The Cove Eleuthera

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 .

Truly a five-star, yet relaxed experience. The resort has incredibly nice facilities, beautiful gardens and great restaurants. It’s simple and elegant and wonderfully relaxing. Plus, with Tradewinds Air and Tropical Ocean its very easy and inexpensive to get to Eleuthera. Immigration and customers are easy, and since you leave out of a private FOB, security is a breeze. The room are very nice, especially the beachfront rooms, linens are very good, beds are top rate, comfortable. Though the resort was fully booked, it never felt busy, there were always fabulous places to relax by the pool or the beach or on a wonderful deck out on the point. This is a great resort, truly a hidden gem.

awesome place, the only thing is the issue with the restaurant menu that is very limited and too expensive for what it has to offer.

My wife and I just returned from an incredible stay at The Cove, Eleuthera, and we are already planning a longer return trip for next year. While the property is stunning, it is the world-class staff that truly sets this resort apart. The service culture here is built on "finding a yes." We saw this in action from day one: Dining: During our first dinner, we were hesitant about a specific sauce for a fish dish. Instead of just describing it, our waiter went to the kitchen and brought out a sample for us to try first. This kind of proactive hospitality is rare. Exploring: The next morning, we mentioned wanting to check out some nearby beaches. Rather than just giving us a map, a staff member grabbed his own car, personally drove us there, and even came back to pick us up later! The Grounds & Vibe From the moment you arrive, you notice the meticulous attention to detail. The grounds are beautifully maintained; the lush, tropical landscaping is perfectly manicured and frames the pathways leading to two private white-sand beaches. It feels less like a hotel and more like a secluded private sanctuary. If you are looking for a high-end Bahamian getaway where you are treated like a VIP guest in someone’s home, The Cove is it. Pro Tip: Do not miss the Grouper Sandwich at lunch—it is absolutely bomb!

Gorgeous resort! You will not be disappointed in the views from the property. Rooms all have such a great view and very well maintained
