Arrived on 10th June 25. Great reception staff. Rooms good slightly outdated but kept clean and tidy. Hot water not always available at nighttime. Restaurant staff Great. Meals cooked to your choice and menu changes every 2 days. Toby likes to be pampered. Bar staff Great especially Shane who went above and beyond. Sunbeds available all the time pool small but never crowded. Sunbeds available on beach which is at rear of hotel and accessible by few steps. The only drawback is it doesn't have a lift so not recommended for less mobile people. Shops within walking distance. No cash on site so take enough with you. All in all very pleased with the stay and would recommend this hotel. Read less

Everything you need. The rooms where clean and the beds very comfortable (made us realise how uncomfortable our bed was) perfect location for exploring. The food wasn't bad always filling. Thank you to Michelle for the one on one mini rum tasting as we missed her Wednesday one. All the staff were pleasant. Shane, Zachary and Michelle are a blessing for the hotel and a stand out! And Toby of course little character! Beach area was small but sweet, plenty of colourful fish out by the to rocks to spot. Carlisle bay is about a 8 min taxi from the hotel if you want soft sand and blue calm waters. Read less

Well what can I say, just done the Rum tasting with Michelle. Very informative and funny. Great hour with Michelle going through the different rums and what to ask for if you’re at the bar in Barbados. Loved every minute of it with a singalong as well which was funny. She is a dream to have giving out the information. Well done SoCo great employee
