Cocobay Resort

Having stayed at various hotels in Antigua and Coco’s last year, we decided to pay out a little more for our stay at Cocobay and to be honest we left a little disappointed. The location is beautiful and it’s certainly an upgrade facilities wise, the pool areas and beach are stunning and first impressions give you the wow factor. But for us, small details really let this place down. Stocked minibar in the room upon arrival, great, only to find out that this mini bar doesn’t get restocked unless you pay! We stayed for 2 weeks and after complaining we were informed it would be refilled ONCE! The food is OK, I’m not sure how people rave about it, the options are really limited. The coco bay burger features every night and th lunchtime and breakfast menus are limited. Not sure how you can’t offer a basic omelette or tomato or beans to go with a basic breakfast. If you don’t want a sit down limited offering from the restaurant, you have the offer of a panini from the sunset pool bar, that is literally it! They offer a further snack that you can order from 330pm but again it’s limited and really not of good quality. Coffee delivery to the room is a lovely touch, shame you have to pay $5 a day for this service, don’t bother and walk down to the coffee shop! I also have to disagree with the numerous comments saying how friendly ALL the staff are, without doubt most of them are, but there is also a small minority that won’t give you the time of day and don’t seem to want to be there. Bar staff great, some of the serving staff not so. Local beer is not great a the only other offering on that front is Corona, they also don’t use premium brands which is really disappointing for the money you pay. Overall we enjoyed our stay, this hotel has the potential to great, but the quality and personal touches are missing, certainly when you realise it’s top end price wise in comparison to other hotels on the island. Sadly, because of the above, we won’t be returning and would probably say Coco’s is a better quality of hotel and less expensive.

The most amazing atmosphere, scenery, and staff. Could not dream up a more beautiful or relaxing vacation! The room had the most beautiful view and was spotless! They had everything you need to recharge your batteries! Highly highly recommend this resort in particular. Special thanks to the staff who are all beautiful people.

We have just had the most relaxing holiday! Cocobay Resort is truly a haven for anyone seeking sun and warmth with the most courteous and helpful hosts and team. Lovely infinity Pool’s but as always we’re most at home on the beach which although public is pretty much part of the resort. Great location all round. Cottages are idyllic, a good size and well provisioned with a rustic island. Furnished traditionally with very comfortable beds. Restaurant serves some fantastic dishes! Well flavoured and balanced and extremely well presented. For someone who doesn’t have a massive appetite, servings are perfect. We had a few trips out of the resort, to the authentic Antiguan capital, St. John’s; English Harbour, taking in Shirley Heights (a must for the views) and Nelsons Dockyard. Antigua is a great place and Cocobay a fantastic and authentic resort. Would recommend in a heartbeat, we’ll be back for sure.

Awesome resort, great staff, great spa

Very relaxing time @ Cocobay. This is an adults only, cottage style stay with NO TV in your room. We love that part as this is our second stay. Great food, no buffets, cooked to order sit down. All the staff are great from the wait staff to housekeeping to the bar staff. Its a laid back, bare food chill and read a book kinda place. Not for everyone, but perfect for us.
