The Cove Atlantis

My wife and I just returned from 3 nights at the Cove and it is a beautiful hotel with a couple of issues. We have stayed at 5 star hotels around the world and this would rate right up there. They do have a couple of issues, the open walkway between the check in area and the tower that has all the rooms is very nice but at this time of year extreemly windy ( you can almost get blown away) and when it rained the entire walk between you room and the front entrance was very dangerous due to the tiles on the floor become very slippery when wet.... more

I have been to Atlantis in the Coral Tower, Royal Tower and Harborside. I stepped it up and stayed in the HIGH end section The Cove. What a mistake. It did not matter where we got food in the Cove area it was wrong. Ever get lox and a begal for breakfast with no begal? We did 2 different times, wrong eggs, wrong salad, wrong drinks happened often, incorrect food almost ever meal in the cove area. In the Cove pool area a waitress would stop and ask if we wanted a drink I tried to order a mudslide at $25.00 the Cove price for frozen... more

My girlfriends and I stayed four nights at The Cove the week before the "grand opening" festivities began. What a beautiful hotel. Everything about it was so beautiful and luxurious. The details put into the design of The Cove's lobby and corridors are like nothing I've seen before. Absolutely spectacular. The staff was incredibly friendly, gracious, and accomodating. Dinner at Mesa was the best we had the whole weekend. The "adult" pool looked like a scene straight out of South Beach. We enjoyed the music (live dj!)... more

I missed all the celebrities the weekend before, but the staff was still star struck! with Stevie Wonder and Tyra Banks! The staff at The Cove still treated me like a star when I arrived and make the Bahamian hospitality seem so natural with "my pleasure". The lobby is open air and beautiful. The first day with rain was maybe too open and wet. (Don't know what they will do in a hurricane?) The next day was clear and sunny. But yes it is a stunning hotel and rooms are awesome! I had a 17th floor view overlooking ocean and Aquaventure. The... more

As a frequent visitor to the Ocean Club for it's peaceful atmosphere I cheated on them and came to the Cove. With the Adult pool you don't get any "Mommy, Mommy Look Look you're not Looking" like you get at the Myan temple pool at Atlantis. This was great. The pool is shallow and they play club music it's great. I recommend a cabana but make sure you don't get Julie as your host. She basically moved in with us and never left. She took a break, went and got her lunch and came back to our cabana to eat. So much for privacy. One side of... more

My wife, brother, brother-in-law, ans sister went to the Cove this past weekend and we had the best family vacation that we have ever had - the energy, even before all the celebrities arrived, was amazing. From check-in to check-out, there was not one service flaw. The pool had top-notch service and great music. The new slides at the water park are great, and the new night club is out of this world. I highly recommend The Cove, I'll most likely see you there!

Was fortunate enough to be one of the invited guests at the big opening this weekend, where it was easy to trip on a celebrity if you weren't looking, which of course I was. I realize Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder won't be playing every night, but the place was simply amazing. I wanted to hate it, because I don't like big hotels and "scenes," but the Cove was off the hook. No, the service isn't great, but the staff is unusually friendly, and they at least try to accomodate. The rooms are gorgeous, although missing some of the amenities... more

Stayed at the Cove May 4-8. Had a fantastic time! Went to the Dolphin Cay, ate at Cafe Martinique, Mesa Grill, Nobu and Fathoms! EVerything was great. And the staff is amazing. Don't believe everything you read. The only problem I encountered was the maid didn't come clean the room the first night we were there, and that turned out to be beacuse the "Make up room" button on the panel was shorting out. They apologized and had the room cleaned without an hour. I would definetly go back to this resort. BTW there are nude sunbathers at the CAIN... more

I normally am too lazy to write reviews when I get back from a trip, but I feel very strongly that the Cove has, so far, gotten a bad rap. We just returned from a three night stay, and I have almost nothing but positive to say about our stay at the Cove. From the moment we pulled up, we found the staff kind and friendly; everyone seemed interested in making us feel welcomed and comfortable. We were told that the sort of room we were requesting was not ready ( we wanted a room overlooking the resort, rather than the construction... more

My husband and I spent four nights at the Cove, despite the previous reviews posted here! We are relatively frequent travelers and usually stay in properties recommended by Andrew Harpers Q Club, so we have fairly high expectations. Yes, it's expensive; yes, they have some bugs to work out; yes, there is some construction going on; but we didn't have the awful experience that some others have described. The location was lovely, the weather fine. The staff was very friendly including the gentleman who met us at the airport and found... more
