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!

Welcome to paradise ! a very special place indeed. Even though we arrived after dark we were made to feel very welcome. We were taken to our wonderful cabins just up the hill a bit. Big open bedroom with a really comfortable bed looking out to our balcony. The bathroom was big and spacious with x2 showers and sinks.
The view from our balcony and our private plunge pool was amazing, i never got tired of it. The restaurant was al a carte for breakfast,lunch and dinner with different choices every night of top quality food served by the super friendly people who work there.
The bar area is very nice with good live entertainment every night. You can eat and drink as much as you like but you never see anyone staggering around , everyone dresses up a bit smart for dinner (shorts are allowed) and a great time is had by all.
I highly recommend and would come back again.
Also a big shout out to Marlon 'The Machine' He never stops ! :)
Thanks to rest of the wonderful team for a great time.

Our stay at Cocobay Resort was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, the stunning views and serene atmosphere swept us off our feet. The resort’s charm is matched only by the incredible staff who go above and beyond to make every moment unforgettable.
A special shoutout goes to Derrick and Lisa, the phenomenal bartenders who truly elevated our experience. Derrick’s creativity, sense of humor, and fun energy is unmatched! Lisa’s warm smile and impeccable service made us feel like family. Their combined energy and enthusiasm created such a welcoming and fun vibe at the bar, making it a highlight of our trip. The delicious drinks were just a bonus.
Cocobay Resort is a slice of paradise, and the team, especially Derrick and Lisa, are the heart and soul of the experience. We’re already counting down the days until we can return. Thank you for giving us a honeymoon to cherish for a lifetime!

Beautiful resort, very clean, outstanding staff on a stunning beach. If you are looking for a small luxury, quiet resort with great pools, beautiful (small) beach and the most stunning views, I highly recommend this resort and suggest booking a room with a view (best I have ever seen in the Caribbean). All staff were very friendly- great service too- and quality of drinks and food were very good.
The only downside- not enough food options/variety and availability. Breakfast ends at 930am( no takeout boxes or room service and the pasteries at the coffee shop were not much/good), then Paninis is pretty much the only thing you can get until 3pm hoping you can eat one of the two “bites” options (note to resort: some people can’t eat cheese or white bread so not clear why the resort thinks Paninis is the one thing offered through the day- a bit of chips and dip and veggies or salad as an added option seems simple to add). The lunch restaurant is open only for 1.5 hours (limited menu again with no take out service). The items on the lunch and dinner menu for an extra fee are not worth it and they should be included given that the choices are so limited to begin with. That is my one suggestion for the resort- never seen such limited options at an all inclusive.
Having said that, I still think the resort is amazing and would highly recommend it just be aware of their approach with food.
