Mohamed, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

My stay was absolutely horrendous and shocking experience as a Travel Agent from the United States.The staff was very rude and unwelcoming. I noticed the staff was very nice to their UK guest visiting for holiday. I was wearing a jogging suit and was stopped by more than one guest who thought I was an employee. The female employees outside of one Food and Beverage manager wouldn’t serve me. They talked amongst themselves and made rude gestures and comments. I was the only guest visiting from the US. I was visiting only for one night in hopes of finding a new property for my clients. What a waste of time and money to fly so far away to be treated as if my business doesn’t matter to their business. This post won’t stop here, people should know outside of the US Marriott properties aren’t friendly at all.
crystal, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Underwhelming

I booked based on ratings for a 3-night stay. Rooms were ok, but my bedding was rather musty. Television didn’t work, and I asked for that to be remedied right away. Never did get someone to look at it, even after 3 requests. Plumbing ventilation was poor, so every now and again it would wreak in the bathrooms. Coffee maker did not work. Meals were decent, but overall underwhelming. A portion of the sea wall at the property was damaged, so a good chunk of the property was closed off. All the ‘little’ things sorta added up enough in my head to leave an informative review. Service personnel were great overall, so that was nice to see. Wi-Fi was good. All in all, I feel that this is a property that needs some TLC, and perhaps a slightly better menu.
Justen, 3-night trip

Beautiful location

Beautiful location, friendly staff and decent food overall. Our first room was very outdated, AC was making loud whistling sound and toilet was leaking onto bathroom floor. We notified front desk and it was taken care of the next day. Antonia the manager came and found us and said she was aware of the problems and they were going to move us to an upgraded room. The next room was as good as the first room was bad. Much better view, amenities,overall comfort. Very thankful that they took care of us. Free water sports are a definite plus and the beach swimming area is very nice and safe, pools are nice. Overall the food was good but not great. We are vegetarian and our options were completely limited and lacking unless we ate the buffet, which was pretty good. The drinks were good and all included. All the servers were very attentive and sweet. The woman making omelets is a joy! The sister restaurants-Positano and Shiso at the Waves were excellent and I highly recommend eating at the other properties. Water taxi is free during the day but you have to take taxis after 4 pm. Taxis are pretty pricey but if you’re adventurous take the bus it’s only 3.60 Barbados! My only suggestion is that concierges we spoke to were not that knowledgeable and had to look up answers to any questions we had. One last thing the Wifi is pretty bad, but I hate to complain about overall lovely experience!

Fabulous sunsets daily
Anne, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

I read a lot of the reviews about this place and have to say I was worried a bit about l the staff. HOWEVER, in the experience I had, I had to say that the staff had to be the best thing about this place. It was an amazing experience, even one of them. I wish I was better with names, but the two who stood out were the young lady working the front desk on Wed 15th November at 645pm, and the young lady working the desk at Friday 17th November 5pm same young lady on Saturday 18th November 1130am . I have to day the two were very pleasant and helpful. The young lady from Fri and Sat went out of her way trying to get a car rental for me at the last min. I want to say a heart felt thanks to the two of them. Rooms: Had room 333, the room was very clean, with a great view of the sea. It was on the other side of the restaurant. However, it was not a problem as the walkover was just about 1 minute. The building that the room is in seems to be a little dated hallways, feel a little small , however, with some additional lighting, it can feel a little more open. On-site, there is water activity. If you are doing the tubing or sailing, you will need to book. Snorkeling,paddle board, and kayaking are first come, first serve but seem to always be available. Food and drinks As much as the food was a constant supply for an all-inclusive and the drinks never stop. I have to say I was a little disappointed in the opinion. Breakfast I was hoping for a lil of the Barbados breakfast experienc

Reset your energy under the sun.

Great friendly service and a nice location. We had a great time under the sun. This is a sister property of four or five resorts, getting the water taxi to explore other all inclusive sister resorts ia amazing. The water toys are also very nice.

Lovely stay. The staff overall were very friendly. It’s a very relaxed hotel. The inclusive package was very good, easy to eat and drink too much! We had a junior suite overlooking the sea and it was a big room with everything you needed. Overall the hotel is a little tired. We were told it closing for a year in July for total refurbishment and it is needed. The area/road outside of the hotel is very busy and not really ideal for walking along.
Alison, 6-night trip

I thought this property was very quaint and although some areas have wear and tear, the food and staff and size of rooms was a definitely plus. Loved the size of the property and the location.

We checked in yesterday and so far, so good. HOWEVER, Expedia says Tamarind had a hot tub, and it does not. It’s not a huge thing, but it was one of the amenities we considered when booking our hotel in Barbados. I don’t know if this was an honest mistake or not, but either way it’s disappointing
