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!

Perfection is an understatement! We have traveled to many resort/destinations & Cocobay will be one of the most memorable🩵 The location is amazing offering the most beautiful views imaginable!

We booked relatively last minute direct with the resort. Despite being low season everything was open and there were plenty of other guests around without being overcrowded. The All inclusive food from breakfast all the way through to dinner was excellent. No buffet: tick. Portion sizes perfect. Rotating menu through the week meant a wide variety of food. The coffee shop does coffee, snacks and shop sales from 7am to 6pm and is lovely. The two bars have a huge selection of drinks and there is no holding back with servings. Don’t expect to pitch up and do lots of adventures: this seems to be primarily a flop and drop all inclusive place. The gym is tiny but adequate and the water sports section is not like other resorts either. But the beach is lovely and the two pools excellent. Bear in mind we are in low season so it’s not busy. Evening entertainment over the weekend nights has been enjoyable but not in your face. You are treated like an adult with no wrist bands and no need to sign in pool towels at the end of the day. It is a high trust resort and so refreshing. I hope they never change their policies. We booked a silver sands cottage with plunge pool views of the ocean. Yet the veranda and the pool were very private. The room was so clean and tidy and refreshed every day by the friendly hard working cleaners. We had a couples massage in the small spa which was fab. Also a floating breakfast experience where Mel made us feel so special. But, by far and away the whole experience of our week was made entirely by the staff. Without exception they are helpful, friendly and nothing is too much trouble. That is from the ground staff that sweep the beach up to the reception staff. The dining and bar staff deserve a special mention especially Sandy, Mel, Derrick and Sasha. But, honestly, they are all wonderful. My wife and I are people that don’t really like returning to places as there so many places in the world to explore. However we both agree that we WILL return to Cocobay Resort because it has been so wonderful. Thank you Cocobay for a lovely relaxing week. Read less
