Perfect Spot for a Quiet Getaway

My sister and I came here for a brief vacation, and the pool area was our favorite. Because it wasn't crowded, it was simple to unwind and genuinely enjoy the area. The staff was always available to answer any questions we had, and the room was adequate for our needs. Excellent for a quiet getaway.
Tasty Convenience with a Warm Welcome

A nice surprise was the on-site restaurant. During my visit, I placed two dinner orders, and both were tasty. The dining experience was comfortable because of the staff's friendliness without being overly formal. After a long day of sightseeing, it was convenient to be able to eat at the hotel.

I stayed at Sunbay Hotel for a few nights during my trip to Barbados, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The location is excellent—just a short walk to the beach and a few minutes’ drive to Oistins and other popular spots. The staff were super friendly and helpful, always greeting us with a smile and happy to offer tips about the area.
The room was basic but clean and comfortable, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The pool area was quiet and a nice spot to unwind in the afternoons. I also appreciated the peaceful atmosphere—great for travelers who want to relax without the noise of big resorts.
Not a luxury hotel, but definitely good value for the price. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple, well-located place to stay in Barbados.

Overall had a blast the staff are the best. The rooms are basic but you get what you pay for. I would come again as the staff made my stay even greater. Big up the kitchen staff the reception staff and not leaving out the manager. She was lovely and welcoming and as I already said I would come back again.
