Mullins Heights is lovely, relaxing and just bursting with nature!!!! We stayed for 2 weeks and found it to be a great base for our first trip to Barbados. There is a supermarket in Speightstown (about 2 miles) and a larger one about 4 miles in the other direction in Holetown. The petrol station is handy at the bottom of the road for milk etc. We hired a car but there are loads of buses just down the road. The villa was clean and well presented and any problems we had were sorted out straight away by the lovely maid Cathy. Eventhough there were other people staying in Villa 2 and also in the penthouse upstairs, it was quiet and totally chilled! We found the restaurants on the West Coast hideously expensive so it was great to be able to BBQ around the pool! When we did eat out we discovered Just Grillin' in Holetown which was delicious and affordable and also the Chinese restaurant which is a 5 minute walk from the villa, was good too! We visited in August and noticed quite a few local eating places were closed as owners were on holiday too. Mullins beach is a 5 minute walk and ,as with everywhere we visited, had that wonderful laid back Bajan atmosphere- as well as crystal clear water and amazing fish!!!! All in all we had an amazing holiday and enjoyed every minute!!! It's not every day you can lounge by a swimming pool and watch a troop of monkeys wander past or lie on a beach and watch a turtle hatch and scuttle off into the sea!!!

My father and I stayed here for just one night in transit from Dominica to the UK. The flexible attitude of the owner Ricky and his welcome and welcome rum punches made the experience very relaxed and easy. Clean and very comfortable accommodation with great views to the sea and a perfect Caribbean sea breeze blows through the apartment. Plenty of room to chill, watch the birds or to have a dip in the swimming pool. Close to the beach, restaurants and small grocery store. This was, for us, a 5* experience and the perfect way to be 'in transit'. I will definitely be back with the whole family and stay for a longer vacation. Don't hesitate, really, just book it!

Was only there one night unfortunately, Rick the owner really looked after us, saw the monkeys come down into the garden early in the morning. Rick recommended places to go and restaurants and bars nearby, he even joined us for a rum punch. Would be a great place for large family or group of friends to take over the whole place, pool area with music, barbecue, even a dart board.

Amazing house looking down towards Mullins Bay, only 2 mins walk away. Situation and design of the house was very unique and impressive. Well fitted and kitted out kitchen, bedrooms. A.C. In all bedrooms was great (although was not working in one room despite attempts to get it fixed by owners). Central area has high roof and large window front looking out over the Mullins and the ocean. This was very warm in the day, despite sea breeze to cool things. Enjoyed night time dips in the underwater lit pool.

Private pool near spa nice no kids relaxing xxxxxxxx

Loved our stay at The Tamarind. We had a huge room off the adult spa pool with a patio and view of gardens and ocean. Incredibly comfortable bed and kept very clean with beach towels left in the room daily. Food was superb, could possibly do with more vegetarian options. Buffet some nights and themed a la carte. All the staff were hard working and friendly. Liked the pool ambassador getting drinks occasionally and handing out ice lollies in the afternoon. We enjoyed the free water sports and the water taxi to other hotels in the group was a real bonus- we went to Waves for lunch one day. Very different hotel and we preferred the Mediterranean style of the Tamarind and the fact it was spread out along a couple of beaches giving a spacious feel. Sea was really warm and we saw loads of fish just off the beach when snorkelling. I know the hotel is due to be refurbished but nothing detracted from our stay. Would definitely return.

We spent a week at Tamarind with 3 generations of our family. The rooms are well appointed, clean and spacious. The facilities cover all you could want from a Caribbean all inclusive hotel - 3 great pools, beach front access, 2 places to eat, bars that have an extensive drink menu but will make you off-menu drinks too, fabulous watersports. The food is diverse and tasty and there is a kids menu available for any picky eaters. The dine around and water taxi options make it easy to add a little variety to the holiday without needing to spend any money beyond the all inclusive price. But what really makes this hotel special is the staff - Deon and her amazing milkshakes, Ether at breakfast, Amanda in the pool bar at lunch and David on the watersports boat - they really do go the extra mile to ensure their guests have a memorable holiday.

we had a wonderful time, wish we could have stayed longer. The staff were amazing, so very helpful. Our rooms were clean and comfortable. The pools were very clean and plenty of chairs around the pool area to sit. The food was very good and the drinks were great. We ate at Positano to celebrate our daughters birthday and it was amazing. Ordering a cake for the dinner was easy and delicious as well. All in all we had an amazing time and would go back again.

Loved the property, it was a lot bigger than I expected. Make sure if you visit you see all 3 pools as they are located in different areas of the hotel. Our room was nice and spacious, my only concern was where the air conditioner was placed in the room as this became bothersome while laying on the bed. The staff was particularly great, Anthony the bellman was personable and brought us complimentary rum punch on arrival. We also had the pleasure of dealing with Ether, who had a great personality as well. The variety of breakfast foods was great it included fresh fruit, omelets made to order and either pancakes or waffles just to mention a few items. Destini who checked us in was great too, she gave us local suggestions on where to eat. In regards to the watersports, I wasn't too clear on what was included with the room rental. We did use the water shuttle that travels in between the properties twice, it was a beautiful boat ride. We did notice the staff giving out complimentary fresh fruit by the poolside. In regards to the beach at the hotel, the water was beautiful however the ocean is rocky we did not see any seaweed while we were there. I did take a morning walk on the beach which was nice, many locals walk the beach in the morning I noticed. There are a convenience store and gas station directly across the street. The bus runs right in front of the hotel. I would return to the Tamarind Hotel in the future.

Rooms. Staff, food, location, extremely relaxing place to stay !

Small, recently refurbished hotel on the west coast. Beautiful location. The staff were welcoming from the moment we arrived, management very much in evidence throughout our stay. Rooms were spacious and very comfortable. The food was very good, plenty of choice each day. We had GF and dairy free dietary requirements and the chef and staff were incredibly helpful from the start. Bar was well stocked. Rum punch always a winner for us but the cocktails were very good too. Local crafts were on display to purchase on number of days.

Fabulous! Small boutique hotel feeling throughout the property and efficient, friendly service. Everywhere is clean and well maintained. Our room was bright and fresh. Plenty of storage. The food is excellent! Huge range of delicious food that exceeded our expectations. The service from all the ladies waiting on tables was excellent. We felt their service was personal and professional. Drinks service was generous and plentiful with international brands. Poolside service was helpful, pleasant and frequent. The pool area was small but there were always sun-beds available and we helped ourselves to pool towels throughout the day whenever we needed fresh ones. We loved the live music in the evening during dinner and the friendly vibe from the mainly British and English speaking guests at the bar in the evening was a bonus! We enjoyed the complimentary boat shuttle to the other hotels in the group. Just took the boat for the ride and enjoyed seeing the coast line. The all-inclusive package felt premium and there weren’t any areas that we felt could be improved upon. Oh! Would have liked a full length mirror in the bedroom!

Just got back from a 6 day vacation in Barbados. My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel, and overall we had a lovely experience. The hotel itself is small, about 30 rooms. We got lucky with the fact that there weren’t a lot of people at the resort, due to it being off season. One night we were even the only couple there which we thought was great. We had the whole resort to ourselves. It says on the website you can go to sister hotels for dining, but the only one available is the Waves… everything else is under construction. There is hotel construction currently happening next door at the neighbor hotel, but it didn’t bother us. The noise wasn’t loud so we had no issues. We thought the service and hospitality was great, everyone was really friendly and catered to our needs. There is only one small restaurant at the resort, I would probably rate the food 7/10. My favorite dining time which I thought had the tastiest food was lunch. They had live music, one person singing, 2 of the nights we were there. The room overall was nice and decent, we had a nice ocean view. Heads up there is a tiny strip of beach associated with the hotel, nothing crazy. In order to get chairs on the beach, you would have to ask someone to put them there for you. But there really isn’t much room, but overall if you’re not picky, it’s still very manageable. The hotel is about 25 minutes from the hotel. Overall, for the price we paid to stay during low season, I thought it was a good deal.

Very cool architecture, beach access and good food options as well as a really well equipped gym. The rooms had a good size and from most of the rooms you can access the pool directly which is a great feature

Loved the staff all of them were amazing Great rooms with steps down to the pool BAR STAFF FABULOUS RAMON ANALIS RICHARD 🥰 Monday night was dj Radar really good night

Clean room. Nice pool, garden and beach. Very good breakfast.

Food was better than expected. Staff could not be more helpful. Carrying our bags where there was a need. ( lots of steps) The bed was enormous and all so clean everywhere. Highly recommend.

Very tidy, clean, & homely & then seasoned, garnished & topped up with the creativity of nature! Atimes difficult to know which comes first: The people of the land or the land of the people!

View from the room was incredible and way above what we expected. Our room was cleaned daily. Plenty of sun loungers available on the beach and by the pool. Access to local places were easy to navigate. The security guard on the beach was very friendly and helpful with recommendations of where to watch the game. We were able to book an amazing boat tour through the hotel which we really enjoyed too.

Oh my I do not know where to start. First, I absolutely love this hotel. Honestly I can not find any negatives about our stay. The room was great. AC worked well. Shower powerful and hot. The food was fantastic, thank you Executive Chef Kelli ! The drinks were good and plentiful. Finding a place either by the pool or on the beach was NO problem at all. Plenty of lounge chairs. The beach is awesome. The pool is awesome. If one would like to venture away from the hotel there are several bus companies that go right by there. Walking to other places is no issue either. Upon check-in we were offered a rum punch. Excellent. I will likely return to this hotel. I really like it there. May I mention great people I met: Linda, Kelli, Amanda, Nakita and other staff members. Everyone very friendly and provided excellent service. One note: The rooms are on multiple levels and I did not see an elevator.

second visit in last 12 mths with a group of friends. We stayed in June 24 for the world cup cricket and had such a good time we returned to celebrate my daughters 30th birthday. Some of us had a pool deck room which was excellent. pool bar fab as was the beach bar with live music during the day. We all found the food really good both at the hotel, beach bar and at Jakes.Staff provided a small birthday cake and sang happy birthday on the day!Shame the bar closed at 10.30pm as i feel 11pm gives you more of a chance of a nightcap when you have been out for the evening. Found all the staff good fun, as well as the security guy who was a great bloke. Even the resident cat joined us on the balcony in the mornings ! We will be back soon

A wonderful choice for the price. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Nice and spacious room overlooking the beach and pool for a great price. Fantastic pool area, great bar and restaurant. Highly recommend.

We had a apartment across the road from the hotel it was really lovely and big and clean , the bed sheets were fresh and white and the bed so comfortable, air con lovely and cool , fridge in room and room cleaned daily and before mid day each day we were impressed Hotel in nice location a few bars and restaurants really close by and busses going to Bridgetown , st Lawrence gap and everywhere basically Pool nice , plenty of sun beds and set on a beautiful beach . We had a great time and considering it’s a hotel on the cheaper scale it was lovely and we’re very fussy My only little negatives are it’s set in a noisy street lots of traffic noise and noise from the bar so if this bothers you it might be a problem but no issues from us we did not mind it And if you have any mobility issues there are lots of steps to the pool and beach We loved this hotel And would definitely stay here again

The room was cosy and spacious, the resturant and grounds (including the swim up pool) where out of this world. Beautiful views looking out to the coastline and the added touch of real life peacocks made our stay magical. Cannot believe this hotel is in the heart of the South.

A very unique property. If you are looking for accommodation out of the ordinary, it’s very quaint. The food is also very good, the staff are very friendly. The pool is heavenly , it almost felt like your own pool. The rooms are large and comfortable.

The Sweetfield is a unique property with charm. Each room is different. We stayed in 2 rooms while there with very different ambiance. The hotel & rooms are very clean and staff are friendly. The Island room is large, bright with natural light & located in the main house upstairs. The Hummingbird room is in another building smaller and quite dark, but with advantage of large outside deck, swing bed & easy access to lovely rock lined pool. Pool is very refreshing & surrounded by vegetation! The good news is the hotel is set away & isolated. The bad news is that hotel is set away & isolated. Depending on your interests & taste, Note, unless you’re driving you can’t walk anywhere & need a bus or taxi.

Sweetfield Manor is a beautiful little paradise in Barbados; it's the kind of place that is a destination unto itself. The grounds are lovely and peaceful, with a pool surrounded by greenery, wild peacocks roaming, a koi pond, great covered seating areas (open to the breeze), and a decent restaurant. I think for us the part that got the most use was our porch, which had a swinging bed, table, sitting area, and greenery everywhere. The staff are laid back and very helpful. We had a really really nice stay. Our room was air conditioned and had wifi, which we could generally access from the porch as well. A few notes which did not detract from our stay at all, but may be helpful to know: it is about a 20 minute walk from the hotel to the beach, which feels a bit long in the heat. We didn't find a supermarket nearby and so got our groceries from town (a long walk or relatively short bus/cab ride away). However note that in Barbados you can also order food in using their national "Hopscotch" delivery service, which is like Uber Eats. I highly recommend Sweetfield Manor!

Thank you to Sweetfield Manor and the entire team for an unforgettable stay. We truly enjoyed our time, thanks to the exceptional service and warm care provided by the staff. The food was delicious, and the picturesque surroundings — enhanced by the charm of roaming peacocks — added a magical touch to the atmosphere. The view from the property, especially during sunset, was absolutely breathtaking and offered a serene panorama of the town at any time of day. The pool gave us the feeling of being in a lush jungle — refreshing and emotionally uplifting, especially during light rain showers. Staying in The Carriage House felt like stepping into the elegance of the 18th century, with all the comforts of modern design. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, and the high ceilings and large, cozy bed made for the most restful sleep — like a baby in a cradle. Every meal was a delight, with melt-in-your-mouth flavors, and the afternoon tea on the patio brought joy to both early mornings and late evenings. We loved it so much, we’ve already booked again. Looking forward to celebrating our next special occasion with you soon!

We stayed in a queen room for a week in February, and had a most enjoyable time. The hotel has a total of 20 very similar bedrooms, situated on 2 floors, all with balconies looking down the street towards the sea. Our room was very spacious, had a large comfortable firm bed, and good air-con. Everything worked well. The hotel is situated in a quiet residential area with very little traffic, yet only 5 minutes walk to the seafront and a selection of bars and restaurants, and regular buses along the coastal road and to Bridgetown. It's a further 20 minute walk along the boardwalk to the spectacular Rockley Beach, which we visited on several days. The hotel has a large pool which was excellent for swimming; most of the time the pool was deserted - it was like having your own private pool. Breakfast usually consisted of 6 cooked items plus fruit, cereals, yogurt, toast, jam etc. The scrambled egg was excellent. In the evenings a limited dinner menu is provided - we enjoyed eating there and it was good value. The gourmet meal which they offer on Friday nights was excellent. The hotel is attached to a training college for students in hospitality, consequently the service at breakfast and dinner was rather haphazard due to the staff being a bit nervous and inexperienced. A bit of patience and understanding helped smooth things along. The hotel has a very peaceful ambience and the bar/restaurant shuts early in the evening. If you're wanting a lively time you need to look elsewhere!

Liked, the awesome staff so friendly and courteous. Excellent location to beach, bars, and restaurants. Delicious breakfast, omelette, and toast cooked to order The large, airy clean, bedroom, and bathroom. Dislikes, this hotel could so easily be a 4* with a few tweaks. A great pool area, but only 2x sunbeds and 3x mattresses, that don't get taken in when it rains, so they remain soaked for hours until they dry, all the chairs pads are soaked too, so you can't sit out. More umbrellas are needed near the sunbeds too, because of this, no one hardly uses the area and the pool area is one of the reasons we chose this hotel, shame really. Teeny tiny pastries, these are not breakfast croissants. You have to ask for a hairdryer, not standard in your room. Balcony furniture could do with an upgrade. Maintenance- leaf blower man, out every day at 6am, guess what time we're wide awake !!!

Lovely room, super pool. Restaurant was a great location overlooking the pool.

The hotel was perfect for what we needed for a pre and post cruise stay. It is a little different to most hotels in that it also part of a hospitality staff training institute so a little unique. It is a very attractive building with a courtyard and swimming pool in the centre. We found it peaceful and relaxing during our stay and it is in good location.

Great hotel in a nice location - Shops and beach are near by. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, very comfortable and most of all it had AC. The swimming pool is a nice addition. I would be happy to stay longer and I can truly recommend this hotel

We liked everything. Staff amazing. Accommodation Fantastic. Pool excellent. The Hospitality room is great. It Meant that we could still have a swim after checking out and still shower and relax before taking our taxi to the airport. Have been to Barbados many times and the overall Package of Hotel, Staff , pool. Cleanliness, rooms makes it 1 of our best stays ever.. many thanks Worthing Court for a fabulous Holiday 😎

Free Double Upgrade to a larger Apartment overlooking Pool. Free use of Room for Free Internet use, and for storing Luggage safely for afternoon departure. Also able to use Swimming Pool before afternoon departure, together with free use of Shower/Changing Room before afternoon departure.

The pool area while small is quite nice, I particularly like that the pool has a deep end which is hard to find at hotels. I didn't love that there was no elevator when trying to lug your luggage up and down to your room, but luckily you only have to do that twice.

We totally enjoyed our stay at Worthing Court due to the amazing staff & comfortable apartments. Due to a flight change, we had to book another night & because the studios were all sold out, we booked a one bedroom apartment. Chris quickly checked us into a ground floor one bedroom suite with a furnished patio which was right next to the pool & restaurant. The next day Shaq helped us to the studio which we both enjoyed more. It was on the top floor, room #302 & had a huge furnished balcony. We enjoyed the layout of the room with the kitchen, seating area & bedroom all in one. The bed was a king sized bed & very comfortable. We had everything we needed to self cater although the very first morning we decided to eat at the restaurant & were served a lovely fish breakfast made by Joy & made an instant friendship with Jo-Ann who always made sure we had everything we needed. This became the norm for our breakfasts as we totally enjoyed the beautiful start to our day. They also served lunch but we were always out discovering either on foot or one of the many buses out front . We did however enjoy the Tuesday night buffet that also came with entertainment from Mr. Impact. It was lots of fun listening to him sing & dancing to his calypso & reggae tunes. The hotel was very clean & we totally enjoyed Miss Sheila who made sure our room was sparkling & we were not for want. It's an easy walk to Tri-mart or Massey stores. Many thanks to all of you who made our stay so lovely.

The apartment was clean and good size,it had all the essentials you need to enjoy the stay. Big comfortable bed, big wardrobe. The staff were all super nice, reception and kitchen. Food was also very good, homemade. Pool gets a bit of shade which is perfect if you have kids who love being in the water the whole time. Very near supermarkets, eating places, nice beaches. Bus stop just outside. Hospitality room with shower for when you check out, and the flight is late. We met a few "regulars" who come once a year, which is a good sign. Really enjoyed our stay, would go back! Thank you!

The EXCELLENT, which outweighed the not so great. The welcome tour and welcome drink. Beautiful white sandy beach and calm swimming area. No sargassum seaweed. The swim with the turtles. The lounge area by pool and beach. Great view of the sea and no issue getting lounge chairs. Fresh milk in the fridge for coffee. Our lobster and lamb chops entrees and the smoked fish at breakfast, were some of the best we ever had! The treats of sorbet and fruit, while sitting at the pool and the 4pm Tea time. The lovely matching Cobblers Cove china and Cobblers Cove menus, notes, etc. The NOT SO GREAT: Communication responsiveness and helpfulness of staff when we were booking and before arrival could have been better. Our initial room was unbearable with regards to the noise level coming from the reception area and street traffic. Luckily they were able to move us to another room that was deeper into the property, which made a big positive difference, where we could thoroughly relax and enjoy listening to the frogs and birds. The bed was supposedly a king, but too short for us. We had trouble adjusting the temperature in the room (complicated AC remotes; maybe an instruction guide would be useful). The food was pricey. Service at the restaurant was spotty. On our second day, my husband was done eating breakfast before I got my omelet. Smoking is allowed on the property, so at times we had to contend with it while we were lounging by the pool and beach areas.

Beautiful hotel right on the Caribbean Sea, an absolute rest cure for us. The interiors and the gardens are stunning, and every attention to detail is there, absolute 5* housekeeping and comfort. We chose to stay on site for our entire week, relaxing by the swimming pool, enjoying the delicious local food at breakfast and dinner. The restaurant is fine dining, yet so healthy due to the local foods and the creative chef. Afternoon tea is served in the afternoons (complimentary), and the poolside service of bar drinks and complimentary fresh fruits and sorbets is lovely. We were exhausted from a busy winter and spring and left feeling absolutely well-rested and rejuvenated. A complete balm to our busy lives. We've already booked to return next year. If you're considering this property, and you enjoy beauty, relaxation, fine dining and feeling completely healthy and serene do not hesitate. The management does a fantastic job and the staff are so friendly, they see to your every need. Highly recommended.

This was our second stay Cobblers Cove and we loved it so much that we are going to book for next year. Last year was all about exploring Barbados as it was our first time to visit and the wonderful reception team organised a fabulous guide who we ended up using for three tours to different parts of the island. This year was about family as although Cobblers Cove is mainly adults only, they honoured our booking for our son, wife and their 5 month old daughter. All of the staff were so welcoming and kind. We had a wonderful time once again and spent more time on site, enjoying the peace, the beach and pool and sounds of the ocean. The food at Cobblers is excellent with a different menu each day and barbecues on Tuesdays and Sundays. So good! The staff members in the restaurant are so friendly, efficient and certainly well trained. The bar staff are also great and make a mean rum sour. I can highly recommend the spa where I had a wonderful massage and facial. Do book early though as Carla gets booked up. Our son and his wife used the gym most days and said it was well equipped and air conditioned. I cannot recommend Cobblers Cove highly enough. We can’t wait to return next year.

Absolutely love this hotel. It has only a few dozen rooms, but the services it offers guests are unmatched by much larger resorts. Set on a beautiful white sand beach, this charming hotel oozes sophisticated Caribbean charm and luxury. The staff are some of the friendliest and helpful I have encountered. From the welcome drink, to the wet towels and fresh fruit served poolside, to the amazing lounge musicians, to the half an hour per day of included water sports (I opted for snorkelling with sea turtles one day and water skiing the next), the service is world class. The included breakfast is a la carte and incredible. Had dinner here twice and the food is top notch (I think their lobster bisque was the best I have ever had. The bartenders are very generous with their pours. We stayed in the “Mile and a Quarter suite” which was lovely, brand new with a private lanai overlooking the sea. The hotel is expensive, but in my opinion, you get what you pay for (perhaps more given how amazing this hotel is). My only complaint, which is so minor I am hesitant to state, is that I forgot my toothbrush and the hotel charged me a few bucks to supply me one. Seemed odd given everything else about this place.

I had never been to Barbados before and booked Cobbler’s Cove base on a combination of 1) good reviews and 2) price point (i.e., reasonable to other properties such as Sandy Lane, Fairmont). This hotel is a gem! The property is so charming with a very West Indies chic vibe. My suite was spacious and so nice and there was a lovely pool area with nice lounge chairs (despite not being “on” the beach). The staff was so friendly - the daily free boat ride was great and they set up a great hiking excursion for me and gave me great recs for exploring the island. During my stay I visited some of the other hotels I had considered for lunch / dinner and was very happy with my choice to stay at Cobbler’s Cove! It’s a bit north so I didn’t get to explore the south of the island but still saw a good bit. It’s also nice you can walk to a few places during the day (but not at night given the semi-existent sidewalks). Would definitely stay here again - a great place to disconnect for a few days!

You are pampered from the minute you arrive. Porters collect your luggage and get you a rum punch while you check in. They take you and your luggage to your room. Resort itself is amazing. Staff are lovely, friendly and very helpful. Food is delicious and always plenty to choose from. Never used the pool and swim up bar because the beach is so beautiful. White sand and crystal clear water. Sugar bay ensures your every wish is catered for, and I can't wait to return.

Anniversary trip, stayed 10 days. The room was lovely, balcony and on each side. Large and comfortable. Great food, specialty restaurants well worth a visit. Cocktails were very good. Beach small but plenty of space and sunbeds always available. Not really able to swim in sea as a bit too rough. Staff very attentive and polite. Really nice sunbeds by the pool. Four stars due to one down side - pool is not deep at all, it was cloudy when we arrived and by day three you could not see your feet in three foot of water. Very murky. Reported to concierge but no action. Other guests were told it was due to suncreen but that is what the filters and cleaning are for. By day six cleaning took place and pool was clean as it should be, not before we hurt our feet on the ledges inside the pool which you could not see. Had a great holiday.

This resort was perfect for us. To start, transportation from the airport to the resort was extremely easy to book, efficient and not a far drive from the airport. Check in was seamless. Our room wasn’t ready until 4. They do have a room with a changing room, shower, bathroom so you can change and enjoy the day depending when you arrive. All food here is good, which you don’t come by often at all inclusive resorts. The buffet menu changed daily for dinner and lunch. They have two restaurants on the property which were both good. Umi was our favorite - the sushi was 10/10. Children are allowed at this resort and mostly stay at the pool. There is only one main pool and one small pool (which nobody went in). The beach was great, they come and put up an umbrella for you so you don’t have to worry about getting shade. The staff is very nice. All around I would come back. This is the perfect place to relax & a no frills resort.

Just had a fabulous 10 nights at Sugar Bay. The food is great. Who doesn't appreciate eating whilst overlooking the ocean. They catered extremely well for hubby who is coeliac. The drinks are incredible, you have to try the mud slides ( it's a drink not an activity) Spend time at the pool bar making new friends. The pool area is cleaned daily, and there's a nice touch of pool towels on sunbeds. Towels are also provided for the beach and can be changed daily. What makes this place stand out is the staff. Nothing is too much trouble and are all friendly.

My husband and I had a great time here last week. Great location, everyone was so friendly, delicious food - we would definitely come back! We’ve been to many all inclusive resorts across the Caribbean and this one ranks at the top. Pros - I have a gluten intolerance (not celiac) and had no problem with the food here. There was always gluten free bread, muffins, and dessert in a separate section. In the buffet the chefs were so helpful pointing out what was safe, they clearly communicated they use cornstarch instead of flour wherever possible. - There are 2 restaurant on site (steakhouse and Japanese) and because we were there for 6 nights got to eat at each of them once. - We never had problems getting a seat or umbrella at the beach of pool. Could have helped that we were there off peak! Loved that the beach water was calm because it was protected by the reef. We snorkeled directly off the shore and there were lots of fish to see. - We also got a lovely room upgrade with a beach view and separate living room area from the bed. - Service was great, everyone was so friendly. Our room was always kept clean. A few small cons were that the bed was too firm, the pool was a bit small, and the bedding was a bit rough. But other then that no complaints! I would definitely return

A Caribbean home away from home, our one bedroom suite had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a huge well-equipped kitchen so we could take full advantage of the fresh fish from the market across the road. Hotel grounds were well designed and looked after, with 3 great pools a paddling pool for children. Well located on the busy bus route from Bridgetown to Speightstown, and right on Paynes Beach. This part of Barbados has the best beaches and good snorkling, but it is quite residential/access restricted to a few public paths. So whilst there are some local bars/places to eat they are either part of a hotel or need a bit of seeking out. It's not a tourist strip like St Lawrence Gap, which was fine for us but may be a consideration for some.

We stayed in a 3 bed suite and it was beautiful. Rooms were a good size and clean, air conditioning worked perfectly, towels, beach bags, toiletries, bagels in the fridge, coffee and water were complimentary. The back door led to a pool with many other pools, spa and gym on the property. Staff were polite and helped booking taxis. Beach is across the street which was convenient. Hotel is close to some restaurants in the upscale part of the city. The only thing that was a bit of inconvenience was house keeping, reception and restaurant closed early so you had to get everything you needed. Small convenience store shut at 3pm. Overall, a fantastic stay.

The hotel is clean, spacious rooms and in lovely grounds, staff very friendly, attentive and extremely helpful. However, there is very limited dining within the hotel. The Sugan Apple Cafe has limited options (same and little choice for breakfast), lunch and dinner although good quality food again limited with choice. Surrounding area has v few restaurants that are good so requires taxis or bus. Instead of having four pools the hotel could transform some of these into bar/restaurants and keep just one or two pools. This would also liven up the atmosphere. If you are looking for somewhere very quiet and tranquil this is the place. In summary, lovely hotel, but needs more dining options.

Quality apartments in a spacious and beautifully kept site. Decent quality restaurant and hut for coffee and drinks, close to the largest of the 4 pools. Excellent staff. Significant road noise for four of the sea view buildings, and some exhaust fumes noticeable around the two pools adjacent to the road. Separated from the beach by a very busy road, but beach chairs provided for guests. Limited number of other bars and restaurants within walking distance. The site would benefit from an early evening bar for guest to mingle but, overall, a very spacious, high quality holiday site, with excellent staff.

I'm a solo traveler. This place would be 100% ideal for couples or family with children. As a solo guy, it was great for me, but perhaps there is a location in Barbados closer to "the strip" or maybe near the Cruise Port. That being said, this place was 100% perfect for me. My flight was delayed so I paid for a day I wasn't there. On my last day, I asked for a late check out, at 3pm, as my flight was at 6 pm. No problem what so ever! The rooms are luxury. The air conditioner kept it cool, as I like it. The room had a nice balcony with two comfortable chairs and a little table with 2 more chairs. In my mini-fridge, there were two bagels, butter, cream cheese and some milk for coffee. It had a note, "with our compliments". The reception desk folks were very kind. They booked for me a sailing catamaran cruise and a tour of the island, Harrison Cave, animal preserve and Bathsheeba beach tour. he hotel also sets up a shuttle that took us to Oisters (a little town with many food stalls for fish dinners and beers). The hotel had two pools (that I saw) and one near the hotel bar. It was a very comfortable place to chill. Many of the tourists here are British on holiday or honeymoon. I greeted them with a "G'Day Mates!" and had some friendly conversations. There is a gas station about 3 minute walk down the road, so you can stock up on beers, soda, chips and "gas station food". There is a fish fry shack across the street (Friday and Sat nights) and some local eateries.

It was my second visit to Adulo apartments. It is great, basic, clean and very friendly accommodation. On this trip it was surprise to see the added new swimming pool. We did sit by the pool in the quiet gardens a couple of times but the lovely beach is only a five minute walk away. The apartment is situated at the beginning of the boardwalk (on the seafront), this is a lovely walk/run to take. We had a car for the entire trip but it isnt necessary but we do like to explore and visit lots of the lovely beaches that Barbados offers. It is in a good position for local restaurants. The staff are all lovely. The only thing I would of liked to of had offered was a chance to order some basics (ie milk, bread) as we arrived late in the evening.

The Apartment was very clean and the staff was ready to please. The maintenance of the pool and grounds are kept up and clean. Our friend cannot do stairs and immediately our room was changed to accommodate. It was easy access from the unit to the pool with a walker. Parking available for us also. It is a sweet gem.

the staff was fantastic. friendly and very customer oriented. The pool was terrific wi available shade in abd near the pool and lovely sunny areas . great location, walking distance to many excellent restaurants

Adulo apartments should be your number one choice for booking if you're looking for great staff and walking distance to many great places. We ended up at Adulo after a mishap with another booking and I truly believe that was the best worse thing to happen. Lol The property is clean, has a pool, bbq grill and is well secured at night with cameras and a patrolling security guard. Ideal for an island getaway, couples, solo travelers, budget travelers or heading to Barbados for a quick visa appointment. We were able to do the following in 4 days, 3 nights; Us embassy- $20us 15-20mins away The beach- 5 mins away Bubba's- 5 mins away Naru- 10 mins away Oistins fish night- Bus stop 5 mins away $3.50BBD Chefette and Bbq Barn- 7mins away Lots of banks, malls, mini marts all conveniently located in walking distance. On our 3rd day there, we recieved a lovely surprise from the staff. Thank you for going above and beyond and making our day extra special! Guys, what are you waiting for? Book Adulo now!

Everything! Room was comfortable. We were in the studio and we didn't spend much time in it so worked for us. It was clean, bed comfortable, little table to eat at and a lovely balcony. The kitchen facilities were enough to make a nice meal and if anything needed, just ask the staff. They are the best. Always smiling, always happy and interested in your day. They were all willing to help with anything... Taxis, tours, more towels, how to get to places and suggestions. Can't say enough about the staff. Bathroom was nice, updated, clean. The ground well maintained and the pool nice and clean. Always had a lounger although some need updating. Location was great. 10 minutes (slow seniors lol) to get to the main road for the zr busses that will take you to many beaches and restaurants. Around the corner from shakers restaurant which one of our favourite casual eateries. Walkable to stores, restaurants and beaches. Would definitely go back.

We shouldn't be writing this really. Better we kept it a secret and know that there will always be vacant rooms for us. It's a delightful, spotless, self catering, apartment hotel, with pool, an adjacent beach restaurant, and right on a beautiful beach on the west coast. I measured it! I could do the beach from my ground floor room in 14 steps! I could have done it in less, but had to walk round the pool. All the rooms are facing the sea.; The sea just outside the hotel is alive with fish on a shallow reef. My wife and I stayed for two weeks and loved every minute.The days started early with those 14 steps! The beach really is lovely. I still do not know how far along it's possible to walk. After about a mile both ways we turned back. We bought fish from the fishermen on the beach, and barbecued it beside the pool. We swam with turtles, dived on a wreck. and ate at 'Marshall's Bar' a local rum shack and restaurant that is the haunt of the West Indies cricketers. We have been going to Barbados for many years now, and this spotless apartment hotel on the exclusive west coast, with it's lovely staff, has now become our preferred base. We loved it.

There was one family of 5 in room 3 who never supervised their children who constantly screamed the entire time they were in the pool. Finally another guest asked the kids to stop screaming all day long. The quiet lasted about an hour. Their smallest child about 15 mos old,was left by the pool many times without any floatation and eventually fell in the pool. Our room was very clean, but it needs additional lighting, in my opinion.

As described in details. Good basic apartment. Air con worked well which helps when its 32C. Apartments block next to pool which is next to beach. Turtles swimming in sea near by. Room had basic facilities - Microwave, hob, Fridge/freezer, TV, Aircon. Few cooking utensils. Balcony overlooking pool and sea (great sunsets). Location good as in Holetown with Supermarket across the road (pricey). Bus stop outside apartment block (to Bridgetown). Local buses are fun and cheap - 2 Barbados dollars per head for any length of single trip. Several restaurants in easy walking distance. Room Clean and tidy. Staff friendly and helpful. Had two linked room so Kids had own room. Cons: Sound proofing between rooms not great but did not cause an issue. Would recommend as affordable self catering option.

Lovely hotel with the added benefit of being able to do some self catering. Immaculately clean and very friendly staff. Thank you for making our first trip to Barbados so special. Previous reviews comment on the size of the pool but with the beach so close the pool is a bonus for cooling down.

This was our first stay in Barbados after a brief taster last year from a cruise. We arrived at Tropical Sunset early evening. Reception greeted us, showed us to a large well-equipped room on the 2nd floor. It wasn't until the the following morning when we opened those curtains & realised just how close to the Caribbean Sea we were & what a wonderful view we had, how lovely this place was. Grab a beach towel & Curley & the beach guys look after you for the day on the beach (or by the pool if it's a high tide). From 4-7 it's happy hour so the ever-smiling bar-guys will take care of your every need. Zaccio's restaurant has some fabulous mid-priced cuisine, served by a team of the most pleasant girls, in a spotless restaurant right by the sea & it's all open until 11pm. You dont' need to leave the premises! however... We DID leave the premises Massey Store opposite could supply anything/everything we'd need. Opposite the Chattel Village huts, & in the other direction the Designer Limegrove Lifestyle Centre. All around are restaurants. We had no bad experiences in Barbados. Amongst those we visited in Holetown are: Just Grillin' (£), The Beach House (££) Zaccios (££) Spago (£££) The Mews (£££) Sitar (££). Plus the lively weekend nightlife on 1st & 2nd Street - all within strolling distance. Add to this the reggage bus which takes you to Bridgetown/Speightstown for a couple of dollars within 20 minutes, you have the island practically covered from right outside the door.

Private, small community of condos which felt secure, friendly fellow guests, hosts and housekeeping staff, excellent location right near the beach and local bars/restaurants, easy to get to Speightstown and Holetown. WiFi good, nice private pool area. Big bedroom. Get to see monkeys at sunset by the pool!

We arrived much later than expected but Delia was there to warmly greet us and get us settled in. The property is lovely, it's literally a minute walk to a great beach but set back from the road enough to afford a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Our daughter would get up at 6am to catch the monkeys coming down from the trees before they set off for the day (luckily she would then go back to sleep for a bit). Our suite was comfortable and well appointed, kitchen allowed us to cook and save money by not eating out for every meal. Pool is refreshing and well maintained. Convenient mini-market within an easy 5 minute walk. Hopefully we get to return someday as it was wonderful lodging to explore a truly magical part of the island.

Spotless, comfortable, spacious, cool rooms to escape the heat with everything you need and more. Outside kitchen dining area is a lovely place to cook and spend time. Comfortable bed, we slept very well. Excellent, friendly hosts who will always be available for anything/everything but will not bother you. The location is really special, lovely pool and gardens which are clean and very well cared for. Monkeys! Should also say, very convenient if you're using the bus. The whole team here worked so hard but also were very happy and friendly. I'm trying to keep this concise but could write an essay about how good The Legend Garden Condos were to us - thanks for an excellent birthday 😘

Delia & Bird made us so welcome right from the start and during our whole time with them, They couldn't have done more to make us feel part of the family, as did all the staff. Such a relaxing place to stay, great apartments - a real home from home, lovely swimming pool and the location is absolutely fantastic, set in an old plantation with lots of beautiful trees and flowers. Snorkelling on the beaches just a short walk from the apartments was stunning with turtles in the sea and an amazing array of fish. Really hope to come and stay again very soon !

Everything was just right. You had air conditioning at night so could sleep well. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable. The tv channels and wifi were excellent. If you forgot something or it wasn’t in the apartment then our hosts Delia and Bird were able to supply the item. Outside you had access to a pool area, gardens and BBQ and tables. Monkeys wandered on by daily. Delia and Bird are gorgeous and welcoming hosts nothing was too much trouble, their BBQs lovely and their knowledge of where to go fantastic.
