The hotel

Welcome to The House - a dreamy, adults-only all-inclusive hotel in Barbados where luxury checks in and stress checks out. Tucked away on the platinum west coast, this boutique beachfront beauty is the kind of place you whisper about so your mates don’t all book it before you. This isn’t your standard wristband-and-buffet kinda vibe. At The House, everything is dialled up to divine. We’re talking champagne breakfast every morning, afternoon tea, and sunset canapés served with side orders of sea breeze. There’s no buffet chaos here - just laid-back, luxe meals with views of that famously turquoise Caribbean Sea. Plus, with a dine-around programme that includes top-notch restaurants at sister hotels, you’re sorted for variety. BYO appetite. Oh, and you get 30-minute jet lag massage when you land, included in your stay. Fancy doing absolutely nothing? Sorted. Prefer to kayak, paddle board, or water ski your heart out? Also sorted - and it’s all included.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! The House by Elegant Hotels in Barbados is a true gem. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed not just as guests, but as friends. The service was outstanding – warm, professional, and always attentive without ever being intrusive. The welcome massage on arrival was such a thoughtful touch and immediately set the tone for a relaxing stay. Our room was immaculate, spacious, and tastefully decorated, with breathtaking ocean views that we’ll never forget. The beach is just steps away, with comfortable loungers and excellent beachside service that made it hard to leave! Breakfast each morning was fresh and delicious, and we absolutely loved the afternoon tea and sunset cocktails by the water – those were some of our favorite moments. The overall atmosphere is peaceful, elegant, and perfect for a romantic and restful escape. If you're looking for luxury, tranquility, and exceptional hospitality, The House is the perfect choice. We can't wait to return! Read less

Great to stay at the House after the refurbishment. Quite a contrast to last year and so good to see that most of the staff were there. Almost like coming to stay with friends, as the staff are a great bunch of people. Food is good and in good proportions. A couple of comments about the room which was a 1st floor Ocean View, would benefit from seating in the room, as the balcony is too hot in the afternoons. Also, before the refurb, the balconies had a drying frame (airer) where swimming costumes could be put out to dry. We did suggest this to the receptionist during our stay, as an improvement. Otherwise, they were draped over the balcony wall. The beach and sea have suffered from the ravage of the October 24 hurricane with a lot of rough areas on the sea bed, so reef shoes are recommended, but as the beach and sea are public areas, not under control of the hotel. Similarly, a buoyed area for swimming and snorkelling would be beneficial to keep the jetskis away from swimmers. Nevertheless, hope to go back next year. Read less

We booked a Junior suite for a week in early May. We arrived at lunchtime and warmly greeted by Anthony who was ever present by Reception. The room was already available for us which was really appreciated after a long flight from the UK. It was on the ground floor a short distance from Reception and opened directly out on to the pool and views beyond out to sea. It had obviously benefitted from the recent refurb and had everything you might require….air conditioning, lovely king size bed, coffee machine, well stocked fridge, free wifi and USB charging points. The food was simply exceptional……the usual self-service champagne breakfast, three course lunch and dinner. Dietary restrictions could usually be accommodated. A free bar operated all day and offered premium spirits, beers and a huge range of cocktails cheerfully served up by Devere, Wade and Denis. The waiting staff were fantastic without exception. Special thanks to Sheena, Agnes, Rico, Andrew and Heather…and others I have missed! The hotel was not fully occupied so there was no problem finding sunbeds and the modest pool was rarely used by more than a handful of people at any given time. Full marks to Kwesly who was always circulating to make sure you had drinks and lollipops! There is a water taxi which regularly runs between the House and two other hotels in the group…Treasure Beach about five minutes one way to the north and Waves, 20 mins to the south. Reception can book you into the restaurants at either and the water taxi stops at all three without booking…just stand on the beach! The beach in front of the hotel is relatively narrow and the sand quite hard on the feet as others have said. More adventurous folk were borrowing the hotel goggles etc and found some good snorkeling just offshore. On our last day we were able to keep our room until our taxi came at 15.00 instead of the normal 12.00…this meant we were able to make full use of our last day. There were some minor downsides during the stay. A digger working on the adjoining building site was creating some noise and disruption but this will be short lived once the works are complete. Rooms close to the central reception and dining area could be quite noisy from 6.00 am as staff arrived for work and started pushing trolleys around. The room doors would benefit from more sound proofing or ideally an extra internal door to create a lobby area. We did get some mosquito bites in the room at night but the cleaning staff then sprayed twice daily which fixed the problem. Overall though these are minor issues which did nothing to affect a fabulous stay. Read less

We will be back! The service and people here- exceptional. From Wade and Deven at the bar (and everyone), Andy “Tupac” resident handyman and Jack of all trades, front desk staff, Richelle (amazing) Shalei at front, Anthony, Troy - Sheena and Alison, all the lovely servers, and - the egg lady Pat- who also does first aid (as needed) she is literally the sweetest human, literally everyone was amazing. I cannot say enough good things. We travel a lot, and WILL come back. So relaxing, so lovely and newly renovated! Walking distance from so many lovely spots- Sandy Cove, and the Cliff. We didn’t have time to try any of the included water activities but something fun to look forward to next time. When small things happen, you don’t need to ask or say a word, the staff are on it, and work to ensure you feel valued. Although the room was fabulous, rooms facing the ocean, food solid for an all inclusive, wine list solid for an all inclusive and great cocktails, the best part was the people. Hands down, the people. And of course the complimentary massage! Stacy/ amazing. Typically these massages that are comp’d at all inclusive are subpar, and they push add ons. The massage was so professional and relaxing. No added pressure to do anything more. But for sure, when I go back, we will spend more time in spa! Definitely recommend for a quiet relaxing pampered get away. Read less
