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 resort exceeded our expectations! Not only is the resort breathtakingly beautiful, the staff was incredible! From Marlin helping us book our incredible boat tour, to Sharee & Melinda taking such good care of us. Jamal (not sure if I got the name correct!) handling our private dinner on our anniversary. The food is exceptional, the drinks are top tier, not watered down, the nightly entertainment. This is the first trip were we didn’t want to leave the resort. Everything was right here. So relaxing, rejuvenating & refreshing. Can’t rate it high enough!!! Read less

stayed at Cocobay Resort from Friday to Monday as a solo female traveler, and this place truly exceeded my expectations. The staff here were absolutely amazing — warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. The views are breathtaking, and the entire property feels like a peaceful escape. A few people deserve special recognition: • Nikita at the spa — so sweet and calming. • Lorenzo, the best bartender on the property. His drinks are consistently good and he has such a great energy. • Sasha from the café, always welcoming. Oh and Danny (not a hotel staff but he is the jet ski guy (took me to on a tour of the different beaches and showed me sleeping Indian). But above all, I want to highlight Christoph, who I believe is one of the managers. His kindness had a real impact on my stay. I went to get lunch in my one piece suit without a cover up one afternoon and realized I had left my towel down at the beach. My room was all the way up the hill, and I was starving. One of the ladies tried turning me away and Instead of turning me away, he let me sit in a corner in my bathing suit and enjoy my meal. It was such a small gesture, but it meant everything , especially traveling alone. Honestly, that moment is the reason I’m finally writing this review. It stuck with me. If I ever return to Cocobay, it will be because of that act of kindness. My room had a private pool, and trust me it was well used. The entire experience was worth the trip, and I felt safe, cared for, and welcomed the whole time Read less

We have just returned from 10 nights in this beautiful resort. From our first welcome drink we were totally looked after the whole time. The gardens are stunning. We had a garden cottage (51) very nice, clean and good a/c. The views all Around the resort were a real pleasure. Always something to see. We spent a lot of time at the top infinity pool. We would walk every morning along the two beaches (Ffryes) we also walked to Valley Church beach. Both really lovely. We enjoyed the food and never had a bad meal. We had a car to explore for three days. The island is easy to get around. We explored lots of beaches on the west coastline. Shirley Heights, walked down Market Street St John’s on a busy Saturday morning. Felt very safe at all times. The biggest asset Cocobay has is the staff. All of them are friendly & attentive. Totally enjoyed this holiday and would love to return. Read less
