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!

e had an amazing experience from the moment we were picked up from the airport until checkout. beautiful resort, amazing location, very good food and great massages. the highlight however was the service. EVERY SINGLE PERSON was helpful and friendly. you will never be left waiting for anything, there is always someone around to assist you. it’s almost as though they are NOT on island time! from the driver, to the head security woman at the gate (shes very spicy and very funny!) to the front desk, concierge, servers, bartenders, housekeepers, even the men working on the grounds, EVERYONE had a smile and always acknowledged you when you walked past, no matter where you are on the property. also, ask for Mr Lunch to do any driving you need around the island, he is awesome and very knowledgeable! be advised there are no tvs in the room, so bring your device if you need. bring small bills for tips, sometimes change is hard to come by and there is no atm on the property, which we did not realize at first! the resort is on a cliff, so be aware that there are many steps throughout the property depending on where your room is located. all in all, amazing trip, and my favorite caribbean island! definitely choose cocobay and prepare to relax with the best people!!

COCOBAY is everything you want it to be!!! Gorgeous views, beaches and pools. Excellent service, friendly staff, wonderful massages...i really cant say enough. There wasnt a second the entire trip that we needed to look for help or search for a person. They were constantly checking up on us to make sure our experience was as relaxing as possible! Even the head of security went out of her way to warm our hearts!! Id recommend this place anytime. The only thing id suggest is for them to have an ATM, so that you can readily get cash, to tip their amazing staff or go jetskiing/buy local souvenirs on the beach. They deserve every penny so bring cash with you!! Go there. Soak up the sun, and relax Read less

The staff was amazing! From the managers to the waitress staff, specifically Samantha, Denise, Pepa, Cheryl, both Jermaine’s ( manager and concierge) the bartenders. Our room was turned over everyday and smelled like fruit pebbles lol the rooms are clean! The area is perfectly situated near a lot of great restaurants if you choose to walk off the resort. The beach is great, crystal clear blue waters. The atmosphere is quiet and serene. I was worth the value I paid. My group had a specific palate and they accommodated us with no problem. They made sure we were full and satisfied. My bf and mothers guest enjoyed the gym daily along with walking around the outskirts of the property. It is very safe. Read less

I absolutely loved this resort. The location is spectacular; perched on a bluff, just steps from Little Ffryes Beach, it feels like a quiet, tucked-away oasis.A short walk down and you're Big Ffryes beach- a larger, more quiet expanse of beach.

I absolutely loved this resort. The location is spectacular; perched on a bluff, just steps from Little Ffryes Beach, it feels like a quiet, tucked-away oasis.A short walk down and you're Big Ffryes beach- a larger, more quiet expanse of beach. What truly sets the property apart, though, is its layout. The private casitas/rooms are thoughtfully spaced, offering a surprising amount of privacy from one another. The bed/bathrooms are generously sized, and the balconies are equally impressive- perfect for taking in the gorgeous views (spring for the ocean view). The staff deserve special mention. They are genuinely warm, welcoming, and attentive, and it's easy to see why they contribute so significantly to the resort's outstanding reviews. And then there's the food, which was a highlight in its own right. The on-site restaurants deliver exceptional quality, with beautifully presented dishes and thoughtfully sized portions. Best of all, the menus changed daily. That's a detail that makes a real difference at an all-inclusive resort.. I never once felt like I was eating the same thing on repeat or was limited by the typical all-inclusive dining experience. All in all, a beautiful property that gets the details right. I'd happily return. Read less

We chose Cocobay for our Anniversary trip and it was amazing! We arrived to a very friendly welcome by the staff and we were shown to our room shortly afterwards… Wow the view from the balcony was incredible! I looked forward to waking up to it daily and sitting watching the ocean … we had also been given a bottle of champagne and our room was decorated which was very much appreciated. The food in the restaurant was delicious and varied, once again sitting eating looking out over the ocean was something special.. Drinks were good too, I especially enjoyed the cocktails and there were plenty to choose from… The coffee shop was great if you just fancied a drink and a piece of cake etc.. they also had smoothies on offer. The hotel is situated on a small beach, you can also walk to a couple of other ones easily which made a nice change. All of the staff were friendly and helpful and always greeted you with a smile, we had such a special relaxing time and hopefully we will be back to visit one day! Read less
