Incredibly friendly and made our vacation. One of the owners Ilana was so nice to us. XTC and Flying Cloud which is a scam and where we had our bookings had not said they were closed down for business and stolen our money. 

Luckily Ilana was quick to help us. Beside offering us accomodation she was so nice and kind to us. She handled everything we needed during our stay and even drove us to the next town when we had to leave.

Ilana really saved us on the worst day of our vacation.

Incredibly friendly and made our vacation

November 2023 we were guests at the Costa de Cocos resort in Xcalak. Upon arrival, after a long hesitation, we were welcomed by the manager, who initially just left us waiting. He assigned us a worn out, not cleaned cottage. Direct next to the house were ruins of other houses. After having complaind to the owner, we were assigned a better accommodation. The resort  clearly suffered from the Covidperiod. During our stay of several days, we were impressed by the laziness of the manager, who was virtually invisible and almost did not get up from his couch inside the restaurant. Fortunately, much was made up for by the restaurant bartender/waiter …. He shows everything what makes him to become a good successor to the current manager.
Ultimately, he ensured that we look back on our stay at Cosa de Cocos with a good feeling. Joost and Marion

Basic accommodation, only a fistfull of guests. Friendly staff, but extremely lazy manager

We spent a couple of great days at Costa de Cocos. The cabañas are simple, but seem to have been recently updated and had everything we needed. The staff was wonderful: friendly, funny, and obviously interested in making sure we were happy. The food was really good, and so nice just to roll out of bed and have a delicious breakfast made to order. We were not in Xcalak to fish, but to hang around, enjoying the quiet and beautiful place. Cocos is a perfect spot for that.

Perfect place to chill in Xcalak!

Do not be fooled by their website.  This might have been a nice place 15 years ago, but is now in serious disrepair.  When the wind came up at night we tried to close the storm shutters and they fell off in my hands.  By morning the entire room was covered in sand, including the bed.  No hot water in the bathroom.  There is no craft beer or spirits as advertised, and the menu is completely different than the one online.  Incredibly overpriced for what is offered.  We had planned to be there for a week, but fled after 1 night.  Talked to 2 other couple that week that had done the same thing.  Can't recommend anything about this place.

Not at ALL what is advertised!

Xcalak is a quiet fishing village away from the touristy areas. I enjoyed my stay here the most opposed to other places in Mexico. Costa de Cocos has a great restaurant and very nice and comfortable places to stay for a reasonable price. The one thing I didn't like was that the water to shower is salty and not so clean. If you want to clean diving equipment I recommend doing this at the nearby dive center, where you'll probably do your diving as well. The reason I am giving five stars is also because of the amazing and kind staff. People say that all the time about a lot of places and I feel they are often not able to distinguish between people seeming friendly because they want to cash in their tips or people who genuinely appreciate you. The staff of Costa de Cocos definitely made a good impression on me as did most people in Xcalak. Really a little paradise to be in and very suited for diving and fly fishing.

Great location with very friendly staff

Didn't stay here but stopped to eat a couple times. Probably the go-to restaurant for tourist in xcalak if Leaky Palapa is closed, which it was at the time of our visit.   Best place to meet other travelers and closest thing to a night life in xcalak.  Note that the local brew is not always available so don't come here specifically for that or you may be disappointed.  I prefer the coconut fish over the coconut shrimp.  We actually prefer eating at Sylvia's but they have awesome server here at Cocos who goes by Willie.  He alone makes it worth a stop; a smiling, happy and attentive employee.  Would definitely return.

Great restaurant

I traveled from Cancun south along the coast staying at different locations from a Penthouse in Playa, to a private home in Mahahual, but the best place was Costa de cocos due to the attention of their staff and comfortable bed in #9 cabin. Thank you Pepe, Shaggy, Alfredo and Ariel for making my trip memorable for my family and friends.

Small part of paradise

We just returned from a week of fly fishing at Costa de Cocos.  This was my second trip to Costa de Cocos.  Our room was very comfortable.  House staff cleaned it daily while we were fishing.  The restaurant was exceptional offering a combination of pizza, fish entres' in addition to traditional Mexican dishes.  Our trip was all inclusive of meals, drinks and fly fishing.  The fishing was slow a couple of days due to wind direction as a result of a hurricane.  The rest of the days fishing was excellent.  Rueben, our guide, is very experienced and put us on many bone fish daily.  We also had shots at permit and tarpon multiple times.  One tarpon was landed.  Having fished many lodges world wide, I recommend Costa de Cocos.  It a quality lodge, has great guides, at a very reasonable cost.

week of fly fishing

My buddy Brian and I just wrapped up our 2nd trip to Xcalak and Costa De Cocos.  The variety of fishing is great, the guides are top notch, and the lodge is terrific.  The food, staff, and atmosphere cant be beet.

Great week of fly fishing

I went out with Ruben, a seasoned local Xcalakian. 6-8 years experience. This is not the best known llcompany for fly fishing but they have a nice Resort and bar-restaurant on the water.

I booked a trip three days in advance and we went after bonefish. I fished only one day and landed 14 bonefish and lost several others. Ruben was excellent and spoke good English.

The hard east winds on the ocean side made it impossible to fish off shore so we had to go through the channel (separating Mexico from Belize) and into the protected bay. Huge expansive areas of hard light sand flats, some of the most incredible bonefish water I've ever seen.

The bones, like most in this area, including Belize, are small. Most of the fish were 12-15". But it was fun to rack up some numbers.

They have a new fly fishing manager whose very knowledgeable and is sincerely interested in your skill level and will tailor trips accordingly.

All in all a very we'll run professional guide outfit with very nice cabanas in a beautiful ocean setting.
