Sunset Bar

Sunset Bar is the poolside and beachfront bar at The Cove Rotana, positioned exactly where its name promises - the low rim of the resort's horseshoe bay, with an uninterrupted westerly view across the water. It's a casual outdoor venue built around timber decking and loungers, designed to carry guests from afternoon swims into sundowners without a change of pace. The drinks programme is focused and well-made. A short list of pool-friendly cocktails, properly-pulled coffee, fresh juices and a strong non-alcoholic line-up keeps both sides of the deck happy, and bar snacks come out promptly throughout the day. Prices sit at resort level; the value is in the setting and the length of time guests end up staying. It's the team that lifts Sunset Bar above a standard pool-side outlet. The bartenders are named again and again in return feedback - remembered drinks orders, personalised service for families, and a genuine rapport with regulars on multi-night stays. Arrive mid-afternoon, claim a lounger facing the water, and plan to still be there when the colour drops out of the sky.
