The Sunset Cove and Rainbow Room

Room smelled musty & lots of ants.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week, and we couldn’t have been happier! First of all, Stephanie and Andrea are wonderful people—so kind and welcoming from the very first moment. Every morning, we enjoyed chatting with them over coffee during breakfast, and they gave us great recommendations on the best beaches and places to visit on the island. The restaurant was open only for breakfast, which was always delicious and plentiful. Our room was small but cozy, perfect for our stay. Highly recommended!

Of all the myriad lodging choices in Eleuthera, I had the good fortune to pick Sunset Cove! Even though I arrived late on a Sunday --and was unable to call Sunset due to Verizon problems-- I'm switching to Consumer Cellular this week, I had so many problems with Verizon-- I was graciously greeted by Stephanie and soon met Andre; two of the most caring and hospitable hosts I've ever encountered in a lifetime of travel! They both went out of their way --in countless ways-- to make sure I my needs were met and my belly and soul satisfied. From patiently answering countless questions about where to eat and shop and visit... to actively helping me with my rudimentary Italian; they seemed to be Made By the God's Above to make my stay on Eleuthera one of the finest of my lifetime. THANK YOU, Andrea and Stephanie, for your kind help and friendship offered in so many ways! With their help I went caving, fishing, diving, surfing, exploring... and packed a month of fun into a (relaxed) week. I've visited perhaps 40+ Bahamanian Islands, and Eleuthera and Sunset Cove has become one of my favorites.

Our stay at The Sunset Cove and Rainbow Room left much to be desired. We arrived just at the end of the check-in hours, which close at 5 PM, only to find that the restaurant was closed for dinner. This was disappointing, especially since they don’t offer breakfast before 8 AM or even a to-go box. There were no snacks or food options available on the property or nearby, and the closest grocery store or restaurant was a 10-15 minute car ride away. The rooms are very outdated, with many things falling apart, clearly in desperate need of renovation. Unfortunately, our room was also dirty, and we even found worms on the floor in the morning. Despite these issues, the AC worked fine, and there was coffee and tea provided in the room. The beach is a 15-minute walk from the property, which was another downside considering the limited amenities on-site. For what it offers, The Sunset Cove and Rainbow Room is very overpriced. There are far nicer hotels with more amenities and closer proximity to the beach available at the same or even lower price.

Nice but missing the amenities Room has been updated and is clean but the room amenities were lacking and poor quality. The towels are super thin and rough, the bath amenities are equivalent to a 1 star hotel (shampoo/conditioner combo bottle, horrible soap bar, no lotion, no tissues, no in room coffee machine, no comforter on the bed & the blanket is worn and pilly). Attention to detail is what makes a hotel memorable and a place to return. The property is isolated from any other restaurants or shops so you are confined to hotel amenities and services. Most Airbnbs & Vbro rentals provide higher quality amenities for a cheaper nightly rate.

Wonderful escape A comfortable jewel. Close to beautiful beach. Attentive, caring management who go out of their way to ensure guests needs are met. Clean rooms and pool. Restaurant serves delicious pizza. A great place to vacation. You may not want to go home. Exceeded all expectations.
