My husband and I stayed at Cocobelle this past week for 6 nights. We had room 11 which is a 1 bedroom with pool view. I found the negative reviews completely unfounded and had a lovely experience. The resort is not large which means it was never crowded and always peaceful. Ernst checked us in at 11:30am, gave us our towels and told us about the area. He was very nice and accommodating. The room was the big surprise. It was filled with modern furniture, a great kitchen with everything we needed for cooking meals and plenty of space for the two of us. Housekeeping came every other day to dump the garbage cans and give us fresh bathroom and kitchen towels. The pool was great and looked beautiful at night. As for location maybe it's because I'm from NYC but I found so much within walking distance. It was only a few blocks (5 mins) to the beach and maybe 10mins or so to a restaurant or bar. As for the neighborhood anyone who says it's shady is being unfair. The area is filled with motels so there are always people walking around. We walked at all times of the day and night and never felt unsafe. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

We spent one night at the Cocobelle prior to our cruise that departed from Ft. Lauderdale. We selected Cocobelle because of their most reasonable price. The room was decently clean and comfortable. We didn't have a car so we had to walk everywhere. Most restaurants and shops are a good 20 minute walk from the site. If you are looking for a bargain price on a decent place to stay, this is an acceptable place. I just wish the location was better.

My husband and I stayed here this past week. We were in Fort Lauderdale for my son's college graduation. I searched for days to find an affordable place in the city for us to stay. I wanted at least a 1 bedroom suite that included a kitchen. We stayed in Rm 16 (a 1 bedroom suite). A double bed was in the living area for my father who also was with us.
I booked this resort based on the reviews on Trip Advisor. What a great find! It was so affordable. The room was very comfortable and felt more like a home than a sterile hotel room. The pictures on the website of room 16 are exactly what the room looks like.
The pool area is great and looks beautiful all lit up at night. You can tell the owners take great pride in their little resort. Upon entering the office, you are greeted within seconds. This happened every time we walked in. Whatever we needed- more towels, iron and ironing board, etc- was quickly and cheerfully provided.
We stayed for an entire week. My mom and sister came a few days after we arrived and stayed for 2 nights in room 4- a double room. What a lovely room. The bathroom was especially nice!
All of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay. If you want an affordable, quaint, clean, and quiet place to stay- the Cocobelle Resort is perfect!

We celebrated our mother's 90th birthday and had a wonderful time. The resort was so clean and everything was perfect. Absolutely no complaints! Thank you.
