What We Love
- With its own hiking trails, a water park, a water sports center and an adults-only section, this all-inclusive resort truly has something for everyone.
Things to Know
- You can't find a better hotel for families than this one; the waterpark alone makes this resort stand out, and your kids will absolutely love the two waterslides.
Experience cherished moments with your sweetie each day on the Harmony side of the hotel. Lying side-by-side on intimate daybeds, or sharing special moments in the adults-only pool, you and your honey can enjoy a second honeymoon. Over at the Splash part of the hotel, it's the delighted squealing of kids having fun that warms your heart, as they cascade down one the resort's two water slides. Make enduring family memories as you challenge them to paintball or explore the area to learn about the island. If you want to take a walk on the wild side, guests also have free admission to the petting zoo where they can interact with the resort's goats, ducks and sheep!
You'll want to take advantage of the cornucopia of spa treatments available at Kai Mer Spa. Couples love the Champagne and Chocolate Package, busy moms can indulge with the Seaweed Wrap restorative and the Teen's Escape massage and facial or the Island Exotica Sugar Buff exfoliating skin treatment is perfect for your teenagers.
Four restaurants are ready to assuage your hunger after a full day of fun. Rattan chairs and Chinese lanterns add an Oriental note to Silk, where you might choose fish in black-bean sauce for your main course, followed by sticky-rice pudding. When you hanker for the flavors of Caribbean cuisine, Calabash has the best jerk entrees to put the kibosh on hunger.
About a mile away, visit the 17th-century French Vieux Fort, and a little farther to the south, the Vieux Fort Lighthouse. Take a short drive up the western side of the island to the widely acclaimed Diamond Falls. Then retreat to a comfortable room to get ready to do it all again tomorrow.

Nov 22, 2024Our Ninth Holiday at Coconut Bay Beach Resort & Spa
This was our ninth holiday at Coconut Bay and was just as good, if not better, than all those that went before. We are now firmly part of the CBay ‘family’ and are made so welcome it just makes us want to return (as we are doing next March!) The main asset of the resort, the staff at all levels, ensured our holiday was a delight from start to finish. We have always enjoyed talking to the staff and so many of them took the time to talk to us. We really value this and it made our holiday so much more than just staying at a resort. Many of the rooms in the Harmony wing have been recently renovated and, if our room was representative, we found the new fixtures and fittings very agreeable. Certainly, they would counter the previous occasional feedback comments of some of the rooms being tired. Now they are very clean, up to date and fully functional. We enjoyed having breakfast on the Veranda rather than in the main restaurant as it is child free and much more laid back. We also experienced the Calabash and Silk restaurant menus on the Veranda which is now a permanent option rather than eating in those restaurants, providing a more convivial dining atmosphere. We also ate at the La Luna restaurant twice, one night being the ‘Perfect Night’ option. Being right on the waterfront the weather can be a factor but now that windows have been introduced the dining experience has improved decidedly, supported by an excellent food selection. One especially good new feature is the introduction of cabanas on the Paradise Beach. There are now 8 new structures available for CBay guests and, for us, they make for a perfect day, providing beautiful views across the waves to Maria Island and a great level of privacy even though they are right on the beach. We thought that Cbay is holding its own with the natural Sargassum weed problem that is endemic across the Caribbean. Other than one somewhat rough sea day due to a tropical storm well to the far west of the Caribbean Sea, the beach cleaning tractor kept the beach virtually weed free and the level of weed in the water was minimal. Returning to the topic of the staff, it was good to meet the new General Manager, John Miles, who has a lovely style and personality. We would also like to mention Shawna Kadou who rarely gets a mention as she is one of the ‘back room’ staff in the Reservations Department but without her and her hard working colleagues none of our reservations would be made. There are so many wonderful face-to-face staff it would take too long to mention them all but we would like to especially thank Dahlia at the Concierge Desk, Bertha, Nessa, Mahalia, Keisun and Shekina in the main restaurant, Gina at La Luna, Tara at the restaurant booking desk, Tiffany at the excursions desk, Joel the cabana buggy driver who was always smiling, Claude and Sage at the Harmony Bar, Tyron at the Paradise Bar, Ed who seemed to work at all the bars and of course not to forget the irrepressible Dillan who moved back to Harmony Bar while we were there. Our thanks go to all of them and all those we haven’t mentioned for making our stay such a wonderful experience. As we hope you can gather, we feel that Coconut Bay is a great place to go for a holiday and we recommend it unreservedly.

Surf Shack
The staff at the Coconut Bay Resort Surf Shack are amazing. There is plenty of equipment to choose from, paddle boards, ocean kayaks, snorkeling equipment, and one can even learn to kite surf to top it off. The staff is truly amazing, friendly and knowledgeable!

Nov 21, 2024Caribbean Paradise
Just back to a cold and a snowy UK after a fantastic seven days at Coconut Bay Beach Resort. Prior to leaving we were constantly checking the BBC Weather app which showed Vieux Fort (nearest town the the resort) as having constant thunder, lighting and rain for every day and all day of our stay. My advice is ignore the BBC Weather app, it was completely wrong. We had sun every day, some cloud, a wonderful cooling sea breeze and only had rain on our last day. The hotel is only a 5 minute drive from the airport which is great after an 11 hour flight. No need to worry about the airport causing a disruption during your stay. Aircraft only came in from about 4pm and had left again by 8pm. On a busy day there would be four planes so nothing like living next door to Heathrow or Manchester airports. On arrival we were greeted with a cool towel and a welcome cocktail. Perfect start. Roney on the front desk checked us in with a smile and made us feel very welcome. He explained everything, gave us our welcome pack including the Breeze newspaper which details the numerous daily activities put on by the resort. We were in room 345 on the Harmony side. The room looked beautiful when we first entered. Our room attendant Star had left a lovely message and wonderful towel animal. Star worked hard all week keeping our room spotless and leaving us little inspiring, cheerful messages. The hotel has a ‘Strive for Five’ motto and I so wanted to give the resort a five but sadly I feel I have to knock off a quarter of a point for the room. There is rust in the shower room and on the coffee machine. The shower has a curtain rather than a screen so the floor often got soaked. It was also very difficult to maintain a good temperature, either too hot or too cold with just the slightest movement of the control. The cupboard in which the fridge was kept was chipped and the door hanging off. I didn’t report these items to management because we could see that rooms were being refurbished. In future if these things are fixed as and when so the refurbished rooms maintain that new look then this resort will definitely achieve their five stars. On a positive note regarding our room, we had a superb view of the gardens and ocean. The fridge was stocked with Piton beer, Coke, Sprite and water. Every day items were replaced and if we wanted more of anything Star kindly arranged that for us. There was plenty of space of our clothes, we had 24 hangers which was more than enough but I’m sure Star would have got us more had we asked. Our room had two beds both were firm and that was perfect. I love a firm bed and had the most wonderful sleeps. The room was quiet. Only noise we could hear were the toads chirping as soon as it became dark, soothing sound to listen to. I had read reviews before we arrived saying it is almost impossible to get dinner reservations. We were too tired to sort these the day we arrived so went to the reservation desk after breakfast on our first morning. We had no problem in getting reservations for Silk, Calabash and Trattoria. Out of the three Silk was our favourite. The presentation of the food in all restaurants was lovely but the flavours of Silk were sublime. The service we had in all three restaurants was definitely five star. Neptune and Cherie in Silk, Philma in Calabash and Jomiah and Rockson in Trattoria all made us feel very special. Thank you. Most mornings we ate breakfast at the Coconut Market Place where Theona was always on hand to top up our drinks. An iced coffee and Mimosa is my ideal way to start the day! We tried the smoothie, waffle and omelet stations. All superb. My favourite smoothie was the Hulk. On a couple of mornings we had breakfast on the Veranda. Definitely paradise sitting there drinking mimosas, feeling the sea breeze and looking out at the beautiful view whilst eating delicious French toast. Kirara did a fabulous job looking after us. Lunchtimes we ate at FlipFlops. Great cheeseburgers and veggie quesadillas. We spent most of our days by the pool so FlipFlops meant we didn’t need to change out of our wet swimsuits. It was also close to two cocktail bars so what’s not to love! Bre worked so hard keeping all the tables clean and helping us bring food to the tables. Always with a smile too. Some people would leave towels on the sunbeds from early morning but we never had a problem finding two chairs in a spot we liked whenever we arrived. One morning we picked a spot next to three chairs that had been ‘reserved’ with towels and a hat. Those chairs were never used by the time we left at 1:30pm. That area of the pool was closing at 2pm to get ready for an evening event. So those selfish people never even used those chairs. The resort has so many pools and plenty of chairs for everyone you really don’t need to be one of those people. Although we were Harmony guests our favourite pool was the Splash pool. Possibly because it had the swim up bar! The Dirty Banana is the best! Dona D worked the poolside, offering to bring drinks and tidy away glasses. Always smiling and a chat for everyone, such a lovely lady. Despite the hotel being at full capacity we never had a problem getting a sun bed. Never had to queue at a bar. Always found a space to sit and chill. We wanted to rest and relax this holiday. Which we did, I got through four books. I left three on the bookshelf to the left of the Coconut Market Place, so if you read more than you expected, pop along and find yourself another read. Due to our lazy, chill mode we didn’t get involved in much of the resort entertainment but we did attend the Country and Western Night which was great fun sitting by the pool eating our meal and singing along to some country classics. We weren’t brave enough to get up front and dance! Our server Brad did a marvellous job of helping us stay hydrated. The other activity we attended was the Rum Tasting on the Star Gazing Deck. I stopped counting after our 14th run! The Marigot Bay Peanut Cream tastes like a liquid alcoholic Snickers bar. Heaven! Jedi was very knowledgeable and Mel and Kaylee were great looking after the shot glasses. We arranged two excursions with Tiffany at the excursion desk. We weren’t entirely sure what we wanted but Tiffany was extremely helpful and informative. We settled on the half day Whale Watching and full day Land And Sea. Both trips were fabulous but the Land and Sea was our favourite - ocean, Pitons, rum punch, swimming, waterfalls, volcanoes and views. In summary, stop reading reviews and book this resort. You will love it. We did 😍🌴

Perfect break away with a friend
Visited the hotel with a friend at the beginning of November .. we’d requested a twin bedded room , but when we arrived we were allocated one of the renovated rooms which were lovely but unfortunately had a double bed .. we returned to reception but nothing was available and were told to return the following day.. The next day we were given one of the older rooms but at least it had twin beds .. the bathroom was dated but was clean and adequate .. the rooms were cleaned daily and we had towel animals and little messages left on the bed each day which was a nice touch . The food in the buffet was delicious with plenty of choice and was hot which In some hotels I’ve visited isint always the case .. We had breakfast on the terrace one morning which made a nice change from the buffet , we also tried the Italian and the Asian we enjoyed both but The Asian was definitely our favourite . We made friends with Mahailia on the coffee bar , she made the best Lattes and always made sure there were cookies for us to enjoy . We spent a couple of days on the Paradise Beach , yes there is seaweed but the hotel clear it as best they can several times a day . There’s plenty of activities to enjoy at the hotel if you want too, but the one you should take part in is the water aerobics with Vernon, he is amazing .. We did the land and sea tour which we booked through the hotel , was a great day out , we thoroughly enjoyed it . My one criticism would be a couple of the ladies on reception we found very unfriendly and the staff on the towel station the same Would love to return at some point and bring my husband

St Lucia round 4 did not disappoint
Yet again the resort did not fail to provide the experience it promises. We are planning our 5th visit already. The staff were pleased to see us back and continue to be as at-tentative as always. We even met Donna round the pool bar, who we had not sen for 6 years, but she even remembered our names. Melika, our house keeper and Shekina, who looked after us in Coconut walk for breakfast, went above and beyond with help and information about the local area, customs and general friendship. Marx and Tyron in the bars are also worth getting acquainted with and run a really good vibe at the bar. Whilst I like the idea of encouraging guests to comment on how the staff do and the rewards they get for Trip Advisor mentions, what are the chances of the many faceless and nameless members of staff who we never get to meet or interact with, without who, the resort could not deliver such a grand experience. I am of course talking of the staff who work tirelessly to wash dishes, do the laundry, clean the pools, rake the beach, keep the grounds looking so beautiful, all the food prep, maintenance team and any others I have not mentioned behind the scenes. I personally try to get to thank as many of them as I can personally, but its just not possible to get to them all. It just seems they are the forgotten ones who I have seen no mention of in any review I have read. Please can you pass on our most sincere thanks to all those that we cant get to interact with personally, and maybe look at ways in which your back of house staff get the public recognition and praise they deserve.
