I would rent a car next time because all the cab fares added up. Overall the week was wonderful and I'm looking forward to using my unit once a year. E-mail me with any specific questions.Sally
We will arrive 5/5 for 2 weeks and have been watching the weather forcast and it constantly shows showers. How was it? Did you notice the BBQ's and is there a fitness room, if so what equipment? I understand the hotel has a big fitness room, been there?

We were there the first week of April. I think like most Caribbean islands there is a chance of rain everyday. A few days looked like it would rain but it really only rained one day for a little while in the morning. As I mentioned earlier there was one BBQ grill down by the pool which we used one night, it is your standard home back deck grill. The fitness center at the Cove was small, basically 2 treadmills and an elliptical if I recall correctly (appeared high quality equipment). There is a large fitness room with weights, machines, etc over at the Hotel which we observed through the windows. The Cove is supposed to have a bigger better equipped room once the new building near the pool opens which I think is slated for June 1st or so.
Thanks for the info Sally, that helps. I'll let my husband know, he will probably opt to take the trek up the hill to the larger fitness room while I'm taking my morning walk, any good areas to walk there? Are you the one that mentioned there are no trees for shade around the pool, do thay at least have umbrellas?
The count down is on only 7 days left!! Our California tans are ready for the Caribbean!
Hi Ruth, Sorry that was Rob that replied there, I forgot to sign the resposne (but I'll give Sally the credit). Walking is a little tougher as it very hilly. I'd also suggest taking the shuttle over to the hotel (just call the lobby when you want it and they will page it). The shade is somewhat limited at the pool, there are some umbrellas and also some palm trees that do give some shade. In addition there are some palm trees on the beach which can give some shade. The pool is more shady in the morning as the resort generally faces west so later in the day the sun would be in your face as you look out over the water.
