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!

I had a wonderful massage overlooking the bay. It was fantastic. We took kayaks across the bay and the beach there is awesome. If you want to unwind, Cocobay is your place. If you want to party, not so much. Come here and relax and look at the amazing views. And don’t forget to tip your hostesses, they deserve every penny. Beach across the bay is better but views are better here. Gym is small but I didn’t come here to work out. Read less
