Calabash Cove is NOT for Families

Yes it's true we don't take children at any time of the year, so if you are looking for a family vacation in the Caribbean, cross us off your list.


It's not because we don't like kids, it is because the majority of our guests over the years have said they prefer a kid free zone. It creates an atmosphere of calm and the ability to rest and relax properly. Difficult to achieve with children running and jumping and shrieking by the pool.


We find this policy serves us well and as we are a 26 roomed boutique resort, for us and our guests it's perfect.

If you want endless choices of restaurants don't book us.

By saying already we are a small boutique resort, I guess it's obvious that we don't have those things, however you'd be surprised how many people miss that and then are dissappointed with what we have. Our Windsong Restaurant and our Poolside lunch venue, have extensive menus serving superb food. We are also noted for our varied Vegan menu.

Are you really OK paying all kinds of supplements over and above your All-Inclusive Rate?

If you are then fine but we don't do that. We don't charge extra for room service and there are zero supplements on our menus. If Lobster is in season then it's included.


We give you a full wet bar in your room, not just a few beers, cokes and a bottle of wine. You get a range of Spirits and Mixers, wines, beers and soft drinks.


We call it the "UNCONDITIONAL ALL-INCLUSIVE"

Are you wondering where the disco/nightclub is? Don't waste time looking; we don't have one.

Calabash Cove guests range in age on average from mid thirties to seventies, but they all have one thing in common. They come here to rest becasue many have stressful jobs and circumstances. They want to catch up on some reading, get a massage or a facial and take dinner looking out over a moonlit seascape.


So when looking for extensive night life, try IBIZA!!

Want a busy beach with Jet Skis for Rent?

Not here I'm afraid. Our beach is a pristine, relatively small beach and never crowded. It goes with the territory by being peaceful and without Jet Skis!

Why Couples Choose to Have All-Inclusive Destination Weddings What makes all-inclusive destination weddings so popular? A survey of 1,460 members of the Knot Wedding Network showed some interesting trends when they provided answers to some key questions about their wedding. The results from this 2014 survey showed an interesting trend. For example, almost one in four couples (24%) of those surveyed chose to have a destination wedding rather than a traditional ceremony in their home town. Of these, 45% of the weddings were in an international destination and 60% were a significant distance from where the couple lived at the time of their wedding. Fast forward to 2024/5 and we see that destination weddings have become increasingly popular among U.S. couples in recent years. As of 2024, approximately 25% of all U.S. weddings were destination weddings, with about half of these taking place internationally. The global destination wedding market has seen significant growth, expanding from $21.31 billion in 2022 to $28.31 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $78.89 billion by 2027. Popular international destinations for U.S. couples include Mexico, the Caribbean, and various European countries. Mexico remains a top choice due to its proximity and diverse venue options. The average cost of a destination wedding in 2023 was $41,000, compared to $35,000 for traditional weddings. Factors contributing to the higher cost include travel expenses, accommodations, and the tendency to hire wedding planners for remote coordination. The driving factor for couples being prepared to go the extra mile, is simply the attraction of a memorable experience.

OK so you might think we are a bit late with this Pudding Recipe, however, most of you would have had your pudding under wraps when Chef came up with this new recipe. Since the fruit needs to soak in rum for several months, you need to start planning.
