Cobblers Cove Barbados

Barbados, Caribbean

Virgin rating

The hotel

An aura of understated class pervades this charming hotel hideaway, with many of its guests returning every year for an authentic Barbados experience. The attractive, colonial-style building with its iconic, coral-coloured Great House, vibrant tropical gardens and lovely rattan furnishings, overlooks a white-sand beach on Barbados's west coast. Pleasantly secluded, you are still only a short drive from some lovely restaurants and bars — that's if you can drag yourself away from the gourmet wonders of award-winning Camelot Restaurant which offers mouth-watering cuisine, weekly barbeques and a special seafood menu including a selection of freshly-caught local fish. There's a generous array of sports, which include tennis and complimentary daily lessons in water-skiing, sailing and windsurfing for each guest. The spacious suites are beautifully furnished and are packed with amenities. Each has its own balcony or terrace, dressing area and large bathroom filled with REN soaps and toiletries.

The hotel overcharged me by $500. They had the opportunity to correct the error and chose to not help me. I was surprised to see infants and toddlers staying here, when the hotel claims to be adults only. Their prices are high, but did not meet my expectations.

We returned to Cobblers Cove after an excellent stay last year, and this time our expectations were exceeded. We were at the hotel when Hurricane Beryl narrowly missed Barbados, but there were full-scale preparations in place. The staff were amazing - they battened down the hatches, cleared everything away and many stayed at the hotel to ensure the guests were looked after. This included Joanna, the General Manager, who postponed her own vacation to stay on duty. Provisions were provided in the room, and the on site generator ensured no power outages. Next day, the team swam full scale into action, getting it all shipshape as if nothing had happened. They were, without exception, magnificent. Throughout our stay, we were well looked after by Gregory, Dee, Virgil and the rest, too numerous to mention. Thanks to all the team for looking after us during what was a difficult time for all Baijans. Read less

This was our third time at cobblers cove everything about our experience was exceptional from the time we arrived until we left. The beach was perfect for swimming with some nice snorkeling. It is not crowded we could walk on the beach to speightstown where there is a grocery store and some nice casual restaurants. The grounds at cobblers are enchanting we spent early AM enjoying a wonderful breakfast the restaurant is ocean front with a spectacular view. We enjoyed the restauant the food this time was the best from our previous visit it was always good but now is top notch. We ate there more than we had originally plan planned as each evening the menu changed. The daily boat ride was great with Bradley , Roger or Ricardo we were able to stop and snorkel. The best part of cobblers though is the people. Too many to name. Thank you for such a great time. We will be returning Read less

Just finishing 10 days in this wonderful hotel. I'm travelling with my husband and twin 17 year old boys. The place is a haven of tranquility with excellent attention to detail. Our 2 bedroom suite was immaculately clean with a wonderful colonial, other worldly appeal. This is not the place to come if you want loud music and round the clock entertainment, but if you want wonderful surroundings, a beautiful beach side location, amazing and attentive staff this is the place to come. Special shout out to the attentive and Professional bar staff, and especially Virgil who we had many the interesting chat over our night caps! Being totally honest, the breakfast was very tasty and varied, but we ate at other restaurants in the area for dinner. But we were always happy to return to our beautiful hotel. Our twin 17 Yr old boys took full advantage of the varied water sports: snorkeling, water skiing , tennis and the gym. All in all we had a wonderful relaxing holiday and can't wait to return.
