From the first e-mail to arrival Dorothee was very friendly and accommodating.
We loved this little resort out of the way of the Mega non-personal
hotels! Nice neighborhood within walking distance to the beach and many restaurants.
It was like staying with Family, anything you needed was at your fingertips!
I will be returning to the Cocobelle every time I visit Fort Lauderdale.

I've been meaning to write a review for a while, but never got around
to it until now. My wife and I stayed at the Cocobelle in late February (2007), and enjoyed every second of it. Marx was very professional, friendly and helpful - having never been to Ft. Lauderdale before, he pointed out some great restaurants and things to do. The resort is small ... which to me, was perfect. The people that stayed there when we were, almost felt like family. We enjoyed a few cocktails at night by the pool together and shared in some great stories! Name another resort where you do that with perfect strangers!

The location is great, easily walking distance to the water taxi, beach, Sun Trolley. It's a bit of a hike if you want to hit the mall or bars on the strip. But for $10 call the bike taxi ... it's fun and they are "right there" when you call them. (Obviously we didn't rent a car when we were there).

I would 100% recommend the Cocobelle Resort to anyone traveling to Ft. Lauderdale. We will definetely stay there again the next time we travel to Ft. Lauderdale.

We found this place to be perfect in every way. We had a one bed apartment. Everything was spotlessly clean, the apartment was tastefully furnished and extremely well equipped. The bed was so comfortable we had to force ourselves out of it in the mornings. There were nice little touches provided that I would not have expected from a small establishment, such as tea towels, washing up liquid, coffee, creamer and toiletries (shampoo and soap). Also we were provided with big fluffy beach towels not the normal old towels, which used to be room towels. The management genuinely care about the property and their guests and were extremely helpful and unintrusively friendly.

The pool area was beautiful and very well cared for and maintained. A barbeque pit is provided. It is a friendly place and most nights we saw guests and management chatting together by the pool, which would be great for a lone traveller and those who like to socialise with other guests.

The property is very safe and secure, the gate is locked at night and you have your own key to come and go as you please, the management and staff are around during the day. We had no problems leaving valuables in the room.

Parking is adequate and free.

There is no point in me posting candid photos because everything you see on the web site is accurate. There are no retouched or enhanced photos and they are totally up to date as is all the information shown.

The nearest places for breakfast are The Deck, Café Bluefish and Primantis.

If you are looking for the Hilton it’s opposite the beach, if you are looking for clean, comfortable, reasonably priced accommodation you will find it here.

What a jewel of a motel we felt like we were a guest in someone's home, a touch of Europe decorates the rooms. Having searched the internet we couldn't believe our luck in finding the Cocobelle. We had room#2 for our pre cruise, opened the door and I said OMG lovely furniture, ensuite, coffee maker, microwave, small fridge, and kitchen setup. Post cruise we were in room #4 with large separate bedroom, full stove living room and dining area. Extremely clean with all tile floors and good air conditioners. The Cocobelle is a two story with 16 units surrounding lovely pool and lush tropical landscape. Don't let the surrounding places fool you. You can checkout the rooms on their website. This is the place to stay. Best to have a car but free trolley and bus service closeby if you can walk at all. Visit the Bluefish for breakfast 8-10AM as well as lunch and dinner. We found this funky eatery bar 10 years ago Great pizza nearby.
