"Room was very clean and well supplied. Love having the marina there and restaurant. Food was yummy. Service a little slow for the amount of guests there. I thought the pool area could be a little more maintained as far as swept and free of debris. Overall we will be back!!"

"Convenient location from airport and Gregory Town. Restaurant with great food was just steps away. Tiffany and her staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Easy to rent a car from there through Mr. Jones with pick up and drop off service. Nice TV, coffee in room, AC worked well. Rooms simple but clean and the price was right. Very responsive communication after booking and before arrival . Would definitely stay there again."

"We really enjoyed our stay. The location was awesome, right off the dock. I prefer to be downtown with walkable access to restaurants and shopping. It was also easy to receive and park our golf cart. The staff was very understanding about my work schedule and the food was great. A few more towel bars and places to hang wet things in the bathroom wouldn't go amiss but we would absolutely stay there again."

"Hello, Having been to many Relais and Chateau properties through out the glove, my expectations were very high. I think The Cove did a great job overall for being in the Bahamas, however for this category of luxury resort, they fell short in many ways: They did not accomodate for an early check in, there were several power outages, internet and WiFi outages, there were water outages, the onsite water craft for excursions was not as clean as would be expected, there was a red ant infestation in our luxury bungalow which required sleeping in another suite for the night while fumigation took place. The staff was lovely, however, these issues need to be addressed."
