I stayed at Poets Cove back in 2023 and now again in 2026. This time I stayed in one of the villas for only one night. Unfortunately the cleaning services provided were poor, I found used soap on the floor of the powder room. There was hair and shampoo stains in one of the bathrooms and the shower curtains were also stained. Housekeeping is not provided if you are staying there for longer. However kitchen set up was nice, it had all the cookware and utensils and they even provided dish pods. The villa is very outdated and all the carpet floors were stained as well. The resort is beautiful, and the property is well-maintained. Unfortunately one of the pools and the SPA were closed during my stay. Staff is very helpful and nice. The view is incredible!

We had a wonderful stay at Poets Cove Resort. Our room was spacious, clean, private, and very comfortable, which made it easy for our family to relax and enjoy the island. The hot tub was a great feature and made the stay feel extra special. We also really enjoyed the food, and the overall atmosphere of the resort was peaceful and welcoming. We had a great time and would happily stay again.

Beautiful location and a lovely quiet cottage. I received a card and bottle of wine for my birthday which was much appreciated. Pools, hot tubs and BBQ were all great! Only small complaint was that the kitchen was not very well stocked with cooking utensils and cutlery etc.

We enjoyed our stay at Poets Cove. The food was excellent, the bed was very comfortable, pools were well maintained. The room was very warm as no A/C but once we got the fans going it was nice. The location is remote and very quiet which we liked.We took advantage of the kayak rentals and drove to some lookout spots nearby.

The property needs a bit of maintenance, particularly in the pool area. There also seems to be a shortage of staff in key areas like the restaurant. Transperancy of amenities was also an issue. The spa was closed both the labour day Monday and the Tuesday following. During prime revenue season. This would have affected our choice of stays and do think this is very misleading to guests not to disclose this prior to a stay. Still a beautiful spot and the marina staff are excellent and acommodating. The resort team needs some reflection on these issues noted above.

Very good getaway spot. The rooms were fine in the main building. The restaurant was only average considering the price they were charging. But everyone working there was very helpful and lovely. It’s a quiet spot on a beautiful island.
