The Cove Eleuthera

8/10 Good
"Hello, Having been to many Relais and Chateau properties through out the glove, my expectations were very high. I think The Cove did a great job overall for being in the Bahamas, however for this category of luxury resort, they fell short in many ways: They did not accomodate for an early check in, there were several power outages, internet and WiFi outages, there were water outages, the onsite water craft for excursions was not as clean as would be expected, there was a red ant infestation in our luxury bungalow which required sleeping in another suite for the night while fumigation took place. The staff was lovely, however, these issues need to be addressed."
