The hotel

This beautifully positioned adults-only resort has a range of individual pastel-painted cottages with some of the most spectacular views on the island. There's two plunge pools and two infinity pools, one perched on the cliff edge, and you'll find yourself relaxing here as soon as you see the view. The main restaurant is on three different levels and enjoys alfresco breezes, while Sheer Rocks restaurant offers delicious gourmet cuisine with individual booths for extra privacy all overlooking the beautiful bay. There's a 'Wellness Cottage' that offers a range of wonderful treatments. On either side of the bluff lie two beautiful beaches, with a third within walking (or kayaking) distance!

The Cocobay Resort and Staff are BEYOND WONDERFUL!!!! My husband and I had an extremely memorable trip!!! From the moment we stepped out of the airport into our private transportation arranged by Cocobay Resort we felt the love of the Island!!! Our room accommodations were BEYOND WONDERFUL. We stayed in a Premium Starfish Waterfront Pool Suite, the Starfish Waterfront Category Room, Green Fig!!! We were in HEAVEN!!! Prior to the trip I had reached out via email to the resort to ask questions, and set up resort extras, which included the Romance Package (I highly recommend it) along with the private transportation to/from the airport/resort, along with a private Island Tour that provided us with a wonderful day of seeing the sites, learning the culture and history, along with having a beautiful lunch. Let me tell you the communication and customer service provided by the resort even prior to the trip was OUTSTANDING!!! While on the property the front desk staff, bell staff, wait staff, and bar staff were OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! They were absolutely THE VERY BEST we have EVER had while traveling!!! The food/drink and service at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, to our private romantic dinner, to our floating breakfast were ALL SUPERB!!!! If you are looking for a place to relax, unwind, and enjoy a little romance this is definitely the place for you!!! We can't wait to return!!! Read less

What a fabulous hotel to celebrate both a 60th & 30th birthdays. This was my 2nd visit and our 1st choice for our family celebration holiday . It did not disappoint from the moment I booked directly with the hotel, which is such a easy and smooth process till the day we left. The front of house staff are excellent and knowledgeable always on hand to make recommendations . The resort is beautiful and the grounds are kept immaculately as are the rooms. The bedrooms are typical Antiguan bungalows and although the bathrooms could maybe do with a little update - it does not take away from the comfort . The food is excellent just the right portion size and choice and all followed up with excellent service. I have read some comments about slow service but I can honestly say we never experienced this . All staff were attentive , friendly and ready to help with dietary requirements and requests . Thank you Team Cocobay - you helped make memories that will last forever . Read less

We came to celebrate a birthday. The rooms are okay, it needs a little upgrade on quality of mattress, it’s not firm and you sink into the middle part. The food is exceptional, very vegetarian and healthy friendly! The beach and water is warm and crystal clear. The staff is friendly.

The bar closes at 10pm, so if you're looking for late night drinking, this resort is not for you. Staff was exceptional, food was great.

The bar closes at 10pm, so if you're looking for late night drinking, this resort is not for you. Staff was exceptional, food was great. Daily lunch and dinner menus are out for you to look at during breakfast, and if you don't like something, you can just let staff know in the morning so they can prepare. Read less
