We love the area! It is quiet and very peaceful. The beach and river are amazing! They do need to put some work into the villas as they are very out dated, the patio doors don’t lock properly and the louvered windows are missing glass in some areas. Overall, we had a lovely time!

The beach at French Man Cove us beautiful, and can visited by purchasing a pass for the day. I'd highly recommend this rather than staying at the hotel. The hotel is old, dilapidated in places and very dark at night. The kettle in the room produced very dirty water on first use, so was not used again. The AC unit outside is noisy, and leaks water onto the balcony. There is wooden block stick provided to secure the balcony door, as I assume locks don't work. The beds within the rooms are very small, particularly length wise. Returning from the beach after sunset is a very dark walk, with very few lights leading to the rooms. Security staff and the lifeguards were helpful, however beach bar staff (which is the only place to access food on site as the kitchen is unavailable due to renovations) were slow to assist and rarely ventured onto the beach to take orders/assist. Guests of the hotel are required to pay for beach chairs, the same as visitors to the beach.

It was a good experience. This property had lots of potential and we are glad we went. However, we knew to expect a less updated version of what it used to be . The villa definitely needs some upgrading. The faucet in the kitchen barely had any water and the whole property needed a good power wash on the outside. The views were amazing but there was lots of overgrown greenery. The privacy was priceless and it was wonderful to have the beach to ourselves in the morning. I was on the understanding that they have been renovatong for a while, but the property doesnot reflect it. Once renovations are actually done we would gladly return. The place has a special magic that we truly appreciated.

My husband and I stayed in a 1 BR ocean view villa at Frenchman’s Cove Beach Resort. The views from the villa were spectacular. The villa was very spacious, however we couldn’t enjoy the space because there was only 1 ac unit and it was located in the bedroom. Whenever we showered, we would be sweating before we could get out of the bathroom. The villa is poorly maintained. The bathroom door knob was falling off and does not close. The kitchen sink had caked on grime as if it hadn’t been cleaned in years. The toilet had stains from not being washed. I wore my flip flops in the shower because of the unsanitary conditions throughout the villa. Thankfully, we had only booked a 1 night stay. We went to Frenchman’s Cove Beach in the morning before check out and the beach was beautiful. My husband was taking a shower after returning from the beach, when he felt something crawling on his arm. He was washing his hair so his eyes were closed. His immediate reaction was to brush his arm. When he brushed his arm, he immediately felt something wiggle underneath his foot. At this point he opened his eyes and saw that it was a huge cockroach that had been crawling on him, and that he also just stepped on. I was in the bedroom and I heard him gasp in horror. Unfortunately, the nightmare did not end there. As we were removing our belongings from the villa, we were once again horrified by several huge cockroaches hiding behind our suit bag that was hanging on the wall in the bedroom!

The grounds were exceptional!! Beautiful, lush, vegetation and majestic mature trees. We enjoyed the bird songs in the morning. It is an easy walk to the pristine river/cove where the fresh water from the river meets the salt water of the ocean. The setting is serene. It allows you to be with your thoughts and could be a good place to write a book. The rooms, though spacious and habitable are in dire need of renovations. With renovations, Frenchman's Cove could be more than a Five Star hotel!

The cottage was great and the overall property was green and eco friendly. However, the small 'garden' area at the back of the cottage facing the sea, needs attention and maintenance.
