Fishermans Cove Resort

Beneath the traditional palm-thatched roof all is spacious and airy, with two restaurants (Le Cardinal, which holds themed evenings, and Le Bourgeois, the á la carte option). The Cocolaba Bar is in the main building; the Sunset Bar is beachfront and serves drinks and complimentary tea and coffee with home-made pastries in the afternoon. There's a pool, a tennis court, the spa and wi-fi throughout. Getting married? This is a good spot!

The 70 rooms and suites at Fisherman's Cove are decorated in contemporary Creole style. Each is spacious and open plan, with a private sea-facing terrace or balcony with seating in which to doze. The bathroom area is huge, with a freestanding bath and shower. Everything you need has been thoughtfully provided, from an iron to dressing gowns and scales (we don't advise using these – the meals are plentiful and very, very good!). Beach towels are provided every day.

Feeling active? Have a game of tennis, explore the coastline in a canoe or go snorkelling. Waterskiing, parasailing, diving and deep-sea fishing can be arranged at a charge. If you're longing for quiet time, sunbathe on the beach or at the pool, take a long walk along the sand, have a spa treatment, treat yourself at the boutique or simply relax on your terrace and gaze at the gardens and the view.
