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!

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Cocobay in August, and from the moment we arrived, we were met with warmth and genuine hospitality. The reception team greeted us with a friendly welcome and encouraged us to take a moment to relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings, accompanied by a delicious rum punch. It was a thoughtful and calming start to our stay after a long flight from the UK. Throughout our visit, every member of the reception staff we encountered was professional, courteous, and kind. They truly exemplify teamwork and excellence in service. Our room was beautifully appointed and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. A special thank you for the chilled champagne left in our room to celebrate my birthday—it was a lovely and much-appreciated gesture. Cocobay is, without a doubt, one of the finest hotels we have experienced in the Caribbean. The service across all departments was exceptional, with staff consistently going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. While I may not recall every name, I would like to acknowledge a few individuals who stood out: Denise, Sandy, Delica, Jermaine, Trevisha, Shaval, Cheryl, Anaia (apologies if misspelled), Jahbisha, and Kerry. Each of them contributed to making our stay memorable. A special mention must go to Sandy W, who took excellent care of our room and added a touch of character to our experience—thank you, Sandy W. And to Denise at the restaurant, who was simply outstanding: always attentive, checking in to ensure we had everything we needed, and consistently going the extra mile. We are truly grateful for her kindness and dedication. To all the staff at Cocobay, thank you. You are a credit to the hotel, and we did not encounter a single team member who was anything less than wonderful. We were hoping to come back for December, but alas the hotel looks fully booked. We hope that we will be able visit again next year. Thank you all again. Read less

Amazing resort, located in a very nice spot of Antigua with a beautifull bay and see around. Place is amazing and perfect to spend a very relax or romantic week. Our Room was very comfortable and with an impressive view of the bay. Staff is very well trained ( I guess thanks to the managment) professional, attentive and kind..so much more than the average of the resorts. Food, especially to be all inclusive formula, is delicious, very fresh and they change frequently the menu. Also the extra wine and champagne's list - quality price - was fair and with reasonalble price to stay in Caribbean. Special thanks to Mr. Richard, the manager, who administrates this place in a perfect way! Definetely one of the best resort where we have been. We will be back for sure very soon. Read less
