I don't know where to start. I stayed at the Cove for 2 weeks and can only rave about it. The service, the staff are incredibly attentive and know how to do their job very professionally. The room service, and I would like to mention Sabhir in particular, is one of the reasons why we were happy to stay in the room and relax. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and appreciate your hard work. I don't even want to talk about the restaurant. There is so much choice of different dishes and cuisines, from Asian, Italian, Mediterranean, German and Arabic, there is everything your heart desires. I would like to say a big thank you to Ibrahim the waiter, Kareem the head waiter, the ladies Pallavhi, Rochelle, Sherly and definitely Hedra. You spoilt us so much over the two weeks that we are sad to leave you. Ibrahim should definitely be given a chance in the management, even if he still seems a bit childish, he has proven time and again that he is also authoritative towards the trainees and remains very professional. Pallavhi and Sherly always have a smile on their faces, despite some guests who really make it difficult sometimes. My greatest respect. Hedra is also the good soul of the restaurant and very trustworthy, many fellow testers turn to him. Read less
