Stay was incredible! The beach is less trafficked than many others in Phuket and good for swimming. Staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. They helped us set up numerous activities. Our room was clean, comfortable and near the beach. Will stay at the Cove again!

An amazing property and staff. If you want a quiet relaxing holiday go to the Cove. Right on a lovely, safe, shallow beach, which is in the sandy with the odd bit of coral if walking barefoot. Our bungalow was immaculately clean, spacious with a lovely large open bathroom with walk in shower. The inclusive breakfast from the menu is excellent and unexpected for Thailand (a posh full English, smoked salmon with scrambled eggs, eggs Benedict....). Lunch/dinner menu is excellent. The staff and Rachel the hotel manager are so friendly and attentive, that it doesn't feel like being in a hotel. There is a small village about 15mins walk away with a few shops and local eateries, but up a short steep hill. Or you can walk around the safe rocks to another beach to avoid the hill. The pearl farm is worth a visit. There is an existing bar but this week they are adding a sports bar on the grounds. But don't be put off as I am sure it won't be a noisy one. Just something to add a bit to an already excellent location.

Hi Peter & Jill, it was an absolute pleasure to have you stay with us here at The Cove, I hope it wasn't too hard to return to Scotland after your holiday here in Thailand. Thank you so much for your amazing review I'll be sure to share all your fabulous feedback with the team, it will mean the world to them. We really are a big family here, and everyone takes great pride in making sure our guests have a memorable and enjoyable stay, from our cleaners who work so tirelessly to keep our rooms spotlessly clean to our amazing chefs who create the most delicious meals from breakfast through to dinner. Thank you for taking the time to be so specific and to notice every detail, that's very kind of you. We're glad that you're as excited about our new beach bar as we are, we think it will be a great new addition to The Cove as well! I really hope we can welcome you back to The Cove again on your next holiday, this time with a nice cold beer over a game of pool maybe ;) All the best

Blew us away
The staff were amazing as soon as we checked in. The location is quiet and romantic with their own beachside with no one but the guests of the hotel. Each room has so much charm and we liked that it was eco-conscious. We can’t wait to come back. PS. Worth it to stay beachside! Although the sea view rooms are very nice as well.
Welcome mojito and fruit. We bought the champagne but it was waiting on ice for us.
Dinner right on the water.
Nice pool that looks into the ocean.
Plenty of cute places to sit and read.

Everything about our experience at The Cove was top quality. It is a beautiful facility and we were greeted by very friendly and helpful staff. Advice on what to do/see and available tours were at our fingertips and they made us feel comfortable with our every question or need quickly attended to. I was also very impressed at the attempt to be environmentally friendly, love this! The one thing that would keep me from choosing to stay here again was simply personal preference - I didn't care for the European ambiance. There was constant music going that gave a sort of suave club feel, and there were more "non-Thai" menu items than traditional (though the food was still excellent.) Nothing wrong with these things, it was just not my taste as I preferred to have a more Thai experience.

Chill place
Lovely place is a VERY chill part of Phuket. Not much going on there, which is wonderful if that is what you are looking for. Good food. The pool had a problem they were fixing, but they were very quick to compensate us since we couldn’t use it. There are kayaks you can use too. The beach isn’t the most beautiful, but the scenery around is very nice and they have their own sandy area that feels like a beach. Loved the decor too.

Small property with only 15 room, even when it was full we still felt that it was quiet. Very friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble and we could not have felt more welcome. Secluded beach away from the busy tourist traps, excellent on site restaurant - we ate there all week and the food was always fresh and very tasty.

Perfect Phuket boutique hotel
We stayed at The Cove for 4 nights in early January and it was absolutely perfect. The staff were all so welcoming and friendly and really complement the relaxed vibe. Whilst the hotel is a small boutique resort, it is absolutely immaculate. The rooms are beautifully designed with great attention to detail and an understated luxury. We loved the little touches like the pretty broom to sweep away any sandy traces of our day on the beach, and the delicious Thai ground coffee provided in our room. The bay is beautiful and quiet with calm shallow waters perfect for swimming, and when you’re sat under the twinkling lights of the terrace, watching the sunset it feels like paradise. The restaurant there does great food, great cocktails, and great breakfasts. I can’t recommend The Cove highly enough for anyone looking for a relaxed, luxurious boutique hotel with a lovely chilled out vibe. Thank you to Edouardo and his team for making this a really memorable stay!

Wonderful weekend
I spent and improvised weekend in Phuket with my Wife and Son and wanted to tried an area we have never explored before. All we had were good surprised at The Cove. The Staff even wait for us until late night for the check in because our flight was delayed 3hours. The bungalow was very stylish and facing the sea. The food was amazing with a stone oven for home made bread and Pizza and we spend a wonderful Weekend. I recommend this place highly. Phil
