Reviews
Wonderful Island holiday
11th Jul 2017
Our family of 4 loved Musket Cove. It is a great sized resort - not too big or too small. The food was excellent and we loved having the option of buying rotiserrie chickens and bread/other supplies from the little supermarket if we wanted to make our own sandwiches etc. The snorkelling at the sand bar was perfect with the kids as the water was calm and there were many fish. We also enjoyed some walks around the island which had amazing views. Although the beach is tidal, the mud flats at low tide were great fun for the kids as they could wander around and see starfish & crabs. We stayed in a garden villa which had 2BR and 2 bathrooms. It was spacious and was well serviced daily. The villa was closely located to the pool/main restaurant and was surrounded by large grassy area. The staff are always friendly and you can't help but relax. The free wifi in the restaurants is sporadic so we chose to disconnect from the world for the week. Bliss!

Place was great especially if staying in the Beachfront Bures. Comfy beds. Staff were all outstanding, went over and above what they needed to do.

This was our 6th stay at Musket Cove Resort (1st in 1991) and it gets better every time! The food offerings are improving a lot but still need to refine the delivery.
