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!

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

Rustic. Intimate. Wonderful pools although you need to pick your seating area out early. Lots of options for dining upgrades however you don’t need them. The regular menu and dining options are fantastic. We enjoyed the salads immensely. The setting is so beautiful. Make sure you pack everything you need, no convenient shopping nearby.
