Feb 16, 2025BEAUTIFUL LOCATION ON THE WEST COAST AND OVERALL 4.5* RATING
The last time we stayed at this hotel was 35 years ago, although we have returned to Barbados many times since our first visit in 1971 !! The West Coast still reflects the best of Barbados coast line for a relaxing holiday. This was a special anniversary and birthday surprise for my wife and I had requested the Hotel to arrange a birthday cake to be in our room. The cake was there when we entered with two cocktail drinks - just perfect. The best cake, ever, and what a size - it last for our whole week. Many thanks indeed to the Royal Pavilion for this. The Check-in was easy and welcoming and our Luxury Ocean View Room on the 2nd floor (236) was in a superb location and with beautiful beach and sea views, all day long. Lovely sunsets as well. We loved the room layout, balcony, bathroom, excellent walk in shower, and comfortable bed. Some of the wooden furniture drawers though were jamming. There was a broken mini-bar, which was dirty and no fridge in the room. I telephoned Reception and requested a fridge, as were not concerned about having a mini bar, but a fridge was essential (especially for our cake !). A large fridge arrived in a few minutes. However I do think all the rooms should have either a mini bar or a fridge. The room is lacking any facilities for drying wet swimwear or other clothing. I did request this, and was told it would be forthcoming, but it never arrived despite a second call. We were staying 7 nights and this Hotel which used to be known as the 'Jewel in the Crown' for Barbados, still has retained its 'pink' charm and could with some improvements be a 5 star as opposed to a 4.5 star. Excluding value for money as this hotel is very expensive compared to other Hotels in the Far East of higher quality, but then if you want Barbados and the West Coast there is a premium to be paid. The gardens are beautiful and well kept. I do feel though that the pathways especially between the Reception and the swimming pool and to the rooms could be better washed and cleaned. There are many leaves falling from the trees around the swimming pool and the loungers, and many of these go into the swimming pool. I feel the cleaning of the pool for most of our week was very poor, and only when Simon arrived did i see a big improvement. Full marks to Simon for his excellent attendance to the guests around the Pool. The restaurants were very good and all the staff were always very friendly and welcoming. and we really enjoyed all our meals. Breakfast was excellent in the Palm Terrace restaurant every morning, and it was a great start to the day. Again all the staff so good and friendly, and we enjoyed our chats with them. I cannot remember her name but the young lady on the Egg Station with a great smile and who had a little problem with the eggs for my wife was really good. I do think though that it would be far better to be able to order the eggs from the table rather than having to queue up, and which can be very busy. The Steak night meal on the Wednesday at the Palm Terrace was really good, and its a great pity that it is only available for one night a week. I feel that as a minimum this menu should be available at least two nights per week and if necessary in both restaurants. This Hotel should be a 5 star rated one and this could easily be achieved with just rectifying these small but important points. Overall though a really good and enjoyable holiday and well worth the cost.
