Cobalt Coast Resort

We loved that this is an ocean front room and one of the places we dined was attached to the resort!

Such a nice hotel to stay in .. off of the main part of the island but still so close to everything. About 15 minutes from 7 mile beach and the main shopping areas. Very quiet and safe location, great diving dock if you have interest in that. Restaurant located at the bottom floor also!

Staying in a room just above a fantastic restaurant made this location convenient and enjoyable. The pier allowed access to the unique marine life in that area for snorkeling. The resort gave us the feeling of an Airbnb so no interruptions by staff. When we needed something like extra towels, it was handled immediately. The only thing that would have made it better would've been a microwave in order to heat up left overs.

Great location with onsite parking, lovely restaurant and fantastic snorkeling. Hope to visit again soon.

Pros: Diving instruction on-site Tasty restaurant on-site with friendly staff Right on the beach Bed is very comfy Public buses almost everywhere and very cheap ($2.50 USD/person to anywhere)and will stop anywhere they see you Room very nice and with the exceptions noted below There is a communal kitchen Property manager was very accommodating Cons: Cost extra for shampoo/toiletries/towels/more than 1 housekeeping a week Bathroom door hard to shut cause it's hung a little crooked Manager wasn't on-site most of the time we looked for her during the business hours (she could be contacted by phone, WhatsApp, and email though) Beach is rocky covered with urchins Water takes at least 2 minutes to get hot plus it's hard to pinpoint a decent temperature Bathroom light switch outside of bathroom Housekeeping didn't replace dirty glassware No phone or microwave in room Towel rack fell apart easily (and other fixtures loose)

Good but quirky This was a nice place to stay, gorgeous views and friendly staff. Be prepared for some unexpected quirks. For example, there was no deadbolt lock on the door, so no way to ensure that staff didn't enter while you were indisposed in the room. Our shower just kept getting hotter the longer it ran, regardless of the temperature setting, so I couldn't take a cool shower after getting sunburned. Same issue with regular water for filling a water bottle (or just having a glass of water), and no ice machine, so had to keep bothering the bar staff to fill up my water bottle. Somehow the fan in our room must have hit its resonant frequency, because we had it on the lowest setting but it would speed up to the highest over the course of a day, without us touching any controls. The restaurant tables are very close to the pool, so no privacy there for guests, but at least the bar staff will serve you at poolside. Also, onsite restaurant was nice but one of the most expensive we encountered on the island. Cobalt Coast was nice, just lots of little quirks that added up over our stay.
