Located on the Atlantic side of the island, Cocoloba's sixteen acres of tropical gardens mantel a breathtaking coral bluff that divides two of the 'World's Best' beaches. Crowning the western bluff of Meads Bay, Cocoloba's Main House is an architectural mix of European and Caribbean styling. The A-frame structure, ethereal interiors and pastel colors are the perfect compliment to the island's soft and natural beauty. The Main House overlooks the beautiful crescents of Meads and Barnes Bay and is home to the reception area, the Cocoloba Restaurant and the resort's two poolside bars. Cascading from the Main House to the shores of Barnes Bay are the chalets and buildings that hold the resort's one hundred and ten private rooms. Breezy island styling and Euro-western standards provide guests with spacious comfort. Beachside chalets have sunken living rooms while suites have slightly larger floor space. Each room is well appointed with patio/balcony, mini-refrigerator, in room safe, air conditioning, ceiling fan, telephone and private bath complete with walk-in shower, bidet, hair dryer and bathrobe.

The Cocoloba Restaurant, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, serves an array of International and West Indian cuisine.

Five dining islands provide intimate settings both above and around the tank.
