Difficult to compare the to as Merrill's is an AI property and Coco isn't

If they are seeking an inexpensive AI then Merrill's is a good fit, it's been a long while but stayed at II in a beachfront room. Nothing special but decent and for what we needed it worked well.

Not considering the AI option than Coco for sure. Nice large rooms, nice beach front with lots of shade, fridge in the room and just a well maintained property.
