Spent a few hours one afternoon just hanging out for drinks and lunch… SERVICE was incredible. Lorin was our waitress and she was very attentive and punctual. Beautiful vibe and atmosphere looking over the water and watching the boats go by
Came for dinner, and it was great! Lauren was awesome! Happy hour…even on Sunday (!) was fantastic! Our drinks were never empty, the fried oysters were delectable; we also had the mahi bites & the cheesy risotto balls from the happy hour appetizer menu, and cleaned out plates. Great experience! Thanks again, Lauren!!!!
My husband and I go here often for lunch/Dinner. It’s always great food. We had Sean as our server yesterday (11/14/25) he was so much fun! Very enjoyable to have him as our server!! I guess he’s only been there 2 weeks but he was top notch! Keep him around
We stayed at the resort last weekend and can't say enough wonderful things about the property. It started with our check-in with Jennifer, and you could tell she really loves her job and that reflected in her welcoming attitude and professionalism, she was great! We'd highly recommend this property. The resort has an old school Florida vibe and is very well maintained. The entire staff were very friendly and helpful. We are looking forward to our next stay.
I don’t know who trained the bartender Bekka but she was the most experienced bartender I think I have had. I was even testing her to see if she was a real mixologist. And come to find out she is the real deal. I don’t know how much she makes but it’s not enough. She’s my only bartender there from now on.
HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL TIME AT PIRATES COVE, ALL BECAUSE OF OUR WAITRESS LAUREN. SHE SUGGESTED THE BAKED SEAFOOD PLATTER AND IT KNOCKED MY SOCKS OFF!! SHE MADE OUR EXPERIENCE WONDERFUL. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE COMING BACK TO SEE LAUREN AGAIN! 5 STARS
Nice place! We tried it after hearing about it on the radio. The food was delicious and well priced. Staff was helpful and nice. We'll visit the rest of the resort as soon as we get the chance. It looks like fun.
I was there with my son and Lauren was our server. She had such great customer service and made us feel right at home! Well definitely be returning!
