Rex Resorts - accommodation in Antigua

Today is our last day at Cocobay for our honeymoon trip. It was an amazing week long trip. We stayed in a room with a plunge pool, bath tub and outdoor recliners called Loblolly Cay. It felt very private without being too far of a walk. We’d recommend Cocobay for any honeymoons or couple trips. This isn’t the place to bring your single friend. I want to tell every couple I know to visit Cocobay Antigua. We got some amazing souvenirs from Norma on the beach and rode jet skis with Robin on the cocobay beach. I would say Cocobay is very different from the typical Mexico all inclusive. This resort is not for everyone. Most people spent a lot of time alone and you didn’t see many large groups hanging out. Also, there are no pool bars and only a couple pool/beach side servers. Additionally, there are no buffets so meal service is slow paced and plan for an hour at breakfast/lunch and 2 hrs at dinner. The food was very good and lots of variety. If you don’t like your meal, there were simple burgers you could order to go. Other small items - wear bug spray. We got a couple bites each and we were very vigilant. Some peoples legs were ate up. And wear lots of sunscreen and sun shirts. The sun is intense even in the shade. Also the bar shuts down at 10:30 but you can get drinks for your room if you show your appreciation and ask nicely. We love Cocobay and will be back.

The staff was so helpful! We decided to go to the beach on the east side and the front desk was able to help set up a taxi ride for us and charge it to our room. We felt more comfortable knowing we wouldn’t be charged a different amount then discussed. The drinks were delicious and so were the tapas. The pool for the room was a delight!

The staff especially Stella,Deanna and Jason were great. The food was great however they kept running short on food items and liquor. It appears that this resort rations off food liquor and supplies based on the season and/or time of day(if they are about to close). This is not the staffs fault but they have to take the backlash from the guest. Our rooms were not cleaned everyday and not restocked appropriately. We requested toilet paper that took 45 minutes to get. We enjoyed our stay but i would not consider this a Luxury resort or nowhere near 5 or 4 stars more like 3.5 stars. This is a result of poor management. This was our first stay at a Royalton I expected more.
