The Club Barbados Resort & Spa

Barbados, Caribbean

Star rating

The hotel

This adults-only, all-inclusive resort is perfect for a relaxing holiday in the Barbados sun. Situated on the west coast, The Club overlooks the Caribbean sea and is a friendly place to while away sunny afternoons with a good book and a refreshing drink. Tucked away, there’s a split-level swimming pool and a full-service spa offering couples massages, aromatherapy salt scrubs and body wraps. Or build up an appetite for dinner by a game of tennis or enjoy a guided morning walk. The two restaurants will tempt you to dine in-house, but lively Bridgetown is just a short drive away and well worth exploring too. You can partake in weekly rum tastings, or simply chill out, watch the sunset and round off another day in paradise.

I read alot of reviews before arriving & will confess that I considered swapping to another resort, due to the amount of negative reviews, rangi g from accommodation quality of towels & attitude of some staff but decided to stick with my choice. Upon arrival, check in was quick and efficient & staff were friendly. The gentleman who showed us to our room was really friendly and helpful. We had a Superior Oceanfront room, your patio doors opened onto a patio and then a sandy area, you woke up to the sound of waves. The room was large, as was the bathroom and we experienced no issue with the quality of towels. 😁. Our room could have been cleaned everyday, but a few times we told Natalie not to bother, as it was still clean. She was very friendly. Ladies at the beach bar were friendly and very efficient, as was Clive at the Sunset bar, always welcomed you with a smile. Sunset restaurant, majority of the staff were friendly, all were efficient at topping up your water and checking if you wanted a drink, Kevin was excellent at this. Good variety of food, always replenished if it was buffet night. My only suggestion re buffet nights was the salad selection, I would change the containers that had plastic tops, as when you came to choose your salad, tomato's etc, you had very limited space to balance the lids, (small poubt, but you'll understand what I mean when you go). Non-buffet nights, food was also excellent. As another reviewers mentioned, I'd put chair leg covers on, as the noise from people standing up when moving from the table is very noisy, and repetitive throughout your meal. Imagine nails down a blackboard. Ends, we only went once, we arrived on time at 6.30, to be told we aren't ready yet, so we sat outside in the bar area, the lady then came out & said are you eating with us tonight, well yes, that's why we tried to walk into the restaurant. Young male waiter, very friendly. Girls at coffee station weren't friendly, you'd say, morning, please & thank you and barely get a look. Girls at the food truck, friendly and efficient. The young lads who sorted the beach beds, swept the beach area everyday, were so polite, friendly and very conscientious. Caroline the manager is very friendly and is visual every day, always asks how your holiday is going and genuinely wants to know. Overall I can understand why some people thought the staff were offish, quite a few seem bored in their roles and didnt seem warm or friendly, no matter how polite and friendly you were. But there are alot of standout staff. Would I recommend the resort, yes, would I revisit, yes. Very relaxing, very clean, alot of people go back year after year, so they must be doing something right. Read less

I had an AMAZING solo stay at The Club Barbados and already want to go back. If you are expecting ultra-luxury with white tablecloth service and marble everything, this is probably not that kind of resort. But what you get instead is something much more memorable: genuine island hospitality, beautiful views, personalized service, great food, and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it very hard to leave. The resort itself is smaller, charming, and social without feeling overwhelming. Yes, some areas are a bit dated and there are no elevators to upper floors, but the warmth of the staff completely outweighs any imperfections. The people truly made this trip special. Kareen and Guye brought incredible energy to the bar every day and made the resort feel fun and welcoming. At Sunset Restaurant, Sherry, Jocelyn, and Mia always made sure I had a beautiful table with a view and helped with reservations. Ron and Carlson were so thoughtful and attentive — they even stayed nearby when a vendor was talking to me to make sure I felt safe and comfortable as a solo traveler. Micael from the non-motorized sports area was refreshingly honest when I asked if I should leave for Oistins one evening. I really wanted a relaxing stay and he reassured me I wasn’t missing out — and honestly, he was right. I stayed, enjoyed Enid’s amazing oxtails, and had a perfect night. Speaking of food — Enid’s was excellent, and the buffet at Sunset was consistently good for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The made-to-order omelets and pancakes every morning were such a nice touch, and I loved the blend of Caribbean flavors with European staples. The entertainment was also unexpectedly fun — piano bar nights, karaoke, and even a mixology competition… which I actually won! And the spa deserves special recognition. Nekita gave me one of the best facials I’ve ever had. This resort gave me exactly what I needed: peace, relaxation, friendliness, and a feeling of being genuinely cared for. I will absolutely be back. Read less

My husband and I visited Barbados for the first time with a 5 night all-inclusive stay at The Club Barbados, May 3-8, 2026. We were looking for a relaxing but fun stay, where we could find everything we were looking for without leaving the resort. This resort did not disappoint in any way. They offer unlimited use of paddle boards, kayaks, and hobie cats, and the ocean surrounding the resort was calm enough most days to enjoy some beautiful paddling; and had light waves at times to offer some adventure for those up for the challenge (with safety always being their main concern). However, the highlight for us was the snorkeling (the resort offers free snorkeling gear, but we brought our own to allow us to snorkel outside of the rental times (8:30-4:00). There is a marine park just to the right of the resort, where many snorkeling tour boats anchor. The attractions, e.g. sunken boats, are marked by bouys that are reachable by snorkeling from the resort itself. There is also a man-made rock barrier to the left of the resort, and snorkeling in this area also offers some excellent marine life. We saw stingrays, turtles, squid, schools of blue tangs and innumerable tropical fish. In fact, if you venture to the furthest sunken boat, hundreds of fish will surround you as they are used to being fed by the tour boat operators. We also did a couple night snorkels in front of the rock barrier (a very safe place to do a night snorkel), and we were rewarded with flounder, pufferfish, lobsters, and the most colorful, playful octopus imaginable. As far as the resort goes, the rooms are very nice (shower, lighting, temperature/AC, balcony...all great); the food was very good with many healthy options (fresh vegetables/fruit) including a food truck with awesome fish tacos (make sure to get the hot sauce to try); drinks were delicious, and service was very good overall. The resort offers nightly lounge-like entertainment, with a limbo performance that shouldn't be missed. There is a supermarket, pharmacy, several gift shops and local restaurants, as well as a high end mall within walking distance from the resort, and it is very safe to walk into town. Another plus, no bugs! Our only tip would be to bring enough cash/small bills for tipping, etc., as it was difficult to find anyone at the resort that could make change. Read less

Fantastic location & we were well looked after. I was a little sceptical before we arrived having read some other reviews but the following is based on our experience as seasoned travellers. Just returned from 2 weeks lovely holiday. We have stayed in Holetown a few times before but not this hotel, so did not feel the need to tour the island but the location of The Club was ideal to walk into Holetown and the various shops, bars and restaurants that are there. It was also right on the main bus route to Bridgetown or Speightstown. Our room (loft / sea view) was spacious quiet and comfortable (not for anyone with mobility issues however - 3rd floor, no lift) and was cleaned daily with fantastic sea aspect - have never slept as close to the ocean before! Food and drinks at the hotel were very good with a choice of evening dining at pre-booked time in either the main restaurant (alternates between à la carte and buffet) or Enid’s - first floor via steps, always à la carte and certainly worth trying. All with friendly servers. Only complaint would be that the chairs could do with some “leg shoes” (x4 each) as the noise from them being moved at 3 sittings per day does tend to irritate. We also took part in the excellent water sports which are included (hobbycat / snorkelling / kayaking / stand-up paddle boarding) which were great. Spa is also well worth a visit for a relaxing massage. Read less
