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.

The House is a wonderful boutique, Adults Only, all inclusive hotel with White Lotus vibes located on the desirable west/platinum coast of Barbados. The staff members were kind, friendly, and attentive. The pools were small, but refreshing. Snorkeling right off the beach was amazing the further you went away from shore. The bar kept drinks flowing. We went during the down (wet) season so there weren't many guests which was perfect for us. The only cons were the Italian restaurant on site was closed for major (demolished) renovations. In addition, four of the seven "sister" hotels that you can go to as part of the all inclusive benefits were also closed for renovations. The Bonvoy website did not mention these closures. One day we took the water taxi to the family friendly The Waves hotel (a sister hotel) for a few hours to ride jet skis and have drinks. We were very thankful we stayed at The House which is a more luxurious resort. The House is simply a fantastic place to stay while in Barbados! Read less

My partner and I stayed at The House in July, and oh boy are we glad we did. From the minute we walked through the arched entrance we were met with a view of the Caribbean Sea and quickly greeted by Shanae and Jason. From this point it was clear this was going to be an excellent holiday. The room was beautiful, spacious and spotlessly clean with fantastic sea views. The hotel has a fantastic atmosphere relaxed, informal and friendly with the staff continually looking after you with drinks, ice cream, cold towels, fresh fruit to name a few. Breakfast was buffet (quality buffet) with a la carte for lunch & dinner - all the meals were excellent. The setting is wonderful but it’s the staff that make a real difference, all of them from gardeners, maintenance, housekeeping, bar, restaurant, spa, front of house and management, yes a long list but they are all great and make a real difference. Special mention to Wade and Andrew who made us laugh on a daily basis and Shanae at front of house for everything, especially for finding us the perfect sunset cruise. Finally, Jason who went above and beyond to make our holiday truly special. We are already planning our next visit. Thank you. Read less

Where to begin!!! My partner and I needed a get away, he booked The House Elegant because the reviews where the best of places we looked at. All I can say is it exceeded our expectations! Sheena!!!!! Sheena!!! Sheena!!! When you arrive ask for Sheena and give her a hug for me! Outstanding service, preferences she did not forget ( none of the staff did) Wade, Nadia, Agnes, Andrew just above and beyond. The good was consistent, delicious and seasoned well, which is very difficult to achieve in a resort with so many different palates from all over the world. The resort is clean, views are fabulous and the intimacy allows you the ability to get to know the other guests and relax. We will definitely be back, if I did not mention you. Know that we appreciate all the staff! Simply Chefs Kiss! Read less

Fabulous……. Look forward to returning after our unfortunate timing. Jason is a true professional and very understanding. He fixed our issue. Beach shoes required as a bit stoney after the storm washed sand away but you can’t do much about that. Staff are brilliant, food and drink delicious.

We stayed at The House, in June/early July 2025 for 10 nights and it was exactly the serene, boutique escape we’d hoped for. The resort is small but luxuriously curated, laid‑back elegance with champagne breakfasts, sunset canapés and plush loungers right by the sea. Our Ocean View Junior Suite had the most amazing king-sized bed, modern bathroom, minibar, coffee machine (we also asked for a kettle), iron & board, lots of power outlets and USB/C adapter, as well as a private balcony with wow‑worthy views. The room was spotless and housekeeping offered a thoughtful with a turn down service, ample towels and toiletries. . Food and drinks? Simply amazing. We loved the à‑la‑carte meals, especially the Saturday lunch BBQ, and all‑day bar access with delicious cocktails, especially the Veranda! Some nights there was also low-key musical entertainment over dinner. Although the storm damage has reduced the size of the beach there is still ample room for guests and more than enough sunbeds - no early owning towel run needed. Beach towels are freely available as well as sunbed drinks service, cold towels, fruit and treats. The sea itself was just perfect - take or hire snorkels & enjoy the abundant marine life just steps from the shore - and although entry to the sea immediately in front of the hotel is a little stoney, walk 15 seconds to the right for a sandy walk-in! Activities were plentiful yet low‑key: yoga, paddle‑boarding, small catamaran, spa treatments and the included 30‑minute jet‑lag massage. We also snagged a spot on the water taxi to check out the sister property, Waves, for a buffet lunch. The Treasure Beach hotel, just a 3 minute walk away, houses the gym we used and is the place to grab a book too. But it’s the staff who truly set this place apart - genuine, warm, attentive, and full of humour. We wont ‘shout-out’ anyone (for fear of missing someone) because they were all amazing & made us feel right at home. We haven’t seen the hotel before the refurbishment so can’t compare, however I will say its modern, stylish and comfortable, and Panda the cat is still here! There isn’t a lot to do in the immediate area however use a yellow bus ($3.50) & ride with the locals to Holetown, or visit Oistins on a Friday evening using the transfer organised by the hotel (pre-book). We pre-booked a tour at Mount Gay rum distillery - worth a visit and you’ll get to see the island on the way too. Rating: 5 / 5 – We plan to return soon. Read less
