“Overpromised”

Sep 28, 2025Kim M

Bookers Beware~ if you are looking for a great view and a truly Luxurious stay- this is not it. The view is great, But the property is in need of many renovations to qualify as Luxury. It’s an older property struggling to keep up. Most of the staff are exceptional. But it only takes one or two to ruin the vibe, which was our experience. In my opinion, the cost doesn’t match the quality/service.

“Amazing views”

Sep 28, 2025Holly057

After reading a few of the not so great reviews, we were a little apprehensive for our 1st visit but it was fantastic. People had said it looks a little tired and I slightly agree but nothing major. We had a few issues with the lock on our door working but reception were super helpful and in the end up we moved rooms. We were gifted a bottle of Moët to apologise which was appreciated and a really nice touch. Breakfast had a great choice of items and the view over the beach is just perfect. The birds are cheeky though so think some covers would be useful to stop unwanted visitors. As we visited in off season, the hotel was lovely and quiet. Plenty of choice of sun beds around the pool or on the beach. Great pool guys. Ate room service and lunch once and plenty of choice and food nice. Both rooms were great. Incredible view of the beach from bed. Huge bed and most importantly powerful air con. Grounds were well maintained and we even had a family of monkeys visit 🍌 Happy hour 5.30-6.30 was brilliant and the best pina colada we’ve ever tasted. If we came again we would definitely return and quite possibly in off season.

“Off season heaven”

Sep 18, 2025DJ_RevPlaytime

We stayed at the Fairmont Pavilion in the off-season and honestly, I think we cracked the code. The beach was ours alone, not a selfie stick or inflatable flamingo in sight, and the pool was blissfully free of anyone attempting lengths. I’m sure in peak season it’s a different story, but having the place practically to ourselves felt like winning the holiday lottery. The staff were genuinely lovely, adding to that laid-back charm Barbados does so well. And the best bit? We enjoyed every moment without having to pay three times the price for Sandy Lane. Sometimes, being contrary pays off.
