What the reviews tell us
Cocktails are fairly priced for non-all-inclusive guests at approximately €8–12 per drink, with bars offering diverse selections of cocktails, rum, wine, and beer.
The Cove restaurant requires extra payment beyond standard rates, and its specialty lobster menu—while enjoyable—does not clearly justify the upcharge compared to all-inclusive dining options.
Premium and branded alcohol incurs significant additional costs despite high overall trip costs (£8,000+ for 11 nights), creating value perception issues for premium-paying guests.
Wine and beer selection was described as slightly disappointing, suggesting gaps in variety or quality at certain tiers.
Paradise Cove's food and beverage pricing presents a nuanced picture tied to package choice and selection tier. For guests without all-inclusive packages, cocktails are positioned as competitively priced at approximately €8–12, with bars offering a strong range of options. However, specialty dining presents a more complicated value proposition. The Cove restaurant requires separate payment beyond the base rate, and while its lobster menu is described as enjoyable, reviewers questioned whether the upcharge justified the quality relative to all-inclusive offerings. Premium beverages—branded alcohol and higher-quality wines—carry additional costs that generated frustration, particularly from guests paying premium rates (upwards of £8,000 for 11 nights with flights) who expected broader complimentary access. Wine and beer selection more broadly drew some mild disappointment. The presence of an all-inclusive option suggests tiered pricing, meaning guest experience and perceived fairness depend heavily on which package was selected at booking.
Premium pricing perception vs. complementary beverage scope
Guests paying premium all-inclusive rates (£8,000+) and receiving cocktails priced reasonably at €8–12 still express frustration that branded alcohol and premium wines require additional payment. This suggests the hotel's positioning of "fair prices" may conflict with guest expectations at the luxury price point; what is fair for à la carte diners may feel restrictive to all-inclusive guests accustomed to broader complimentary access at comparable resorts. The lobster menu receives praise for quality but skepticism about value, indicating that even specialty offerings may not align with guest expectations relative to price paid.
The evidence
Both sides shown — including dissenting reviewsIf you have opted against the all-inclusive package, you can expect cocktails with a fair price-performance ratio (approx. €8 - €12)
Fantastic choice of different Cocktails, rum, wine, beer
We also tried The Cove's lobster menu. While it was very enjoyable, we weren't entirely convinced it was worth the extra cost above the All Inclusive options
The only cons relate to its location on the island and the wine/beer selection
