Tranquility in the Tropics

This us my second trip to Antigua, first time was at Pineapple Beach Club, now The Grand Pineapple. Cocobay is a wonderful little gem. If you like a smaller property with a quiet & relaxed ambience, this... is a great choice. We stayed in a deluxe room, perfect! I opened the bathroom door out onto the deck & enjoyed a private shower with sea view, bliss. Typical Caribbean rooms, rustic yet excellent. Think beach style wooden floor, rendered walls but beamed vaulted ceilings. Long deck/balcony, totally private. If you like to fill your face from a buffet that's been exposed to everyone & wildlife for hours, this isn't for you. If you like local dishes from a menu, usually 4 choices of most courses, then you'll love it, like us. Each evening we sat on the swing with a cocktail watching the stunning sunset... really breathtaking during "golden hour". The beaches are lovely although we hired a car & saw the whole island. Top tip, visit Turner's Beach & Long Bay. Julia's restaurant on Turner's Beach serve up a fabulous lunch. The beach is so long & pretty much empty. A couple of things for Cocobay to try & consider. It would be so much nicer if you could stop people from putting towels/clothes on sunbeds. It's really naff & unfair. Also, if infinity pool no.2 (with an equally stunning view) could be tidied up, there would be no need for bed bagging. Both pools have bars and sunbeds so the guests would be happy at either. That aside, you can't go wrong with this hotel, everything (apart from pool 2!) is perfect in our opinion.
Idyllic

This was our third visit to this charming, rustic hotel and it was absolutely wonderful. The accommodation has a laid back vibe with comfy beds. The food options remai good with generous portion sizes. Coc...ktails are lovely. The views are breathtaking. Starting the day from the hammock of a sea view room with coffee from the on-site coffee shop is pure bliss. Overall, it was another perfect stay and we’ll be back in May 2025.
A perfect week

A really stylish and beautiful resort. The gardens, cottages, restaurant, bar, staff- in fact the whole place - are delightful. Cocobay is definitely on the best side of the island, with amazing beache...s and lush trees and flowers. We would definitely return.
Just perfect in every way.

This island retreat is a memorable lifetime experience. Its an utter delight in every way and I shall dream of our return. Nothing is too much trouble for the warm and attentive staff. The gardens and room...s are perfect and the dining top class.
A Relaxing and Friendly Resort

We had a really good stay at Cocobay Resort. I liked the friendly atmosphere and the intimate setting. With just one main restaurant, a coffee shop, two pools and the beach in close proximity it was a stre...ss free experience. At first we were not sure as our first night was noisy. It was very windy and the palm leaves on the trees either side of our cottage banged against the corrugated sides keeping me awake. When we mentioned this the staff couldn't have been more helpful. The groundsmen were sent to prune these and we didn't have anymore problems. The food was mostly very good. Just one thing: my husband has a number of food intolerances which were noted diligently on our arrival but this didn't communicate itself to the restaurant at all. This wasn't a major problem as he is used to picking food that is OK for him except on one meal when something he ate definitely triggered his allergies. Also to have to state his food intolerances every time was tiresome when they were supposed to be on record. The room we had wasn't palatial but it was comfortable with a lovely balcony and view of the sea. All the cottages are situated for maximum privacy. The beach was lovely. Just one annoyance: some guests put their towels on the sunbeds before breakfast and as there were only 14 shades with beds allocated to the resort it often meant we couldn't get a seat unless we played the same game. A waiter came round to take drink orders which was a nice touch. Generally, the staff worked hard to ensure we had a good holiday. When being seated in the restaurant we were placed not where we wanted to go but where it worked for the different stations being served. That was OK in general but if we did ask to sit in the nicest seats on the edge overlooking the sea it often resulted in a grudging agreement but with the advice that we would have to wait longer to be served. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this resort as the niggles are outweighed by the ambiance and beauty of the resort.
