    Charged to much for late check out.

    Stayed before departing on a dive trip. The staff very friendly. Comfortable rooms. Had a later checkout. They charged 30% of the room rate for 3pm check out instead of noon. Thought that was a little expensive especially since the hotel was not full at all. Break fast had plenty of protein and omelettes made to order.

    Great location on the water, especially if you’re going on boat tours. The rooms were comfortable and clean with cold air conditioning. The grounds were beautiful. It’s near the drop off restaurant/bar. The hotel manager, Kazuo Osada, was friendly, helpful and accommodating when I asked for assistance.

    Our room 19 had a large and very obvious stain in the carpet that took away from our impression of the facility. The carpet needs to be replaced as soon as possible to give guests a better first impression and that you are keeping up with repairs

    Great staff, great facility, great location!

    Breakfast was okay, but most of the food was not hot due to being a buffet style. The place needs a bit of an upgrade.

    Cath at the front desk was awesome, and the beds were very comfortable. Pool was very nice.

    As a fitness buff, I was a bit disappointed in the gym. It would be helpful to add wifi and an elliptical that works. When I arrived, the treadmills were missing; however, a brand new one was added mid-week. There is no beach access at The Cove, but the pool is lovely and Sam's Tours is a quick walk away.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Cove Resort, and I must say, it was a lovely experience. From the moment I stepped foot on the property, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating, ensuring that my stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

    Breakfast could be better. No lunch and no room service was rather disappointing. However The Hungry Marlin and The Drop Off Bar and Grill right next door did the trick.

    Spacious clean room and bathroom. Comfortable bedding.

    For the pricing, I expect better conditions. Room was clean but contained ants. Poolside room was exposed to loud beats of base heavy music until 9 pm. Power cut out briefly several times in one afternnoon. Restaurant was out of many items.

    Staff was friendly and professional. Location was great and close to the marina. Pool was nice.

    There was no elevator so I left my heavy scuba gear bags in the lobby. I had to go up and down doing a little be of re-packing, but it all worked out in the end.

    I was just at the Cove for a "day room" . I disembarked from the Palau Aggressor at 8 am and left for the airport at 11 pm.

    From the moment I booked, the reservations team excelled, from arranging transfers and late check out, Kath even knew what time I needed to be at the airport for my return flight. Once I arrived was made feel a valued customer, always cheerful and asking if there is anything else I needed. Room was lovely, comfortable bed with a great view.
