I believe this place deserves a more positive google review. I just spent Easter long weekend there and had a great relaxing time.
Our waterfront studio room was booked via air bnb and it was such a perfect room, clean and well equipped. Its quiet at night time which is exactly we wanted.
Sunset beach is such a perfect spot for anytime of the day. We hired a bike for 25$ a day and went to the surf beach for a swim. The resort has 2 pools to cater all ages, and kayak hire. The restaurant is expensive but serves good quality food. We loved the pizzas from poolside. The staff are very relaxed, friendly and helpful.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Couran Cove.

If you want a resort experience do not go here. This is a mostly abandoned and derelict once resort. It has all of the resort features but only the pool and 1 restaurant are still in tact. There is a very basic Cafe with premade food only and a small games room. The sunset beach bar was only open 4-7pm on Saturday and was just functioning. Most things were old and broken or in disrepair. No help with bags. Booked dinner for my birthday and when we got to the restaurant there was no booking in my name. Very little to do here.
If you want a 3 star relaxing weekend doing nothing, watching TV, sitting by a pool, eating and drinking it is probably good, but they definitely should no longer call this a resort.

Tried calling the "resort" prior to going but no response so took a chance and went over. Bad move! Found that the pool was closed because " we have no water". Can't go over to the island where the pool and bar are because it's gated shut. Food options were very limited and everything was closed by 7.30. Staff was limited but friendly. Too many issues with the Body Corporate to make it a pleasant experience. Such a wasted opportunity for a 1st class resort but I wouldn't bother now😜

There are some pretty negative reviews on here about Couran Cove and to be fair, I don't think people are taking into account the decimation of the industry due to the Pandemic. We enjoyed our 2 night stay and the service and food in the restaurant was fantastic. It would be nice to see the owners invest some money into maintenance around the place and I guess once the International tourists return this will be on the plan. Give the place a break and try and recognise the challenging environment they have been in for the last 2 years. Well done to the staff who try their best to look after their guests ! I'll definitely be back to visit again.

Resort tired but excellent value for the cost. Don’t expect too many bells & whistles as many former services & facilities no longer available. Food/drink is reasonable quality but very expensive so best to bring your own food if you can. Our waterfront apartment was in better condition than I was expecting for the cost and still nice to get away. Staff were all friendly and helpful.
