This place would have the potential to be one of the nicest places in town, but: Hard to find sleep: It is very (!) noisy, not only because of the very noisy neighbours and their constantly barking dog, the hotel itself has thin walls, wooden planks where you hear every footstep, the door of our room also had a window...

very cute little B&B right on the water, only a 5 minute walk into town but its far enough from the core that you can actually swim in the water. Awesome breakfast with more food then you could ever eat & good coffee. Cute clean rooms with good quality mattresses and linens. Fridge & freezer available as well as laundry... More

We loved Cocomo! The room and bathroom were small and didn't have amenities some places have, but you are right on the water and the large deck is wonderful for breakfast and to relax. Doug was great and is from Ohio, so he speaks English. The staff were very nice and spoke or understood a great deal of English. My... More

We had a reservation via email including all credit card details but when we arrived the non-english speaking staff informed us that there was no room available. A secretary was called who did not know anything and was not helpful at all. We then had to look for another hotel. Needless to say that this cost us time and extra... More

This bed and breakfast is one of nicest places I have stayed for the money. Doug the owner is very nice and the entire staff is very accomodating. It is right on the ocean and has free kayaks to use and laundry service. You can walk to town. If there is a problem, Doug gets right on it. More

Cocomo by the Sea is a very cute waterfront B&B in Bocas. Its winning feature is the waterfront location with big wooden terrace/deck over the water - a great place to eat breakfast, and to laze reading a book and watch the world paddle by. The rooms I found to be 'ok'... I think they are aiming for the "shabby... More

We spent 4 nights here. The rooms are on the smallish side, but clean and comfortable. We only slept in the room, otherwise we were on the deck or doing other activities. Kayaks are available to use and water taxis will come right to the dock. Swimming off the deck and snorkeling trips easliy arranged. Located about a 5 minute... More

Doug, the owner, is really great! Friendly, helpful, open, really nice! However, the b&b needs a lot of work done... Not sure if it's the salt or what, but the rooms need some taking-care-of. The veranda is great with a water view, however, the rooms were depressing/ dark/ musty. We too were greeted by a cockroach in the shower. In... More

I loved it here. I visited in September 2011 and remembered I must make some recommendations! I was travelling on my own and it was a perfect choice. I made friends with the other travellers and even did a day trip with them one day. I wouldn't have wanted to be out of the town being on my own as... More

We had a reservation for a bit longer but couldn't go through with it. The doors have padlocks on them, which turned off my wife. It's a bit dingy and musty on the inside with the floor giving way slightly underfoot. This is more like a hostel than a b&b, not for a romantic get away. The owner is very... More
