Poets Cove Resort & Spa

Absolutely appalling. This resort is barely holding on. There is no food from 11 am till 5 pm so you have to leave the resort to eat. They cater to the boaters and islanders so the pools are filled with people from those groups hotel guests are very secondary. There is no pool maintenance so the pools are filthy and the grounds are treacherous. There is no AC in the rooms. And the best part the second last night I pulled back my sheets to find fresh blood on them, which is not acceptable, and of course there is no one there at that hour to help out so your screwed. The only good thing Will say is that the food is great when they manage to get your order correct, the hotel needs shut down. Seriously go somewhere else.

We rented the 3 bedroom villa, two 3 bedroom cottages and two king lodge rooms for 17 adults and 2 children. Some decor is a bit worn and there are some small quirks in the cottages and villa but the beds and linens are new and comfortable. The kitchens and bathrooms are spotless. The views are wonderful and the landscaping is lovely. We had breakfast in the Aurora and dinner in Syren's. The staff in both were efficient and very personable. We were all impressed with the food and the service (and keep in mind there were 19 of us all at once). We worked around the road closure and it was not an issue. I organized the successful two day family celebration with the help of Ilia (accommodation), Christine (Front Desk) and Chrystal (food service). Thank you. Many of us plan to return in the future. Highly recommend.

We were really looking forward to visiting this resort. We stayed in a 2 bedroom cottage and we were really disappointed in the cleanliness and condition of the furniture. There were stains on the carpet, couches, the wood furniture has discolouration. The shower had mold, cobwebs were everywhere, think layers of dust and one of the beds smelled like smoke. We were not told about the road closure and only found out when we arrived. The restaurants weren’t open when they said they would be. We would not come back, especially for the price we paid. The fully stocked kitchen didn’t even include a corkscrew or frying pan. The place is run down and some of the pathways aren’t lit in the dark.

Don’t believe hours of operation for cafe. We knew it closed at 1:30 so rushed the 8 of us to get there and arrived at 1:05 pm to find out they already shut down the coffe machines and only drip coffee available. We didn’t come for drip coffee and who knows if it that would have been hot or old. Small things tell you about any business. Not impressed

Wonderful weekend get away for a special birthday at this beautifully located fabulous resort. Would like to return in the warmer months to enjoy getting out on the water and stay in one of the lovely cottages.
