The Cove Eleuthera

Absolutely love The Cove! If you want a central location on Eleuthera, private beach, amazing snorkeling (saw sea turtles, barracuda, nurse shark, needlefish, lionfish, starfish, and more), super friendly staff, great creative drinks, and excellent food... then The Cove is your place. Perfect for couples or a group of your best friends. Would absolutely return.

I never wanted to leave! The entire property was outstanding but we were really blown away by all of the staff. Donald our driver was so welcoming and provided a lot of local details and recommendations. Tina our server was the absolute sweetest and took amazing care of us. Shungrea, Cannon and Tori were the best. We honestly felt like family and will definitely be back.

My husband and I just returned from our stay at The Cove. Relaxing would be an understatement. This location and facility is just wonderful. Two private beaches with crystal clear water, an infinity edge saltwater pool, very friendly staff -- all highlights of our trip. The island itself is very underdeveloped for the most part. The Cove is an oasis like no other. We were told it was 70% occupied, but we felt like we were one of the only people there. I would give it 5 stars, but there were a few things that I felt like could be improved upon: -No mini fridge in the room--could have really used this. -They asked us twice if we were celebrating anything, so we mentioned our anniversary. But there was zero acknowledgement of that. I would have appreciated a complimentary glass of champagne or dessert. Why ask if you won't do anything? -They need better service at the beach. Three men sat in the activities hut all day long. Asked me if I needed water once that morning, then never checked on me again. I literally saw them sitting on their phones and chatting all day while I had to get up and ask each time I needed something. -The food was good, but not great. Outrageously expensive drinks. (My husband mentioned to a local resident that we were staying at The Cove and he replied "Oh, the really expensive place with the mediocre food and expensive drinks?" kinda...) Be aware there is major construction happening on the bluff adjacent to the property. It was loud. I know they cannot help that, but it appeared to be in the very first stages, so it may be going on for quite awhile. Just disturbed the quiet is all.

We just got back from 12 idyllic days at The Cove in Eleuthera. From the moment we arrived, the beauty of the resort’s grounds were serene and captivating. Lush, tropical landscaping, two private cove beaches, made it feel like we were in a private oasis that was breathtaking and calming, making it the perfect place to unwind. We stayed in one of the ocean front rooms which I highly recommend. Our large, beautifully designed room was spacious and featured a private deck just steps from the beach. Waking up to the beautiful view of the water and being able to walk directly onto the beach with beach chairs and bottled water waiting for us was delightful. The expansive bathroom is well designed and spa-like. The outdoor shower attached to the bathroom was an added treat. We loved the outdoor amenities offered by the Cove. We paddle boarded daily in the crystal clear turquoise blue water exploring the beautiful coves and admiring the soulful sea turtles who live on the tip of the peninsula between the two cove beaches. The clear bottom kayaks offered us a view of the beautiful sea life all around. The resort provided daily guided snorkels, so we could see the beautiful sea turtles and underwater creatures up close. We walked the resort's beautiful and well designed nature trail and learned about the plants of the island. A conch salad demonstration was offered during our stay where we learned and sampled the Bahamian cuisine. It was fantastic! The Cove offers daily restorative yoga classes, which was a wonderful way to start the day. Daily happy hour is not to be missed, held at the outdoor bar with live music and the sunsetting behind you, providing the perfect atmosphere to relax and unwind. We also enjoyed our cocktails and watching the sunset from the spectacular lookout at the tip of the property between the two coves. A bench sits at the tip of the lookout providing us with a private front row seat to the setting sun, magical. We ate on property almost every day. The food was delicious and creative, including fresh sushi that is both beautiful and flavorful. For us what really set The Cove apart is their staff. Every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure we had a truly memorable stay. The staff are incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely care about making our experience perfect. Their attention to detail and personal touch made the Cove an unforgettable destination which we plan to return to again.

The place is beautiful. The staff are excellent and knowledgeable. Donald is THE MAN. Awesome lad. It would be five stars, but there was one incident that the staff know about from my post-stay survey that brought it down. After this incident, it’s honestly lucky to get 3 stars. A real shame, considering everything else about the stay!

Amazing resort and accommodation set in lovely grounds. The staff were friendly and efficient and we had a very enjoyable and relaxing time. The one thing we've fed back to The Cove relates to the price of food. The food is excellent, but we felt that breakfast, in particular, was expensive. Apart from this, we feel that The Cove is a truly special location.
