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!

The resort was a short 30 - 45 minute drive from the airport. Cocobay is set on the side of hill overlooking the ocean. The view of Falls Church Beach and Jolly Beach are breathtaking. The room was simple but elegant with a comfortable bed. The entire resort was clean and the staff was active throughout our stay cleaning and taking care of the grounds. Our stay was worth the money and we would love to return in the future. There are only 65 cottages and it never feels crowded or noisy. We were always able to find a pool cabana or beach chairs whenever we wanted them. This is not a party resort! It is a laidback all-inclusive with a wonderful vibe.

When I say my 40th birthday trip was nothing short of perfection I mean it and it was all because of our stay at Cocobay & of course the staff. They were thee friendly and most thoughtful people. From the front desk crew, housekeeping, to the servers, bartenders and masseuse. They almade our stay one to remember.
We enjoyed a private cliff side dinner for my birthday, and when we returned to the room we were met by champagne, candlelights, and flower petals. It was perfect. The attention to detail was phenomenal.
I highly recommend doing the floating breakfast at the black rock pool. It was the highlight of my stay. Keiry and Trevisha were so much fun and made sure we had everything we needed, including amazing pictures and videos of our experience.
The private sail along the bay in the hobie cat was relaxing and perfect. The captain was sweet and knowledgeable. A perfect way to explore a bit of the island.
There are also adorable resort kittens that are friendly and make the stay even more special.
The drinks were amazing and the food was to die for. Every single meal was better than the last. Our private pool at our cottage was really nice. Being able to take a dip whenever you want and enjoy the spectacular views from your room was next level. It was an unbelievable experience.
If you're planning on staying in Antigua, Cocobay should be your ONLY option. You will NOT be disappointed.
