The hotel

Nestled in beautiful tropical gardens, Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel is a gorgeous adults-only boutique hotel, offering guests a secluded retreat from the world. Aptly named, it really is paradise here with a pristine white beach and exceptional views of the lagoon and the northern islands from the peninsula. Highly romantic, the resort even offers ‘love nest’ twin sun beds. Also recommended is a visit to Spa Cinq Mondes. Not only does it boast a pool, hammam and flower baths, you can treat yourself to an Indian Ayurvedic massage — sure to banish any lingering cares! At the Paradise Cove, water sports are very much the order of the day, from snorkelling to water-skiing. Come dusk, Stay Bar is the place to sip on tropical cocktails whilst admiring the sunset. There’s live and unplugged music here too but first enjoy dinner at a choice of restaurants. For local dishes, the Dining Room is ideal or experience Asian fusion cuisine at XO. For a real treat, book a table at The Cove — highly romantic, tables for two are set in small huts, right on the beach, beside a coconut grove.

I wanted to adore this place but fell quite short. Came here end of April/ start of May for a 30th Birthday. Have travelled a lot and worked in high end hospitality, so was looking forward to 10 days of doing absolutely nothing! Being vegan I especially picked this hotel having stated it is very vegan friendly and had a vegan tasting menu from Alexis Gauthier having been to his restaurant in Soho. But everything was abit too much effort for a holiday. We arrived to a beautiful place, must admit the hotel was abit smaller than anticipated but absolutely lovely. We were shown to our room after a brief check in, overview of the hotel and discussion of dietary requirements (also having emailed the hotel beforehand.) No one at check in mentioned that all the information for the hotel was on a QR code so for the rest of the evening till the next day we were in abit of limbo not having a map of the hotel, what was going on etc! My mum even tried to contact the hotel via email and WhatsApp to try and do something nice for me for my birthday in a few days but they never replied to either messages. The room was lovely but with a few issues, there had obviously been at leak in the ceiling at some stage with brown water marks, the toilet wasn’t attached to the back of the wall and really wobbled 🤣 there was dirt and hair behind the back of the bath and had to ask three times for some extra hangers when we arrived. The communication between staff was a little off, sat down to dinner on the first night was told the bread was vegan (It didn’t look it) the next day was told the same bread wasn’t vegan. At lunch they brought us octopus dip which we had to ask for them to take away and throughout the course of the holiday was served salmon, cheese etc. Having voiced some concern after the first few days we spoke to the food and beverage manager who was very apologetic and they did up their game. The food I was served in the main buffet having spoken with one of the head chefs was absolutely fantastic! Breakfast was also abit limited but lovely vegan pastry, fruit and on our last morning they did have some vegan yogurt which was delicious. The rum tasting was a highlight of the holiday and great fun. We also enjoyed going to the gym and playing tennis in the evenings when cool enough! Did try to book yoga for the afternoon class which was on the activity sheet for that day but apparently it wasn’t happening, which was rather disappointing. The staff definitely make this place and a special mention to Shubham, Pritish, Dev, Yan and Ayvind (whos aqua gym was brilliant). They really went above and beyond to make our stay special after having a few hiccups at the start. Read less

At the stay Bar all the waiting staff were brilliant a mention for Yushal remembered our drinks order from day one , John at Peninsula restaurant again excellent service , thank you, Manoj at the beach bar he’s been there 32 years outstanding service and a real gentleman many thanks 🙏. There are lots more staff to thank their names escape me but overall I cannot think of anyone who didn’t smile or say have a nice day . We did the Catamaran trip what fabulous day the three lads running the show were brilliant can’t remember their names but thanks guys it was a blast !! We did the snorkelling on the glass bottom boat which was good fun thanks all at the water sports staff . We will definitely be returning to Paradise Cove thanks once again. Read less

Incredible hotel, absolutely stunning setting. All staff are so lovely and kind and do everything they can to make your stay perfect. Isea at the front desk was so welcoming and showed us around, and was so kind and helpful when we wanted to book extra you and me moments. Yodesh and Sanjeet to name but a few were such lovely waiters and made an amazing baileys hot chocolate. Yodesh had excellent rum recommendations that my husband loved and always greeted us with our names which was a lovely personal touch. The rooms were spotless, primela and the team took very good care of us. Veeren one of the gardeners, did amazing flower displays everyday which were just beautiful. Overall we had an amazing honeymoon, the food was to die for absolutely spectacular for all meals, and there was a very wide selection of drinks available which were brought to you wherever you were on the beach; by the pool etc. Highly reccomend this hotel for all but also especially for honeymooners! Thanks you all again, Mr and Mrs White Read less
