- "A truly special place, Paradise Cove isn't paradise because it's the most perfect or the most luxurious of resorts - instead, what makes it paradise are a combination of the beautiful surroundings, the amazing staff and the incredible food. When you put it all together you get a place which is both gorgeous and 'real'; which allows you to truly relax and holiday in a way you want to. There are plenty of places to sit - two pools, the beach and plenty of cabanas facing the sea and cove. Our favourites were the cabanas on the far side of the peninsula with an uninterrupted view of the bluest sea. Being in Michael's area for service was always amazing - he's a true gem. The resort never seems too busy and you can always get a spot where you need it (in the shade, in my case!). The Cove itself was not as sparkly and blue as the sea despite the team's attempts to clean it daily, so we preferred to swim the other side of the peninsula, but this did not detract from our experience at all. The food was exceptional. We also ate at The Cove and XO, as well as the buffets and Peninsula. I've never seen anything like the Christmas Day buffet - Kevin, the pastry chef, had been cooking for 2 full days apparently and it showed. He's the one responsible for the fully edible chocolate Christmas trees in our rooms which the previous reviewer talked about. Incredible attention to detail. We particularly enjoyed Peninsula for lunch. I had two massages and a scrub at the spa which were gorgeous. The staff there were beyond lovely and it was a real haven. The gym is also very well equipped with two treadmills, two spin bikes, a rower, cross trainer and full sets of weights and weight machines. We used it quite a few times. There is a pool table, dart board and board games, as well as a well-stocked book shelf. We had a lot of fun in the evenings after dinner."
