Simple and clean. Good food and drinks. Super close to the ocean. If you’re going to El Paredon this is a good choice. No hot showers but it’s pretty hot outside all the time anyway. This place is a gem.

A perfect little spot for our two day getaway. Ac worked perfectly, the staff was friendly, the pool the perfect little spot to cool down and the beda confy (pillows a bit stiff for my taste, but survived). I liked the convenience of orsering drinks and breakfast from there and then we'd walk to town for lunch and dinner. Maybe a 10 minute walk on the beach from Cocori. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice but awful

Looks nice but if you’re happy without sleep beyond 1am (this is the time of typing this) they will play loud music at the bar - other guests will be disrespectful of your stay and you won’t get any sleep ! Ac works in the room - showers are ok (but cold) — rooms are comfortable (although you can sleep until the noise has stopped.

Great for a family.

Nice place to spend time with the family. Clean and good pool. It would be great to get Coen towels every day, perhaps we should have asked. Food and drinks are ok. We ended up going elsewhere for breakfast most mornings. We ended up buying a lot of bottled water everywhere in El Paredon, it would be great if they have waterfilters you can fill your bottle up with, like we saw in most places in Guatemala. The accommodation was good, comfortable beds, lots of fans as there is no airco, spacious.
