Cocobay Resort Antigua - All Inclusive - Adults Only

Great location, relaxing with a choice of 2 pools and steps to the beach which is excellent. The cottages have a partial sea view, with comfortable beds and a nice balcony. We did not have a plunge pool, those that do are closer to the sea. We chose GARDEN ROOM and coffee delivery was chargeable. Staff were all friendly, except 2, and very relaxed approach. Food - it was great not to have a buffet but sometimes the choice was limited and portions small but you can order extra. Good choice of spirits and cocktails. Overall I would say if you’re looking for a totally chilled holiday this is great

Some small downsides to the hotel. The cottages were rustic but somewhat dated. The house wine was poor, you could buy a bottle of wine but we didn’t know this until near the end and with only 1 restaurant food choice was limited. You can access and pay for the independent Sheer Rocks restaurant which is a lovely setting. There are options such as Cliffside for lunch and private dining or pool experiences but these depends on you package or are chargeable . If you’re looking for a totally chilled holiday or on honeymoon this is great, otherwise you need to think of it as a base for exploring the island

Staff were so friendly and the vibe very chilled which together made for a wonderful recharge

Really no negatives

Intimacy

Nothing

Amazing views, location is amazing.

Lack of things to do. Lack of food options. Room was fair- we got the suite with plunge pool. But it’s just a room with a small deck and pool. Outside area had no sun- our cottage was covered by a roof- which was unfortunate because we weren’t able to tan and use our pool. Pool was very cold- which would be nice if we could be in the sun prior to use. We were in seagrape the first cottage in the row of cottages. There was no alcohol in the room- which I foundvery strange as its an all inclusive- and normally alocohol is found in room. Snacks were also not provided in the rooms. I felt that by booking through booking.com we got the lower end room of the “suite” options. There is no option for grab and go food. they have a coffee shop where you can get pastries. And a little cottage by the beach where we can get Panini‘s, but they close at five (or maybe 6). Also, when you order a Panini by the Sunset pool, they wrap it in aluminum foil, heat it up and then slice the Panini in half which causes tiny pieces of aluminum to be in your sandwich so be mindful if you get those. Food at the restaurant was OK, nothing stood out to me. Some of the items are good like the sushi appetizer, but they gave you three tiny pieces of it. I saw some people taking food to go wrapped in saran wrap however I wasn’t sure if that was an additional charge or not. No one ever mentioned it to us when we arrived. They offer supplemental options during dinner that you can pay extra for- unless you get a package. We did not have to pay extra but those supplemental options do not change daily. The steak was good however, the shrimp option was just five small pieces of shrimp on a kebab. Overall, the facilities are nice, but it’s really the view that saves them. The views are so breath taking- and everywhere you go you see the mountains and ocean. No one seemed to go above and beyond, at least for us on this trip.
