Poets Cove is a charming retreat that offers a relaxing atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. The rooms are lovely, particularly the spacious two-bedroom cottage we stayed in, and the views from the lodge are breathtaking. However, some amenities, like air conditioning and privacy for hot tubs, could use improvement. Overall, it's a great choice for a peaceful family getaway, especially in a quiet cove, though it might not suit everyone's budget.

We stayed in a two-bedroom cottage, which was comfortable and beautifully decorated. The view from our room was fantastic, but I did find it a bit too warm at times since there was no air conditioning.

My stay at Poet's Cove was quite the mixed bag, starting with a beautiful setting and luxurious amenities, but unfortunately marred by a frustrating booking error. The lavish views and cozy cottage vibes were a highlight, but I was left feeling disappointed over the room mix-up and slow service at times. The resort is still very much worth a visit for its charm, despite a few setbacks that detracted from my experience.

Rooms

The cottage we received was cozy and roomy, with fantastic views of the ocean and marina. However, the decor felt a bit worn and in need of an update. It would have been nice to have better quality towels and bedding too.

While the maintenance team was friendly and helpful in resolving the door lock issue, the initial reception from staff was disappointing, especially after a long wait in the cold. Compensation for the booking mistake was lacking, which left a bitter note.

The pools and hot tubs were luxurious and well-designed, making them a delightful part of the stay. However, a few more amenities such as free breakfast options would elevate the experience.

Our stay at Poet's Cove had its highs and lows. While the views of the marina were stunning and the staff was genuinely welcoming, the accommodation unfortunately fell short in cleanliness and maintenance. We faced several issues with the facilities such as the pools, which were not functioning properly, and the condition of our room left a lot to be desired. Overall, there were great moments, but the lack of upkeep dampened our experience.
