We really enjoyed our stay at Paradise Cove though we did experience some frustrations hence our rating of good rather than excellent. There are four eating options in the resort and we generally found the food to be very good though we were disappointed with the breakfast buffet - the food was not to the quality that we had experienced elsewhere during our stays in Africa - no chili with omelettes, tough bacon and thick bread for toast. But we had excellent meals at the Peninsular and XO (Japanese cuisine) and I would encourage visitors to attend those restaurants rather than the main one.
Service fluctuated somewhat. It was generally good, and the staff were generally friendly but from time to time you could find yourself waiting for extended periods to order drinks or food, whilst staff chatted at the bar; or encounter a staff member who wasn't in their best mood.
The resort has a number of included activities; and we found the included drinks under the all-inclusive option to be high quality. The room was fantastic; the music, different every night, was really good; and the overall design of the property with multiple options (restaurants, pools, sunbed areas, etc) was superb.
