“ Everything you must know about the resort

Samaniii, San Diego, California

Sep 30 2018

Girlfriend and I finally made our way to this gem and wow was it excellent. a little bit about the location of the resort. The resort is situated on the west coast of the island, a quick drive around the island and you can immediately tell this is the best coast of Barbados, as far as calm clear waters perfect for relaxing. the hotel is also from our knowledge the only resort where all the rooms are facing the ocean. yes, all of them. Resort only has about 70 rooms so it's very charming and most of the area as you can imagine is outdoors. So it's gorgeous. Come out in the morning and look for the monkeys. Staff: the highlight of our stay was the staff and overall the people of Barbados. They are genuinely warm and caring and they remembered us every day and greeted as if they have known us forever. I left my phone in the taxi to the hotel. overnight manager contacted the taxi service and Michael, front desk manager in the am continued to call and track it down. he came to us at the beach to tell me he located it and it will be returned soon. are you kidding? leaving your phone in a taxi and have it returned. amazing. you name it and they did it. always with a smile and genuine interest. here are some names. Roberta at the bar, Shane at the beach and Pool. Angela in housekeeping. Shuntel in-room dinning. our water sport guide(I can't remember his name :( ) Michael front desk manager (make him the gm already) and so many others i can't remember now. beach and amenities: Beach is excellent and amenities are very very good as well. loved it all. Good size pool for the size of the hotel and nice and warm water. Plenty of gear for water activities. Food: it wasn't the strongest part of the stay. There are no local dishes really on any of the menu and sometimes you find same items in different menus so you don't have as many choices but the food is fresh and very tasty. Also, Service is very very slow, but it's not due to them not caring. they just have a very laid back mindset and that is part of the service so if you are in a rush, be aware. Cost: for what you get is not bad but you can see the prices so plan accordingly. so overall really the staff and the location of the hotel really is the reason it's getting 5 stars from me. Perfect location. Hospitable people and overall a very nice country
