We have just returned from our first stay at Cobblers Cove, and our first visit to Barbados. The staff are a true credit to the hotel and we heartily thank them for one of our most magical vacations ever. In particular, we appreciated the hospitality and warmth shown to us by Juanne, Alea, Kennedy, and Gregory. We are already plotting our return!
The property is stunning. Walk along the shore and hunt for sea glass. The breakwater allows for easy swimming in the gorgeous Caribbean Sea. We saw hummingbirds, the island's iconic monkeys, and sea turtles just off the shore. Don't miss the boat ride with Roger and the garden tour with Kennedy, both complimentary!
The sunbeds were over-the-top comfortable. Pool attendants circulated with ice water, cool towels, and sorbet throughout the afternoon. The interiors throughout are beautifully curated. Our room was lovingly cleaned each day and we were spoiled by the turndown service. If we were being really picky, we felt the pool could have been skimmed more often.
Breakfast each morning (as well as Afternoon Tea) are included in your stay. We enjoyed both! We did note that the dinners are lacking for the cost, but find that typical of most resorts, even high-quality ones. We'd probably skip the Tuesday evening BBQ and take dinner at one of the nearby restaurants instead (Fishpot is excellent!) if we were to do it over. That said, the entertainment in the evenings was delightful, including steel drum musicians and a jazz singer.
