We spent a magical week in October at Cobblers Cove and absolutely adored every wonderful moment. The hotel is a beautiful peaceful sanctuary, with first class attention to detail throughout and a fabulous team of staff who looked after us incredibly well. Breakfast, lunch and supper were delicious and between us all we sampled many fantastic cocktails! There were numerous excellent activities to keep my four children (17, 15, 13, 10 years) occupied, from daily tennis lessons with an exceptional coach, daily waterskiing, snorkelling, scuba diving, swimming in the extraordinarily beautiful sea and generally hanging out in the hotel and enjoying all the comforts it offers. We had been hugely looking forward to this holiday for a very long time and it completely exceeded our hopes and was without question a holiday of a lifetime. Thank you to everyone at Cobblers for such a wonderful time, it couldn’t have been more fabulous. …

There’s only one Cobbler’s Cove! We absolutely loved our time there and it was great for the adults and the teenagers alike. Delicious food, stunning beach and sunsets and the most beautiful place to be. They also have the best tennis coach I’ve ever had and wonderful staff. It is intimate, charming and the cocktails are the best! It’s probably not for people who want a massive impersonal hotel, but for the discerning traveler, I couldn’t recommend it more highly. Loved the very second!

Cobblers has the nicest staff, the best beach and the most fantastic views and food. What more can you ask for? Well for one there is so much to do! Tennis, gym and Bradley with his water sports. We had two lovely sails on the Hobycat during our stay. Fabulous! Came home refreshed and ready for a UK winter. Geoff and Zoe Sayers and family.

Review of Cobblers Cove, Barbados, based on a one week stay in November 2023. The property is pleasantly located on a beach near Speightstown in Barbados and is seriously expensive at over £600 for one day of bed and breakfast with the need to budget at least another £150 for lunch and dinner and drinks each day. With that in mind, one might reasonably expect somewhere quite good. On our 1st morning we sat for breakfast at 0730, the first in the restaurant, and ordered toast and coffee. Half an hour later and with about a dozen other couples all now seated and served, I had to go to the restaurant front desk and ask where our coffee was. Much flapping and blaming of the i-pads they were using to take orders and they “re-ordered” it. Then came the time to order a hot breakfast and I ordered huevos habaneros – the image below shows what arrived 10 minutes later. Basically boiled potatoes and tomatoes with a deformed egg on top. Crucially no habanero peppers at all. I asked the waiter if I had the correct dish as it had no habaneros in it and he apologised and said I could order something else. I played safe and ordered the “full English”. This was a dried out sausage and bacon with a poached egg and one tomato. No beans, no mushrooms, no potato of any sort, no ketchup - anyway, I cut into the tomato and it was rotten (see next image). It was our first morning and we didn’t want to complain so we went and sat by the pool and hoped for better. Day two and we again got forgotten at breakfast. Again we decided not to complain and retired to the pool. There are too few loungers around the pool for guests and if the hotel is fully booked one is banished to the edges of a patio away from the pool. We discovered that folk were getting up before 0630 to reserve the loungers round the pool!! Anyway, lunch on day two and I ordered an “Curried egg plant roti” It is illustrated below and was inedible with mushy aubergine and potato that must have been reheated half a dozen times and the aubergine had turned to a pulp. I showed it to the waiter and he struck from our bill and I went hungry! At this stage I decided I should contact the manager (there seem to be several layers of manager in the hotel which is owned by a couple of London based entrepreneurs). Eventually a senior manager called Joanna listened to my account and looked at the images attached here and offered my wife and I complimentary dinner which we did accept. Fort 48 hours over the weekend we seemed to be “on the radar of the staff” and received exemplary service. By the Monday however things reverted to type. I had grit in my omelette at breakfast and just left it. Service was erratic and then the funniest event of all:- There were two loungers in the pool which my wife had enjoyed using every day. We arrived at the pool to find them both missing on the 6th day of our stay. At 0830 we asked the head waiter where they were and he said he’d find them. By 1030 he hadn‘t reappeared so I sought him out and he said he had no idea where they had gone. We went to the gym and on returning to the main hotel, asked a manager in a dark blue blouse, on the front desk about the loungers. She said she’d look into it and came to find us by the pool at 1300 to say they were coming back having been cleaned. By 1500 nothing happened so I gave in and asked to see the duty manager who was a young lad about 25 years old who explained the loungers had been removed because there had been complaints that two small children were making a noise using them and monopolising them!! I asked exactly how removing them helped the problem of two children monopolising them because now nobody could use them?? He did a good imitation of a fish swallowing air!! In summary this is an extremely expensive hotel costing a minimum of £600 per night for B&B. The food is very poor, the management is chaotic and we will never return and feel quite seriously ripped off. …

I revisited Cobblers Cove with my family this October, and once again, the hotel's exquisite comfort and atmosphere left a lasting impression. The room decor, uniquely personal and devoid of a corporate hotel feel, positions it as the Grande Dame of the Independent Boutique Hotels. The charming touch of pretty pink parasols and abundant sun loungers, with the deepest mattresses one could dream of, adds to its allure. Culinary delights awaited us, with renewed menus incorporating delicious tropical flavours, a host of local organic ingredients, and much of it homemade at Cobblers - including breads, pastries, ice creams and the most fabulous chocolate truffles . Breakfast was a standout: I challenge anyone not to find what they would want! The array of options, including avocado toast, eggs benedict, crepes and pancakes, homemade granola, banana, date and nut smoothies, coconut milk yogurts and a selection of fresh local tropical fruits, made it a delightful start to the day. The impeccable service extended from housekeeping, waiters to the barmen and pool staff, who delighted us with skewers of fresh fruit and refreshing towels. The receptionists found us a lovely well-qualified gym trainer as well as a proficient tennis coach. We spent lovely moments at the bar with various bands and singers playing, all adding to the Barbadian spirit. We took advantage of the free daily water-skiing that Cobblers offers, and we couldn't have been more pleased with the the excellent teacher, Bradley: our son, in particular, not only had a fantastic time, he mastered mono-skiing after just two attempts. This has not happened elsewhere! As night fell, we were enchanted by the chorus of the Barbadian Whistling Frogs.... a wonderful holiday! …

It was a big birthday this year, and when my wife asked me how I wanted to celebrate, I instantly said it had to be at our favourite hotel in the world! They never disappoint. The staff are amazing, the rooms immaculate and comfortable, and you could never get bored of the beautiful views. As this was our fourth stay, we got a very warm welcome from the staff. They are all wonderful, but in particular Demanta is a joy to be around. Pearson is great company, and what can we say about Virgil? He is unforgettable! Dennis took care of us well as did Ricardo. It was nice to catch up with the manager, Johana who told us about all of the improvements that have been going on, and are currently ongoing. And Gregory. What a superstar! The man knows what we want before we do! One morning I asked my wife if it was time for a holiday beer, only to see Greg coming over with two cold Banks! We have paid for butlers in the past, but he is so much better. The food is fantastic, the cocktails even better. It really is our little piece of paradise. Thanks for another wonderful stay. Can’t wait to see you all next year.…

We were regular visitors before Covid. The hotel is even better than ever. It is English country house style with exquisite taste. The hotel is charming and elegant with a friendly and inviting atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with gorgeous views of the sea or the garden. The gardens are well kept and beautiful. The staff were uniformly friendly and attentive - always ready to help with a smile. They made me feel welcome and pampered, and took care of every detail. The food is outstanding and varied, with a choice of local and international cuisine. I enjoyed the delicious breakfast every morning, the scrumptious afternoon tea every day, and the exquisite dinner every night for my entire stay. The hotel also offers fun and relaxing activities, such as swimming, snorkeling, sailing, tennis, golf, and spa treatments. Cobblers Cove Barbados is a luxurious and relaxing hotel that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable vacation. It is a hidden gem that I can’t wait to visit again.…

We had originally planned and booked this visit in 2019 but due to all the mess of covid and then illness it took 4 years to actually get there . Coblers cove did not disappoint ! What a beautiful hotel , no different from the photographs, pink , stripy and green absolutely stunning . We loved the pool area which looks out onto the beautiful west coast of Barbados . A short drive to Speightstown and Hometown in different directions , fabulous choice of restaurants all around . The hotel restaurant is lovely with a great choice of meals and lovely relaxed service . The central bar area is open to the pool so a perfect spot for a drink with nightly local entertainment . Our room was an ocean front suite with fabulous views of the gardens and the sea , a spacious bedroom and bathroom with plenty of storage areas, plus a lounge area and small kitchen plus a gorgeous balcony with two chairs where we had our morning cuppa overlooking the sea. Loved the whole feeling of the place , helpful friendly staff nothing too much trouble and lots of local knowledge. particular mentions to Gregory in the restaurant , Virgil in the bar and Cara at the spa who gave the most amazing facials and massages . we have already booked to return . …
