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 is the loveliest place my wife and I have ever been on our 25-plus years going on summer holidays! Our de-lux seaview cottage had cosy ‘beachy vibes’ with a super comfortable bed and big balcony with a hammock! The actual beach was a slice of proverbial paradise - private, and included a bar drinks service direct to our sun loungers run by the wonderful Marlon & Mr Reed. The hotel infinity pools both overlook the Caribbean Sea and were also a joy for peaceful sun bathing. And compliments to the chefs in the restaurant for genuinely wonderful breakfast, lunch and dinner menus - plus the table service was a delight (no buffet bottle necks here!). Every single member of the staff and team (managed by the brilliant Jermaine) were cheerful, bright, friendly and kind - we felt so welcome and got treated like VIPs - BIG THANKS! Read less

This place is so relaxing and chilling. We spent 12 nights here and I can honestly say we didn’t want to leave. The bungalows were cute and cleaned every day - loved feeding the birds on the balcony with our amazing views of the sea. The restaurant was superb with a great choice of high quality food at breakfast, lunch and dinner - all served to you with no buffet! Bar and drinks were all high end with great friendly service. All staff were so good and friendly - I especially want to mention Chabisa who had a special way with her that my wife and I could have a good laugh with. 100% we will be back next season - I can’t recommend Cocobay resort enough.

We stayed at the Cocobay resort from July 21-28, 2026. We stayed in the Fungee Bungalow, which was their high end, panoramic, full ocean view bungalow. We LOVED our bungalow! The deck was amazing and we never wanted to leave it! This resort reminded us of a high-end dirty dancing feel. We absolutely loved EVERYTHING about the Cocobay Resort. This is NOT a party resort. This resort is full romance, relaxation, and slow moving. If you want to relax, float, eat good meals, enjoy the cliff side cabanas… this is the place for you. We have traveled to Mexico, Jamaica, Turks, and the Dominican Republic, and this by far is our favorite resort. The ocean water, ambiance and the staff were all incredible. All staff at the resort spoke English, which has not been the case on many other islands. You will not be disappointed! Read less
