Poets Cove is a go to resort for us. It’s like being away from daily life. Staff are great. It is a bit dated, but improved from the last time we were there. The only real negative…the king bed was two twin beds together. Beautiful location, beautiful grounds, amazing restaurant. We’ll be back for our fifth time!

Great service, food and spa. The restaurant and cafe were tasty and fast service. Had a massage at the spa for a treat and it was a needed experience. Can’t wait to come again!

The location is gorgeous and the building looks lovely from the outside but the rooms are dated, with some odd features, and it wasn’t the cleanest - especially the coffee maker.

Disappointed 😔 Chose this resort for a family celebration but found the resort to be dated and smelly. Room had a foul smell that we reported to the front desk and were told nobody was available to deal with it. The next day, we reported the same thing and were told someone would check it out but never heard anything further. Worried that the smell was potentially dangerous so slept with the windows open all night. We were told that switching rooms was not permitted either. Restaurant (only on on site) does not take reservations…perhaps the front desk could share this information at check in. Food was good. Two pools- one cold and one green with algae. Two hot tubs- one out of service, one filled with non paying customers who come in from the marina and joke about it. The views are beautiful but there are many other places to visit who appreciate travellers and offer superb service. Do not recommend 🙃

Very nice place to stay. This hotel has tennis court, pool, and it’s absolutely kids, pets and family friendly. However, it doesn’t have much choice of restaurant. So better do some research on restaurant or bring ur own food if you are staying for many days.

Despite the fact it’s located on a cove, the rooms are hot because of the direct sun on the windows. AC IS NEEDED! The staff is wonderful but often the resort is short staffed and not all venues can be readily available (a restaurant closed due to short staff and breakfast, although advertised, was also not available). The rooms are awesome (but hot). Overall, we enjoyed our stay mainly because of the staff and our large deck!
