Dining overview
One open‑air hillside restaurant serving a‑la‑carte breakfast, lunch and dinner with changing menus; plus beach bar grill options
Beach
StandoutSet between two picture-perfect beaches with coral sand and calm turquoise water, both feeling private despite Antigua's public-beach law. A beachside grill and bars round out the experience.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Two beaches: Valley Church and Jolly Harbour
- Coral sand, calm turquoise water
- Loungers always available
- Beach grill and bars on site
Heads up
- Occasional drug soliciting on the public beach
- Jet ski and catamaran vendors can pester
Detailed beach reporting coming soon.
Pools
StrongThe main draw is the private plunge and infinity pools attached to sunset and bay-view cottages, which most guests prefer over the communal pool. Many skip the shared pool entirely in favor of the beach.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Private plunge pools in many cottages
- Sunset cottage infinity pools with ocean views
- Pool bar service near the beach
Heads up
- Communal pool feels unnecessary given beach quality
The resort has a main public pool. Additionally, several cottage types, such as the Sunset Pool, Beach Front Pool, and Bay View Pool Cottages, feature private infinity plunge pools.
Rooms & suites
Standalone wooden cottages (about 30–35) with private balconies, hammocks, Adirondack chairs, king‑size canopy beds with mosquito nets, outdoor showers; select cottages include private plunge or infinity pools
Room details here are AI-assisted, compiled from the resort's own website and public sources. Categories and names change often — confirm the exact room when you book.
What’s included
StrongPricey but repeatedly called worth it, with barefoot-luxury cottages, à la carte dining, and service that punches above the room rate. A more affordable path to a private, upscale Caribbean honeymoon than the big-name adults-only brands.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Private cottage experience at a reasonable rate
- À la carte dining included
- High repeat-guest rate
Heads up
- One recent guest noted visible decline in grounds and upkeep
- Rustic finishes won't suit those expecting polished five-star

“I cannot say enough about cocos hotel. My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and our stay couldn’t have been better. Views are amazing, staff was so friendly and on top of everything. Food was amazing. We even had our flight delayed over 20 hours and we called cocos to see if they had a room available for one night so we wouldn’t be stranded at the airport, this was at 9pm and they got us private transportation back to the resort that night and were so great about it. We can’t thank...”

“One of the most beautiful places to visit. Its my second time to Antigua. The rest was amazing and the people and atmosphere were stellar. We had a room with a pool that was on the side of a slight cliff overlooking the ocean. SUBLIME!!! You must must must go to COCOs and become one of the family. They do have young working cats and trust me dont worry if you are allergic they DO NOT bother you. People that say anything about them are RIDICULOUS and high maintenance. They serve a purpose...”
