We booked this as we had stayed with Almond before in Barbados and that being a good holiday decided to book with them again. Our first week was great upgraded to a beach front room, ate in all the restaurants. The normal staff we found nice and very helpful but the managers in the Cove and Enids were terrible.Towards the... more

To keep it short: Only thing that I could have asked for more was food. It was decent enough, but nothing special. Otherwise, nobody in our party complaint about anything, so everything was working well. After reading these reviews I have to conclude that different people experience things differently. I met a british couple in Smugglers who were whining and... more

This hotel happened to be my 5th all-inclusive I happened to book in Caribbean and by far the worst. If previous places I've been to recieved only positive comments from me, this highly overpriced armpit appeared to be the waste for every penny. From here I'll break it down a bit. 1.Beach. Majority of travellers to Caribbean go for the... more

The grounds were really lovely with flowering shrubs everywhere and things were fairly well maintained. The sweeping views from the adult swim up bar were nice with an infinity edge. Our room was in a convenient location (we asked in advance die to some elderly relatives traveling with us). There were some rooms that would be quite a hike to... more

I must admit we were a bit apprehensive about staying at the Smugglers Cove given some of the reviews on this site. I suspect some of the reviews predate management change and upgrades. From the no hassel check in, to the friendly /helpful and pleasant staff, the beautiful pools and grounds all set on an almost private bay/beach, free water... more

Hi there. We really enjoyed smugglers cove. It is a typical all inclusive 3-4 star resort. Some of the food and service is slightly inconsistant (some great, some not so good). However what more could you ask for, 5 swimming pools, 3-4 restaraunts, nice basic rooms with TV and air con. Sports facilities (tennis courtsm gym), water sports (water skiing,... more

Hotel very nice on arrival. Pool areas and beach view etc - lovely. We had a standard room which had been upgraded as it wasn't the busy season. To be honest if we were in an upgraded room I dread to think what a basic room was like. Some of the rooms are still in the process of being upgraded.... more

Having just returned from Almond Smugglers Cove, I like many other of the contributors to this web site was slightly concerned with some of the reviews. I needn't have worried. The plus points far outway any negatives that there may be. I find it incredible that some people moan about leaves in the pool, when the pools are surrounded by... more

This complex was a nightmare from start to finish! The food was awful, the service was worse and the staff (with the odd exception) were rude. This is not to mention trying to obtain a clean beach towel which became a main mission of our holiday. I am so fed up with this place that I don't want to even... more
