A motel, hotel. Absolutely not worth repeating.

Let me start with the positive.
The beautiful sea view from our balcony and we had good night sleep, so no noise at all.
The staff was friendly but not really helpful.
From here on, it's not so good.

This hotel doesn't really look like a hotel but rather a motel.
Our room was a dated and taking in consideration for what we paid for it was very expensive for what you get, totally overprized.
Worst of all was the bathroom without a decent ventilation no wonder that it had a moldy smell.
The included breakfast was absolutely basic, a couple choices that's it.
A place we would never return.

Excellent place to stay in barbados, all rooms boast balconies with amazing views. Everything you need with modern facilities, extremely clean studios which are serviced everyday with fresh towels. The pool was fab with really comfortable sunbeds. There can be some noise a couple of nights but we knew this before booking and brought earplugs. Lots of restaurants nearby but the best for us was tropical mist which is in the hotel, very reasonably priced, great food and drinks. We enjoyed walking up to the boardwalk and having a drink with the sun going down. We hired a car and went towards the west coast with brandons beach being one of the best, really quiet. We also had a great time rumtasting at stades distillery which is on brighton beach. We'd like to say a huge thankyou to tia and her reception colleagues, very informative, helpful and welcoming.

Very comfortable and clean hotel, with a wonderful view. We recently enjoyed 10 nights here, visiting family and exploring the island. There is no beach access, but a large deck with swimming pool, and plenty of stylish loungers. Very good restaurant.
The staff were exemplary. The aircon is good. The bed comfortable. The shower works well.
