If we're in Barbados then it makes sense that we should be eating more authentic Barbadian dishes. 1 lunch in a week is not enough. Is the hotel scared to feature the food of it's culture or is the ownership obviously not Barbadian and could care less for preserving and promoting the culture. I'm sure that's it.

Nothing about the breakfast. The breakfast needs better options. The food overall needs to be improved.

Some of the staff were less helpful than others, particularly in the restaurant. Our first evening we were offered top ups of wine, but this was not offered on subsequent nights. The set dinner menus were not so good.

I enjoyed the food as the selection suited my preferred diet, especially the salads and buffets. The gym was good, except both treadmills were out of order. The location was good, and water sports offered were good as included. It was nice to be able to dine around the other Elegant Resorts and restaurants. The food we had in the Italian was very good.

Stayed in March 2023

Rooms are in desperate need of updating, poor management in the restaurants (especially at breakfast time) regularly no plates, food running out - meaning you have to wait round the buffet area for it to be replenished. Also evening meal was buffet most nights rather than ala carte which (which isn’t great considering the amount of money you pay to stay here).

Great location, watersports good, food was nice also.

The hotel is a bit tired but under new ownership things should change under Marriott. The beach was a tad worn and eroded from previous visits and the beach staff need to tidy it up and rake it every day like they do at other resorts nearby. When we arrived we ate outside under the covers on the outside decking. This stopped half way thro and we had to eat in the only dining room. Sunbed bagging starts at 06.00hrs with no control...very frustrating.

Breakfasts were great although things tended to finish and not be plenished. The egg chef Ester is superb, so funny and efficient.

The smoke detector and fire alarm went off over ten times in the evening and night and we were concerned as to why we were not informed that this was an ongoing issue, which needed to be resolved. We jumped up each time to see whether or not we need to evacuate the premises. The potential risk for falling was evident whenever it rained due to slippery floor surfaces. The ceiling in the bathroom had an evident leak stain from the roof. We were staying on the third floor. The bathrooms need updating so that seniors can step in and out more easily without risk for falling.

Excellent food, music, security and outstanding staff. The day administrators were very helpful and reassuring.

The bed and room

Stayed in May 2022

There just weren't enough sun beds, which is pretty important on a beach holiday. This part of the beach is so narrow there is not enough room for many beds, and there were only 50 or so round the pools. We would come.down by 8.00 and realise that the only ones still available either had no umbrella, or were on a big slope on the narrow beach. We took the free water taxi to The Colony Club a few times which was much better, huge beach, attentive pool assistant who would move beds for you, get you towels etc. The food was OK, but only OK. Our room didn't look like the ones in the pictures. It was a bit tired. Maybe they have renovated some but not all of the rooms.

Good service, good breakfast. Water taxi to the other hotels was great, we went to the Colony Club during the day a few times.

Firstly, it's worth saying there were a number of large wedding parties on site which may be a cause of some of the failings, but breakfast did not have enough serving staff to cope with a no-touch buffet. Wait staff varied between absolutely superb and unpleasantly surly. Lunch and dinner there was a problem in that the kitchen was too far from the restaurant (of which there was only one, not two as on the website) and the wait staff had to make too many journeys which affected both food quality and service. The rooms are large but the décor and furnishings were very tired. The hotel also needs some overdue maintenance. This hotel could be absolutely wonderful after the pandemic and with more hands-on management.

Perfect location. Great pools. Large Rooms. Plenty of Deck space and loungers. The ability to eat at sister hotels and use of the water taxi is a great bonus.

location excellent access to beach beach bar restaurant with the view

Location excellent Buffet variable quality; Main issue however dated decor was the leak in the bathroom and main room following heavy rain which continued as we visited during the rainy season; was offered to change the room mid stay which was extremely inconvenient and during that time room was not cleaned which left very unpleasant smell. Staff pleasant, Ether very helpful with grill/omelets/poached egg requests, Shanika receptionist helpful and pleasant balanced other issues; TV reception only 6 channels was poor and AC not able to adjust which again was very inconvenient as the weather was hot;

I'm certain I didn't get my money's worth for an 'all-inclusive'. There was nothing special about my room or its view. Some of the staff were unfriendly and could be more helpful with just a little bit of effort.

Food was decent, as was the selection of cocktails available. The beach is lovely and some of the staff are friendly.
