hotel y mi novio se intoxicó. Estamos seguros fue una pizza de camarón con pulpo (recomendación del recepcionista) Lo comentamos en la recepción y también festejábamos nuestro aniversario por lo cual esperábamos algún gesto pero solamente la mesera nos dijo “feliz aniversario”. No pudimos cenar la última noche ya que mi novio estaba vomitando. Si te dan miedo los insectos y arañas no es para ti. El que no tenga aire acondicionado en enero es tolerable pero no imagino en verano. Las habitaciones tienen muros con hoyos entre la naturaleza y habitación los cuales me parece se podría mejorar con un mosquitero

Tout ! Superbe expérience : chambre sublime, lit très confortable, vue à couper le souffle, très bon réseau wifi sur toute la propriété, personnel très sympathique et attentionné, piscine et parties communes très propres et bien décorées, les restaurants et les bars sont très bons. Etc. Nous avions hâte de revenir !

Rien. Les chemins qui mènent à l’hôtel pourraient être améliorés / entretenus pour faciliter l’accès. Mais je suppose que cela fait partie du charme de Mazunte.

Cocolia truly exceeded our expectations. The lodges and the surroundings are even more beautiful than the photos. The staff is super friendly and relaxed. If you're thinking about splurging for a few nights, this place will absolutely be worth it.

Just Beautiful

Nothing

Beautiful estate, with rooms in the middle of nature. You can really rest well here. Service was top notch. They went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant.

The roads leading up to the property are a bit tricky, especially at night, but that’s something that can be easily overcome.

Cocolia has an amazing location in the middle of the jungle. The bungalows are beautifully organized and create a unique atmosphere. The staff was outstanding and the manager was super kind in helping us with transfers and other stuff.

Nothing

La vue de la chambre est exceptionnelle

Rien! Conseil: venez en 4x4 jeep

Amazing. Nature and stillness

El diseño, la ubicación en medio de la selva, el personal muy amable, muy recomendable

La dificultad del acceso en vehículo propio

The most special place overlooking the ocean high up. Very secluded and gorgeous. In natura but very luxurious

Nothing

Excelente atención del personal, la comida del restaurante buenísima y el constante contacto con la naturaleza es lo mejor!

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.

We knew this going in, but it’s not very convenient to get in and out of town or to the beach, but this wasn’t an issue for us. The road in would be difficult in a normal car- if you’re renting, make sure to get an SUV!

Hôtel fabuleux ! Nous recommandons cette expérience en pleine nature tout en gardant un confort et un service haut de gamme. Employés très gentils et à l'écoute, lieu magnifique, très propre. L'accès est en effet rudimentaire mais avec notre Jeep, nous n'avons eu aucun problème. Nous avons également loué un quad directement à l'hôtel, très pratique pour visiter la côte et les plages. Merci nous reviendrons si nous le pouvons !

The pictures look nice, but totally uncomfortable. The yoga place and the small pool are good.

My mistake was to not fully read the negative reviews. Please, read other testimonials before booking. The first comments on Booking were that the place is amazing, but far from reality, those reviews don't cover the whole experience. The road to arrive to the place is uphill and hard rough, not good for sedan cars. I missed to read that the place doesn't have A/C to have a fresh room, so I was mostly sweating all the time inside the room. The ceiling fan made too much noise and it certainly did not help to improve the temperature. I had to put a fan inside the bed to refresh, otherwise the mosquito net impedes the air coming through if the fan is outside. The mosquito net does help to reduce bugs coming in, but it was complicated to keep it closed, it needs some Velcro. Plus, if you wake up in the middle of the night to go to the toilette, it is uncomfortable to open it to go outisde.The wall next to the main door is made of bricks that has spaces open to the outside, so obviously bugs can come in from that place. I had some ants walking, and a small spider next to the hand washer. Also a cricket jumped from the main courtains. If you have light sleep, the bugs sound at night will disturb your sleep. The big pool is next to the restaurant, but personally, I won't feel comfortable swimming next to it. At the restaurant I asked for an Horchata with Cacao, that thing tasted like dirty water, the waiter just mentioned that it is a prefabricated powder and offered to change it for a chocolate which was way better. That must be removed totally. We booked for 4 nights, but decided to leave after the third night. I did not got a reimbursement of the pending night. They were "open to negotiate" to reimburse only one night of my friends' booking. I mentioned that my reservation was separate from my friends, and since I am only staying 3 nights, 3 nights is what I should be charged for.

El entorno es muy bonito y muy bien integrado, la playa mermejita es un paraiso

It was very beautiful and great value for money! Lovely staff, especially Abi! The shower!!! Good food included the corn chips and guacamole, pancakes, crusted fresh fish. The hot cacao! Loved the welcome drink.

You are very at one with nature and so there are a lot of bugs - nothing the hotel can do but just beware that the bugs can impede relaxation. Food was a bit hit or miss

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.

It was a little more jungle than we anticipated. We knew the rooms were open, but didn't expect huge crickets in all our clothes, seeing tarantulas and scorpions in our room. We kept everything zipped up in our suitcase as to avoid critters. It was also a little further from town than we'd thought. The road up from town was very bad --so bad that taxis would not drive up it, but would drive all the way around the back way instead. We did walk down to Mermejita Beach, but it was very bleak and you cannot swim there.

This place is so perfect, it’s hard to describe in words. Not only does it look like something out of a design magazine, but it also makes you feel deeply connected to the surrounding nature—nature that is fully respected and remains the true protagonist of the stay. Despite being “lost in the forest,” it offers an incredible number of facilities, making it comfortable even for those who may not be used to being so close to nature. My favorite part was the sound of the ocean throughout the day and night. The restaurant is excellent and reasonably priced. The hosts are super nice and welcoming—Abi, in particular, really made us feel taken care of. I honestly can’t think of a single thing that could be improved. Can’t recommend it enough!

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

Highly recommend a 4x4 to get up the hill. We don’t mind taking a risk but it was very uncomfortable to get up the hill in a normal car. Everything about the hotel was perfect though

Great relaxing vacation, barely left the hotel, highly recommend. The room and hotel grounds were beautiful and comfy, in touch with nature, but the best part was 10/10 service! The manager Isidro and all the staff really made sure we enjoyed our stay, they were more than accommodating, felt like a customized experience. Food also good, pool areas relaxing

Nothing - beach access about 10 min walk, town can be accessed

Incredible welcome from the manager, Every member of staff was amazing, in particular Jahir and Isidro! The food was out of this world, try the crispy tacos! Incredible views! We intended to stay 1 night and within the first hour extended our stay. 1000% recommend, this place is heads and shoulders above the competition!

We had a visitor one evening (scorpion in the bathroom). This was expertly handled by Jahir so no issues and a bit of wildlife was to be expected.

This place is absolutely beautiful. If you want an amazing few days in paradise, book this place. All the staff are so great. A perfect little.holiday treat

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.

Magical stay in the hillside above Mazunte, gorgeous views over the beach and sea. It was really private with individual bungalows, each with a lovely balcony and a shower with a great view. You could star-gaze from bed, and I really loved the decor. The restaurants were amazing, I particularly loved the Mezcaleria for sunset cocktails. We did morning yoga in the Shala and loved the seawater pools. A lovely relaxing venue, for a chill moment. The staff were so attentive and easy to use WhatsApp to pre book taxis and order the coffee ritual (highly recommend) to our room in the morning. Thank you so much to Isidro and team for a wonderful stay.

One of our favourite hotels to date - beautiful facilities and even better service. Highly recommend.

Friendly staff, easy communication via whatsapp for all your requests. The peaceful area and amazing bungalows Lovely restaurant and bar and amazing pool areas. This was one of the best places I’ve ever stayed!

Earplugs required for light sleepers

The property does really deliver on the promise of being immersed in the nature of the Oaxaca coast. We woke up every morning to the sound of the waves crashing on the beaches below, and every day we saw pods of dolphins in the sea in front of us. The staff were accommodating and friendly, and took care of our every need. Food and drink prices a bit higher than what you would pay in town but still reasonable. The pool is also great - it's long enough that if you do sport swimming you can get some proper laps in.

Just be aware that you are really in the nature - if you are sound sensitive, the sound of the crickets at night can be quite loud. My partner needed earplugs to sleep comfortably. Also not really a negative, but just to be aware the road leading to the property is quite rugged, so you will probably not want to go back and forth very often if you are staying here.

Cocolia is an absolutely gorgeous property and being surrounded by nature created the perfect sanctuary of peace. During our 7 day stay, the staff and management was incredibly attentive, warmly welcomed us for our morning coffee and the chef prepared outstanding daily specials. We just LOVED everything about out visit. Sid (who manages the property) went over and beyond to ensure that we had an amazing stay. We can’t wait to come back!

All.

Nothing.

It was beautifully appointed but too few light sockets, lights, shower should open up to the trees and a lot of trimming would help the greatest thing about the place- the views. It was o far up the hill from town unless clients are going just for romance and/or solitude. It had many cool spots for yoga, meditation and exercise and the welcome with Zapotec smile was lovely but felt a tad forced. The staff was wonderful but the clients that were there were when I was were quite cold.

Like and could improve are both up above.

A wonderful private and quiet hotel. A short walk to the beach, although not a swimmers beach. Staff were very friendly and Isidro the manager was amazing. Always there to help and organise any trips. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Excellent service.

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.

There was absolutely nothing to dislike, we had an incredible experience.

cleanliness, art deco vibe, stunning views

See my other review. So good that I came back

Nothing

Cocolia is a magical place. I spent two nights here and returned for 3 more a week later. It is the perfect place to relax and unwind in nature. Isidro was an amazing host and could not do enough for us. We felt very welcome and will return one day. There is nothing quite like it

Nothing really. Everything was great

We loved the place and the concept so much that we extended our stay here. Cocolia is a magical boutique hotel with bungalows in the jungle. It’s very private nature oasis, a great getaway from Mazunte town. The terrain is very well maintained, clean, but at the same time there is much respect for the nature. We got the room no 10 (ocean delux room) and the view, as well as the sound of the ocean, was unbelievable. The room is specious and has beautiful design. Taking shower with the view of the Marmejita beach was unreal. There is a pool to relax and the town is 25 min up and down walk, but is was fine for us get some sport after being lazy all day :) also, you can go directly to playa Marmejita (10 min walk), which is the most beautiful pristine beach in the area in our opinion. The restaurant is serving tasty food and all the staff are very hardworking and attentive, big bravo to Isidro, the manager, who is amazing host. A highlight of our trip! Thank you Cocolia family.

Beautiful accommodation and very friendly staff.
