    I was there for work, however I thoroughly enjoyed it
    • Business trip

    • Family Studio
    • Stayed 4 nights

    Can do with more outlets especially near the table for charging laptop whilst working a table lamp would do too the bed was not comfortable

    Ideal location- right on the beach I like the self-contained room thumbs up for cleanliness, though my floor was not so clean on the first day.

    Excellent location

    The staff in the restaurant are quite cold and non-communicative although this seems to be the way things are in most of the restuarants we visited locally - certainly not the warm smiling welcome and chatty staff you generally find in tourist destinations in Europe, the USA and Asia. To be honest, I think the fairest thing I can say is that staff here (and elsewhere in Barbados) tolerate tourists. Service is generally slow. Prices everywhere are high - food is considerably more expensive than other destinations in Europe or Asia and the food is fairly average. So, basically you pay more for less quality. For lunch a not-very-good burger and chips or a pizza costs about EUR18, main courses for dinner around EUR25

    The location is excellent - right on a beautiful beach. I think the only reason to visit Barbados is for the beaches so my advice is book a place like this hotel and just stay right there. There are quite a few restaurants on the street within easy walking distance.

    The rooms, in our opinion, should be upgraded. I booked a family suite hoping for space, but it was the same size of a standard room. Had to wait sometimes for wash clothes even after turnover.

    The location was excellent and the staff super friendly and professional

    The access road which flooded and became impassable for pedestrians each time it rained, which it did heavily on more than one occasion. If you did not have a car, you were restricted.Surely the Hotels in the proximity could collaborate and get something done about this matter.?

    I did get the quiet room requested, which was clean and the beach easily accessible.It provided most of the essentials, and I only needed to ask if something extra was required. The staff were all polite and helpful.

    We heard the cost of a replacement plastic key card is BBD 100 which is extortionate.

    It has to be the location. Access to a beautiful beach. The hotel is a bit tired and could do with the bathroom renovating in the room we had. Very overpriced for what you actual get

    the room assigned wasn’t made when I walked in. had to walk back to the reception to have to get another room. it was already almost 9pm. They were nice enough to get me a bigger and clean room and order from the kitchen which was closing.

    Few sockets to plug in electronics/rechargers etc. Bedside light kept going on the blink.

    Excellent location overlooking the sea next to a quiet sandy beach where you could swim. Room has a balcony where you can eat breakfast or drink sundowners etc. Also faced south east and witnessed spectacular sunrises. Slept to the sound of crashing waves. Studio room with kitchenette with stove top, microwave and fridge freezer so possible to prepare or heat up simple meals. Also cable TV. Hotel tucked away in quiet corner 10 mins walk from The Gap.

    Location was great.Local places around wich was reasonable to get food. Was on honeymoon trip. Shan at front desk had a wonderful surprise for us after we returned from a tour. Did not expect that,as she was the only one we mentioned that we were recently married. Had our room specially decored in a special way. All the staff were great from the person cleaning the rooms, to the maintainence staff,front desk and even the staff at the resturant. Thank you all for a memorable experience.

    No toiletries. Had to ask for wash cloths. Bed linens worn. Pillows lumpy.

    Front desk perfect. Restaurant needs help.same menu over and over. Morning server slow no variety or ability to make substitute. Furniture old. Bed linens tired.needs updating. Needs chairs and umbrellas on beach. Better wine selection. We would have had dinner there every night if there had been better selections. Breakfast an ordeal. Food never hot or forgot silverware or condiments. One server in am not enough. Dinner server lovely.
