“Outdated and Average”

Jul 06, 2024CathyR30

Rooms were not ready by check-in time of 3pm even though the hotel was practically a ghost town. We did get the opportunity to have lunch while we waited. We also received an upgraded room but it was dated. The restaurant staff was not as friendly and welcoming compared to the other islands we visited, they were more concerned with talking, laughing and taking shots amongst themselves that attending to guests at meal times. The best meal of the day was breakfast. Lunch and dinner options as described on their website and at check-in was totally different from what was available. When we inquired about the options at meal times they said that was an error and the document we received at check-in needed to be corrected. I wish I knew that before I booked as that's the main I choose an all inclusive option. The beach was nice the drinks were strong and I won't be return to this hotel.

“Brilliant stay at Tamarind”

Jun 26, 2024clouds111

Stayed for a week at Tamarind and had a fantastic stay. Our room was upgraded on check in and we had a lovely view of the pool and ocean. Staff are very helpful and the welcome rum punch was a hit. The room itself was very spacious, big comfy bed, tea/coffee, dressing robes and all the essentials. Yes the rooms are a little dated but it was no issue for us. Our door lock stopped working one afternoon and the maintenance guy fixed it within 30mins. They are closing for a refurb at the end of the summer, but I hope it can retain some of its old character and charm. The ladies servicing the room did a great job and replenished everything we needed and even left the balcony alone as there were two fledgling birds taking shelter there. The location is out of this world. The views and beach are beautiful. The beach was pristine. There are 3 pools to choose from and plenty of beds. The hotel was very quiet the first few days we were there but we preferred it that way. There is a bus stop right outside that will take you up the west coast or down to Bridgetown for just a few dollars. Not a great deal of bars or food places in the immediate area if you are looking for a change but Holetown is a 10 min bus ride. The food at the hotel was great, although the lunch time/ bar snack menu was a bit repetitive. We ate at Positano twice and that was lovely. There are some water sport included in the package such as SUPs, kayaking, snorkelling (there’s a reef right off the shoreline), water skiing and more. The guys are on the beach every day and they are knowledgeable and really helpful. There’s a water taxi to Waves and Crystal Cove which we used once but we preferred Tamarind overall. Hotel staff and the reception team are friendly and polite. The bar drinks and cocktails are also really good and they showed the T20 World Cup cricket in the bar each game which my partner appreciated. I loved our stay here and look forward to seeing what they do with the hotel after the refurb.

“Nasty rooms, run down property, needs renovations! DO NOT STAY HERE in Barbados!”

Jun 07, 2024Sherima R

Do NOT BOOK! Property is falling apart. Front desk greeted me terribly. I got Alana to step in and check us in. Got to our room and it was mold/mildew in bathrooms, toilets running and wouldn’t stop, floors dirty, hair in the tub, ripped bedsheets, tore up furniture, it looked like a nightmare. I’m still waiting for a manager to change our room. THIS PROPERTY MADE ME SO SAD IT RUINED MY BARBADOS VACATION! My family stayed 3 nights at the Little Good Harbour and it was amazing! Newly renovated 2 bedrooms villas for half the cost and the staff went above and beyond for my family. Our last 2 days we decided to stay at the Tamarind All Inclusive, paid more and it is just run down and disgusting. The employees I can tell is embarrassed how run down this place is and they don’t know what to do. Management please renovate!
