Honu Cove (Age 16+)

From the moment we arrived, this boutique hotel exceeded every expectation. The property itself was elegant, cozy, and full of thoughtful details that made it feel both luxurious and welcoming. Every space was spotless, comfortable, and had so much character. What truly made our stay unforgettable, though, were the hosts. They were incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making every guest feel special. From personalized recommendations to the little touches throughout our stay, their hospitality was absolutely exceptional. You can tell they truly care about creating an amazing experience. The atmosphere was peaceful, charming, and relaxing — the perfect getaway. We left feeling refreshed and already talking about when we can return. If you’re looking for a boutique hotel with heart, style, and outstanding hospitality, this is the place. Highly recommend!

Great stay. Rooms are wonderful, as is location and hosts. Everything you need is here. Just go and enjoy. Will return again and again

My experience at Honu Cove: I paid in advance for 24 days, from April 26th to May 20th. I only stayed 10 days, leaving on May 6th — not by choice, but because I was abruptly and unfairly evicted. At around 4pm on the 10th day, I received a message from the manager, Sam, telling me I had two hours to vacate the room. The reason? They accused me of burning a desk with an incense stick — something I had used in the first few days, but stopped immediately after they asked me not to. The photo they sent showed a burn mark: a large 1.5-inch circle — completely inconsistent with the 0.09-inch tip of an incense stick. Moreover, the mark was clearly an old stain, not fresh, and certainly not something caused by me. They have no proof I did it. It’s my word against the “maid boy,” Drew. They also claimed there was an incense smell in the room. That day, however, I had spent most of my time outside. And anyone who actually uses incense knows: its scent often permeates closed packaging, especially in tight spaces. I had stored sealed incense sticks in the nightstand drawer the day before, but not on the day in question, as I had already begun transferring some of my belongings to the apartment I was about to rent. For context, I am a 61-year-old woman, a single mother, a therapist for 35 years, and author of several books. I’ve dedicated my life to helping people heal. I do not go around burning furniture. I also paid $125 extra per week to have my dogs with me. In return, Drew was supposed to do weekly deep cleaning — which never happened. On day 8, I had to ask if he could at least change the sheets. The bathroom was never cleaned (the sink had yellow stains in the corners), and the kitchen was also left untouched. They refuse to refund me for the remaining 14 days. Their excuse? “We don’t do refunds.” Thank God I had just signed a lease that very day and could move in immediately — though the place was empty. I slept on a comforter on the floor for two nights until my furniture arrived. Apparently, only legal action will make justice and basic common sense prevail.

Sam and Drew hosted a terrific stay for us and our friends as we gathered for a special birthday bash for a dear friend. The rooms were clean, well outfitted, and very comfortable. Two blocks from beach access and a short walk to several restaurants and night life. The configuration of the hotel rooms offered a great gathering place poolside for twenty of us staying on site, and a larger group gathered for a fantastic outdoor meal prepared by our host. Staying as a couple or planning a group event - Honu Cove is a great choice. The grounds are lovely.

Sam and Drew run a tight ship. We loved the warm welcome, the soft colors and found the room well equipped and comfortable. Honu Cove is also close to the center of Deerfield Beach so it was an easy walk in the morning up to the coffee place or to grab a bite to eat, without the hassle of using our car. I highly recommend staying at Honu Cove.

We were part of a large group that rented the Honu Cove for a long weekend celebrating a friend’s birthday. The Honu Cove is a cute “old school” motel that sports an off-street courtyard/garden complete with a pool. Sam and Drew were very attentive to our needs and happy to do anything for a relaxing stay. It’s quiet, clean and close to the beach, restaurants and shopping.

So we haven’t even arrived yet and the front desk was so helpful and professional when extending my reservation. Sam was wonderful helping us and we look forward to meeting him to extend our thanks . This place was highly recommended to us by a relative and they continued to say Sam was marvelous…I’m staying there for Father’s Day with my adult son and we are very excited… Paul J from NY .

Adorable, small hotel right by the beach with all rooms surrounding a beautiful pool area. They area around the pool is planted with lots of tropical plants and flowers. Have bird feeders so saw quite a few birds. Very calm and relaxing place to stay. When I took a swim in the pool at night it was just soooo beautiful. All those plants around you, palm trees swaying in the breeze. The room was super clean and nicely decorated. Loved that they provide a beach towel as well as bath towels. A full dresser so you can unpack your suitcase. Nice big TV with remote above the dresser. Bathroom and shower were very nice. The bed was super comfortable. I was in town for my father's memorial so it was a very emotional time for me. It wasn't just losing him but also returning to the area where I grew up that I hadn't visited in over 20 years so that made me emotional as well. The area has changed SO much! Whenever I encountered the owners, they were so kind and friendly. They even invited me to dine with them by the pool as they were grilling chicken. Had I not just eaten, I would have. Can't recommend this place enough. It's calm and cozy. The owners and SO nice and SO eager to make sure their guests have everything they need. Thank you for making this VERY hard trip a bit better with your kindness and a beautiful place to stay while I was in town.

Fabulous stay at this cute Retro Style hotel. Sam and Drew are lovely and can't do enough for their guests. Bed was lovely and comfortable with a beautiful duvet and pillows. Lovely soap and cremes. Shower fabulous and very quiet stay so could sleep well. Pool was lovely too. Microwave fridge etc in the kitchen.
