Beautiful Antigua

Jul 14, 2024 963rajesh Queens, New York

Beautiful senri and beaches very friendly locals and resort staff. A bit outdated but still the view and privacy was worth it. Resort food was excellent. Only negative thing is the flies during the dat probably due to time of year. Excellence boat tour was great.

We returned to Cocobay after 10 years to find some changes to the place, you now made your Lunch and Evening Meal reservations when you went in for Breakfast and not at reception as before, the bar area had changed a bit and there was a coffee shop and water / ice station at reception, you were given your own personal metal water bottle to use and to take home and other additional areas have been made around the place for secret meals and sunbathing. The Deluxe Cottage we were given was at the far end where the dirt track road was and we asked to be moved as there was noise from the cars using the road and some locals partying at 4.00 am in the abandoned shed that is at that end. We were moved and was given a choice of the Deluxe Cottages that was available, we chose one with a wonderful view. On the first Saturday afternoon before we moved there was loud music being played, that loud it was vibrating the cottage, you could feel it through the floor and items were moving on the side surfaces, we thought it was the cottage in front of us and was going to have a word. when i went outside you could feel the force of the soundwaves hit you as you passed between the cottages and i realised the the music was coming from the little beach bar on Valley Church Beach, over a mile away. Turns out it was a sound check and the real performance was starting at 6.00 pm, so we had the deafening noise again as we got ready for our evening meal. when we went for our Evening meal we asked at reception what was going on and was told it was a guest DJ preforming at the little beach bar, which they have occasionally and they had call and asked for it to be turned down and had called the police to see if they could do anything and told us it could legally go on till 12.00 am Midnight, which it did. It was that loud that we could not even hear Cocobay's own evening entertainment or the Tree Frogs singing. There is also more Catamarans Trips coming to valley Church Beach with loud music when the cruise ships are in, can be three at a time, they tend to come to have lunch on the beach, stay a couple of hours and go. But apart from those incidents everything was great, seen some staff that was there ten years ago and made friends with the new staff as well. Booked trips with reception as asked Virgin rep about some trips and they never got back to us. Read less

Cocobay Resort-Beautiful place, great staff, good food, noisy jet skis.

My husband and I celebrated our 10th anniversary at Cocobay Resort June 27th through July 2nd, 2024 and were very happy with our choice. The staff at this resort go out of their way to ensure that each guest has a wonderful experience from the front desk, to the restaurant, to the grounds, everything is absolutely immaculate. It's a lovely setting and, at least while we were there, attracted a diverse age group who all seemed to enjoy the laid back environment. The resort does a wonderful job selecting evening entertainment that guests can enjoy during and after dinner. The entertainment wraps up by 11:00 PM and after that, you can enjoy the chorus of frogs that sing you to sleep. There is one restaurant where breakfast, lunch, and dinner is served. If you're lucky, you'll get to meet the delightful Mel S. and Mr. Gore who made sure that we were well taken care of and that our dietary restrictions were considered. The entire wait staff is well educated on gluten free options to ensure that you stay both happy and healthy. Additionally, there is also a pool/beach bar where guests can get paninis and pizzas (they do have GF bread and pizza). The food was good and they did a good job mixing up the menu. A unique feature of the resort is that it boasts a coffee shop where you can get the most wonderful lattes (iced and hot) and other special coffees made to order. Guests have the option of pre-ordering their coffee to be brought to their room ahead of breakfast and placed in a little pass through built into their cottage. For a fee, you can get breakfast delivered to your cottage as well. My husband and I booked a deluxe cottage with a private pool and were absolutely delighted. When we first walked in, we were met with "Happy Anniversary" spelled out in flowers and which illustrates the lengths the staff goes to to make sure each guest feels special. We had an unobstructed view of the ocean and delighted in waking up to the view each morning. The cottage is upscale rustic and was spacious and comfortable. It had a mini fridge, a coffee maker, an AC, ceiling fan, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, shower gel, a hammock AND an outdoor claw footed bathtub located behind a privacy screen on the deck of the cottage. The one drawback of our cottage was that the AC wasn't powerful enough to cool the bathroom and even with the outside doors open nothing helped to cool it down. It made it next to impossible to get ready without being in a full sweat. It would have been nice if there had been a fan provided to at least stir the air a bit. The resort sits between two beaches and you can easily snorkel from the beach. The water is warm and calm and given the rocky shoreline along the restaurant, provided a welcome habitat for a variety of fish and rays. There are so many things to love about this place. There is one significant drawback and it's unfortunately, it's not something that I think the hotel management can do anything about. Given it's location between 2 beaches and the calm and tranquil water, it's perfect for jet skis. The jet skiers start up every morning about 7 AM and go until just about dusk. It makes for incessantly noisy days especially if you just want to hang out in your cottage and enjoy your pool. Additionally, if you're going to snorkel, we highly recommend you a wear brightly colored swim shirt as my husband was almost hit by a jet skier even though we were very close to the large rocks.

We had an unforgettable honeymoon at Cocobay, staying in M1 from June 20-27. The resort's breathtaking views and amenities were outstanding, but what truly made our experience exceptional was the incredible staff. Their warmth and dedication made it hard to say goodbye. We wish we had taken more pictures with the staff, but here are three we managed to capture with Sandy, Jermain, and Bernard. 🥰♥️ Special thanks to Sandy for her thoughtful care in cleaning our space and her kindness in making us feel at home with her regular check-ins. Jermaine charmed us with his personality and took the best photos of us, creating memories we’ll cherish forever. Bernard went above and beyond during check-in and throughout our stay, ensuring we felt safe and well taken care of. Beyond these three amazing people, every staff member we came in contact with was incredibly kind, and we miss everyone dearly. We can’t wait to return to Cocobay one day! We hope to come back every 3-5 years to celebrate our anniversary ♥️ Sincerely, Sam and Aaron Read less
