We love the area! It is quiet and very peaceful. The beach and river are amazing! They do need to put some work into the villas as they are very out dated, the patio doors don’t lock properly and the louvered windows are missing glass in some areas. Overall, we had a lovely time!

The cottage was great and the overall property was green and eco friendly. However, the small 'garden' area at the back of the cottage facing the sea, needs attention and maintenance.

Basic but naturally beautiful

Staff are friendly and willing to please. We are vegetarians and the restaurant staff were happy to cook special meals for us. The original cottages that were booked were far apart and the staff helped to change the cottages so our family could be close together. Its nice when staff can customize to make a happy vacation.

This place has certainly gone down hill like a horror movie from the 70s scene dated furniture blood on curtain splatters from misquote swatting along with greece stains the bathroom had rusty facutes with missing cover plates oxidation on the door handles bathroom mixed matched tiles. Great location but this place needs a serious overall bottom line.For a big property like this it should have more amenities such as a pool and decent restaurant

It was a good experience. This property had lots of potential and we are glad we went. However, we knew to expect a less updated version of what it used to be . The villa definitely needs some upgrading. The faucet in the kitchen barely had any water and the whole property needed a good power wash on the outside. The views were amazing but there was lots of overgrown greenery. The privacy was priceless and it was wonderful to have the beach to ourselves in the morning. I was on the understanding that they have been renovatong for a while, but the property doesnot reflect it. Once renovations are actually done we would gladly return. The place has a special magic that we truly appreciated.

Please read this review before booking. The grounds & beach are AMAZING! 10/10 absolutely recommend! The accommodations on the other hand are TERRIBLE! 0/10 do not recommend. I booked the property for the grounds and proximity to the beach. I understand that the villas are rustic but they did NOT provide a basic standard of clean for my stay. If you have respiratory conditions, do NOT book here. They villas are not deep cleaned nor aired out. Customer service is also nonexistent. I expressed my concerns about the cleanliness and they didn’t even attempt to have someone come to clean it. Book another property and pay the entrance fee to access the beach.

The place is beautiful but very old. The villa we stayed in was beautiful but bathrooms weren't the cleanest and there were alot of bugs. I believe for the price I paid the least there could have been is coffee in the room. You give a full kitchen with no plates, glasses or mugs. Kitchen is kind of pointless. I was quite disappointed with the experience considering it was quite expensive.

The gardens and beach access are 10/10. The contract that you sign on entering states that the grill where you can buy food is open until 7:00 pm at 5:00 pm when we tried to order food, they told us they were closed. The literature states that they open quite early in the morning. When we went down at 10:00 am, they told us they would not be open before 12. At 10:00 am there were staff cleaning up plates, cutlery, and plastic bottles from the day before. The food/grill operation has no pride and lacks customer service. We had an issue with the key and the door to our apartment. Thankfully, there was someone on duty who helped us move rooms, and was helpful as was the security on the gate, both did a great job. Frenchman's cove is beautiful, the grounds are beautiful, the rooms and the building are a little tired, with a number of small issues with taps, door handles, railings that got stuck. The operational staff were all helpful and friendly. The grill operation on the beach was not so much unfriendly, non-cooperative, and really not that caring about their environment, other than to make a few cosmetic fixes after guests had already arrived on the beach from the day before' s litter.
