Cobblers Cove

Having stayed in Barbados previously on 4 occasions, we feel we are getting to know the island and the high level of service the island offers, with just a very few exceptions. However, cutting to the chase - Cobblers Cove was perfection in our opinion, location, rooms, gardens, breakfast over looking the sea, but most of all the staff are the best we have ever experienced - lovely, helpful, and genuinely want you to have a great time and your expectations met. I cannot recommend them enough, you wont be disappointed if you pick Cobblers Cove Hotel... Thank you again for hiking me recover my AirPods, and for running such a top class resort... it was a total pleasure staying with you, you provided everything we wanted and had hoped for (including the traditional afternoon tea), and am very happy to provide the best level of review.

This was our second stay Cobblers Cove and we loved it so much that we are going to book for next year. Last year was all about exploring Barbados as it was our first time to visit and the wonderful reception team organised a fabulous guide who we ended up using for three tours to different parts of the island. This year was about family as although Cobblers Cove is mainly adults only, they honoured our booking for our son, wife and their 5 month old daughter. All of the staff were so welcoming and kind. We had a wonderful time once again and spent more time on site, enjoying the peace, the beach and pool and sounds of the ocean. The food at Cobblers is excellent with a different menu each day and barbecues on Tuesdays and Sundays. So good! The staff members in the restaurant are so friendly, efficient and certainly well trained. The bar staff are also great and make a mean rum sour. I can highly recommend the spa where I had a wonderful massage and facial. Do book early though as Carla gets booked up. Our son and his wife used the gym most days and said it was well equipped and air conditioned. I cannot recommend Cobblers Cove highly enough. We can’t wait to return next year.

This magical hotel in its beautiful setting has been ruined by its restaurant staff who are indifferent, discourteous and arrogant. I have been visiting for 25 years and can’t believe the management have allowed such a disappointing and devastating deterioration. My recent experience has sullied many happy memories of my times there, my affection for the place makes me hope they can recover from this shambolic showing but it will require a great deal of work to return to the once so high standards

Lovely relaxing hotel, human scale about 50 rooms set in beautiful gardens with long coast and beach front. We had a really great room, good food different menu each night. Do try the bar, along with regular live music has a team of great mixologists, Virgil is an old school barman, mixes a cool cocktail and can taylor one to your taste, great character and conversation if your in the mood. All the staff went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Would recommend it.

When you read reviews you sometimes wonder if people have visited the same hotel. Reviews can be fantastic and the next one highly critical. We stayed for 10 nights having previously stayed down the coast last year. Cobblers Cove is an exceptional experience. I will walk you through the stay. Check in. Arrived early evening, greeted with a rum punch. Very friendly reception staff who walked us through the property. We were then taken to our room and found cases already in there. We had an upper circle suite. Small kitchen area with kettle, fridge and tea/coffee. Separate area with sofa leading outside to garden with sun lounges. Bedroom, large bed leading to a dressing area and bathroom. Plenty of storage space. Shower powerful and always hot water. No bath but not a problem for us. Dining area very clean and open with sea breaking. Breakfast cooked to order and good choices. Cold selection is sufficient although not extensive. Pool area always tidy and well attended by staff. Plenty of sun lounges. Here’s the thing… controversial. Given the majority of guests are English and the age tends to be middle to older there was still a tendency for guests to get down and reserve beds. Guess who would be the first to complain.. the English. The staff tried hard to stop this and indeed left notes on the beds stating that after an hour of no show towels would be removed. Good! Barbecue night was really good. Cocktails very good. A nice touch was the afternoon tea served at 4pm. Set you up nicely until you had your evening meal. Staff always attentive. Reception staff always willing to help with restaurant reservations and excursions. The grounds are very well maintained and we managed to see the monkeys. There is no beach behind the hotel so no beds on beach. There is beach either side and you can walk a bit either way. We would highly recommended this hotel.

Hotel itself gorgeous . Clean (ish) very pretty grounds , pool area nice , no beach to sit on only walk Staff were rude, seemed bored and uninterested, also unhelpful like they were doing us a huge favour , food a lot to be desired . Stayed 3 nights couldn’t wait to move to our next location . Won’t be returning . Hugely disappointing
