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!

Our honeymoon at Cocobay Resort in Antigua was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt wrapped in warmth, beauty, and true Caribbean charm. The beach is breathtaking — soft sand, crystal-clear turquoise water, and sunsets that felt almost unreal. It was the perfect setting to begin our married life together. A heartfelt thank you to Mr O’Neil, the General Manager, whose kindness and attention to detail made our stay even more special. When I mentioned I had been hoping to buy beach sandals, he surprised me with a complimentary pair — such a thoughtful and personal gesture that we will always remember. To the wonderful restaurant and bar teams: thank you for taking such great care of us every day. The food was absolutely delicious, and every meal felt like a treat. The reception staff were also fantastic — so helpful, informative, and genuinely welcoming. Everywhere we went, we were met with smiles and kindness. I also had one of the best massages I’ve ever experienced here with Nikita — truly relaxing and a perfect honeymoon treat. Cocobay didn’t just feel like a hotel… it felt like a little sanctuary we weren’t ready to leave. With big hugs and gratitude, Vanessa & Jon Montgomerie 🤗 Read less

My (now) Fiancé and I stayed at Cocobay for the last 10 nights and we had the most magical time. From arrival the resort is stunning and the staff can’t do enough for you. The scenery all around you is stunning and I couldn’t get over the wildlife, within the first 10 minutes I saw my first hummingbird! I couldn’t think of a better location to be proposed to as it was magical. We would recommend this resort for anyone wanting a relaxing getaway and we were sad to leave for a long trip back to the UK. We hope to be back in the future. Read less

Our first time at Coco Bay but definitely not our last. The location is stunning and the staff so friendly, hard working and professional. The restaurant in particular ran smoothly and efficiently, which is not always the case at hotels, the coffee at the cafe was delicious and the bar staff mixed a delicious range of cocktails and rum punch. The cottages are a little rustic but provide a complete contrast to home and it was relaxing without TV; just the frogs to lull you to sleep and the doves to coo you awake. Sand flies were a bit of problem during our stay but not a single mosquito bite. Noise from boats moored offshore occasionally intruded during the day but there is little the hotel can do about that and everything quietened down at night. If you are looking for a beautiful, restful, charming and well run escape from the winter blues then Coco Bay should be your destination. Read less
