Great location with a true beach, away from crowded downtown area. I wish they had umbrellas or some type of movable shade, since there is less palm trees or cover. Food was great, just needs a bit more variety. Staff was friendly and so easy to go out and see the island.

We loved our stay! Loved everything about the hotel. Enjoyed the beach and pool. Lots of amenities near by. Parasailing, renting a side by side and going around the island, booking a boat tour to the keys. The staff are courteous and professional.

We have stayed at this property in the past and really liked it but this time we found the hotel to be quite rundown and things needed to be fixed. We have always loved the beach here but this time it was awful with lots of seaweed that wasn't being cleaned up, which in turn left a horrible smell like sewage. I did not swim once in the water because the smell was awful! Although the staff are amazing and food is very good I have to say the hotel itself needs major improvements and updating.

Hello good evening my dear, you are right there are some things that are quite deteriorated considering that we are in front of the beach with the salinity affecting us a lot, I want to inform you that we are adapting many things but we are starting with rooms that we are blocking and leaving them in Optimal conditions for its use, little by little until finishing with the entire hotel. I hope that on your next vacation you will find the hotel in perfect condition. The algae (sargassum) is a natural phenomenon that affects us throughout the island and if it is cleaned in the morning, it is only constantly reaching the shore, that is only seasonally, for example, it has stopped arriving and it is estimated that for the Monday the clean beaches are back. Thank you for your opinion and I hope you come back soon to serve you with our best service.

Response from BUENAS TARDES on May 20, 2023
Hello, good afternoonDear Mr. Jose, we regret not having met your expectations with the service of our hotel, although some points must be taken into account.1. If there was shampoo and soap, they are only in dispensers in the bathroom, we do not handle individual bottles because San Andres is a biosphere reserve, therefore the issue of plastics is very restricted and the hotel contributes to the ecosystem with this and other strategies in favor of the environment.2. Due to company policies, the bottle of water is only complimentary for the first night. This information is given at check-in upon arrival and the reception works 24 hours for any request.3. We have a Customer Service staff that addresses guests every morning in the morning and never presented any disagreement, much less a complaint to be able to solve it on time4. It's rare that I mention cockroaches since we don't have them at the hotel, because there is a very rigorous control on the issue of pests, however we are not exempt so we will do more control.We apologize in advance for all the inconvenience caused and hope to improve.

The only highlight of the property is that is has its own private beach. The rooms are old and poor conditions, no wifi connection available; our reservation was for 3 days but we left after the 1st night and looked for other option within the island. Luckily we found something more accommodating and better price. Cocoplum did not return our money for the 2 days we did not stay.

The hotel is very well situated, the activities/Tours they offer are great lots to do. Some of the staff were really nice and went over and beyond to make you feel welcomed. The condition of the rooms were deplorable and the noise due to room repairs really bad if you wanted to sleep a siesta you would not be able too.

I love this place, great views and great location. Its 10 mins away from where the majority of the hotels, restaurants and shops are. However, Rocky cay is close “, but I would take a boat or jet ski there. Saw someone barely made it back swimming from rocky cay. Take the tours to johhny cay and el aquario. You will need those water shoes fornthe coral reef. They sell those shoes for 15k pesos at the pier you leave out of for the tour. Good snorkeling gear us 30k. Tours are 50-70k pesos. There amazing. Its 25,000 pesos each way from and to the airport. Eat at “la regatta”, “donde franchesca”, “casablanca” and “captain mandy”. You have to rent a golf cart and drive around the whole island. Stop at hoyo soplador while driving around the gold cart. The gold cart cost 170k pesos from 9am-6pm. Possibly my best vacation.

Hotel is extremely old, only water available is ocean water. Bed, bathroom, everthing is worn out. Reception staff is friendly, waitress staff move at a snail pace. On our first night we sat down and waited 20 minutes to even be acknowledged eventhough there was only one other family in the restaurant. Staff is more interested in socializing. Bed and room filled with sand and sheets were stained. Food mediocre. Only good thing was the walking distance to tge beach. For what they are charging you would expect wayyyyy better. Would not recommend.

Cocoplum Hotel in San Andres
The hotel is on a beautiful beach with a nearby island that you can walk in the water to. The hotel itself is about a 3. The food and drinks were really good at the hotel restaurant. You could not drink the water from the sink and they did not bring water everyday. They offered free internet but it did not work well.

Pretty Hotel right on the beach
Amazing location right on the beach with amazing white sand. The hotel itself is pleasant and has nice AC, balconies, and they are really comfortable. A slight downside is that our room needed a few minor repairs but it really didnt get us down. We loved the place. Restaurant right on the beach, Nice reception staff, nice other tourists. Nice cocktails and we felt very safe. I only mention that as in the main town their was a slight edge towards tourists but nothing to get upset about. Some lovely friendly dogs walked down the beach with us and even came for a jog with us one morning. Dont be put off if you dont like Dogs they will not really disturb you and they are very sweet. They made our trip extra nice.

One of best places on SA to stay
One of the nicer beach hotels on the island, and there are not many of them. Food is pretty good, especially the ceviche and fish. Nice hammocks and beach dogs. Good family place. or good place to rent a golf cart and drive fro, far away from el centro so none of that noise and conjestion. Staff very nice and helpful.

Excellent beach but hotel needs some work
We stayed at Cocoplum for 6 nights for a rest over Christmas after travelling around Colombia for 2 weeks. We arrived in the evening so it was dark and couldn't really see what the hotel looked like properly. First impressions were of the less than happy receptionist who greeted us with a stony face. I did manage to get a little smile out of her at one point but it wasn't the warmest of welcomes! We had booked a standard double room - the room is basic but generally fine. The bed was creaky but comfortable (except when they used a fitted sheet as they never stayed on the mattress!). After staying in some amazing hotels in Colombia this one was a little disappointing but it wasn't awful but the hotel could definitely use some upgrading in places. The following morning we got a proper view of the hotel and the beach. It was christmas eve and the staff seemed a little happier that day! The beach is lovely and there were plenty of sunloungers to use. We made friends with Oscar, the bar man, who was an absolute delight! He always came over to say hello in the mornings and was happy to chat to us. We loved Oscar! After a week I think we had managed to win over all the staff and everyone seemed to be a bit cheerier. Whilst the hotel wasn't the best we stayed at, we did enjoy our time here and would probably go back (but would book a better quality room!)
