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!

Quaint, quiet, clean, meticulous to details they did everything and then some to accommodate our stay. The staff was attentive, friendly, but not over-bearing. The food was phenomenal and fresh. Gourmet style meals with carefully planned menus. Didn’t eat the same thing twice and didn’t have a bad meal. Drinks were plentiful and the atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for on a ten yr anniversary trip. The private plunge pool was the perfect addition to our beautiful room with a view. Would recommend to anyone

From the moment we arrived we felt the warm and inviting energy of this resort. The rum punch didn't hurt either. The room with private pool had a great view and was very comfortable inside and out.
We missed breakfast every morning since we were on vacation and just didn't care to get out of bed that early but all other meals were great. They account for the non morning people by way of a coffee shop serving up hot and cold drinks as well as delicious smoothies.
We took a day excursion on the lobster cruise which was a lot of fun! The pools and easy walk to the beach from the resort were great options as well. There are some great little day beds tucked away at the resort which people didn't seem to even know about so we took advantage of the private feel these offered.
Last but certainly not least! The staff was incredible. They were all genuinely friendly and helpful offering great tips, drinks, and ideas throughout our trip. They even joined a little dance party we kicked off. Special shout out to Kemlin for making my girlfriends birthday even more special!
Thank you all!

When you book an all-inclusive vacation, you always wonder about the quality of the food. The food was one of the many bright spots of our vacation. We enjoyed every meal and never experienced a subpar meal.
I cannot say enough about the staff. Our room was clean and serviced daily, and we never had a concern about its cleanliness.
The resort is also located near a beautiful beach, and if you don’t care for the beach, there are several pools available.
Thank you to everyone at Cocobay Resort for making this vacation very special, and we will be back in the future

The ABC’s of a perfect getaway. In Antigua with all the Beautiful Beaches, Cocobay understands the fundamentals of creating an unforgettable experience. As you walk through the grounds you will see the “C” prominently featured on fixtures .. almost as an indicator for the Courteous , competent staff, Clean well kept grounds, Comfortable cottages, Culinary delights at each meal and Caribbean Sea views that are absolutely stunning. Last year we visited and were amazed.l, when we returned for our second visit we can add the last “C” .. consistent . Travelers with dietary restrictions like myself need not worry as the staff ensured that a suitable alternative is always available for every meal course. Recommended to a relative who also visited this year and could not stop raving about Cocobay Antigua. It is the Absolutely Best Caribbean Couples destination.

Excellent resort and staff
Jul 17, 2025Bash0318
The resort is lovely. The cottages have breathtaking views. The pools are not crowded. Staff is excellent especially Kemlin who went out of her way to bring us local fruits and made changes to make our stay extra special. Will definitely return to this resort.
