Frenchman's Cove Resort

Insbesondere die Bucht und der Strand sind traumhaft schön.

My husband and I stayed in a 1 BR ocean view villa at Frenchman’s Cove Beach Resort. The views from the villa were spectacular. The villa was very spacious, however we couldn’t enjoy the space because there was only 1 ac unit and it was located in the bedroom. Whenever we showered, we would be sweating before we could get out of the bathroom. The villa is poorly maintained. The bathroom door knob was falling off and does not close. The kitchen sink had caked on grime as if it hadn’t been cleaned in years. The toilet had stains from not being washed. I wore my flip flops in the shower because of the unsanitary conditions throughout the villa. Thankfully, we had only booked a 1 night stay. We went to Frenchman’s Cove Beach in the morning before check out and the beach was beautiful. My husband was taking a shower after returning from the beach, when he felt something crawling on his arm. He was washing his hair so his eyes were closed. His immediate reaction was to brush his arm. When he brushed his arm, he immediately felt something wiggle underneath his foot. At this point he opened his eyes and saw that it was a huge cockroach that had been crawling on him, and that he also just stepped on. I was in the bedroom and I heard him gasp in horror. Unfortunately, the nightmare did not end there. As we were removing our belongings from the villa, we were once again horrified by several huge cockroaches hiding behind our suit bag that was hanging on the wall in the bedroom!

Very run down and dilapidated.

The grounds were exceptional!! Beautiful, lush, vegetation and majestic mature trees. We enjoyed the bird songs in the morning. It is an easy walk to the pristine river/cove where the fresh water from the river meets the salt water of the ocean. The setting is serene. It allows you to be with your thoughts and could be a good place to write a book. The rooms, though spacious and habitable are in dire need of renovations. With renovations, Frenchman's Cove could be more than a Five Star hotel!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel obligated to warn other travelers especially families with young children. The cleanliness of the villa was unacceptable. There was heavy dust buildup behind curtains and throughout the rooms, the bathrooms were in very poor condition, and there appeared to be bug or rodent droppings in multiple areas. The property is clearly aging, which I could have overlooked if it had at least been properly maintained and cleaned. What was most disappointing was the misleading setup of the “3-bedroom sea view villa.” The rooms are actually separated and not fully connected, which was never clearly disclosed in the listing. Traveling with my four-year-old, two-year-old, and 12-year-old, this setup was completely inappropriate and created unnecessary stress and safety concerns for my family. To make matters worse, we specifically booked this property for beach access, only to be informed after our arrival that the beach would be closed on Saturday for a private event. The scenery itself is beautiful, but overall the stay was absolutely not worth the money paid. Between the poor cleanliness, misleading accommodation layout, and lack of transparency regarding amenities, I would not recommend staying here in its current condition.
