Cobblers Cove Hotel

2 weeks ago

The good: great location (can walk to Speightstown's restaurants and bars); clean rooms with good AC and showers; well maintained gardens and facilities; great variety of water sport activities (Hobie Cat sailing, etc.) The "not-so-good". We found the service adequate, at best. The staff was happy to fulfill requests (e.g. asking for iced water when getting some sun on the pool deck) but rarely (ever?) acted in a proactive manner. And some staff had a bit of attitude (perhaps if you're not identified as a returning British guest, you don't qualify for 5-star service?) Net-net, it's a lovely hotel in a good location. My recommendation (at least what we did), is to spend your days at the hotel (breakfast and sun/beach) and then head into Speightstown for happy hour, dinner, etc.). And don't be afraid to ask for what you need, as the staff will rarely approach you to check-in and ask how it's all going.

We originally planned to rent yachts for our wedding week — but choosing Cobbler’s Cove turned out to be a million times better. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place is something special. Everything felt effortless, personal, and wildly beautiful. We had most of the hotel booked for our 60+ guests, and it genuinely felt like our own private Caribbean estate. The staff was flawless — warm, attentive, and intuitive in the way that only the best hospitality can be. Every guest (and they’re a well-traveled bunch) raved about the service and can’t wait to go back. The week was a dream from start to finish — a welcome party, beachside rehearsal dinner, and ceremony and reception that somehow each topped the last. We stayed in the suite with the private pool, which became the perfect late-night spot once the formalities were done. Every day, we took advantage of the private boats, heading out for swims, snorkeling, and rum punches at sea. It was the ideal blend of adventure and total relaxation. And the food — truly exceptional. Every meal felt like something out of a world-class restaurant: fresh, vibrant, and unmistakably Barbadian. From the beachside breakfasts to our multi-course wedding dinner, it was all beyond expectations. Cobbler’s Cove manages the impossible — it’s five-star luxury wrapped in warmth and ease. They had everything we needed for the perfect wedding week, and then somehow gave us more. We left feeling like we’d lived in a dream, and our guests are still talking about it. If you’re lucky enough to be considering Cobbler’s Cove for your wedding or even just a getaway — don’t hesitate. It’s heaven.

Very average for me! Overpriced for what you get! Rooms are big but outdated! Food is very average with not great service! Location is nice with beautiful tropical garden. Going back to Barbados, I would look for a better place to stay.

Loved this place. Our room felt like home the minute we checked in. Everything from the bar to the pool to the restaurant were great. BBQ night was delicious (note there is a dress code). Walking distance to Speightstown and some nice restaurants

I really love this place. Not only is it a beautiful stretch of beach, a lovely garden, great food and nice service, I just adore the details and styling of Cobblers Cove. From the bar menu illustrations to the pastel pink pencils in the rooms to the custom china. It gives Wes Anderson meets the Caribbean vibes in a great way.
