Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a mix of positive and negative aspects. The rooms are spacious and clean with a wonderful rain shower and ample towels and toiletries, but lower floor rooms may have a bad smell at times. The service is welcoming and courteous but might need updating. The location is top-notch with easy access to the beach, restaurants, and other attractions, but some areas could be improved. The dining experience is enjoyable overall, especially the breakfast, although more variety could enhance the offering.
I stayed in room 228, a 2-room space with a great balcony offering direct beach access and views. The room was small with old furniture and inefficient air conditioning, but it was exceptionally clean. The hotel is ideally located near a train station and various restaurants, though it sits on a steep slope by the narrow beach, and it offers beautiful ocean views with protective parasols. The service was generally friendly and helpful, with thoughtful touches like replacing used towels and turning down the covers. The dining experience was good, especially with Ether, who was joyful and accommodating during breakfast. Overall, the hotel offers a pleasant stay with a few room improvements needed.
The hotel offers spacious rooms that are always very clean and well serviced during the stay. The direct beach access and view from the 2-room accommodation with a great balcony surpass our previous pool view room. The service is extremely friendly and helpful, especially at the reception, ensuring a smoothly transitioned stay in Barbados. The location is perfect for starting the day with various water sports activities and exploring nearby attractions like Bridgetown and Oistins. The dining experience, led by Ether, creates a joyful morning atmosphere while serving delicious eggs and omelettes. The facilities enhance the overall stay experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were spacious and clean, with a great balcony offering direct beach access and stunning views, but the price paid did not quite match up to the experience. The service was exceptional, with staff who helped us smoothly transition into our stay and took pride in ensuring we had a fantastic vacation in Barbados.
I loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were always excellent, very clean, and serviced so well. The combination of quiet air conditioning, blackout curtains, and a large bed made my accommodations perfect. The staff was so welcoming and friendly, but at times not the fastest. The location, although on the more expensive west coast, was great and offered some interesting coral and fish for snorkeling. The dining was superb, especially with entertainment by Ether, the egg lady. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed during my stay.
