A honeymoon vacation in Barbados sounds like an attractive option especially to eascape the chill of Northern Europe, and you are almost spoilt for choice. One of the oldest established famous hotels which has a kind of old fashioned class to it is the Cobblers Cove Hotel. It is an all suite hotel with very spacious accommodation, and the main building has a lovely old colonial style to it, added to it by its colour being pink.



The rooms have rattan furniture, lovely terracotta and attractive cooling cottons, with all the amenities you might expect from a hotel that is a member of the distinguished Relai and Chateaux Group. They each have either large balcony or terrace, with a dressing area, and a large bathroom adorned with every quality English toiletry you could wish for. There are 40 elegant suites in eleven Spanish style buildings on two floors, with the deluxe suites being closer to the beach.

To keep the hotel up to date a number of suites are completely redecorated each year. If you really feel like pushing the boat out for your honeymoon vacation, then there are two enormous penthouse suites on the rooftop of the original house, each with its own pool and incredible views of the beach and the garden, not to mention a four poster bed, very honeymoon vacation romantic too.

The Cobblers Cove Hotel is situated on St Peter's Beach on the west coast of Barbados, and is around 30 minutes from Bridgetown. There are a number of complimentary sports including water skiing and tennis. The restaurant is the Terrace restaurant with an open air dining room overlooking the water, and the very refined fare is well received by the guests, in fact raved about might be a more accurate description. One of the nice English charms at the Cobblers Cove Hotel is the complimentary afternoon tea.

Although the Cobblers Cove Hotel is only graded four star, don't let that sway your decision because the whole atmosphere is that of an elegant secluded five star, with a very relaxed and classy feel to it. There is something very gracious about the ambience, part of which comes from the history of the main building, and another from the traditional English style courtesy with which you are made welcome.

Another reason for the way that guests seem to love Cobblers Cove so much, and return year after year is perhaps the fact that many of them are English, and there is more than a hint of the traditional and almost forgotten tradition of the English House Party.

If you are thinking of Cobblers Cove for a honeymoon vacation, there is no doubt you would feel very relaxed here, and then when you wanted to spread your wings a little there are plenty of restaurants nearby, and action in the west coast bars and discos. You may find the other guests somewhat middle aged, but that in fact all adds to the charm of the place, and you will quickly realise your privacy will not be intruded upon.
