“Not bad but not brilliant.”

Sep 25, 2025Joanna19x

First time in Barbados and we chose this hotel, as we had known other people that stayed here. Our room was clean and tidy, spacious and modern. We had a good time and some of the staff were lovely, some were very rude. I guess you cannot please them all! I wasn't keen on the food, and we ended up going out to eat a fair few times during our stay. However, the beach is beautiful, the sunsets are breathtaking, we even saw some turtles and sting rays when we went out on a boat. Overall, it was ok. Comfortable beds, comfortable stay but there are nicer hotels on the island for better quality. Like a travel lodge by the beach!

“Totally unhappy”

Worst hotel been to, food rubbish, no beach it’s all rocks! Room ok, put it at one star, went with virgin and they said was lovely hotel, we have travelled all over the world and told her what we expect so don’t choose virgin! Was expecting luxury but didn’t get it

“Shocking”

Mar 08, 2025MFB13

Shockingly bad hotel. Very cheap and run down, decoration and furniture. Plastic. Staff (most) not helpful or friendly. Had to move hotel after a couple of days and thank god we did. The food was not good. The only thing that was nice was the beach, but the sun loungers were old.
