Cobblers Cove - Barbados

The EXCELLENT, which outweighed the not so great. The welcome tour and welcome drink. Beautiful white sandy beach and calm swimming area. No sargassum seaweed. The swim with the turtles. The lounge area by pool and beach. Great view of the sea and no issue getting lounge chairs. Fresh milk in the fridge for coffee. Our lobster and lamb chops entrees and the smoked fish at breakfast, were some of the best we ever had! The treats of sorbet and fruit, while sitting at the pool and the 4pm Tea time. The lovely matching Cobblers Cove china and Cobblers Cove menus, notes, etc. The NOT SO GREAT: Communication responsiveness and helpfulness of staff when we were booking and before arrival could have been better. Our initial room was unbearable with regards to the noise level coming from the reception area and street traffic. Luckily they were able to move us to another room that was deeper into the property, which made a big positive difference, where we could thoroughly relax and enjoy listening to the frogs and birds. The bed was supposedly a king, but too short for us. We had trouble adjusting the temperature in the room (complicated AC remotes; maybe an instruction guide would be useful). The food was pricey. Service at the restaurant was spotty. On our second day, my husband was done eating breakfast before I got my omelet. Smoking is allowed on the property, so at times we had to contend with it while we were lounging by the pool and beach areas.

Loved everything about this property! Beautiful, every detail the rooms fresh and remodeled. Food exceptional, grounds gorgeous, water calm great for snorkeling! Swam with turtles! Saw monkeys! Definitely will return!

Amazing atmosphere and aesthetics at the hotel, great food and drinks and service, and a lot of activities as well. Great if you are looking for a relaxing experience

Beautiful surroundings, peaceful

Amazing small hotel exceeded our high expectations we celebrated my daughters graduation after A levels it was a perfect place to chill very friendly beautiful property very exclusive felt right at home

To give a realistic review, I thought cobblers Cove overall was a nice place to stay. I think you have to rate these places relative to the area it is in. I was looking for a five star resort, and I came across cobblers Cove. The grounds around the resort were exceptional. They really did a fabulous job of keeping the grounds in exceptional shape, as well as trying to provide an overall aesthetic. As for the resort, I don’t think I would classify it as a resort. It had more of a hotel vibe but again I think that is more of what is provided in the area. I would not say it is a five star resort I would give it more of a three or four star hotel vibe. The beach Was gorgeous and it is pretty much a private beach even though there is no such thing as a private beach. The locals are very friendly. We rented a car and would dine out at local restaurants as well as the hotel restaurant. The food is good but a little expensive.

We rented a car and would dine out at local restaurants as well as the hotel restaurant. The food is good but a little expensive. the rooms are kind of small and the bed and pillows are not good at all. Even though you’re on vacation, I always like to have a TV as background noise and there is no TV in the room at all. All of the windows are just wooden slats, the only real windows are the bedroom, which is small.

Cobblers cove is a little slice of paradise, we stayed for 10 nights, our room was fantastic in every way, the staff were all amazing.. we will be revisiting in the future for sure.

Cobblers Cove is a beautiful setting and pretty. Lovely colonial feel to the decor but lots of shortfalls! Inconsistent service across all areas in the restaurant and bar. Only a few staff who actually wanted to serve you the rest could be described as indifferent at best! We ate dinner once and the service was so slow and the environment was too dark and it was pricey. We ate out after that first evening experience. Shocked at the general upkeep and cleanliness of the pool very disappointing. Green slime around the inside on the tiles of the pool and handrail and a mouldy looking hotel canvas lilo that was left floating around! There was insufficient air conditioning in the room and worn furniture. The restaurant had chipped cups for breakfast, lanterns next to the dining tables that were dirty and covered in birds poo - you get the picture! The complimentary afternoon tea was soggy sandwiches and some tasteless cake. Has the ownership or management changed recently? Our experience was not expected. There was no management present at any time and we spent all 4 days in the hotel. There didn’t seem to be any one in charge which maybe accounted for the service shortfalls. Is this hotel still living on a previous reputation? The complimentary boat rides and the boatman was charming and pointed out all the places of interest. The housekeeping in our room was good. Sorry Cobblers but much improvements needed!

It is hard to put in to words how unique and special this property is, truly! From the second you walk in the door you are treated so kindly. There is a level of personalization, hospitality and thoughtfulness that I have never experienced, and it was such a highlight during my first trip to Barbados! Everything from the friendly and fun staff, to the comfortable rooms and interior decor, it is a true gem. It is the type of place that I would wish to visit for many years to come as a tradition with family and friends. Thank you very much for a wonderful long weekend!

Great property. Beautiful and very relaxing.

The staff were amazing. Amenities were great really enjoyed the little details like the sorbet they walked around with and the fruit skewers.

Cobbler Cove is a beautiful well maintained boutique hotel property. Excellent facilities. The rooms are spacious and very clean.

Staff were respectful & conscientious. Pool was not kept clean throughout day. It was obvious that they focussed too much on minimising cost to detriment of their clientele. Simple things like orange juice at b/fast were rationed! Ridicolous for such an expensive hotel.

I loved the decor!! It was very charming and unique! Our main complaint was that the food was not very enjoyable. It was not very tasty and was really overpriced. But the beauty of the resort, the pool with the pink and white striped awnings, and the charming rooms made it all worthwhile.

Amazing grounds and service.

What a wonderful, idyllic spot for a relaxing vacation. From the service, to the cuisine, to the beautiful beach/ocean, I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful property. I was fortunate enough to stay in the Alleyne room and the location overlooking the ocean was ideal. I cannot wait to return soon!

This was our 1st time at Cobblers Cove and everything about our experience was exceptional from the time we arrived until we left. The entire place was clean and tidy. The staff takes a lot of pride in the hotel. The beach was great and we were able to collect a lot of sea glass. We had an ocean front room and we loved having a cup of coffee on the deck each morning. The breakfast was amazing as well as our beautifully presented meals. Complimentary afternoon tea very popular and a complimentary speedboat ride daily. The location is absolutely stunning and fabulous, and only a short walk into Speightstown. The best part of Cobblers though is the people. We had a wonderful stay at Cobblers Cove and we'd definitely recommend.

The staff at Cobblers are amazing and the hotel is beautiful

The people make this resort and it’s totally charming. We will be back!

11 nights of quiet understated luxury. A real gem. Peaceful, relaxing and yet a real humour and warmth from all the staff. Privately owned by owners who obviously care about detail and your comfort. Thank you to all who made our stay perfect
