I have never done a review but this place made me want to leave one. My wife and I spent our honeymoon here for 7 days and loved every second of it. If you are wanting a quiet, relaxing, and romantic vacation you have to come here. It is obvious that the resort is gorgeous but I want to talk about the staff. The whole entire staff is amazing, in the 7 days here I left feeling like I’ve known them for years. When we first got to the resort we had an issue regarding the villas and the manager of the resort, Mrs Alex made sure that she did everything in her power to give us the honeymoon of our dreams. She genuinely cared if we had a great time. Troy, the manager of the lighthouse restaurant was outstanding. He was so fun but so professional at the same time, truly was fine dining. We would look forward to seeing Troy every night because he’s the man! The food that they make at this restaurant is the best food that my wife and I have ever had. You would never think an all inclusive resort would have true 5 star dining. Leon, our ambassador was the nicest, most respectful, attentive, and fun guy ever. REQUEST HIM. Tevon, the water sports attendant, is awesome. First day he taught me how to use the hobie cat sail boat and after a 20 minute lesson from him I was sailing around the cove all week by myself. He is awesome and truly wants to teach people new things that they might not have access too back home! The other water sports attendant, can’t remember his name but he was amazing too. Jayden, Chelsea, and Zachri who are 3 of the beach/pool servers were amazing and made sure we were always taken care of. They were so good to us and so hard working in the crazy heat.
It is obvious that this resort is gorgeous and everything you dream of in a vacation. But I think the staff is what truly makes a place special and they did exactly that for us. We want to go back just to see all of them again!
Tell all of them Collin & Bailie from Jacksonville said hi when you go!

Amazing! The three Ambassadors provided a very unique, welcomed, and refreshing level of service. Kenya, Darrel, and Leon are all rockstars! This was an amazing experience and the entire Hammock Cove team delivered a remarkably positive experience which directly contributed to the success of the vacation. Highly recommend!!

Loved this resort !! My husband and I came here to celebrate our two year anniversary and we had the best time ! The only reason why I didn’t give this resort 5 stars is because I was expecting more hammocks around the property and I was hoping the pool was heated. We also had a slight hiccup with our gazebo dinner where it was missing a course and our chef wasn’t made aware of us not eating pork and was brought out a pork dish. The resort did offer a discount which was fine! Also we booked the boat tour, but the staff wasn’t made aware of us coming till we got there at 8:45 so they had to quickly make us lunch which also ended up having pork and we weren’t able to eat. Overall
The beach is absolutely beautiful! The staff was 10/10! The light house restaurant was right across our villa and the food was
Spectacular!! We were a 3 minute walk from devils bridge so that was amazing to see! The property so beautiful and well kept! There is also water sports available on the property!! Loved this resort ! And would return with the family! Oh our room also had the best bathroom!!! The shower was huge and they had a wonderful vanity so I could get ready.
We also loved the game room and rum
Tasting bar which had some great games to play after our evening was over! NOT
TO MENTION THE SPA is to die for, Marilyn and Elizabeth gave me and my husband a massage one day, a wrap a massage a facial, a scrub, head massage the next, and a 90
Minute the following day !! To say the least we loved their expertise in massage skills!!

ELIZABETH STACHTIARIS
We had an amazing stay at Hammock Cove. We stayed 9 days, 8 nights. It's definitely on the pricier side with the inclusive fee, but we loved our stay. This property boasts 40-something villas each with private plunge pools. There are two types: waterfront (closest to the water) and waterview. There is food availability 24/7 and room service. There are 2 restaurants and several bars. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. There is wifi throughout the resort.
Everyday, we would hit the gym, have room-service breakfast, use some type of water feature (main pool, beach, private villa plunge pool), play pickleball, and eat dinner. One day we did one excursion: the stingray and tortoise encounters. There are others we did not do, like the jeep safaris, calypso cat boat charters, etc.
GYM
The gym is one of the best gyms we've ever been to at a vacation resort. All the equipment is new. There are machines for chest, back, legs, arms, free weights, benches, a cable machine, treadmills, bikes, and a rower. We used the gym every morning. It's air conditioned. Plenty of water and towels. It's next to the Spa, which we didn't use, but has a lot of treatments, such as facials and massages. It's also next to the gift shop, which we also did not use.
Beach
The beach is very beautiful. At first it seems small, but there is plenty of room and never felt busy even though the hotel was quite full (likely since a lot of guests use the main pool and private villa pools). The ones who work on the beach are super nice and make sure you have water as well as drinks or food brought to your beach chairs. Julio is the absolute best!!!! What a hard worker, we loved him; he was always so cheerful and nice. Also great are Tashawna, Natalia, Chelsea, Eric, Tevin, Nashila, Hector, and others whose names I am forgetting (I apologize, but everyone was great!). They also service the main pool area and make sure you have water, food and drinks to order.Activities include taking a ride on the hobie cat, kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, lounging on a circular raft (your drinks can be brought to you on the water!!), swimming, snorkeling.The beach also does some food activities at noon, such as oysters & bubbles, caviar & bubbles, seafood grill, BBQ, and others.
Pool
The main pool is a 3-tier infinity pool with several areas to lounge in. Plenty of towels. The water is so refreshing and the view is spectacular. The aforementioned individuals service the pool too. The pool itself is just stunning
PickleballThere are 2 pickleball courts. We would play around 5 pm when the sun would not touch the courts. It was definitely a fun time.
Cons
Our room looked directly at the Verandah, the sister property. I presume the better view is near the Hammock Cove beach or closer to the Devil's Bridge area. Sometimes the Verandah had loud music at night. In between the 2 facilities, there is construction ongoing, which was loud during the day.I would have liked more snacks/foods for the minibar rather than just nuts. We have stayed at other similar resorts such as Nayara in Costa Rica which has similar villas and had a ton of snacks. However, Nayara isn't all-inclusive so I guess the upside is you can always order a light bite to the room at Hammock Cove.
Overall: will go back!
