Cocobelle Resort

Overall, for the price we paid, our stay was pleasant. But when we arrived, they told us our reservation had been cancelled, but we had never cancelled. It wasn't much of a problem, because they had a room for us. This hotel has many buildings, but our location was 1 block from the ice machine, so that was inconvenient. We were given 2 keys but only 1 worked, but we only needed 1 key.

Wonderful! We arrived early morning after cruise, 8:30am and the room was ready and we were able to check in that early! Very accommodating, friendly. Fantastic location, 2 blocks from beach and bus stop #11 bus takes you right downtown Las Olas Blvd.

Nice that they responded to my email request for a second floor, quiet room which I got. Room is large and spacious; kitchen too although I didn't use it. Easy walk to the beach; this area thankfully is the non "honky tonk" part of the beach, so it tends to be quieter. Minuses include: 1) there was a name change to the hotel that wasn't part of the reservation, so looking for the name didn't help as opposed to having the address handy. 2) there was no prior indication to register half a block away at one of the other hotels. Found this out by asking other guests. 3) the person who checked me in said there were enough spaces for parking every night, which actually wasn't true. Half the time I parked on the street, which didn't have restrictions. Perhaps unnecessary to pay the $10 parking fee. 4) and the internet access address listed in the room was not exactly accurate, so it took me a small amount of time to figure it out. 5) and I know this is a bit picky, but I ran out of paper cups in my room, and one morning the cup leaked as I was drinking my tea. A slight upgrade in the quality of paper cups would be great. Also, a mug or two would have made a nice impression.

We needed somewhere to stay overnight before our cruise that was both affordable and didn't mention some sort of insect in the first 3 reviews. Our cab dropped us off and another guest had to explain that check-in was actually 2 buildings down (to the right, it's well lit) at a hotel by a different name (tranquilo) Once we figured it all out, it was a clean and affordable place to stay for the night and we felt safe. Bring a sleep mask, the outdoor lights are very, very bright and the blinds don't do much to block it from coming in. The air conditioner was very loud, but was nice to have. Employees were just ok, but not total jerks. Getting a cab the next morning was a mission for at least 12 of us, call early. Overall, clean and affordable stopover before our cruise.

The bed was the best! The bright and clean decor was nice. The bathroom upgrades are great. Could use a new shower head but the design was nice. No ice machine on site, but there is laundry and ice 2 buildings down at the sister hotel Tranquilo.
