The Relais &Chateaux Cobblers Cove hotel in Barbados has debuted a range of improvements, including a new look for the property’s main pool.

The 40-room Cobblers Cove’s main pool has been refurbished with a Hawaiian-Blue, Diamond-Brite finish, and the resort’s original plantation house, which was built in 1930, has undergone a “thorough redecoration.”

Four Ocean Front and seven Garden suites have been redecorated, part of a programme that launched in August 2012, with more to be redecorated in 2013.

We are extremely excited about the refurbishments at Cobblers Cove,” said General Manager Alistair Forrest. “The end result is an enhancement to the guest experience and we look forward to sharing it with our returning guests, as well as our first-timers.”

Forrest is among several new staff at the hotel, including Executive Chef Michael Harrison, Resident Manager Scarlette Clarke and Online Sales and Marketing Executive Jine Scheper.
