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!

My husband and I stayed at Cocobay Resort in Antigua last year to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary, and even a year later, we still talk about what an incredible experience it was. I meant to write this review as soon as we returned home, but life got busy — and honestly, this resort deserves the recognition, even if it is a little overdue! This was, without question, our favorite vacation we have ever taken. From the moment we arrived, the resort was absolutely beautiful, peaceful, incredibly clean, and exactly what we hoped for when planning an anniversary getaway. The rooms were gorgeous, the views and ambiance were amazing, and the entire property had such a relaxing, intimate feel. It was one of those rare vacations where you genuinely feel yourself completely unwind. What made Cocobay truly exceptional, though, was the staff. Every single person we encountered was warm, attentive, kind, and genuinely seemed to care about making our stay special. We did experience a few issues during our trip, but the way the resort handled them actually became one of the things we remember most positively. The manager went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, and we were eventually upgraded to an even more incredible room. I wish I could remember her name because she absolutely deserves to be recognized for how wonderful she was to us. I also have to specifically mention Kemlin, who helped us tremendously during our stay and was absolutely amazing. The level of kindness and hospitality we experienced from Kemlin and the rest of the staff was something we haven't forgotten. And it wasn't just the accommodations or service — we loved everything. The food was fantastic, the activities were fun, the atmosphere was perfect, and even something as simple as pizza night became such a fun memory. Cocobay somehow manages to feel luxurious without feeling stuffy. Everything felt relaxed, personal, and special. We have traveled to many places, but there was something about Cocobay that stayed with us. When I think about the perfect vacation — beautiful surroundings, amazing accommodations, wonderful food, incredible service, and the ability to completely relax — this is the trip I think of. We absolutely plan to return someday. If you're considering Cocobay for an anniversary, honeymoon, romantic getaway, or simply a trip where you want to truly relax and be taken care of, GO. Thank you to the entire Cocobay team for giving us such an unforgettable 10th anniversary. A year later, you're still our favorite vacation we've ever taken. ❤️🌴 Five stars aren't enough. Read less

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
