The staff were wonderful really friendly. The food was excellent I only had buffet once it was a la carte and there was a varied menu every night.

The beach was tiny and you couldn’t take the beds on the beach.

The location in St James was excellent and we were there for the Hole town Festival which we didn't realise when we booked. The staff here are amazing and the reason why many people come back year after year.

The bathroom was very basic but it didn't matter in the bigger picture.

We loved the location right on the ocean and the ease of access in the resort. It felt homely and incredibly welcoming. We were in an accessible room and the facilities were splendid. Staff couldn’t do enough for us and every single one went out of their way to make our stay perfect. There were activities on offer and a gym which Mr L used almost daily (he loved the aircon) The manager, Caroline was fantastic, always had a cheery smile and time for a chat. Nothing was too much trouble. The entertainment was very good, and enjoyable. Food was exceptional. Beautifully presented and so tasty particularly the fish. We preferred to sunbathe by the ocean rather than the pool which is just our preference. Pool area very clean and well maintained plenty of loungers and Staff happy to serve you at your seat. The rooms were cool spacious and very clean. All in all a wonderful place to visit and can’t recommend it highly enough.

There was nothing for us to dislike

It is a very friendly hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would return there.

Young people drinking alcohol in the swimming pool.

Food options were great! Location was amazing! Staff and service was excellent.

Wi-Fi is very inconsistent not enough seating around pool or beach area- folks leave their towels all day and don’t use chairs

It was a great price for an all inclusive resort on the Sandy Lane in Barbados! Yes the crew is a bit older generation and the entertainment program is focused on water aerobics and some live 90s hits performances and yeah the food was good enough (does get boring after a while) BUT we got 5 nights for around $1600! Please note Sandy Lane hotel which is a 3 minute walk charges $2200 per night. You are a 10 minute walk to Holetown with some amazing clear water beaches. We started our days in the gym that conveniently opens at 6am and were lulled to sleep by waves on the lounge chairs. Note we are not big into the party scene and genuinely enjoyed our peaceful getaway. Special shout out to the taxi driver Ian who delivered my forgotten in the lobby carry on straight to the airport 20 mins before boarding:)

Entertainment program was targeting elder guests Repetitive food menu - all the fruits were very tasteless and rubbery so lived off of salads Lounge chairs by the water get taken at 7-8am so if you didn’t get one your only option is by the pool Had to ask to change the sheets twice as they do get sandy fast from the floor. Also shampoos and conditioner were never updated had to ask some on reception.

We had a superior garden room and it was so spacious, also everywhere was so comfortable

Wished there had been a proper beach

We were in an ocean front suite which was really nice with a balcony overlooking the ocean - the room was spacious and very clean - the grounds were well maintained. The beach to the side of the hotel was beautiful and we enjoyed snorkeling right in front of the hotel. The food was above average and there were two restaurants to choose from most nights. Breakfast and lunch were buffet style with lots of options. The bar offered a great variety of drinks. I would like to return one day.

Not much.

The great welcome, fantastic service, and wonderful team who looked after us.

The food wasn't as good as the last few times we've stayed here. Also the people staying here don't seem to understand basic manners and the staff struggle to deal with rude and ill behaved guests. Maintenance seems to be impossible due to the management running the place at full capacity for such a long time, which means basic jobs cannot be carried out.

Great location on prime sea front. Good variety of good each day to suit all tastes. This was our 2nd visit to this location & the reason for the return is the staff & people you meet.

Some members of staff need customers focused training. As this lets down the other team members who go the extra mile. Bar area needs a revamp.
