We were in a group of 8 people for a week. The house is amazing and huge (including the pool house). Location a bit isolated if you need to go to a larger supermarket, but meh. Per the other comments the staff make this. Every day Wayan would ask what we wanted she would say her usual happy "ok" and it would just happen, including a birthday dinner. For the birthday, returning to the house the bath was full of flower petals and the bed was decorated, which was quite special, and did bring a tear to the eye of more than one of us. Pool is lovely and has shade from the trees. The ocean beach is a bit rough for kids to swim, but around the next beach is OK. The plastic on the shore is really upsetting and a wake-up to us all, but that is not the fault of The Cove. If you stay there, you will talk about it for years to come.
