We stayed one night ( Saturday Night) 1/17/2009. The place is run down and the bathroom jaccuzi tub spit out rust or something in the tub as I was filling it up. The walls are thin and you can hear your neighbor. If your room is over the pool - b

This place has not been renovated for many years. Their website is fraudulent (there is nothing luxurious about this place) as well as RCI misleading rating of a silver crown. At 1st glance I thought the rooms were ok even though the hallways smelle

Just as previous posts stated, the place was down right creepy! We had reservations, it looked nice online, however when I saw the room I gladly paid the cancellation fee and left!

I've stayed at the Coconut Malorie twice before and although I believe the service could be better for the price (usually around $270-300+ a night in the summer), I can't say that I had the same terrible experience the other two reviewers had. The room was nice and seemed clean. Our rooms overlooked the swimming pool and a limited view of the bay (which I never thought of as a "smelly swamp"). There is a nearby restaurant/bar accessible by a boardwalk type bridge that overlooks the bay and is very beautiful. Compared to a lot of other cheesy, old hotels in the area that charge the same rate, I didn't think it was bad at all. I'll be there in July 2007 and hope I don't need to revise this!

I went there to get away from everyday stress, like the loss of a family member and as I returned to my room after going to a local mart I received a telemarketing call from the front desk! He was offering a trip worth $1000 somewhere. When I tried to refuse he kept pushing me into the offer!

Next, the room was creepy. It had tile floors! I thought I was in a basement walking on chilly floors! Oh what bay view? All I saw was a lot of traffic and noise that kept me up all night!

Oh and if the person above you decides to wheel their suitcase across the floor at 5:45 am you will be awake with them, sounds great on the tile floor.

There was a throw rug, it was filthy. Need I say more, no I did not enjoy this visit.

I wish we had read the reviews before booking this place. We were passing through OC on a business trip, and reserved a room for one night online. The low price should have tipped us off...

We felt like leaving as soon as we got there, but figured since it was only for one night it wouldn't matter.... in reality we should have slept in the car.

Upon arrival, they require you sign a document with a whole list of 'rules' to be obeyed or there would be penalties to pay. We stay at a lot of hotels on business, and never have problems as we are model guests. We even put up with a lot and don't complain. But I was a bit suspicious nonetheless. And rightly so, as my credit card was charged over $500 extra after we left. Repeated calls back to the hotel went unanswered.

They keep telling us the Manager is not there today. Messages on his/her answering service are not returned. We have yet to hear the explanation for the extra charges, even though we left the place in better shape than the way we got it. (btw, and we don't steal towels or anything else from hotels... that's lame and we don't want their stuff). We now sincerely beleive they routinely rip people off as often as they can.

As for the condition of things, we must agree with the other negative comments about the hotel:

The two elevators are verrrry slow and shaky. No bellhop service to take our luggage up. The hallways are hot and smelly. The carpets are old and stained, and the walls look like they haven't been painted in years.

The room was dirty and musty smelling. Dirty carpets and floors (our feet turned black). Mold in the bathroom and stagnant water was in the tub. The bed was uncomfortable and worn out. The thermostat kept resetting itself to 85 degrees. TV remote did not work, nor did the alarm clock. I asked for a wakeup call and never got it (checkout is at 10AM).

The balcony is too small to sit on, overlooking a dirty swamp between the hotel and the nearby 'island'. Noise from the nightclub on that island goes on till about 3:00AM, with people yelling, screaming and carrying on. Taxis buzz in and out to shuttle crowds back and forth throughout the night.

The view of the sunset was nice, but with all the noisy seagulls, birds and smelly swamp it was not worth it.

The staff is nonresponsive and of no help.

So if you still think this might be a nice place to stay, take your chances. When they bill you over $600 for a nights stay at this dump, don't say we didn't warn you.

We will never be back and recommend that the place be avoided at all costs.

The Coconut Malorie Resort is a very fancy hotel offering luxury accommodations to those lucky enough to be able to afford it. The decor in the rooms is amazing. The rooms are very large with nice balconies attached. There are kitchens and jacuzzi ...
