Fodor's Expert Review The Cove Eleuthera

Queen's Hwy., Gregory Town, Eleuthera Island, Bahamas Fodor's Choice

Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.

Forty secluded acres studded with scenic beach cottages set the tone for this relaxing island escape; 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 Point Bar (or 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 one of the holistic body or beauty treatments at the resort's spa, or relax in your private cottage and order room service.

PROS

  • top-rated amenities
  • one of the most luxurious places to stay on the island

CONS

  • need a car if you want to do anything outside the property

  • some lower-budget rooms lack the privacy of the bungalows and villas
