Fodor's Expert Review Paradise Cove

Located 500 yards away from Cove Beach, this simple complex of huge, reasonably priced studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments has two whirlpools, a large pool, and tranquil tropical gardens where you can pluck fresh guavas for breakfast. The spotless units are appointed with somewhat generic white rattan and natural wicker furniture; gleaming white-tile floors; large kitchens; and new flat-screen TVs, bed linens, and soft-furnishings. Second-floor units have high-beamed ceilings. Maid service and private cooks are available, and the on-site restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Very reasonable seven-night packages include a car. Try for a top-floor unit.
