An absolute perfect stay and amazing location! Right by the beach with tons of incredible restaurants and shopping including art galleries with gorgeous local artworks for sale. The owner and the staff are among the warmest kindest humans I have ever met in a hotel setting and I truly enjoyed interacting and engaging with them. They serve the best juice here and the hotel itself is just lovely, naturesque and peaceful. I will definitely be back 💜

I had a wonderful stay at Cocolala Beach House. The rooms are large, comfortable beds, excellent shower. Breakfast was fantastic and you are only steps to the ocean. The staff are very friendly and helpful and I would love to come back one day.
Thank you for a great stay! So beautiful!

Great hosts and very friendly and helpful staff.
Easy check-in.
Property situated 50 meters from the beach, with the Eastern Africa dive center right around the corner.
Thank you for a lovely stay.

The property owner went above and beyond to make the stay as easy as possible. He arranged taxi’s, places to store luggage, and had a connection for anything you wanted to do. The property was just across from the beach and great spots to eat and drink! Would stay here again!

Home away from home
Cozy, welcoming and everything I needed - that’s my stay at Cocolala in a nutshell. Huge, clean and well equipped bedroom and bathroom. A peaceful hotel that is literally steps to a great swimming beach (you can swim seaweed free any time if day) restaurants, activities and shops. Huge hot breakfasts (I could never finish at one sitting). Hammocks in the garden for lazing around. Most of all Cora, Mohammed and Sebastian were gracious hosts. They gave me helpful recommendations for where to swim, local places to eat and the best prices for beach chairs. They connected me with a Budabuda (motorcycle taxi) so I could explore town. And all at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Cocolala. I’ll be staying there if I return to Zanibar.

Bra: Stort ljust familjerum. Skön säng.
Frukosten väl tillltagen med juice, kaffe/te, frukt, ägg enligt önskemål och ”dagens sötsak” som munk eller pannkaka. Rostat bröd och marmelader. Hade gärna velat ha en ostbit.
Mindre bra:Badrummet hade lite bakfall i duschen så vi fick skrapa golvet efter varje dusch. Vårat rum låg i mitten av en loftgång som gjorde att uteplatsen inte kändes så privat.

Förutom väldigt hård säng var allt toppen!
Supermysigt hotell riktigt nära stranden. Trevlig personal och gratis frulost varje morgon. Det enda som finns att anmärka på är de väldigt hårda sängarna, men annars var allt toppen
