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!

Had 5 night stay would have gave it 5 stars but the bungalows could do with a refurbishment, but not that bad, all have great views from the balconies, beds have mosquito nets over them which were very good. All meals in the restaurant were excellent and also all were table sservice no buffet,nd the servers excellent and very friendly, in saying that all the staff were very friendly even the gardeners who all would acknowledge you. The 2 pools were maybe on the small side but were OK for just a leisurely swim then back to your chair to enjoy the sunshine, you could also go down to the beach which had chairs, some of the beach was stoney to get into the water and some seaweed but the water was warm, they were some locals on the beach but mostly stayed at one end except at the weekend when there were in large numbers but had no problems with them. The hotel is out of the way if you want to go anywhere you had to get taxi which we did for a trip into St John's but would not recommend going there the pavements are very dangerous you had to watch your footing, it had a cruise ship in so was busy with the passengers of the ship,would not like to be there if there were 3-4ships in Merc Read less

We had the best time on our Honeymoon at Cocobay! The staff was amazing! So fun and so nice, they accommodated our every want and need with huge smiles and we loved talking with everyone. The cabins were amazing I was obsessed with the plunge pool and the views are indescribable. There was never a lack of places to sit in the sun which was so nice and the facility is very well maintained and so clean. I would highly recommend getting a massage. We loved this trip so much we will be regularly celebrating here in the future. Read less
