I absolutely love staying here for the peace and quiet but I do notice that the property is not well kept. The hot tub jets were not working, the cafe was closed. The hot tub and pool beside the water was closed. However the restaurant is amazing and has great staff! The front desk staff were very knowledgeable and helpful throughout my stay and don’t miss the spa!

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.

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.

Overdue for investment and upkeep

The resort had nice staff who were friendly and helpful. But the condition of the room and facilities appeared they had no investment or upkeep in many years. What was once a luxury resort is in serious need of refurbishment. The couches were stained, mattresses well worn. It was odd the parking lot had a number of derelict motor homes on it which detracted from an otherwise high quality setting.

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.
