The Club Barbados Resort and Spa

We booked a cruise and stay and just got back today from the club Barbados. Upon arrival we was not off to a good start! Huge ques for check in and many rooms not ready for guests! We waited around for an hour at 430pm in the evening which i think is just ridiculous!! Also the hotel require reservations for food even if its buffet night, personally hated this as sometimes the only times we could get in was 9:15pm! However, food at the hotel was absoloutly gorgeous!! And the rooms were lovely and spacious! Personally the people that made our holiday was Adam and Stephen from the entertainment team, everyday went out there way to talk to us and personally invite us to participate in different activities. Adam was lovely, friendly and full of energy every single day!!! Stephen was so informative and gave us advice and what to do to get the most of our time in barbados! Of an evening the only barman to stand out to us was Elvis and daytime waitor Ryan worked hard day in, day out and always greeted me with a smile! The odd staff member was rude but majority was really nice and couldnt do enough for you! Personally if it wasnt for Adam and Stephen in particular we probably would of found the resort a little boring. I would return just to see the staff mentioned and I would recommend! Thank you for a great holiday!

I thought I did enough research but I guess not. We traveled here November 17-24,2019 and paid a lot of money for a nice second floor balconey ocen suite. Check in at Pearson with Rouge was hectic as the 'computerized' check-in kept breaking down and if your luggage was even 500 gms over you were kiceked out of line. Arrived at the hotel after 4 other drop offs that made the trip over an hour so be prepared for that. We travelled Air Canada, Arrived at the Hotel and first appearances were great. Beautiful sunset first day. Then downhill. Day 2 and Day 3 no power island wide which made things interesting. Took the reggae bus downtown and that part was fun. No stress about feeling safe. Then Day 3 and 4 and part 5 no water!!! Okay now this one I hold the resort responsible for. Management sure smiled and apoligized but nothing in the way of compensation. The Air Canada rep 'Tre' did not even seem to know anything at all. Literally. So do your own research. Then night of Day 5 my wife is yelling from the bathroom when she was getting ready for dinner because our old style hair dryer had actulally caught fire and the room was filling with dense white smoke. I finally got a staff member walking by to come up and then an electrician came. He took the hair dryer away and my wife was very upset by then as I had promised her a great vacation.. Management came and offered to upgrade us? To what? I thought I already had one of the best rooms. By then we just gave up and said all we want is to try and enjoy what little days we have left without something else going wrong at this Elite Island Resort. We have been to Antigua 3 times to Pineapple and St James. If you want to spend your money on old very worn blue lounge chairs, no dinner posting of what they serve for dinner each night, and unrelaible power and water issues with no compensation come here. Otherwise maybe somewhere else. The staff are great don't get me wrong but I did not get my money worth by a long shot. Sorry Barbados Resort not a good showing..

After doing very little research regarding where to stay or what hotel to book, I didn’t have many expectations upon arrival. However, as I arrived I noticed the general crowd was quite mature and wasn’t sure If I had booked the right spot! On arrival check in was pretty smooth and pleasant, checking into our room, we were surprised by the extra large bed, which was very comfy! The room was clean and the shower was decent. We noticed our hotel did not have its own beach but that wasn’t an issue as to the left of the hotel there are stairs which take you down to sandy lane beach which is gorgeous. Food was amazing here, constantly varied and with good flavour. All restaurant and bar staff were super friendly and made a real effort to get to know you. During the day entertainment consisted of various games which allowed guests to mingle. The daily entertainment staff, Corrie, Stephen and Adam were amazing and really made our stay enjoyable, always going above and beyond to meet our needs. True credit to the boys. Everyone was very helpful and very polite, one of my best holidays and I sure have been to many places. The power cuts or loss of water supply really didn’t affect us. For the most part the issue was island wide and therefore not the hotels fault. Staff continued to work in such conditions, esp over the grill in the sunset restaurant so hats off to them. Despite the hotel consisting of maturer guests it really didn’t matter, so don’t let that put you off! Would consider staying here again purely because of the staff that work here, they are a true asset to the club!
