Cobblers Cove

Another return visit and just as good as we remembered. From the moment we arrived to the time we had to leave, we felt so welcome by the kindness of all of the staff. It feels like visiting friends. As usual the suite was incredible, clean and comfortable. It was so good that we barely left the hotel apart from to walk on the beach or take one of the complimentary boat trips. The food is still the best we have tried in the Caribbean, we went full board and they would quite happily feed you all day if you could manage it! We saw monkeys, turtles, hummingbirds and the gardens are beautiful and extremely well taken care of. The biggest asset of the hotel are the wonderful staff. I can’t remember all of their names, far too many for my memory, but a special mention to some that really stand out. Gregory runs around making sure that everyone is wanting for nothing all day. He must be the fittest man on the island! It was lovely to chat to Johanna the general manager. She made sure we were taken care of. Demanta is a superstar. She is the restaurant manager and although she is there seemingly all of the time, every morning she would look glamorous and give you a lovely welcome. Pearson at the bar is a lovely guy, very polite and attentive. And then there is Virgil! Worth the visit just to see him! He is funny, entertaining, he is SO on the ball, figuring out what everyone likes and wants. And he never stops cleaning the bar. Just watch him. He’ll be busy making cocktails, and the whole time he is wiping down, keeping the bar clean. My wife and I decided that it should be called Virgil’s’ bar, but I’m not sure they will change it! Overall, another fantastic stay. We look forward to our next visit. See you soon.

Went there today for a potential stay next year. However the young manager totally refused to let us look around saying we couldn’t due to safety & security of the guests. My husband walked off in absolute disgust. We have been coming to Barbados for over 40 years and stayed in many different places on the island but never in Speightstown.I have to say we have never been spoke to with rudeness & arrogance in all the years we have been coming here. We have some friends staying with you next year and I just hope you treat them with more respect than you have done with us today. Needless to say we will definitely not be booking here to stay !!!.

I don’t think that I can put in to words how much we love this place. We arrived for one night prior to embarking on a cruise. Kimberly greeted us upon our arrival with our favourite cocktails (my spicy margarita was ). Nothing was too much trouble for her and we settled right in. We stayed in Camelot (one of the more expensive rooms) and it was just perfect. There was no tv in the room but there was absolutely no requirement for one when you had such a beautiful view. The bed was super comfortable and the room was spacious. The private upstairs terrace was the perfect place to watch the sunset. We decided to remain at the hotel for the evening for dinner, which was great. The service was brilliant! The following day we decided to book an additional day at Cobblers at the end of our cruise as we had enjoyed it so much and again we had a brilliant time. Every member of staff that we met were absolutely fantastic but a special shout out to Kimberly for being a wonderful welcome during check in and also to Damien who made us feel super welcome, We will be back……obviously wearing pink ;)

Cobblers cove is a dream! It's nestled on a gorgeous stretch of beach. The beautiful garden, friendly service, stunning beach, watersports and delicious food make it such a great getaway for those that like charming places full of character. I adore the styling - the pink speed boat, the illustrated drink menu, the custom china and the art in the rooms. Even the backgammon table in the peaceful quiet area matches the aesthetic. Snorkeling with a turtle and riding the speed boat was a great perk. My friend and I enjoyed the peace and luxury, and felt right at home.

Both of our rooms were unfortunately smelling of mold as soon as we started the air conditioning. It never disappeared even when we changed the rooms. The hotel has too many restrictions for us. We had a meeting with our attorney as we were planning to make an investment on the island, and as he had to bring along his son of 3 years, we were not allowed to stay inside the hotel. The meeting then had to take place in the parking lot outside the hotel... We were quite shocked by this unnecessary rule, especially taken into consideration that some of the male guests were allowed to enter the restaurant for dinner wearing sleveless shirts. The standard is by no means on par with the island´s other luxury hotels.

Our stay at Cobblers Cove was outstanding in all respects. Situated on a beautiful beach with few outside visitors ( all Barbados beaches are public) the views are beautiful. Loungers are set on the terraces for comfort, views, and convenience- wait staff is around frequently to take your order from the bar or to offer water and fruit, towels, etc. Our suite was perfectly clean, nicely decorated, and very comfortable. Bathrooms have modern fixtures and the water pressure is great. French Press with ground coffee is stocked in the kitchenette , along with an electric kettle and a variety of tea. The restaurant was fabulous. It's " open air" with views of the sea from every table. Most important the menu was varied and the quality of the preparation was excellent. We never had a bad meal. The staff was professional and personable. They were very amenable to providing whatever we needed and were a pleasure to interact with. They really made our stay very enjoyable. There was only 1 negative and it was minor- there are lots of birds hanging around the restaurant( but not in it). Tiny squirt water guns are on the tables at breakfast and lunch! A cute idea and they were effective. We will definitely return. Thanks to everyone for your attention to detail!
