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

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.
Honeymoon Getaway
Jul 15, 2025mwagenhauser
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.
Beautiful, relaxing, heavenly place.

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…

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.
