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!

Our stay at Cocobay Resort was the relaxing getaway we hoped for! We arrived to a warm welcome and refreshing drink. When staff realized lunch was nearly over, they encouraged us to eat first and check in afterward at our convenience. A kind gentleman then brought our bags to our cottage and showed us around. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed, including an outdoor-style shower and optional morning coffee delivery. Meals at the main restaurant were delicious, with courses and smaller portions we appreciated. For bites between meals, there's a café serving coffee and light bites if you sleep through breakfast and paninis at another bar with snacks. We loved the fresh specialty cocktails, and the bartenders were especially friendly and attentive. The public beach, just down the steps, has chairs and beautiful shallow water. It was mostly peaceful, while Sunday brought music and a lively mix of guests and locals. A few tips: Bring mosquito spray for evening walks and a small repellent device for your cottage. I usually attract mosquitoes but only got two bites indoors! If you're a light sleeper, download a white noise app; nighttime wildlife can be surprisingly loud. I'd also recommend more lighting on the stepping-stone paths and outside cottage doors. Your phone flashlight helps in the meantime. We never felt the need to leave the resort. A lovely place to unwind and enjoy Antigua at a slower pace. Read less

An Amazing Stay at Cocobay Resort, Antigua! Cocobay Resort checked all of our boxes! This adults-only, all-inclusive resort offers a wonderful experience with a daily changing menu, delicious cocktails, and absolutely beautiful scenery. There are two infinity-edge pools to enjoy, a large bar area with fun swing chairs, and entertainment on most nights. Our room had a gorgeous ocean view and a small private pool, which made our stay feel extra special. If you book one of the premium rooms, you also have the option of having your morning coffee delivered right to your cottage in a cute little wooden box attached to the outside. What a perfect way to start the day! The staff at Cocobay Resort were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. We had a small issue during check-in, but management went out of their way to make things right. We truly appreciated the upgrade and their efforts to ensure we had a great experience. The beds were very comfortable, and the air conditioning worked exceptionally well—almost a little too well! Overall, we absolutely loved our stay at Cocobay Resort. Between the beautiful views, relaxing atmosphere, thoughtful touches, great food and drinks, and outstanding staff, it was a memorable experience. If we ever return to Antigua, Cocobay Resort would definitely be at the top of our list! Read less
