We have just returned from Kenya, where we spent one week on safari in Amboseli/Masai Mara and the second week on the coast at the Cove Retreat. We had the most wonderful experience, a real once in a lifetime trip. Both the safari and the Cove where deserted due to the troubles that Kenya has recently been having!!! We saw... more

We stayed in The Cove for seven nights for our honeymoon. We found it extremely relaxing and laid back, at times a little too laid back! Akuna-matata! The staff were lovely, but one day we were sitting at the pool side and Stephanie the manager started shouting at the staff about working harder in front of everyone! The staff there... more

We got married at The Cove in October 07 and i have to say it was the most perfect day! We met up with Stephanie just the day before and discussed food/cake decoration and where on the beach we wanted to get married. NO stress involved with these wedding preparations! It took all of about 30 mins to arrange! (the... more

We stayed at The Cove for a total of 11 nights. We arrived midday on the 11th December having flown overnight from Gatwick to Mombasa. We were both tired and my husband-to-be was asleep in the back of our private transport to the The Cove. He was soon woken up when we exited Diani and the road suddenly ran out... more

What an absolute joy to have experienced the Cove Retreat. This is a peaceful, high service retreat with 6 tree houses, private beach and wonderful surroundings. We had 7 nights at the end of our honeymoon. The service is great, friendly and we felt very privileged to be there. The locals on the beach were great- make sure you go... more

My new husband and I stayed at The Cove in September. After being on safari we were looking forward to relaxing for a few days before we had to return home. I couldn't help feeling smug as we dropped off the other tourists on our bus at their large resorts knowing that where they were staying could be anywhere in... more

Something a bit different from the packaged experience further up at coast at Diani/Malindi. The treehouses are fantastic with acres of space and very comfortable. The other accommodation is set back from the sea and very much second best. The food was good if not fantastic. The small number of guests and staff mean you get to know pretty much.... more

My wife and I stayed here both prior to and post Safari, for our Ruby Anniversary. We stayed each time in a Treehouse, No 1 first which is seafront and then No 4 a garden location, though still with a sea view. As already stated there are no distractions at this Hotel, no music, clocks, Telephones or T.Vs so you... more

We stayed at The Cove for two weeks in July for our honeymoon and we had a fantastic time. The service was excellent and the views are amazing. We stayed in a TreeHouse and whilst the sem-outside bathroom may get some little visitors of the bug and lizard variety, the main bedroom is fully enclosed with air conditioning - something... more
