Calabash Cove Resort & Spa

While planning for our anniversary getaway, Calabash Cove stood out for its great reviews and beautiful photos, so our expectations were high coming in - and our expectations were met or exceeded in every way. It is the ideal resort for people who are looking for a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. We really liked having the bed and breakfast package as a more budget-friendly option instead of all-inclusive. If you don't plan to drink a lot of booze, or if you want to eat off-resort, it's a great choice. But there's no need to eat anywhere else, because the restaurant was outstanding. Every meal was delicious, and there was plenty of variety with the daily specials. The live music every night was fun and added to the experience. The restaurant would benefit from some ceiling fans to make dining a little more comfortable in the evening when the wind dies down. We stayed in Cottage 1, which is at the northern end of the property and provides total privacy, surrounded by lush vegetation and away from walking paths. The plunge pool and outdoor shower were highlights. The cottage's lounge area, where the TV is located, is not air conditioned. There is a ceiling fan, but it's really too small for the space - I recommend that they upgrade to larger fans. Everyone on the staff was friendly and helpful - particularly Travis, who made our anniversary dinner in the gazebo very special. The little touches impressed us, like the glasses of rum punch at our arrival, and the complimentary bottle of champagne and special decorations in our room for our anniversary. The couple's massage at our cottage was wonderful. The landscaping was gorgeous, and the beach area was well maintained with plenty of seating and hammocks. We enjoyed using the kayaks and snorkeling gear - there's a good snorkeling area on the north end of the beach area that is more rocky than right in front of the beach where we saw a variety of colorful fish and sea urchins. If we ever return to St. Lucia, we would absolutely stay at Calabash Cove again.

Calabash was beautiful. The small, intimate feeling was nice coming from a huge resort where no one on the property knew you. The food & service was amazing here. We felt the guest rooms could use updating. Nightlight wouldn’t work, weatherstripping needed around the doors to patio & front door. Shampoo was offered but not conditioner. Water issues with hot & cold or no water at all for a brief time. Ceiling fans would be a nice addition in the open air lobby & dining room. We had to bring our personal fans at meal times.

What an amazingly beautiful serene place! It certainly is a cove of pure tranquility. From the welcome at the car park entrance to the front desk and staff, whether it be restaurant staff, gardeners, security, bartenders, all were genuinely warm and hospitable. Thank you Calabash Cove for having me and giving me the reset I needed! Recognition especially to Donna who went above and beyond to bring me a ripe avocado for breakfast! Rena, Alicia and Joakim just to name a few of the outstanding employees there.

An absolutely exquisite experience at this beautiful, friendly, luxurious resort. Small enough to be boutique, grand enough to offer all the facilities and services we needed. Exceptional views across the bay and the most beautiful swimmable sea you could ever ask for.

Absolute heaven ! Great time to come as very quiet and beach is incredible- weather and sea perfect! Amazing all inclusive - so much alcohol and great cocktails- live dinner music - stunning views over the ocean from dining room and even a bar to swim too in the pool. Food yum too - great lobster cocktail
