My wife and I celebrated our one year anniversary here. We loved many things about our stay and have a few critiques: Location/ views: Incredible. The water is gorgeous and the dramatic mountain peaks in the distance make for an unforgettable trip. The ground are immaculate and well kept. Beautiful trees/ cacti/ foliage. Pool/ beach: Fantastic. There are two infinity pools that are perfect for taking in the scenery. The main beach that is connected directly to the resort is pretty but there is a reef close by which makes the swimming area a bit smaller. It is, however, great for snorkeling. It's also worth mentioning that this is a public beach, on which the locals partied quite hard on Sunday afternoon. I can't say I blame them... it's beautiful here! We made the 5 minute walk to Ffryes Beach which had more white sand and was a bit quieter. Room: Amazing. It's not a hotel... it's a private cottage. It really made us feel like we were on our own private island. The bathroom opens directly to the balcony for great views and open air. There is also a hammock on the balcony which was very comfortable. The bed is very comfortable and the air conditioning is strong. There were no TV's but the wifi works well. It was nice to cut down on our screen time for the week we were there. Food: If there was a buffet I would have given 5 stars. There is only one restaurant. You will go there for every meal, and you have to book lunch and dinner times. We found this bothersome, especially for lunch, as we wanted to do excursions and tours and not have to worry about missing our reservation. The food is tasty, but the portions are small and the service is very slow. To the resort's credit, they do have an option for paninis at lunch and afternoon snacks, but again these were slow and didn't have much variety. Our two recommendations to the resort would be to expand between-meal food offerings and consider adding a buffet option, at least for breakfast. Service/ staff: The friendliest resort I've been to. Everyone from the wait staff to the gardeners were pleasant and welcoming. It was a nice touch and gives both the resort and Antigua a great reputation. A special shoutout to Sandy and Jermaine for getting to know us and being awesome. Bonus activities: kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and sailing for free. Very laid back, first come first serve. We loved it. Read less

This is our second visit to Cocobay and it didn’t disappoint, from the beautifully decorated room and champagne on arrival to the welcome from Jermaine, Denise, Mel and Mr G. The food is excellent, even catering for a gluten and dairy intolerance with variations on the menu and personal desserts and the cocktails are delicious, especially Saskia’s rum punch. There were always plenty of sun beds available at the pools or the beach. The hotel is beautifully appointed on a headland between 2 bays with spectacular views, the rooms are not overlooked and are individual villas with balconies and most with private plunge pools. Cocobay is ideal for a romantic and relaxing holiday. Read less

My boyfriend and I were extremely satisfied, I can say that I absolutely fell in love with the hotel and the service. We both enjoy traveling and have visited several hotels, and I dare say that this is one of the best hotels when it comes to relaxing, the vibe of the hotel feels magical, all the workers very kind, helpful, and super nice, especially Janine, who took care of our well-being throughout our stay. The rooms are very comfortable and super private. The food is very good, and the drinks are spectacular. To be honest, I don't like repeating hotels, but I would definitely repeat this hotel.

If you’re looking to relax and destress this is the place to go! The food and service were amazing, supervisor Jeanine was awesome! She took care of our all needs and exceeded them. My husband and I went for a mini moon and could have not been happier, we will definitely be back!
