We spent four nights at this resort for our mini-moon and while the waterfront location was stunning, the overall experience left much to be desired. The beautiful views were marred by dated amenities and limited dining options, which unfortunately impacted our stay. The cleanliness and comfort of our room were positives, but the lack of special touches and outdated facilities made us feel like we might explore other options in the future.

Rooms

7.0

Our king lodge room was clean, spacious, and had a lovely ocean view from the patio. However, the furniture felt old and worn, and the mattress was sunken, which made for some uncomfortable nights.

Service

8.0

The staff were personable and friendly, which was a highlight. However, there seemed to be a lack of communication between them and management.

Location

9.0

The resort is beautifully situated on South Pender Island, providing a peaceful escape and picturesque views. However, the limited local dining options, especially on weekdays, were a bit challenging.

Dining

5.0

We didn't find the on-site dining options to be up to par. The pub food was mediocre and the fine dining experience was reportedly not worth the price, which led us to seek better options elsewhere.

Facilities

6.0

The resort offered nice amenities like a pool and hot tub, but they felt rather dated and lacked the ambience that makes for a truly relaxing getaway.

Poet's Cove is set in a truly beautiful location with stunning views, but my stay was marred by cleanliness issues in the cottage and some maintenance concerns, including the pool facilities. While the staff was pleasant, the management's failings were evident, and there are areas in need of serious improvement before I would consider returning.

Rooms

5.0

The cottage we stayed in was dirty upon arrival, with sticky surfaces and a filthy hot tub, though after a cleanup, the difference was noticeable.

Service

5.0

While the management was pleasant and helpful, the process seemed ineffective overall, and the follow-up on cleanliness took longer than expected.

Location

8.0

The resort's location is outstanding, overlooking a beautiful cove, making for a lovely setting. However, it's on the south island, which limits nearby services and food options.

Dining

7.0

Dining at the onsite restaurant offered a lovely variety of foods, and the breakfast buffet was quite nice with a good selection, although I did have a subpar experience with a breakfast bun.

Facilities

5.0

The grounds were beautifully kept, but the lower pool and washroom facilities were in desperate need of cleaning and maintenance, feeling quite disgusting.

I returned to Poets Cove for a girls' weekend and left feeling quite let down. While the original charm was still there, my experience was marred by unfriendly service and cleanliness issues. Our cabin was spacious and had a nice ocean view, which was a plus, but overall, I expected more for the price I paid.

Rooms

5.0

The cabin was spacious and had a lovely ocean view, but cleanliness was a major concern with dusty furniture and unkempt bedding.

Service was lacking, particularly at check-in. It felt like we were bothering the staff rather than being welcomed guests.

Facilities are present, but there seems to be a neglect in maintenance; some amenities weren't in great shape.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort, especially enjoying the stunning view from my balcony. The room was quite spacious, and the comfortable king bed added to the experience. The staff, from the front desk to the restaurants, were incredibly friendly, which made my time there even more pleasant. However, it was disappointing to see that some areas, particularly the carpets, could use a bit of attention. Overall, the value for money was decent considering the experience.

Rooms
