I had an amazing seven-night stay at the Cove Resort! The experience was overall fantastic, with superb service and beautifully maintained rooms, though some dining options left much to be desired. The staff went above and beyond to make our time enjoyable, which was a big plus, but I did encounter occasional issues with breakfast quality and room amenities that could use improvement.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying the clean and comfortable rooms alongside the nice amenities like the beautiful pool. The staff was really friendly and accommodating, adding to the overall positive experience. However, the lack of an elevator made moving luggage a bit cumbersome, and the service in the restaurant could use some improvement as it was notably slow at times.

I had a really pleasant stay at this resort. The location was fantastic, just a minute's walk from the liveaboard boats, which was super convenient. The rooms were spacious and clean, and I slept like a baby in the comfortable beds. However, I found a few minor flaws, particularly with the breakfast quality and room amenities.
