Cobblers Cove - Barbados

Amazing small hotel exceeded our high expectations we celebrated my daughters graduation after A levels it was a perfect place to chill very friendly beautiful property very exclusive felt right at home

Outstanding all round. A boutique hotel with 40 rooms set in a lovely location with very friendly staff. We had a garden room on the ground floor so could walk straight out into the mature garden. If you get a garden room the ground floor is better as the patio is slightly larger then the balcony of the first floor rooms and the gardens are mature so privacy is not an issue. If you get a sea view room, go for the first floor as there is not a lot of privacy for the ground floor rooms / patios. Breakfast is excellent and a tasty complimentary afternoon tea is served at 4pm. Watersports is run by Bradley (a true gent); you get 1/2 hour complementary motor boat use (with driver) daily so you can go up and down the coast or water ski. Decent snorkelling off the beach, even saw turtles. Just wonderful all round - compliments to Joanna Roterberg and her team.

Another return visit and just as good as we remembered. From the moment we arrived to the time we had to leave, we felt so welcome by the kindness of all of the staff. It feels like visiting friends. As usual the suite was incredible, clean and comfortable. It was so good that we barely left the hotel apart from to walk on the beach or take one of the complimentary boat trips. The food is still the best we have tried in the Caribbean, we went full board and they would quite happily feed you all day if you could manage it! We saw monkeys, turtles, hummingbirds and the gardens are beautiful and extremely well taken care of. The biggest asset of the hotel are the wonderful staff. I can’t remember all of their names, far too many for my memory, but a special mention to some that really stand out. Gregory runs around making sure that everyone is wanting for nothing all day. He must be the fittest man on the island! It was lovely to chat to Johanna the general manager. She made sure we were taken care of. Demanta is a superstar. She is the restaurant manager and although she is there seemingly all of the time, every morning she would look glamorous and give you a lovely welcome. Pearson at the bar is a lovely guy, very polite and attentive. And then there is Virgil! Worth the visit just to see him! He is funny, entertaining, he is SO on the ball, figuring out what everyone likes and wants. And he never stops cleaning the bar. Just watch him. He’ll be busy making cocktails, and the whole time he is wiping down, keeping the bar clean. My wife and I decided that it should be called Virgil’s’ bar, but I’m not sure they will change it! Overall, another fantastic stay. We look forward to our next visit. See you soon.

We just got back from a wonderful stay at Cobblers Cove hotel and cannot wait to return! From the time we left the airport we felt incredibly cared for and only have good things to say. Booking the hotel was easy on their website- no issues and they emailed us directly asking us if we have any specific requirements/activities we were interested in. One was golf at Sandy Lane which they set up for my husband and transport to and from the airport and golf course. We were picked up in a comfortable blue lexus that fit all our suitcases and golf clubs and were greeted warmly by our driver Waldron. He gave us a down-low of the island and recommendations for local food spots that we truly appreciated. We were greeted at the hotel by Kimberly who was incredible and showed us around the entire property (which is gorgeous!) and answered all our questions and took note of all our requests. So much so that we extended our trip almost immediately upon checking in. Joanne the hotel manager made sure to check in with us throughout our stay and we also had a lovely chat at the cocktail hour with the hotel's owner Hugh! Matthew the bartender made us delicious drinks both on and off the menu. Hazel was lovely as was everyone else at the restaurant! We live in NYC and are used to great restaurant food and the meals at Cobblers cove and the nearby restaurants were delicious! I was having fish cutters for lunch everyday. Bradley at watersports was wonderful and set up whatever we wanted on each day. The rooms were comfortable and had everything we could think of. The interior design of the entire hotel was just beautiful! Live music every night was an absolute treat! Overall 10/10 experience at this gorgeous boutique oceanfront hotel. Thank you to everyone at Cobblers Cove for your warm hospitality and a wonderful holiday :) We will be back!

In general the food was very well prepared and the staff were wonderful. The garden are absolutely gorgeous, very peaceful and relaxing.

The only thing that needs looking in to are the birds that come around in the breakfast area, you must stop feeding them otherwise they will just keep coming back. Also ask guest to stop feeding them.

To give a realistic review, I thought cobblers Cove overall was a nice place to stay. I think you have to rate these places relative to the area it is in. I was looking for a five star resort, and I came across cobblers Cove. The grounds around the resort were exceptional. They really did a fabulous job of keeping the grounds in exceptional shape, as well as trying to provide an overall aesthetic. As for the resort, I don’t think I would classify it as a resort. It had more of a hotel vibe but again I think that is more of what is provided in the area. I would not say it is a five star resort I would give it more of a three or four star hotel vibe. The beach Was gorgeous and it is pretty much a private beach even though there is no such thing as a private beach. The locals are very friendly. We rented a car and would dine out at local restaurants as well as the hotel restaurant. The food is good but a little expensive.

We rented a car and would dine out at local restaurants as well as the hotel restaurant. The food is good but a little expensive. the rooms are kind of small and the bed and pillows are not good at all. Even though you’re on vacation, I always like to have a TV as background noise and there is no TV in the room at all. All of the windows are just wooden slats, the only real windows are the bedroom, which is small.

Cobblers cove is a little slice of paradise, we stayed for 10 nights, our room was fantastic in every way, the staff were all amazing.. we will be revisiting in the future for sure.

It is hard to put in to words how unique and special this property is, truly! From the second you walk in the door you are treated so kindly. There is a level of personalization, hospitality and thoughtfulness that I have never experienced, and it was such a highlight during my first trip to Barbados! Everything from the friendly and fun staff, to the comfortable rooms and interior decor, it is a true gem. It is the type of place that I would wish to visit for many years to come as a tradition with family and friends. Thank you very much for a wonderful long weekend!

Cobblers Cove is a beautiful setting and pretty. Lovely colonial feel to the decor but lots of shortfalls! Inconsistent service across all areas in the restaurant and bar. Only a few staff who actually wanted to serve you the rest could be described as indifferent at best! We ate dinner once and the service was so slow and the environment was too dark and it was pricey. We ate out after that first evening experience. Shocked at the general upkeep and cleanliness of the pool very disappointing. Green slime around the inside on the tiles of the pool and handrail and a mouldy looking hotel canvas lilo that was left floating around! There was insufficient air conditioning in the room and worn furniture. The restaurant had chipped cups for breakfast, lanterns next to the dining tables that were dirty and covered in birds poo - you get the picture! The complimentary afternoon tea was soggy sandwiches and some tasteless cake. Has the ownership or management changed recently? Our experience was not expected. There was no management present at any time and we spent all 4 days in the hotel. There didn’t seem to be any one in charge which maybe accounted for the service shortfalls. Is this hotel still living on a previous reputation? The complimentary boat rides and the boatman was charming and pointed out all the places of interest. The housekeeping in our room was good. Sorry Cobblers but much improvements needed!

We stayed for 4 nights at cobbler cove and loved it. Do know, if you go there, that it is not the best place to walk to other restaurants or stores. It is a destination, but worthwhile and you won't want to leave. The property is beautiful and the grounds are well maintained. We got a room on the ocean and the ground level so it was easy to get around. The room and bathroom were very comfortable and there was deck seating right outside our room and along the ocean. We loved the attention to detail of the property, in particular the china - this is not something I usually pay attention to! I always use a gym when at a property and most times I am disappointed. It thought this gym was in the top 25% I have been to, and the top 90% for a small property. Good equipment, good setting and cool. The restaurant was good, although the selection was limited. We came to relax and that is what we did! It is the kind of property you can sit all day and look at the ocean. When we were leaving we stopped at a restaurant near the airport and the view was great, but the ocean was not as clear and was a lot rougher. We are glad we chose the west side of the island!
