This is, most assuredly, the best place to stay in Barbados.
You have everything you need, and then some. At the optimal level of quality (without any of that excessive, superficial, tacky and gross «luxury» of some other places - which should make uncomfortable any serious person, who is not disconnected from the basic realities of life in this world - ).
The prices (for the rooms and for any food or beverages that you purchase and savour on the premises) are decent, fair and honest.
The rooms are spacious, clean, well ventilated, well-equipped, quiet, cozy and comfortable.
The access to the beach - on the other side of the narrow road - is totally satisfactory. It would be just nonsense to pay more money in order to stay in a hotel with an «immediate» access to a beach. And there are numerous other, close-by beaches, each with their particularities, that you can visit and enjoy at tour leisure.
Everything is very clean. Well managed, efficiently operated, diligently maintained
Beautiful terrasses. One is situated on the level of the pool and the gym. The other one is at the ground level, and it is truly extraordinary. These areas, with the excellent services that they provide, are the «resort» elements of this hotel.
The breakfast is excellent (not wasteful; which makes it more tasty and respectable). All day long, you can purchase delicious drinks and meals from the bar-diner. And there is a very good restaurant, with indoor and outdoor tables, in the immediate vicinity.
But perhaps most importantly: smiles. Smiling, shining faces are everywhere, all the time, in this very hospitable hotel. Even though the staff is obviously working very hard (it is a big operation, and some guests could be often difficult), they will never show it to you, and at all times, they will do their best to make sure that you are content, happy to be there. Each and every one of them personifies the innate kindness and warmth, the authentic sense of hospitality, the deep humaneness, which characterize the population of the wonderful country of Barbados.
