Very clean and nice pool area and beach bar.. Food was below average, alcohol drinks were just ok. Service was ok. For the price I’ve paid for an all-inclusive resort the food and drinks were terrible. The restaurant Noir dress code is too strict. all white sneakers was unacceptable, no shorts allowed, skin can’t be showing while wearing a dress or skirt. Just entirely too much. Very disappointing experience

The manager was very friendly. The property was very well maintained. Was unable to get into the spa, but the time on the beach was lovely. Probably more fitting for much older guest, but definitely relaxing. The food was not good especially for island cuisine. We did not feel like the overall weight staff or resort staff was very welcoming. I'm not sure if it was because we were LGBT or not, but it felt very unpleasant so we spent most of our time in our room or off the resort. It is a beautiful resort. It has great access to the beach with a beautiful sunset. The rooms were very clean and well stocked for the most part minus wash clothes.

From the 1st day we were treated well. The staff, Sherika amd Ceth was the best their service was simply amazing. They made sure we had everything we needed. Even if we called they immediately send someone or Ceth came hisself to take care of us..the food was marvelous, the drinks were good and the kitchen staff was polite, courteous and respectful. I will surely be coming back to this resort when i plan my next trip. Simply amazing. The staff.was knowledgeable about events on the island and made sure we were able to attend those we wanted to go to. I hated leaving but i had to go home. One of my best vacations

The hotel was clean and contemporary. Food was good- it’s mostly a la carte at ‘On The Water’ restaurant and we were pleased with the options, presentation and taste of the meals. The Sunday lunch was buffet style and it was amazing and dinner at Noir was phenomenal! Staff was accommodating and friendly. It was my first time staying at this hotel and it exceeded my expectations. Most of the beaches are covered in seaweed currently, unfortunately, which masks their beauty.

The property is in need of an upgrade. Not what I was expecting for the money. No amenities to speak of and the meal offering were limited and lack flavor. Don’t get me wrong, the staff was courteous, respectful and very helpful and of course the beech was great. I would not stay here again.

The beach was spectacular and so was the pool. Quality of food was below standards for Barbados and the cost of our holiday. I would say it was par with Cuban resort food. Very disappointed. The only restaurant was extremely disorganized. At the beginning of our holiday you would have to ask for a cup of coffee at least 3-4 times and if you’re lucky you would get it at the end of your meal. We finally realized after about 5 days that you could actually order eggs or omelettes. The scrambled eggs at the buffet we’re sitting in water. ( pretty much like hospital food). The omelette were good but if you ordered over easy eggs, there was nothing runny or even the yolk intact. The toaster never worked properly and you only got warm bread. Anyway, breakfast still was the best meal overall. It was either a la carte or buffet for lunch or dinner. You really never knew what you were going to get upon arrival. I was shocked one day for this high end resort to have a hot dog with fries on the a la carte menu. The girls serving are very nice and polite. The bartenders worked really hard and made excellent drinks despite working directly in the sun beating in on them with no fans or shade. It was at least 35 degrees if not more. I feel that the owner is cutting costs everywhere to save money. The towels in the room were like sandpaper and not very plush. For a newer resort you would expect better towels. Also they advertise robes in the rooms for guests but that’s not true.
