Cocobay Resort

This was our second year at Cocobay and we enjoyed it even more than last year. I think the best possible review would be that we book for next year before our trip ended. Rooms- a bit dated but definitely fit the laid back Caribbean cottage vibe. Food-Yes, there is only one restaurant, but overall the food is delicious. The menu changes everyday with a few items consistently available. We were able to go to Cliffside for lunch a couple of the days and the Asian inspired food was excellent. Pools-Well taken care of and seemingly plenty of seating although the upper pool gets crowded quickly Beach-a great beach, with pairs of chairs under palapas, all with great views. Now the biggest reason we keep coming back is the people. We will start at the top. One of the managers, Kemlin. She is personable, positive, and a person who tries to find ways to make sure your stay is special. Saskia, at the upper bar is full of light and happiness and will make you whatever you want. Denise, at the front of the restaurant always checked on us to made sure we were alright. Lisa & Lorenzo at both bars were both good. As for servers, they were all great with Kathleen standing out. Sasha in the coffee shop was above and beyond. At check in, Shanieka greeted us warmly and always went out of her way to make sure we were “good”. The Cliffside mixologist, Melinda, made some wonderfully creative cocktails, but more importantly was so nice.

This was our second time at Cocoby in 3 years. We stayed in room CALYPSO with an outside bathtub and plunge pool. *. Room: Calypso excellent. * Beach: The beaches are beautiful, not too crowded * Staff: Most of the staff were very friendly, too many to name. * Coffee Shop: Absolutely lovely * FOOD: I like hot food, not a hot plate, and the food is barely warm. I found most of the food okay, but not great. The chef should try to make the food HOT. Also, the sushi looked like it came from the supermarket, with only 1 small piece on a large plate. The grill by the lower pool offers daily pannins. They should use the large grill down there and make some other things: fries, grilled cheese, and pizza? Overall, we will be back as we love this country.

Just returned from a 2 week stay. After a couple of initial problems with our rooms, which were very promptly sorted out at reception, we were very happy with our accommodation. We really enjoyed our stay, the plus points were the beaches, the privacy of the cottages, the open air restaurant & bar, the cleanliness and the staff. A couple of slight downsides were the choice or lack of at the Sunset bar for lunch, the twice weekly bbq's were good but more choice the rest of the time would have been nice. The way that sunloungers are reserved and not used straight away. To get beds with shade we were having to go to the beach before breakfast, as early as 7.45, even then most were taken. This being said we had a great time and will probably return next year

We got a warm ‘Welcome Back’ from the Front Desk team and had a beautiful air conditioned sea view room with a plunge pool. The addition of a twice weekly beach bbq only added to the relaxing ambiance and ALL the food was amazing. Lots of gorgeous Caribbean flavours, a nod to Asian cuisine and delicious fish and burgers - something for everyone The staff are all friendly yet professional. We love it here and will definitely be back!

We have been back for a week now and thought it was time to review our wonderful 3rd visit to Cocobay. The beach is beautiful with a great walk to Ffryes beach. We love seeing the locals enjoying their welcoming island. All the staff are amazing and would like to thank Sasha in the coffee shop for always getting my hubby’s tea order ready for him first thing in the morning. Jermaine was fun and always had a welcoming smile. Kemlin saved the day as I left my headphones on the plane. She called in some favours with the Airport and BA ground staff who found them and arranged for them to be delivered to Cocobay. All the staff work so hard to make your holiday special and we appreciated it immensely. We were invited to a trial wine tasting event in the hotel which was very educational and fun too. Our chalet was the best yet with wonderful views across Valley Church Beach and on to Jolly Harbour. A brief list of Pro’s & Cons comparing previous visits. Pro’s Staff willing to help and go beyond their normal role. Cleanliness of the whole hotel. Coffee / Cake shop is a great addition to our stay. BBQ trial on the beach for lunch. Con’s Quality of some food is not as good as previous visits. Lack of sailing. (Due to staff holidays and no cover) Evening entertainment was not as good. (Perhaps start a bit earlier and guests would socialise around the bar area.) Overall it was another great break and Yes we will be returning. i
