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!

This place was amazing. We enjoyed every part of our vacation, from the amazing meals to the attentiveness of the staff. It made our vacation one that we will always remember. 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 Read less

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.

We came here for our honeymoon. We pre purchased some extras including the sunset dinner and a couples massage at the wellness deck. Best deep tissue massage I’ve ever had! We also loved kayaking to a nearby beach.

Absolutely stunning place. Amazing food and drinks. So peaceful and relaxing. Wonderful service from lovely staff. It's very shabby chic style so dont expect flashy modern hotel. We loved it. The only improvements i could suggest are about the pool areas. The top pool didn't have a shower so the pool wasn't as clean as it could be. Still amazing though. The lower pool had a shower but it was positioned where you had to walk over sand again once used. Also the decking was coming up in some places and there were evem some nails sticking up. I saw a few people trip or catch their toes. We had an amazing time despite this. It really was fantastic. I would 100% recommend this place for a quiet, beautiful rest and relaxation holiday.
