We enjoyed our stay, the only thing i would say is they need to upgrade the 2 bedroom villa, new carpet and comfortable furniture would have been nice. Otherwise, stunning views and the beds were very comfortable.

The view from our room was beautiful. Food was delicious in the onsite restaurant, bed was comfortable too. They needed to have done some spring cleaning as there was moss & weeds growing on our patio. We were placed in the room right under the stairs to the restaurant and the backside of the elevator, not sure why when the place wasn’t at full capacity.

My wife and I had a really pleasant break at Poets Cove. We travelled during off-season which meant limited options available for food, entertainment and touristy activities. We saw numerous reviews that indicated the resort was in a poor state BUT our experience was definitely not the same. The room and facilities were really good (we noted a couple of shabby chairs in the room - but not sufficient to detract from our overall experience). Will definitely go back to this site - considering a family vacation to one of the cottages/villas.

The property and surrounding area are beautiful. The view from the room was spectacular. Staff at the front desk and at the restaurant were welcoming and accommodating. The only suggestion I have for improvement is moving away from disposable, single-use plastic wrapped cups to reusable cups and mugs in the rooms.

Christmas Family Vacation
First time stay at Poets Cove, stayed in one of the Cottages with 3 kids under 5 for Christmas Easy to get to. Love the hot tub. The kitchen had everything we needed and exceeded my expectations. The outdoor pool was heated and the kids loved swimming in it, there is also a hot tub next to the pool which was nice to warm up before walking back to Cottage. We brought our own food, so didn't eat at the restaurant. We will be back again.

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!

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.
