Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Holetown

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.

This hotel was clean, comfortable, the stuff were professional, they said breakfast, Hal access to computers and a TV room, there was a public swimming swimming pool, access to clean linen and there was also a fridge and small coffee maker in the room

In summary, I’ve been to Barbados several times in a few months this year. Every single time, I’ve had horrible service from staff and the experience of the hotels, (other marriotts included) were borderline unwelcoming. THIS Marriott, on the other hand.. from the moment I arrived. The front desk staff were so welcoming and wonderful. At breakfast, Debrah, she single handedly made my experience the best. I looked forward to waking up just to meet her at breakfast. The staff were so polite, welcoming, and customer service oriented. The bar staff at lunch were wonderful, the cleaning staff were kind, and the general stay was beyond expectations for Barbados. They really upheld the Marriott international standard. Whoever the manager is for this hotel, understands the requirements of Marriott and they control their team the RIGHT way. The hotel was clean, AC worked well, room was comfortable, location was excellent, pool closes at 11pm for the late night swimmers. I would recommend this Marriott over the majority of hotels in Barbados simply due to their efficiency and consistency of service during my stay.

Following a diverted flight due to fly to London, but went back to Barbados, we had nowhere to stay and were exhausted. We made this last minute booking and the staff were exceptional. They managed to turn the room around 4 hours before it was due to allow us to sleep. They allowed us to grab a pass to the pool so we could try and nap on the sunbeds before the room was ready, they helped get us a taxi to the airport. Ultimately they showed an immense duty of care - we will be forever grateful to them for this!

I liked that it was near to places of interest in the neighborhood, it was modern, the food was great, the staff were helpful and pleasant. Can't wait to stay there again. The gym was also an added bonus with a beautiful view of the pool.

Great hotel, staff, food, pool and amenities. Live to go again.
