Fodor's Expert Review The Cove Eleuthera

Forty secluded acres studded with scenic beach cottages set the tone for this relaxing island escape, which underwent a sweeping renovation in 2013. A rocky promontory separates two coves, each with a sandy beach and calm water, perfect for snorkeling. The poolside patio is a good place for breakfast or cocktails, but sitting at the Sunset Bar, built into the rock between the coves, will become one of your favorite activities. Clustered cottages have ocean or garden views, tile floors, high slanted ceilings, 500-thread-count sheets, and 42-inch flat-screen TVs. Take in the sunset from one of three restaurants on the property, enjoy a cup of coffee at the resort's Bahama Bean Coffee Shop, or relax in your private cottage and order room service.
