Cobblers Cove

I never imagined the most perfect resort until I got to Cobbler’s Cove. I have been all over the world and I am already planning our trip back here. Every year for the rest of my life. My best friend got married here. We stayed from Thursday to Monday. The staff is beyond anything you can imagine. They take care of you, they genuinely care about you as a person, not just a guest of their resort. The amenities are beyond anything on their website or what you’d expect. I have never been to a resort with the most caring, kind, attentive, and loving people. Please go to this resort just to meet Virgil. You will never meet anyone like him in your life. He took care of me, noticing I needed something before I even realized I did. In making sure I was happy, knowing exactly what kind of drinks I’d like that I didn’t even know I did. If you looked hungry but didn’t realize it from enjoying the sun, he’d just slide a menu over to you. That kind of care. He shines. I won’t spoil his aura on this review. You just have to meet him. Gregory is also someone you will appreciate. These two men are gems. The rooms and the property were incredible, like something you read in a novel. Everything literally was PERFECT. I give honest reviews on other platforms and there’s always some negative thing I could say about a place. For Cobbler’s Cove, my only negative is that I had to leave this place. You’re probably not even reading this anymore and I could write 500 pages about this resort. The staff, the FOOD oh my goodness the food!!! In 5 days, not one thing I didn’t like and I am a picky eater. It was so fresh, with attentive staff they literally will go above and beyond for you. You forget something? They’ll walk in the middle of the night to the gas (petrol) station and get it for you. I asked a staff member to make sure I was awake the next morning. Instead of calling my room, banging on my door, the gardener just happens to come by in the morning and be raking the sidewalk. It was like the most subtle natural way to wake me up. What kind of resort cares about you that much? This one does and I am obsessed. My best friend’s wedding was unbelievable. If you have any doubt in your mind about this place, my husband would say how picky I am and I have not a single bad thing to say about the property, the staff, nothing! I CANNOT wait to go back. Go put your bare feet on the stone patio by the ocean on a place that feels like historic but modern palace and have the best experience of your life. You won’t regret it. It’s a place to escape to and I will for many years. Please go meet Virgil and Gregory. Go see a gorgeous experience with the staff and food that makes you feel like a VIP guest in their home. Can’t wait to go back. Btw, my friend’s wedding was perfect. Weddings are never perfect. This place made a perfect wedding.

Cobblers Cove is a very pretty hotel — very classic and understated, with that old-school charm that feels like it could be a backdrop in a James Bond film. The food was good, and we especially enjoyed the Sunday BBQ. Service was friendly and efficient. You do have access to the beach, though it’s worth noting there aren’t loungers or much set up down there — more of a place for a quick swim than a full beach day. Overall, an intimate and relaxing place to unwind.

Even though I did not stay at the hotel, as I normally rent a villa when visiting Barbados, I have heard about Cobblers Cove from my friends and had read about it in numerous travel magazine over the last few years. Now after enjoying a delightful dinner in it’s restaurant I can admit it is a very special place on the famous platinum coast. Beautifully maintained and designed in a charming style influenced by a sort of mixture of French Riviera blended with a traditional English country house decor. The restaurant has a lovely elegant ambiance and fabulous view of the sea and the food served was really tasty. Service was formal yet relaxed and friendly and an exemption was made so I could pay the bill in local currency instead of using the card. Together with my mum, we had a joyful and memorable time. The whole establishment looks beautiful and I honestly wouldn’t mind staying there next time I’m on Barbados.
