Cobblers Cove Barbados

Barbados, Caribbean

Virgin rating

The hotel

An aura of understated class pervades this charming hotel hideaway, with many of its guests returning every year for an authentic Barbados experience. The attractive, colonial-style building with its iconic, coral-coloured Great House, vibrant tropical gardens and lovely rattan furnishings, overlooks a white-sand beach on Barbados's west coast. Pleasantly secluded, you are still only a short drive from some lovely restaurants and bars — that's if you can drag yourself away from the gourmet wonders of award-winning Camelot Restaurant which offers mouth-watering cuisine, weekly barbeques and a special seafood menu including a selection of freshly-caught local fish. There's a generous array of sports, which include tennis and complimentary daily lessons in water-skiing, sailing and windsurfing for each guest. The spacious suites are beautifully furnished and are packed with amenities. Each has its own balcony or terrace, dressing area and large bathroom filled with REN soaps and toiletries.

Hotel itself gorgeous . Clean (ish) very pretty grounds , pool area nice , no beach to sit on only walk Staff were rude, seemed bored and uninterested, also unhelpful like they were doing us a huge favour , food a lot to be desired . Stayed 3 nights couldn’t wait to move to our next location . Won’t be returning . Hugely disappointing

I am one who prefers a new destination each time we travel, however, I cannot wait to return to Cobbler's Cove for round two.

I am one who prefers a new destination each time we travel, however, I cannot wait to return to Cobbler's Cove for round two. The quaint, club-like atmosphere, superb service, great food and wonderful interior design and gardens make this spot a gem on a world scale. We never left the property for how wonderfully relaxed and pampered we felt at Cobbler's Cove. The (almost) adults-only atmosphere was romantic and chill. Understated elegance reigns at this resort...no flash, but plenty of luxury at every turn. Great job to the graphics team as well! You really have thought of every little detail at CC. Thank you for the memories:) Read less

Returning for a special reunion dinner after a five year absence, Cobblers did not disappoint. Decor was all refreshed and lovely. Sadly, we were not staying there as we just had one overnight on the island before a sailing trip. Service was welcoming and efficient. The food was superb. Altogether a wonderful and memorable evening.

Staff were always happy to help nothing was too much trouble. Food was delicious especially the Beef Tenderloin OMG so good!!! The Spa therapist Cara definitely knew how to relax us with perfect massages/facials. Honestly this was a perfect holiday and we would like to thank the incredible Joanna & all her staff who were a credit to the hotel. Read less

Cobblers Cove is one of the few family-owned hotels left on the island, and the low-key family vibe is something that we absolutely love. All of the things we want are included - but the flexible dining options give us plenty of opportunity to get out and about on the island. Joanna has created such an amazing team - including the wonderful Gregory (who ensures we want for nothing around the pool), Pearson and Virgil (Bar tenders extraordinaire), Bradley and the team (watersports) and the wonderful restaurant staff including Hazel and Ricardo - and everyone I have left out, you are all wonderful. We would highly recommend this hotel, and have already re-booked :) Read less
