Blue Cove is a nice quiet place to enjoy getting away from it all. We stayed here for 4 or 5 nights on the cottage at the end slightly over the water at high tide. The beach has nice sand and they have a protected area for seaweed farming which makes the coral and fish to see when snorkelling fantastic.... More

Bluecove is a wonderful place with caveats. I think the easiest way to express this is simply to list the pro's and con's. Pros: 1. Only 5 cabins so very private and peaceful. 2. Pristine beach and crystal clear blue water. 3. Good food and the french toast at breakfast was amazing. 4. Snorkeling is the best out of all... More

When bad weather forced the cancellation of our scheduled island hopping bbq lunch our boatman took my family here. WHAT A GOOD DECISION. I loved the place. Beautiful beach, romantic cottages, and a TOP CLASS restaurant with extremely reasonable prices. For anyone wanting a 'get away from it all' break, look no further.

Blue Cove Tropical Island Resort (www.bluecoveresort.com) is a unique and rustic getaway that provides an incredible experience for the right sort of person/couple. As many of the other reviews have indicated, this is not the place to come if you are looking for five star service. In fact, there is not much “service” at all – the staff are rarely... More

We stayed at Blue Cove for 3 nights in the ocean front cottage. The location was excellent with our stand alone cottage placed on stilts over the sea. There is a reasonably priced bar and restaurant serving food and drinks all day. The food was excellent and the staff were friendly. There is only electricity for a few hours over... More

I normally don't bother writing reviews, but since I went to the Blue Cove after reading a lot of positive ones, I feel like I must do so to clarify some things. First of all, the island is beautiful (the resort is on an island 30 minutes from Port Barton). Having said that, I would not recommend anyone to go... More

This review comes with some weight. I have just spent 4 MONTHS based at Bluecove from Sept 2011 - Jan 2012. I am 44 years old, have travelled extensively and regularly in Asia for more than 20 years. I have family and friends with interests in a number of island resorts as well as interests of my own. THE BASICS... More

Astonishingly beautiful at its best,its quite simple cottages don't expect for a 4 star, there are times that the water is super super clear, but also there are times the water is choppy, due to the typical Northeastern weather during the time of Jan to April.this affects to all the rest of the resort in port barton as well as...

A lively reef with the clearest water and an estimated thirty thousands fishes in single shoal and some bigger fish feeding on them, all in snorkelling range. An abundance of turtles without a single jellyfish to be seen. A variety of stunning accommodations that can sustain 10-15 guests. An exquisite "special fish fillet" like nothing we have ever tasted. Fantastic... More
