Delicious Breakfast Experience

I absolutely loved the breakfast buffet during my stay! The food was fresh and offered a great variety. One nice moment was when Felixa, one of the resident cats, decided to join me for a nap on my lap while I enjoyed my meal.

Stunning Pools and Beach

The swimming pools at the resort were a highlight of my trip! There were three different pools, including two infinity pools. It was easy to find a sun lounger, and the atmosphere was simply relaxing and rejuvenating.

Ideal for Families

I found the amenities for children to be fantastic! My family had a great time, especially at the kids' pool which had fun water slides. It was a perfect setup for a fun family vacation.

The resort offers stunning sea views and has a charming vibe, perfect for a relaxing getaway. My experience included a warm celebration of our anniversary, which was enhanced by attentive decor and a peaceful atmosphere. However, I did encounter issues with the dining experience in the restaurant, which lacked flavor and felt rushed due to the staff's demanding schedule. Overall, while the views and ambiance are exceptional, the food service could use some significant improvement.

I had a wonderful time at The Cove Rotana! The resort has lovely updated amenities, and the pool areas are perfect for families. However, the dining quality could use improvement, especially for a five-star resort. Although the check-in experience was a bit bumpy, the staff made up for it with great service once we were settled in.

I had a mixed experience at The Cove Rotana. The hotel is beautifully set along the beach with a nice ambiance, but the service left much to be desired. While the dining options were generally good, the chaotic management during meal times was frustrating. Overall, I can see the potential, but the inconsistencies in service and value made for a less than ideal stay.
