Pros +
- The rooms are comfortable and clean and the staff is very accommodating. The beach is also lovely.
- West coast beach location was great. Hotel provides wonderful service. TV includes FOX News! Restaurants all very nice.
- The location is fabulous. The accommodations are somewhat dated yet comfortable. They are, however, right on the beach. Ours had a lovely balcony with very good views.
Cons -
- Jacuzzi was not hot. Rooms need an update.
- The air conditioning seem to struggle. It could get hot at night while sleeping. We were there with three other couples and none of the room refrigerators worked. The service of some of the dining/beach service workers was lacking as well. The rooms were overpriced for the level of service received.
- The sofa bed was very uncomfortable; my child ended up sleeping just on the sofa, not pulled out. The service was sometimes a bit slow, but it seemed more like “island time” than because of any issues.

Great location on a lovely beach. We had one of the “beachfront suites” and it was fantastic—so nice to walk right from our room to the beach, and the deck area was like having another living space. Staff were exceptionally friendly and caring, and the level of service was very high—the staff unpacked our bags, brought us coffee in the morning, arranged transportation, and more. A smaller resort, it felt intimate and homey while having all the amenities of a larger hotel. The food was delicious. We enjoyed meeting the other guests, too, everyone was friendly. The hotel is close to Holetown and not far from several restaurants and other beaches; it’s easy to take the bus, or the staff will arrange a taxi if needed.

Location was fantastic.Staff were very helpful and always very accommodating. Service was fantastic. Hotel was meticulously clean.
Gym would definitely benefit from an upgrade. It was below standard expected for a hotel of this nature.
Airport transfer. Location. Sea. Quality of food.
Staff like zombi. Service very bad. Butler is useless. At the restaurant: on breakfast you wait your dishes 30-45 minutes minimum. On lunch and dinner you wait your dishes more than 1 hour. And, for example, you do not get your desert, waiters just forget about it, but it will be in your bill... Late check out is big problem, even for 30 minutes
Excellent location, in my opinion on the best beach in Barbados and the rooms are very close to the sea
Staff attitude not overly helpful and a bit aloof
Beautiful Hotel with lovely rooms spacious balcony with fabulous views of the ocean
So disappointed they don’t switch the in room fridges on you have to ask for a cold drink
Good location, nice room.
Expensive food and drink
Breakfast selection was limited. We were encouraged to NOT order from the menu. When we did we waited 60 minutes for our meal. Unacceptable!
Breakfast and the hostess. She was rude.
The breakfast was good. Varied in the selection of food.The staff were friendly and they to remember what we liked. The tables were plenty and they tried to seat us by the beach. They also altered the menu somewhat to accommodate people’s preferences.
The coffee could have been better. The juices should have been fresh.The service was sometimes a little slow.
The location of the hotel between restaurants is very central
The restaurant and other areas need upgrading the hotel is looking tired
Beautiful location. Clean & comfortable.
Some of the staff were good others had a not really bothered attitude.Could be so much better with more attention to detail like the candles on the terrace being lit at night as one example.
Beautiful location and facilities - would definitely go back
Shower glass walls were not chalked so water flew out largely into the bath tub.
Great location and very relaxing. Amazing views
The breakfast
The bedroom and the beach
Renovation work underway. Only one restaurant open. Pool very disappointing
Friendly staff. Always smiling.
They need a separate kiddie pool.
Good
Noise from the events at the restaurant every other day; I don’t think it is fair to proclaim you are a secluded and quiet luxury retreat if you allow outsiders to throw parties every other day with loud music.
great location, rooms are ok
the place is tired, it needs a huge refresh. bar and food options are poor.
We loved the location and the quaint size of the hotel, so you didn’t feel like you were staying in a huge resort or anything. Also, after meeting other tourists around the island we quickly realized that west coast is the best coast for calm serene waters :) so glad we booked here !
