The food at the beach bar was impressive! We had a lovely meal while enjoying the stunning view of the cove. The grill offered great quality and generous portions, making our dining experience enjoyable throughout our visit. It definitely added to the charm of being at such a picturesque beach spot.

Stunning Beach Experience

The beach at Frenchman’s Cove was truly amazing! It had beautiful white sand, and the waves were perfect for body surfing. I loved that the beach was kept clean and felt safe, especially with a lifeguard present. It’s the ideal place for families and sunbathers alike.

Nature Retreat

The lush tropical surroundings were captivating! The gardens are well-maintained, and it felt like walking in a paradise. I loved seeing the fruit trees all around and the peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect spot to unwind and reconnect with nature. It was a refreshing escape from my busy routine.

Comfortable Stay

I stayed in one of the rooms at the Great House, which while a bit dated, was comfortable and clean. I appreciated having good air conditioning and hot water during my stay. It provided a restful retreat after spending time on the beach and exploring the gardens.

The resort spa offers a stunning beach with fantastic waves and clean sand, making it a great getaway. While the villas have beautiful views, they lack some essential amenities like Wi-Fi and modern kitchens, which is a letdown. Unfortunately, my experience with some staff members was marred by unprofessional behavior. Overall, it's a mixed bag with pros and cons worth considering before booking.

The resort offers a beautiful beach with pristine waters, perfect for a peaceful getaway. I enjoyed the lush surroundings and the quiet atmosphere, but my experience was marred by limited food options and poor service. While the day pass for beach access was quite affordable, the overall value for money does not match the high room rates, especially considering the lack of dine-in options and the need for better maintenance.
