Breathtaking

This was the most beautiful place in the world. Every single person was absolutely amazing, beautiful inside and out and just perfect. We miss it already and are already planning another trip. We can't thank the people who took such great care of us enough. The views from every angle everywhere we looked were just perfect. So we'll taken care of, clean, maintained, amazing food, amazing people, amazing atmosphere, clean beach, accommodating staff, wonderful service, it felt more like a second home than it did anything else.
One of the nicest Caribbean hotels
suer525 (Hertfordshire, United Kingdom) on Sep 27, 2024
One of the nicest hotels we have stayed at in the Caribbean. I was a little concerned that only having one restaurant the meals would be disappointing. But I couldn’t have been more wrong! The food was excellent - very well presented and nice sensible portions. The staff were all friendly and helpful. So why only 4 stars? The main pool was stunning but the second pool by the beach was a little run down. There was no private beach and the small public beach accessible from the hotel was a bit run down. At night the resort could have been better lit. But overall I would highly recommend this resort
Vacation in Paradise!

We just had the most amazing and relaxing vacation at Cocobay! The location is absolutely stunning, and the resort rooms are individual cottages. Our private cottage had the most incredible ocean views, a refreshing plunge pool, and a slipper tub on the deck. We truly got that Caribean paradise feeling! The resort's atmosphere is so laid-back and it looks even better than the photos. All the staff are incredibly friendly and always ready with a smile to greet you; they could not have been nicer or more helpful. For dining, there's one main restaurant for all meals and a cute coffee shop with pastries and smoothies. You can also grab paninis by the pool for lunch and enjoy bar snacks in the late afternoon. While 'foodies' might find the main restaurant's food underwhelming, we always found something on the menu we liked, and the views from the restaurant were just spectacular. The resort does have another restaurant, but it's not part of the all-inclusive package. We didn't try it due to some negative reviews from other guests. Every night there was live music in the bar, adding to the wonderful atmosphere of Cocobay! The resort is situated on a hillside, with direct beach access. We loved taking walks after breakfast along the gorgeous white sand beaches of Little Ffryers and Big Ffryer, then a swim in the clear turquoise Caribbean sea before a hard day relaxing at the resort pool! Cocobay has snorkeling, paddleboarding, and kayaks available for its guests. We had an incredible day sailing with Wadadli Cats and snorkeling on Cades Reef. I highly recommend Cocobay Resort!
Magical experience

Arrival at the airport, probably took 10 min for immigration & getting our luggage. *make sure you fill out both sides of paper and keep your end. We booked a taxi with Mr.Lunch, he was highly recommended through the group and he is very professional, and punctual. Arrival to the Resort, we got greated by the concierge, they took out luggage and we went to reception to check in ( we did the online Check in, it saved lots of time) we just had to add a credit card. While we were doing that the concierge brought us drinks. We sat and enjoyed the view while waiting for the manager to come. Once she came she greated us, and we had a breakdown on how everything works. She asked us what time we wanted dinner, and then we were guided to our rooms. We booked through expedia, and had the deluxe cottage private pool ocean view. Room N2 BREATHLESS! Food- when I saw it I said man, I won't get full but I had trouble finishing every meal. You get 4 course meals, the perfect portion. Every meal is amazing, the drinks also¡ the staff so friendly(I loved Kathleen), they are excellent. At the bar we loved everyone in particular Derrick and Yocaste*very very attentive. I was there for my birthday and got sang too by the band because they told them. It was beautiful. The coffee shop was soo good. You have so many choices We did use the paddle boards and kayak from the resort, and rented out the jetski at the beach from Teddy for $55/1/2 an hour. They give different pricing, from $88- $55. They will bargain. We went to Shirley Heights on Sunday, used the shuttle with the resort. It was $30/ person round trip. There you find the live music, little vendors and lots of food and drinks. The sunset view was just unbelievable. Tuesdays the resort sets up shuttle to st. John's. To get souvenirs, you will find everything from mugs, to Keychains, ect. We didn't end up taking the shuttle because the other couple was running late and we wanted to be done early to come back and enjoy. We paid $50 roundtrip, while there everyone will try to get you to buy something and they have similar things, you just negotiate and spread the love. We reserved the black rock pool for tapas night on my birthday & it was magical, from the moment they get you and take you, treated me like a princess, got amazing food and bottle. And let's not even forget the view and sunset!!! Highly recommend. By the beach we met Norma and Collette they sell bracelets and have dresses and souvenirs. They take vemno so if you don't have cash on you it doesn't matter. We rented the jetski with Teddy, he also got us fresh fruits like coconuts $5/ coconut, black pineapple and papaya. On the last day, check out was quick and easy.
Absolutely incredible and so relaxing

We went to CoCo Bay resort for Marie’s birthday celebration as we do every year to a different Carribean island. Coco bay as an adults only exclusive resort was incredible. We stayed at the Bougainvillea (BG)cottage soooo private on the water with plunge pool, birds and hummingbirds on our lanai/deck every day, we even named them. The room was amazing and close to the secret beach with all the water sports equipment with an over the water lounge area right next to us. The restaurant Rafters had the best food all week breakfast lunch and dinner. Also though we didn’t have paninis or bar bites they were also available, we just didn’t have any room after the wonderful meals. The best part of the stay though was the incredibly warm and incredibly welcoming staff. All with a smile and how can I make your stay more comfortable attitude. A special thanks to concierge galore Lady Kemlin, a special lady who helped us arrange our week to our desires and made us so comfortable, arranging our couples massage, private cliff side meal and special candles and flowers on our return from dinner our final night. Bartender Lisa was just a joy and her drinks perfect. The other bartender Ms Bubbles awesome. The restaurant staff was so caring looking after our every need stand outs were Denise and Mel but everyone was incredible. Thank you all, we look forward to returning to your 6 star resort. Great birthday week for Marie, she said how wonderful her birthday week was literally 100 times (I counted)
