First impression was fantastic, wow what an entrance and spectacular views over pool and sea. We were a bit early for check in so we waited around for a bit with our drinks and once we got in our room we had a further 2 hour wait for our bags to arrive and had to chase them. Not the best start Room was big, clean and spacious. Fantastic bed. Fridge stocked well. Good aircon. Great views and loved the coffee machine. Had to ring down for slippers as we were slipping all over the floors. Then one robe was removed on day 2. Had to request a new one which came quickly. Dirty Glasses were left in our room for 4 days until we accumulated about 12 of them. Dirty plates and rubbish were visible in the corridors for days at a time. Our door spy hole fell off every time we closed the door. Buffet restaurant food was ok, not great ever, there were tiny ants crawling all over the melon on the first morning so I never touched the salad bar after that. Needs covering up. Not enough hot options for fish considering this is Barbados!!! One type of fish all week with a different herb added. Service was inconsistent. We felt neglected at dinner as some of the louder guests demanded attention and drinks were never offered after day 4 but then if you went to the bar to get your own you were told to sit down. Seaweed on the beach smelled like rotton eggs all week. Couldn’t go on it at all. Sea was too rough to dip your feet in regardless. There were good elements too. We enjoyed the entertainment in the evenings. Breakfast was good at Castle restaurant. Pools were gorgeous. Drinks were on point. Loved the snack station at Lucy’s. Gym was great. Overall we enjoyed our holiday because we refuse to let small things bother us but we won’t be returning here. It was our 15th visit to the Island and this hotel was not one of the best we have stayed at. Read less

I just return with my family from a 10-day holiday at the Wyndham Grand Barbados. The setting is simply stunning — beautiful views. The resort grounds are lovely, and the pools were a highlight for our teenagers: clean, spacious, and never overcrowded. Our room was comfortable and spacious enough for the whole family, equipped with all the amenities we needed. Housekeeping did an excellent job keeping everything tidy and fresh throughout our stay. While the on-site dining options were somewhat limited, we found the meals to be very tasty, and service across the board was consistently friendly and attentive. The real standout was the staff. From the front desk to the restaurant team, everyone was warm, professional, and eager to make our stay special. A huge thank-you to Vanessa for her outstanding support at check-in, for helping prepare for my wife’s birthday, and for going above and beyond in so many ways — she was simply fantastic! Special thanks as well to Tracey at the spa for her excellent service, hospitality, and professionalism. And a big shout-out to Kenlyn, Lianne, Anthony, Javon, Riana, Denecia, Kishawanna, Jalisa and the entire dining team for providing us with wonderful mealtime experiences. Also a big thanks to Leah for finding my sunglasses!!! Overall, Wyndham Grand Barbados was the perfect base for our family holiday — relaxing, family-friendly, and set in a truly gorgeous location. We’d be happy to return and would recommend it to any family looking for a Caribbean getaway. Read less

I'm glad I didn't make my decision to stay at this resort based on the negative reviews that I read. The resort is modern and clean. All the staff I encountered was nice, pleasant, & also very attentive. If I was simply walking at the pool, they greeted me & asked how the stay was going. The beach is not swimable, so if you are a beach lover choose a different place. The ocean views from my room was great. They offer complementary shuttle rides to a swimable beach that has several beach clubs. They also have a complementary shuttle to take you to popular fish fry on Friday night. Try the resort for yourself, because I'm glad I did. . Read less
