My husband, son and I spent May midterm in a deluxe double room overlooking the pool. It was a lovely room with a gorgeous bathroom. Our beds were really comfortable, the towels and bathrobes were fluffy and changed frequently. The view from our room and location were excellent. The food in Reef, Umi, Sizzles and Colin’s bar was really great. The cocktails were certainly plentiful and nice. The beach is to die for, plenty of loungers and the water sports guys were so friendly and attentive. Special shout out to Dylan who patiently played connect four with my son. The KidsClub ladies were so kind too. My son never goes to KidsClub on holidays but these ladies made him so welcome and he had such fun with them that he couldn’t wait to go. Thanks guys. The Maitre D in Sizzles was another great staff member, so good at his job. All the waitresses in Reef were so warm and friendly too, special shout out to Tyra! Thanks for looking after us so well. In short we had no fault at all with Sugar Bay and can definitely recommend it. We walked up and down the coast a few times, did a boat trip with JayJay (another big thumbs up), swam with turtles, saw the horses swimming and did lots of relaxing. Thanks Sugar Bay for a wonderful holiday.

First time to Barbados and loved it. Hotel can be tired in places, but service and friendliness of staff (and all Bajans) unparalleled. We moved from Annex rooms after a couple of days to superior room and definetly worth it. We also hired. Cr, but wouldn’t bother at our next visit as once you work out the cost of taxis there are thousands of them. A Brilliant holiday!

Great Small Hotel. We stayed across the street in the adults only section. If you can afford a pool view room rather than standard, it is well worth it. We had beautiful room with balcony overlooking the pool. Even caught a glimpse of some monkeys playing early one morning which was fun. Jacqueline was frequently at the front desk and we chatted with her several nights. She wasn’t working one night and we missed seeing her. Beautiful huge porch over looking water off of the beautiful lobby and terrace area. Used water taxi several times to visit other hotels. Hard to describe how great it is, but we hope to go back again!

Formally the Ocean Two Resort & Residences this fabulous property has undergone an amazing transformation and has recently reopened as a chic 5* boutique all-inclusive resort called O2 Beach Club & Spa.

Staff was beyond what I expected, if they did not have something I wanted they got it for me for the following day. The food was fantastic no matter where we ate. I will definitely be going back here and would not have left if I did not have to work lol

Yellow Bird is an affordable gem at the start of the bustling waterfront strip of St. Lawrence Gap. This charming 22-room boutique hotel – with its friendly and attentive staff – faces picturesque St. Lawrence Bay, where colorful fishing skiffs bob and waves break on the protective reefs beyond and turtles can be seen from our balconies while they frolic in the bay. The property underwent a US $1.25 million refurbishment a few years ago which included a total facelift to all guest rooms and poolside bar & restaurant. Our in-house restaurant On The Bay is open daily for breakfast, lunch & dinner and offers delicious local cuisine prepared with herbs from our garden. The updated guest rooms have been renovated with luxurious finishes to ensure that our guests enjoy their stay with us in chic & stylish surroundings and include: · King bed and double sofa bed · bathrooms with walk in rain showers · kitchenettes with fridge, stove, microwave, toaster & coffeemaker · balconies overlooking our pool and the St. Lawrence Bay · hairdryer, iron & room safe · 42” LED TVs & Free WiFi, recently received its first Green Globe certification and won the Barbados Hotel & Tourism Apartment Hotel of the Year award in 2018. Yellow Bird has also been named in the top 1% of hotels worldwide in the categories of Romance and Best Service - Caribbean. Stay with us, enjoy our fabulous location and experience stunning ocean views and 5 star service at affordable rates.
This was our fifth time staying at the yellow bird, & didn’t disappoint. The rooms are air conditioned, spacious, have everything we needed & very clean, sea views not too far from the beach, with bars & restaurants around the corner, it’s in an ideal loacation. Staff are as always amazing.. we left feeling like family. Thankyou to Monique, Sonia & Jamal for making us so welcome.

What a gem! Lovely polite staff and modern well equipped rooms. Central location with fantastic views of the sea… We had breakfast here a couple of days which was reasonable the rooms were cleaned daily with fresh towels readily available.We will definitely be back.

"An enchanting blend of vitality and Caribbean charm." A colorful and vibrant beachfront all-inclusive property with 88 rooms offering a seductive Caribbean charm that will make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. Crystal Cove's warm, relaxed ambience and friendly service which includes all-inclusive accommodation as well as a supervised Kids Club (for children aged 3-11) appeals to families and couples of all ages, many of whom return there year after year. Elegant Inclusions with each stay are all meals and beverages, motorized water sports, Wi-F, fitness center, tennis , bespoke daily activities and superior pool & beach ambassador service. Experience select sister west coast properties via daytime water taxi and enjoy additional dining outlets and amenities.
This was our second visit to Crystal Cove in the past 12 months, and we enjoyed it just as much second time around! The resort is in our opinion the most "fun" of the Elegant Hotels chain, with a beautiful beach, multiple pools and two good quality restaurants offering both buffet and A La Carte options. We loved dinners at Drifters, sat right on the ocean, and spending the days lounging with views of the beautiful Caribbean. Cocktails are always great, and the rooms while a little old-style well maintained, but you're probably not going to spend much time there! We also really enjoyed the dine around programme, and had a dinner at Treasure Beach and Tamarind during our stay and Waves on our previous visit, which is a nice scene change especially if you have a longer visit. But the part that makes Crystal Cove so special is the staff - everyone we have interacted with has always been so wonderfully kind and genuine. Special mentions on our most recent visit to Kathy in reflections who definitely kept us on our toes, Jensel in the bar who is so friendly and easy to talk to, and Antonette on reception who makes sure everything you need happens! But in general a huge thanks to all the staff. We can't wait to come back next year for our third visit!

All of our newly renovated 72 Beachfront Suites and Oceanfront Rooms offer unobstructed views of the Caribbean Sea. Our Three Bedroom Villa is surrounded by lush tropical gardens and offers garden views from the bedrooms and ocean views from two terraces. All balconies and terraces feature comfortable furnishings, making this the perfect spot to enjoy magnificent vistas, whilst relaxing on the sun loungers, or enjoying a private candlelight dinner. All rooms offer comfortable Fairmont beds, flat screen TVs and refreshment centre. Fairmont Royal Pavilion has re-imagined it's room categories with all categories being inclusive of Airport Fast Track and Breakfast. All suite categories will be further enhanced with butler service, luxury airport transfers and more.
The beach where the property is located is beautiful. The rooms were fine and clean, although looking very aged and in need of refresh like the rest of the resort. I have been to many Fairmont hotels in the past and this was NOT a Fairmont experience. Our room came with a butler that did not show up until the last day at the property. Internet (considered a basic requirement) is UNUSEABLE throughout the property. Service was mixed with some employees (20%) that were happy to serve and showed it. All other employees treated us with complete disdain and horrible service. (Hotel is employeeing people w/6 month contracts which shows). Food was fine, but the location where we had to eat on a number of days allowed the buffet to be subject to the outside heat and bugs. The location changed halfway in to our stay where it improved by the food being located in an air conditioned area. I am an avid traveler and understand that “things” can happen during a stay, but it is how the employees react that makes all the difference. The hotel is NOT a 4 or 5 star experience. 3.5 would be the score. We will not be back to this property and are not sure if we will be staying at a Farimont again after being acquired by Accor. If you are looking for a high level of service and a beautiful fresh resort in Barbados look elsewhere (Sandylane may be a better choice)

Located on the platinum west coast of Barbados, Cobblers Cove offers a haven of grace and tranquility to discerning travelers. The beach side hotel has 40 suites, each individually decorated and open to the ocean and tropical garden surroundings. The Camelot Restaurant is a destination in itself. Renowned for its island-inspired dishes that reflect the changing seasons, Camelot Restaurant, right on the edge of the Caribbean Sea, serves the finest food in Barbados. Chef Jason Joseph and his team source as many of their ingredients as possible from local suppliers to bring the taste of the island to Camelot guests. The hotel also received the 2018 Luxury Hotel of the Year award from the Barbados Hotel and Tourism Association.
Great service by very friendly people in a comfortable suite in a lovely location. Top marks! Close to nature with birds and monkeys (friendly) roaming the gardens. Staff are exemplary and ensure all your needs are catered for.

We are located on the South Coast of Barbados in an ocean front setting with access to two white-sand beaches, and a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Refurbished in June 2009, we are an excellent hotel for those looking for a self-catering but full-service property near to all the amenities the island has to offer...
The restaurant doesn’t accept cash. I booked online but when I got there, there hidden fees. There is no room service. I think it’s more of a guest house. However, the people were friendly and accommodating. The beach is right there but the water was too rough to swim. Still a great view though.
