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!

Just returned from our second stay here. Last time we fell in love with the food, staff and views and this time was exactly the same! The food is still excellent and the addition of the Caribbean night on Fridays was delicious. Christopher leads the team well and always has time for a chat. Special mention to Derrick, the hardest worker on the island, who literally never stops! Lisa, who I wanted to take home, the best martini maker! Finally, Tracy-Ann who made the perfect mimosas at breakfast. But all the staff work hard, with a smile and are pleased to see you. The views from the rooms and pools are stunning. It felt like we were home again. Read less

Special thanks to Christopher, Mellisa and Derrick, for your help and service! Food was its usual quality high, however some of the dishes had a little too much Soy sauce content at times? Bit petty that comment , but really difficult to find fault. Might be time to freshen up cabins , but overall a great place. Well done all !! Read less

We stayed at Cocobay for our honeymoon in Antigua and I would highly recommend it as a honeymoon destination. From the moment we arrived we instantly felt welcomed and relaxed. We had booked a Deluxe Pool Cottage but were generously upgraded to a Premium Pool Suite. Whilst we waited for our room we were offered lunch and welcome cocktails. The staff were unfailingly friendly from our arrival to our departure. They regularly checked in on us but were not intrusive and it felt like they really cared that we were enjoying ourselves. Our room was beautiful. The Premium Pool Suite is worth it for the outdoor bath tub and slightly larger deck area. The deck doesn't get a huge amount of sun but offered a welcome respite from the heat. The bedroom and bathroom were both clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The two pools - the Rafters pool and Sunset pool - offer beautiful settings for relaxing during the day. The view from the Rafters Pool in particular is quite unparalleled. Staff were on hand to provide drinks and snacks. The loungers were very comfortable and there was a variety of places to sit in the sun and shade. The main restaurant and bar are really beautiful and the range of cocktails was exceptional. The food is of a high standard and any adjustments we asked for were made without any problem. I am gluten free and didn't feel like I missed out - there was gluten free bread and pasta available and often a whole different selection of desserts for me to choose from. Overall, it was a truly wonderful experience and we would go back in a heartbeat. Read less

Have just recently returned from the most amazing time at Cocobay with my sister. The resort is absolutely fantastic! The views are so gorgeous and stunning…just such a beautiful island, scenic paradise with wonderful sunsets! Great food, cocktails/mocktails, music, entertainment - Caribbean night had such great vibes and the band were phenomenal! The best part of the resort and what makes it have such great vibes are the most lovely and welcoming staff! Cannot leave a review without giving a special mention to the following outstanding staff members in particular during our stay, although everyone was so nice and hospitable: Christopher Alexander, Chris who we met on day one and who showed us around…He is just one of the nicest, attentive and most personable people you will meet. Very kind and patient - he would take the time to speak with all guests daily. He is a consummate professional and an all-round multi-tasker, extremely efficient and does everything with a smile! Give him a promotion! Janine on front desk reception: again, super lovely, very efficient and reliable at dealing with all queries and requests. Always greeting us with a smile no matter what! Sascha at the coffee shop who made us great coffees as well as entertaining us with her great conversation and laughs! Jermaine and Mel S. at Rafters who greeted and took care of us during mornings, lunchtimes and dinners! Also Nariba at the front desk, Derrick at Rafters/Bar, Melinda at the bar - thank you all so very much! We would be grateful if you could please kindly convey our thanks to the staff members above, as well as the rest of the team! Thanks again for an absolutely fabulous time! Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone considering this resort and we are very much looking forward to going back soon in the near future! Read less
