Calabash Cove

Tamara Wyzanski

Came here for our baby moon in 2023 (January 1-8). Very pleased with customer care after we complained our room had no hot water we got upgraded to a room with a private little pool. The food and service was excellent. Loved the private little beach and also the pool and gym were nice. We rented a car and often went out for dinners and other things at night. We also drove to the other side of the island one day. Overall- gorgeous hotel and would highly recommend.

While planning for our anniversary getaway, Calabash Cove stood out for its great reviews, so our expectations were high coming in - and our expectations were met or exceeded in every way. It is the ideal resort for people who are looking for a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. We really liked having the bed and breakfast package as a more budget-friendly option instead of all-inclusive. If you don't plan to drink a lot of booze, or if you want to eat off-resort, it's a great choice. But there's no need to eat anywhere else, because the restaurant was outstanding. Every meal was delicious, and there was plenty of variety with the daily specials. The live music every night was fun and added to the experience. The restaurant would benefit from some ceiling fans to make dining a little more comfortable in the evening when the wind dies down. We stayed in Cottage 1, which is at the northern end of the property and provides total privacy, surrounded by lush vegetation and away from walking paths. The plunge pool and outdoor shower were highlights. The cottage's lounge area, where the TV is located, is not air conditioned. There is a ceiling fan, but it's really too small for the space - I recommend that they upgrade to larger fans. Everyone on the staff was friendly and helpful - particularly Travis, who made our anniversary dinner in the gazebo very special. The little touches impressed us, like the glasses of rum punch at our arrival, and the complimentary bottle of champagne and special decorations in our room for our anniversary. The couple's massage at our cottage was wonderful. The landscaping was gorgeous, and the beach area was well maintained with plenty of seating and hammocks. We enjoyed using the kayaks and snorkeling gear - there's a good snorkeling area on the north end of the beach area that is more rocky than right in front of the beach where we saw a variety of colorful fish and sea urchins. If we ever return to St. Lucia, we would absolutely stay at Calabash Cove again.

An absolutely beautiful place, though I was disappointed by the noise. Some locals came with backpacks from nowhere and were shouting on the beach. It’s normally very peaceful. UPDATE: Thank you for your response. I fully understand that beaches are public throughout the British Commonwealth, and I respect that. My concern, however, was not public access to the beach itself, but the fact that we paid for a day pass expecting a quiet, relaxing resort experience, which unfortunately was disrupted by loud noise, smoking, and disruptive behavior within the resort area. I appreciate that you are looking into this and hope future guests who pay for day access can enjoy the atmosphere that Calabash Cove is known for.

Wonderful resort!! We spent 5 days at Calabash Cove for our honeymoon. We stayed in a pool walk-out room and it was so quiet and wonderful to be able to just walk out to the pool. The staff was wonderful and helpful, and gave great suggestions of things to do around the island! The front desk was able to schedule transportation for us; you can't walk anywhere from the resort so you'll always be at least a 15 minute drive from things. However, the resort has a lot to do! Kayaks, paddle boards, anchored floating things in the ocean to relax on, pool, spa, boat rides, etc. the food was also delicious. it felt like most of the guests at the resort we're also recently married couples like us! They even have a library full of books to borrow! Can't recommend calabash cove enough for a nice, relaxing week!

We had arrived from a LONG day of traveling and we were greeted with a smile and a wet towel. When checking in Karen heard us talking about how hungry we were and they grabbed us some plaintain chips and beer, very sweet. She walked us to our room down quite a few stairs which is completely fine (I only mention stairs if you prefer elevators and no stairs). I’m a travel agent and had mentioned it was our anniversary so when we got in the room they had decorated with balloons and a bottle of champagne. Again, very sweet. Our view was amazing and this place has very many great views. We were able to splurge on a swim up suite which was well worth it. We had room 101 one which as someone else had mentioned that sometimes in the morning it can be loud because it must be below the kitchen. Dinner was disappointing, bland, but my banana flambé for dessert made up for it. One of the best desserts I’ve ever had! First night much like the rest we slept like babies. It’s a very quiet resort. We went in late June so not their busiest time anyway. My husband loved how quiet and peaceful it was. We met a few younger couples there on their honeymoon not just older couples. Breakfast took a while the first day but not the rest of the stay. Not uncommon as we learned eating other places. We had the pleasure of meeting Kevin at the front desk/concierge who has a big smile and personality. Most of the time the staff can make or break you, they’re making it for this place! Jachiome (pronounced Jaoquin) at the bar is easy on the eyes and great to talk to! Ladies he’s single haha Small private beach was heavenly and no need to fight for a cabana! There are 3 down there. There’s also kayaks, paddle boards and these little floaters you can hang out in. They keep the beach clean. Only negatives was the toilet would run constantly so we flushed it taking the back cover off lol The bathroom floor was always wet too but not sure where the water was coming from, it wasn’t the toilet. The loud kitchen banging in the morning and the food was mediocre. For us, these are small things because nothing is perfect. We had a great time and thank you again to the staff!
