Check in was busy with a bit of a wait. Rooms are nice but a bit tired. They are clean but floors could use a good scrub in the bathroom. Basics are provided. No blankets just a top sheet for those who like cool room with covers. Breakfast is great, pool are is great and beach area is beautiful. Drinks are inexpensive but small. Staff are kind

The room was very spacious, and the beach is just across the street from the property. Breakfast is good, but resturant does not operate for lunch or dinner. There are a few dining options within walking distance. Overall stay was good, but age is a visible on the property.

The hotel is a bit old and has not been regularly maintained. The rooms are run down and bare. The best feature is a beautiful and quiet sandy beach just across the street. There are not too many dining options around (Oistins Fish Market on Fridays is great). The very friendly and helpful staff makes the experience a bit more palatable.

Worth the try
We enjoyed our stay. The hotel is clean, service is excellent, staff is nice and the free breakfast was good as well (It was the deciding factor in booking). The pool was great as well. The only negative was that the beds were a bit small. Otherwise, we were happy with the hotel.

A great stay!
Friendly hotel that was clean and well staffed. It was great for a 3 star and is reasonably priced for families and couples to be able to come and enjoy Barbados. The rooms are lovely and spacious and clean towels are plentiful. The staff are friendly and courteous.I feel there should be an extra cover provided for the bed as one sheet is not enough. That is the only thing though as we had a great stay on this lovely island!

Check in was easy & quick. Staff are so friendly & helpful. Property is clean. Free breakfast is a nice touch with lots of choice. We had lunch a couple of times & that was great quality & really tasty. Beach is across the road. Quite choppy but very peaceful & secluded. I’d recommend this hotel.
