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!

Cocobay is such a sweet little resort! We absolutely loved our 5-night stay there in October. The purpose of our trip was to disconnect, fully relax, and explore a new Caribbean island.
The biggest issue I had was the party boat that is anchored in front of the hotel. It was very disruptive when we were relaxing in our pool or I was trying to read.
Our room was perfect the view was amazing! The food is top notch and we never went hungry. I had the best massage while there as well. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive we would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for romance and to disconnect for a few days.

A memorable and relaxing holiday

Without a doubt this is one of the best all-inclusive hotels in which we have stayed. I cannot praise the staff enough, including the unsung heroes - gardeners, admin, cleaners - who made this such a special holiday.

Without a doubt this is one of the best all-inclusive hotels in which we have stayed. I cannot praise the staff enough, including the unsung heroes - gardeners, admin, cleaners - who made this such a special holiday. The menus were different on each of the fourteen days we spent there. The bar and waiting staff were genuinely interested in us as individuals, and the food was truly excellent; hot, imaginative and joyous.
Having the coffee shop open all day was a bonus, and the cakes, pastries and cookies made for a light lunch if you didn't wish to go to the restaurant.
The gardens were lush and beautifully maintained, the beach quiet and the sea calm and sublime.
My one gripe: the website indicates a dresscode for men in the evening, yet so many decided that a t-shirt and flipflops were acceptable. Since they were never challenged it became the norm. Please, management, either gently enforce the code upon the guests' arrival, or scrap it.
Thanks, Cocobay, for a memorable experience. We hope to come and see you again in the coming years.

My wife and I stayed for a week in December and enjoyed every minute. We had a waterfront cabin;it was furthest from centre and was quite quiet. The room was quite rustic which felt a good fit with the resort. The view of the bay was lovely and we spent more time than expected watching seabirds dive for fish. The pace of life in the resort was ideal for us. It was very relaxed and the routine with the food services worked for us. The food was excellent; the high quality regular offering meant we tried dishes we wouldn’t normally. Likewise the bar staff are excellent at suggesting drinks that are worth trying. The resort staff were excellent. Friendly, patient and helpful. This included helping us out when we were let down by an external tour company. We would happily return for a stay in future.
