The Cove Phuket

We finished the last leg of our Thailand trip with a three night stay at The Cove. Immediately upon arrival we were greeted by the friendly front staff. There was another couple ahead of us checking in and while we wouldn’t have mind the wait, the staff quickly grabbed our bags and had us settled into a room that they already had prepared in anticipation of our arrival so that we wouldn’t have to wait. First impression of our room: SUPER CLEAN, SUPER CUTE, and MAJOR ATTENTION TO DETAIL! Quality of Food: we dined here for almost every meal –an array of DELICIOUS choices! The included breakfast is not like your typical boring international buffet, but you actually order a juice, a coffee/tea, and one item off their delightful menu which also comes with a fruit plate and bread basket. Peyo and Flodida (sp? Sorry!), along with their Manager (bummed I forgot his name!) were our favorite staff members who we’d prefer to call friends. They were extremely funny and super helpful in recommending fun activities (FREE kayaks and books and games!) as well as super thoughtful (from accommodating my birthday requests to remembering our anniversary when we just mentioned in passing). Just as we were getting ready to leave, they took our photo and surprised us with a little personalized photo souvenir to take home with us! Overall we felt very comfortable and happy with the actual hotel, impressed with the IG-worthy location and food, and like royalty with the attention from the staff.

We loved everything about this place! The room was so comfy! Has a massive bathroom, ample storage for all of our stuff, icy cold fridge and aircon, had Netflix when you want to chill out and watch some movies Straight out the front door of our room there was sun lounges to lay back and enjoy the beautiful beach of Ao Yon. Crystal clear water for you to swim or even use the kayaks to go explore! Now the restaurant is somewhere here you HAVE to go! The complimentary breakfast includes a juice of your choice, a coffee (best we’ve had in Thailand) and a selection of decent meals (the full English with scrambled eggs was SO good!) But the real star of the show is the Seafood Pizza. We have never had a more delicious meal in our entire lives! We usually venture out and try restaurants close by, but the food selections and prices were too good to pass up. Happy hour from 3pm-6pm is buy one cocktail, get one free. So we got a chance to try almost every cocktail there! And we couldn’t fault one!!! Can’t forget to mention the staff there too! Everyone was always smiling and happy to see you, never any complaints and there was not a task too difficult. I loved our stay at ‘The Cove Phuket’ and I can guarantee that next time we come to visit Phuket we are definitely coming to stay here!

It has been our third time in the cove and one more time we’re convinced it won’t be the last. From start to finish we had a great experience. Edina and Fernando are amazing managers and it felt as if we were returning to meet good friends. The Bungalows are spotless, clean and stylish and everything still feels super fresh and new. Complementary extras like Netflix and games are now available but even the kids weren’t very interested in watching TV while back to one of our favorite places around the world. You pretty much have a beach to yourself, can go out to paddle with the Kajak and explore the beaches around. The staff will guide you when to go best. The food is amazing and the cove team took an excellent decision to not just compete with the Thai food but go for an excellent fusion style kitchen - tuna poke is a must! Breakfast is fantastic with loads of different options which will match your morning mood (from super healthy light detox dishes to eggs Benedict with salmon - super yummy). Everyone wants you to be there and will run the extra mile - if it is (the third) request for more ketchup for the boys or the request for an early breakfast, everybody has been accommodating wherever possible, and the best thing is that it always goes along with an authentic smile. Thanks again for an amazing few super relaxing days. Keep going and say hello to the whole team.

If you are looking for a small, quiet and frindly place, this is your spot in Phuket! Lovely and spacious rooms, quite small ressort (12 villages), one nice pool, super friendly stuff, and a good restaurant, all in front of a beach where rarelly there's somebody else. Probably not the best beach in Phuket, but a good one! For sure, we will repeat!

Thank you for this very special holidays! The staff is so nice in a very natural way. Also you will get to know the managers. Anytime I felt super comfortable and The Cove itself is a magnificent calm place with cute little details everywhere and a clean beach. Perfectly spacious bungalows in modern beautiful design. The service at the restaurant could not be better and the food is top.. including a cocktail happy hour.

We stayed in the beachfront villa with a veranda for 5 nights and it was truly the most relaxing vacation we have been on in a long time. The staff were amazing and attended to our every need, even to help clean my hand when the neighbours cat scratched at me (we still snuggled and pet it after the incident). The pool was serene and the resort offered kayaks to take out on the ocean and the ocean straight from the resort was calm and perfect for swimming. The restaurant was quite delicious and offered western to Thai dishes. My favourite was the Thai Chicken Pizza (cooked in a wood pizza oven). The room was very clean but quite close to nature; many wasps found their way into our bathroom, and a millipede. Luckily there are many cute geckos around to help and our room had a bug net over the bed which was helpful. We were so sad to leave; as it started to feel like home. We will for-sure stay there again in Phuket!

The Cove was simply spectacular - beautiful beachfront location in a stunning protected bay (Ao Yon). We were lucky enough to have the beachfront villa with its own private verandah which allowed us to lounge outside when it was raining, with the friendly staff happy to bring us cocktails and even serve us our breakfast there. The room itself was spacious and very clean, the day bed was a highlight - again allowing us to feel outside but protected from the rain (we went in low season, it rained a bit but not enough to take away from our enjoyment). The food and drinks at the Cove were a bit expensive but the quality and variety were excellent, the view was phenomenal and the staff were great. Happy hour between 3-6pm made it difficult to leave! Thanks to Fernando and Edina and all their fabulous staff for making our trip one to remember. We’ve stayed in many places throughout Asia and this is one place we couldn’t fault. If you want a secluded boutique getaway then the Cove is for you.

From the service to the food, location I cant say enough about this place. Both Joy and Um were absolutely wonderful and a huge asset to Fernando and his partner. There is something special about having breakfast right on the beach and an evening meal under lights on the beach also. I read some negatives about the tide goes out, please people tides do go out. If you are after a quiet relaxing place then this is for you. If you want to be hounded by people selling you stuff or sit on an overcrowded beach the Patong is for you and its Irish bars not this tranquil little spot.

lovely hotel, beautifully decorated and very good restaurant .staff was very kind and helpful and the manger too. They recommended us places to visit and made things easy for us.it is an small hotel but I would recommend it very much. Fernando the manager was really nice, but everyone.Room was big and also the bathroom. All perfect
