The Cove Eleuthera Review

Although it isn't as plush or well accessorized as either Pineapple Fields or Powell Pointe, this is among Eleuthera's most upscale and luxurious resorts. Positioned on rocky terrain above a pink-sand cove 2.5km (1 1/2 miles) northwest of Gregory Town and 5km (3 miles) southeast of the Glass Window, this year-round resort is set on 11 hectares (27 acres) partially planted with pineapples; it consists of a main clubhouse and several simple, cement-sided bungalows, each containing four units nestled on the ocean side. They all have a spacious living area, tile floors, a relatively plush bathroom, a porch, and no TV or phone to distract you -- except in the Point House suite, which does have a 36-inch TV to go along with its two bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and private deck.

The restaurant carries hints of island posh, with an amiable bar area and a commitment to serving three meals per day. The lounge and poolside patio are open daily for drinks and informal meals. Kayaks, bicycles, two tennis courts, and a small freshwater pool compete with hammocks for your time. There's fabulous snorkeling right off the sands here, with colorful fish darting in and out of the offshore reefs. Some guests here hail from Europe, including a surprising number of French honeymooners celebrating the debut of their second marriages.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; exercise room; outdoor pool; 2 tennis courts; watersports equipment/rentals; Wi-Fi (free)

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
