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!

Just returned from a 2 week stay. After a couple of initial problems with our rooms, which were very promptly sorted out at reception, we were very happy with our accommodation. We really enjoyed our stay, the plus points were the beaches, the privacy of the cottages, the open air restaurant & bar, the cleanliness and the staff. A couple of slight downsides were the choice or lack of at the Sunset bar for lunch, the twice weekly bbq's were good but more choice the rest of the time would have been nice. The way that sunloungers are reserved and not used straight away. To get beds with shade we were having to go to the beach before breakfast, as early as 7.45, even then most were taken. This being said we had a great time and will probably return next year Read less

We have been back for a week now and thought it was time to review our wonderful 3rd visit to Cocobay. The beach is beautiful with a great walk to Ffryes beach. We love seeing the locals enjoying their welcoming island. All the staff are amazing and would like to thank Sasha in the coffee shop for always getting my hubby’s tea order ready for him first thing in the morning. Jermaine was fun and always had a welcoming smile. Kemlin saved the day as I left my headphones on the plane. She called in some favours with the Airport and BA ground staff who found them and arranged for them to be delivered to Cocobay. All the staff work so hard to make your holiday special and we appreciated it immensely. We were invited to a trial wine tasting event in the hotel which was very educational and fun too. Our chalet was the best yet with wonderful views across Valley Church Beach and on to Jolly Harbour. A brief list of Pro’s & Cons comparing previous visits. Pro’s Staff willing to help and go beyond their normal role. Cleanliness of the whole hotel. Coffee / Cake shop is a great addition to our stay. BBQ trial on the beach for lunch. Con’s Quality of some food is not as good as previous visits. Lack of sailing. (Due to staff holidays and no cover) Evening entertainment was not as good. (Perhaps start a bit earlier and guests would socialise around the bar area.) Overall it was another great break and Yes we will be returning. i Read less

Just returned from Coco Bay and wanted to share an honest review of our stay. The location of coco bay is stunning, right on a beautiful beach. However, it’s worth noting that there are very few amenities nearby, so you are quite dependent on the hotel for food and drinks throughout your stay. The food was hit and miss. While some meals were enjoyable, we found ourselves eating a lot of burgers, as they seemed to be one of the more reliable staples on the menu. Another downside was the ongoing issue with reserving sunbeds. By around 10:30am, there were often none left anywhere, which was frustrating. The loungers by the lower pool were sometimes affected by unpleasant smells from the three nearby public toilets just above, which did impact the experience. The rooms themselves were lovely, ours had a fabulous view, but unfortunately the unlit and uneven access to the chalet and the bedding let things down. The sheets were quite worn, and for part of our stay the bottom sheet was torn, which wasn’t what we’d expect at this level. On a positive note, the staff were absolutely amazing, friendly, helpful, and a real credit to the hotel. We also really loved the coffee shop. Overall, a mixed experience. Read less

We love this resort, from its location, beautiful and quiet beach, to its cleanliness, and especially the staff friendliness. The staff was welcoming and accommodating right from the moment we checked in. The receptionists, Farzana and Kashiri were very helpful and answered all our questions. Special thanks to Farzana and Kashiri who helped us booking the romantic dinner, sushi at black rocks pool and the lovely couple massages. We also love the staff at the bar, breakfast and dinner restaurants, and Kerry and Melinda were really nice and supper supportive. We also appreciate the guest experience manager, Kemlin Charles who was helping us when we forgot our personal items in the room's safe box. Kemlin took time to ship our items back to the US after we already checked out of the hotel and left Antiqua. Many things to list. We will definitely be back and stay at Cocobay resort longer in the near future. Many thanks to Kemlin, Kashiri, Farzana, Kerry, Melinda, Lisa, Amanda, Sasha, and many other staff at the bar and restaurant. Read less
