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!

You are greeting by a morning sun followed by crystal clear sea green ocean. Enjoy the variety of rum they have on site. You will also see the occasional wildlife, but rest assured they are friendly. But overall I had a exceptional stay here at the cocobay resort will return soon!!!!!

I paid for my elderly parents and aunt to stay here for a week in October. They were both robbed of jewellery and cash from there room while at dinner. The hotel staff did absolutely nothing to help them whatsoever. I have personally stayed in Carlisle bay hotel a couple of times in the past and that is a much safer and friendlier hotel.
Amazing experience!

The room we had was lovely it had a plunge pool and overlooked the sea and we loved it!
The food is consistently good every day! in fact the food is excellent!
if i had to give a negative, music from other guests speakers should 100% be banned from the beach!! We had people daily putting on music loudly and then going off and leaving it! I go to the beach for peace and quiet! that is why i booked adult only!!! Its rude and it actually spoilt my beach time!
Will 100% be back.
