The Cove Eleuthera

If you look for that place where Aristotle was looking for Alexander the Great..you found it. So much space for your mind to decide what’s happiness on earth.

The Cove was absolutely unreal. It’s hard to believe that the pictures don’t do it justice. This was our first time in the Bahamas and fell in love with Eleuthera. The staff was exceptional and so friendly, they truly went above and beyond. The property is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen and I can’t wait to come back. We celebrated my husbands 40th birthday and it will always be one to remember. Demetrius, Chad, Oral, and Big O were our absolute favorites and really made the trip. The sunset cruise is definitely a must. If you’re looking to just relax and be on island time, this is the place for you.

Top notch resort. Absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Right on the beach. Wonderful marine life. Very comfortable rooms.

The Cove is simply outstanding. Excellent service and amenities. This was our third trip and it gets better with each visit. Cannot wait to return again.

The Cove Eleuthera is a beautiful , peaceful property and the beaches are lovely with crystal clear water . We enjoyed using the kayaks and snorkeling around the beaches . Where our experience fell short was with the service at the Cove . Most of the employees were friendly , but seemed to lack training and professionalism. The service on the beach was for the most part non existent . We had to move the heavy lounge chairs ourselves , put up the umbrellas and go looking for someone to replenish our waters / ice or order drinks . Most of the time when at the pool , we had to go inside the restaurant to find someone to order food or beverages . We were also disappointed in the restaurant . The food was just okay , and very expensive . An appetizer of fried calamari was $28 but only had about 8 pieces . At dinner every night they were out of several items which is okay however the servers should tell You that up front . We ordered "French toast " at breakfast which was basically two slices of banana bread toasted ,without anything else on the plate , and we had to ask for syrup . We thought that they could do a lot more with the restaurant that would just make it a nicer experience . One being more windows all around so that you can take advantage of the beautiful view . It was very dark inside , and didn't fit the beachy aesthetic. It may have been the time of year , but we could not eat outside at all as the flies were literally swarming . Perhaps with some fly traps or repellent candles this type of situation could be rectified . Most people enjoy eating outside when on a beach vacation. We stayed in a two bedroom oceanview suite . One of the ceiling fans wasn't working and we asked them to fix it twice . It remained inoperable for our 6 day stay . Housekeeping left towels in our daughter's bathroom that actually were ripped . One of the days , they forgot to leave the complimentary bottles of waters for us in the suite and we had to ask several times for them to bring some . When staying at a Relais and Chateaux the expectation is that the experience should be close to perfect , and unfortunately it wasn't .
