Similar to CocoBay in Antigua
 
I'm looking for a resort on a new island that is similar in style to CocoBay in Antigua. If anyone has visited there and has any suggestions for me I would appreciate it. We are an early 30s couple looking for a secluded, romantic getaway before we start a family. For those of you who are not familiar with CocoBay we are looking for a resort where Cottage/bungalow style housing is a must, AI would be helpful...I'm the cook in the family and this is vacation, I'm not cooking. But very open to eating around the island too, not afraid to explore or try roadside food stands (preferred by the hubby). Must have walk down, close beach access. Caribbean Ocean preferred but not necessity. Not interested in Mexico.
Help would be appreciated.
Thank you!!!!!!

I didn't mention price range but up to $250 a night would be preferred and we would be traveling in the off season.

Why aren't you booking CocoBay, is it hard to get to or over budget?

Ti Kaye in St Lucia offers bungalow accommodation and it's looks like they have added AI as a meal plan option. It is rather isolated but you can take taxis or a rental car to get around. I believe the hotel organises excursions to Anse La Raye Friday Night Fish Fry which is not too far & you can get your street food. It is on a very nice beach called Anse Cochon which is also good for snorkelling. There are however many steps down to the beach from the hotel. We haven't stayed there but have visited for dinner and cocktails and have snorkelled from their beach.

We're looking to just try a new island. We've been to CocoBay a few times, usually for 2 weeks. This is just a quick 5-7days. So something new would be perfect. Also, and this is a bittersweet statement, CocoBay has been discovered by the world an has expanded because of it. The quality of service has in NO WAY declined, so nothing negative to say, but we're looking for a place tht harkens back to a time when CocoBay was still a well kept secret.
Not looking for an exact duplicate, and in not way expecting it. But there have GOT to be others like it :)

Sorry, I can't think of any specific destination or hotel that would compare to what you are looking for. Especially since you excluded Mexico.

Here is a list of AI resorts in the Caribbean. Maybe it will help with your search.
