The Cove Activities and Recreation

Activities and Recreation at The Cove

An extensive selection of active pursuits isn't necessarily needed to create the perfect vacation. While some vacationers would prefer a resort with a lot of recreational activities available, others are perfectly content with one or two active recreational options, since their top priority is just to relax. While the hotel doesn't have an extensive array of active recreational amenities the Cove may have everything you need.

Water and Fitness

Because the hotel offers an on-site swimming pool, guests will find plenty of opportunities to stay cool while lounging in the sun. Although spending a day at the poolside may be the ideal way to relax, you might also enjoy a few refreshing laps before breakfast.

Tennis

This hotel is a particularly good choice if tennis tops your vacation wish list. You shouldn't have difficulty getting a court to use, because there are 28 guest rooms and 2 courts available. This averages out to just 34 guests per court, which is quite good, compared to other hotels in the Caribbean. The hotel doesn't offer a lit court, so you'll have to schedule your tennis matches during the daylight hours,

If you really have a passion for the game, you may want to compare this hotel to others that have tennis courts – particularly those with high ratings for tennis. Other hotels that may be worth considering include Pink Sands Hotel and Romora Bay Hotel.
