I had seen a lot of mixed reviews of this property but it ended up being wonderful. The balcony and views from the Kings Suite are all amazing, the restaurant had great food and the flowers are grounds around the property were immaculate. There was an issue with the pool and gym before we arrived but we were notified and it was resolved by the end of our first day there. Would love to come back and visit again!

We enjoyed our stay, the only thing i would say is they need to upgrade the 2 bedroom villa, new carpet and comfortable furniture would have been nice. Otherwise, stunning views and the beds were very comfortable.

His property could be excellent except they opt to rent out the damaged cabins while other cabins sit empty. The window was broken the fridge didn’t work it wasn’t cold at all and there were huge ants that they knew about because there was ant traps at the doors.
Frozen leaking freezer

The view from our room was beautiful. Food was delicious in the onsite restaurant, bed was comfortable too. They needed to have done some spring cleaning as there was moss & weeds growing on our patio. We were placed in the room right under the stairs to the restaurant and the backside of the elevator, not sure why when the place wasn’t at full capacity.

My wife and I had a really pleasant break at Poets Cove. We travelled during off-season which meant limited options available for food, entertainment and touristy activities. We saw numerous reviews that indicated the resort was in a poor state BUT our experience was definitely not the same. The room and facilities were really good (we noted a couple of shabby chairs in the room - but not sufficient to detract from our overall experience). Will definitely go back to this site - considering a family vacation to one of the cottages/villas.

I absolutely love staying here for the peace and quiet but I do notice that the property is not well kept. The hot tub jets were not working, the cafe was closed. The hot tub and pool beside the water was closed. However the restaurant is amazing and has great staff! The front desk staff were very knowledgeable and helpful throughout my stay and don’t miss the spa!

The property and surrounding area are beautiful. The view from the room was spectacular. Staff at the front desk and at the restaurant were welcoming and accommodating. The only suggestion I have for improvement is moving away from disposable, single-use plastic wrapped cups to reusable cups and mugs in the rooms.
