The proximity to West Ends attractions and the serenity of the resort is second to the commitment and pride your host(s), Ron and Bonnie, take in ensuring that thier guests enjoy all that the Island has to offer. Thank you both for the hospitality and dedication that you continue to share.
Hope to see you soon,

My wife and I stayed at Cocolobo for a week in the Keyhole room. The facilities are aging a bit (some rust from the nearby ocean, a little missing grout between tiles in the bathroom), but quite functional. The shower was spacious and always had warm water. I don't like hot humid weather, but we just used the ceiling fan and never turned on the AC. There is plenty of closet and storage space for unpacking. There is also a mini-fridge in the room which is nice for keeping food cold. The closet has a small safe that wasn't big enough for my laptop, but fine for keeping passports, credit cards, etc.

The speakers on the included iPod dock/radio weren't very good (I took an audio cord to plug my laptop into it for watching movies). The speakers worked but sounded like they had been overblown. Clean drinking water is available in the breezeway between rooms. Cocolobo is in a very quiet location, and noise was never a problem. There is a bit of road construction going on to put in a sewer line, so the walk into West End can be a little muddy if it's rained hard (West End itself has the same problem). The deck in front of the bar has a hose that we used to rinse our feet and wash the salt water off of our dive/snorkel gear. We went diving at West End Divers, which is a 5-10 minute walk away. There might be more convenient dive shops to Cocolobo.

We didn't end up using the pool since the water was a bit on the cool side. The breakfast was always good - fruit, granola, cornflakes, yogurt, fresh squeezed orange juice and a hot plate that was different each day. We are vegetarian, and had no problem with the breakfasts since most of them were vegetarian anyway. The main bar/breakfast area has free WiFi Internet. I could just barely get reception for it in the front corner of our room on my laptop.

We slept with the sliding glass door open for the nice sea breeze. However, there are several friendly cats on the premises. One night we woke up to one eating a lizard in our room, and another night we awoke to a different cat on our bed. The cats didn't return after we shoo-ed them out, though.

And of course Ron and Bonnie were super nice and helpful. They arranged an airport pick-up and drop-off that was very convenient for $20 each way.

This place is amazing. Boutique is not the word. I don't even know what to call it. Hearty pine lodges that could be on a ski mountain or deep into Montana placed just 50 feet from the rocky shores!

If you like the slow pace of tropical island life, personal service and peace and quiet come here! This is a place for adventurous types, though. Roatan is not Hawaii or Cabo. There are bugs, there is mud, there is rain. This is not Cocolobo's doing. If you find walking though a mini rainforest then down a quiet residential road to your dinner in town with a flashlight fun, this is for you! I found the walks the best part!

The rooms are great, like a very upscale cabin. Air Conditioning, Hammocks out front. Hot and cold water. Mini fridge for snacks or cokes. Fresh drinking water too. My girlfriend LOVED watching the bioluminescence from the waves breaking on the coral just feet from our porch.

The main building is where you will find the small bar, living room and breakfast, not to mention sun-deck with pool. Three of the four walls fold open to let in the breeze and the view. Ron and Bonnie will serve up drinks, and GREAT conversation while the local cleaning ladies deliver an AMAZING local breakfast every morning. (Different each day!)

If you don't mind a little walk, and enjoy REAL island style adventure STAY HERE!

PS, The whole island has some gnats that bite. A quick shot of bugspray will fix this each morning and after a dive.

Just returned from 10 days at Cocolobo and wanted to say what a great time we had. This was our 4th or 5th stay at this resort and as usual it was very relaxing. It was GREAT to have only a 30 second walk to Atlantic Divers in the morning after a relaxing breakfast. They are literally right around the corner, so you don't have to hurry. Thanks again Ron, Bonnie, the Staff, Coco and of course Little Lobo. G & T
