Jan 10, 2025Lovely Hotel, fabulous beach!
The entrance and reception area to this lovely hotel is fabulous, the location and beach are amazing and the staff are all fabulous. We are repeat clients and we love staying here. However, although we love the Bajan charm of the hotel, it really does need a good lick of paint in the hallways and stairs where the rooms are located. I have read some of the other reviews and actually I found the sunbeds to be very comfortable on the beach. I also agree with the comments about the beach bar, there is only ever one guy on and we had to wait a long time for our drinks, so perhaps this could be something the management can work on, maybe have some extra help, especially during 'Happy hour' which is crazy busy! We ate a lot at he onsite restaurant and always had excellent food, although the service could sometimes be a little slow but then this is Barbados and we're on holiday. The room was always clean and i loved the big gym and the shower facilities when you have a late flight are very welcome. We've booked to go back as we love it so much.

Jan 06, 2025Meet all our expectations and more
I am giving this resort a 5/5 because there is absolutely no reason not too. Our room was always cleaned daily. Kitchenette was stocked with everything I needed to cook for my family. Beds were super comfy. Bathrooms super clean (no mold). No bugs in our room. Always had fresh robes and towels. Laundry on site. Safe. Beautiful beach. Friendly staff. Rooms ready when we arrived and gave us an extra hour grace period when we checked out. Excellent water activities for my teenagers (thank you Michael and Chris) and they threw an amazing New Years event. It’s exactly what I booked and therefore expected!

Jan 06, 2025Not 4 star
It’s definitely not 4 star. Who gives these hotels their star ratings? I’ve just read a previous review by little blue! All I can say is they must of stayed at a different hotel to me. The staff on reception & restaurant weren’t very pleasant or helpful unless you grovelled to them. There’s slow, slower and stop and there definitely on stop! Gregory on the pool bar which is the main one and only bar was useless & arrogant, he made you feel he was doing you a favour by serving you.Why isn’t management walking round checking? I never saw them once. The food in the only restaurant was just about ok and expensive another bug bear was the plastic glasses on a day and evening, Ok I get it in the interest of health and safety if people have found a new holiday activity of smashing glasses around the place just for hell of it and then sweeping it into the pool Yes I can see this could be a problem 🤪 our room was spacious but tired. The kitchenette was something out of the 70s The beach was lovely if you took away the horrible sun beds and rubbish. See pics. The sea was lovely and clear however not suitable for little ones with high waves most of the time. Another problem I found was the NAUGHTY CORNER!! Yes this is what I nicknamed the smoking bench in the corner! Now I like a cigarette but was told this is the only place I can smoke.I get it not in restaurants, rooms or near others that don’t smoke but how to make your quests feel welcome by sitting them on the Bench and yes a bench without any shade either, just wonderful thank you Bougainvillea. It would be so simple to create a proper smoking area and get this with a table, chairs and ashtray oh how I prayed for an ashtray!! As for Barbados as a whole it’s very expensive and very run down but be rest assured that the regeneration levy you are charged for is been spent wisely ‘Not’

Improvement in certain areas
Overall nothing seriously wrong with the hotel, but a collection of minor issues with staff rudeness and VERY slow service tainted our experience. Pool bar only had one member of staff working there at all times resulting in slow & poor service. Calabash where the presence of Roxanne brought the mood down every visit with her attitude and rudeness. Overall the Hotel has so much to offer but more high level visible management on the ground over seeing day to day running would nip these issues in the bud. Beach side first aid kit was inadequate and not fit for purpose and the Sun beds are so uncomfortable . A few areas to work on to unlock the potential the Hitel has.

Amazing holiday
This hotel is absolutely beautiful! I've just come back from a fortnight's holiday. celebrating my 60th birthday, and we can not rate this hotel highly enough. As well as being beautiful to look at and being set on a really lovely white sand beach, every single member of staff was so welcoming and friendly and I mean, EVERY member of staff. No matter what their role, they always greeted you with a smile and couldn't do enough for you. Most have been working there for many years, some for decades! I think this speaks for itself. Calabash restaurant was great. We ate there every morning and I think about 7 times of an evening as the food was that great. Big shout to Lance, Lisabeth, and Roxanna. In fact, all the restaurant staff were brilliant, I'm just sorry I didn't catch all their names, they were that excellent. Thank you to the reception staff too, who helped my husband plan my special birthday celebration. And what a chocolate cake, wow!! Thank you to Janelle for the fabulous spa treatment, which was so relaxing I almost nodded off! And almost three weeks later, my skin is still as soft as a peach. A big shout out to Diane, our housekeeper, who gave us brilliant service and kept us clean and fresh in our room. Michael, Aaron, and the other chaps who looked after the beach area and the towels were amazing! What a great job they always did! Always very friendly and helpful every single day. And last but not least, thank youuuuu to Troy and Winston, who always had a smile on their faces and gave us lots of information and help. To sum my review up, I can wholeheartedly this hotel if you want a lovely relaxing break, in lovely surroundings. Get it booked!
