The beach at French Man Cove us beautiful, and can visited by purchasing a pass for the day. I'd highly recommend this rather than staying at the hotel. The hotel is old, dilapidated in places and very dark at night. The kettle in the room produced very dirty water on first use, so was not used again. The AC unit outside is noisy, and leaks water onto the balcony. There is wooden block stick provided to secure the balcony door, as I assume locks don't work. The beds within the rooms are very small, particularly length wise. Returning from the beach after sunset is a very dark walk, with very few lights leading to the rooms. Security staff and the lifeguards were helpful, however beach bar staff (which is the only place to access food on site as the kitchen is unavailable due to renovations) were slow to assist and rarely ventured onto the beach to take orders/assist. Guests of the hotel are required to pay for beach chairs, the same as visitors to the beach.

We love the area! It is quiet and very peaceful. The beach and river are amazing! They do need to put some work into the villas as they are very out dated, the patio doors don’t lock properly and the louvered windows are missing glass in some areas. Overall, we had a lovely time!

Frenchman’s is simply a beautiful property, and we will certainly be visiting again. The room needs a bit of TLC, but that pales in comparison to the atmosphere is offers.

The cottage was great and the overall property was green and eco friendly. However, the small 'garden' area at the back of the cottage facing the sea, needs attention and maintenance.

Basic but naturally beautiful

Staff are friendly and willing to please. We are vegetarians and the restaurant staff were happy to cook special meals for us. The original cottages that were booked were far apart and the staff helped to change the cottages so our family could be close together. Its nice when staff can customize to make a happy vacation.
