"We had a wonderful stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was excellent. Rooms were clean and a good size. Shower was a rainfall. Pools were fantastic and had options for all your needs. Always able to find a shaded area for seating."

Tortuga Verde Glamping

8/10 Good
"The place is pretty cool! A unique stay. Definitely not a great place if you are planning on working since their WiFi is not the best. They do have a small coworking space but the lighting is kinda bad and bad WiFi as well. Aside from that, everything was great! The plunge pool was nice, the rooms nice and clean, and breakfast was small but good."

The Palms At Coco Beach

The Palms At Coco Beach

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed our stay at The Palms at Coco Beach. It’s a great location, close to the black sand beach and near the main road with plenty of shops, locals, and tourists around. The rooms are very basic and a bit dated, and our smaller room with two beds was quite small, including the bathroom. Don’t expect a Hilton or anything fancy, but if you’re mainly there to shower, get dressed, and sleep, it works just fine. The staff were super friendly, the pool was always clean, and the complimentary breakfast from 7–10 a.m. was a great bonus. Overall, it’s a simple, no-frills place in a convenient location if you plan to spend most of your time out enjoying the area."
