Cocobay Resort, Antigua If you haven’t noticed already, Antigua is the Caribbean capital of plunge pool rooms. That includes the terrific Cocobay Resort. While Cocobay may be even better known as the home of the world-renowned Sheer Rocks restaurant, it’s a excellent hotel in its own right, with a number of marvelous ocean-view cottages with plunge pools perfect for peering out at the wonder of the satin-turquoise water. The hotel even has a very cool option: a “floating pool” breakfast served right, well, in your pool.
