    -Nothing to dislike per se; but the food on the lunch/dinner menu wasn’t our favorite; more greasy than we like -Check in is pretty late at 4pm but thankfully we were able to check in at 3pm -We encountered some mild nasal congestion while using the AC in our room

    -We really liked the staff- especially Krystal, Troy and Zion. Everyone was friendly and made our stay enjoyable -Location is across from the beach and the hotel gives passes for free beach chair and umbrella which was awesome; didn’t have to pay or lug around stuff -Lots of restaurants on the boardwalk in walking distance -We felt safe here -Balcony was nice -Room was spacious (junior suite) -The overall vibe of the hotel was fun; they have different events during certain nights and it’s just a fun place -Shoutout to the Khalid Spotify playlist during the days. Music was 10/10 -Good wifi

    Frosted Window over bed that backed out to a lit corridor. Very annoying . It was dirty maybe not obvious to most but not hotel standard regards deep cleaning.. all very surface level. Dirty woodwork, old water drip marks on bathroom furniture, you could tell shower not really deep cleaned more a quick wipe . Ate in restaurant first night purely for convenience not great.

    Nice beach across the way. Good breakfast accommodating to vegetarian . Very friendly staff. Gentlemen who brought us to our room vron I think been there 15 years . Lovely man a credit to the hotel and a lovely start. A new bar man started a few days before we left . Such a lovely guy I meant to leave him a cash tip before I left. Bus stop and taxis outside . Very spacious room with kitchen sittimg room big bathriom and bedroom.. Great shower

    The smoke alarm used to beep frequently at night. I guess its our fault that we did not inform the reception about it otherwise they could have sorted it out so no big deal.

    The location is great as it is right in front of the Rockley Beach. There were a bunch of restaurants within walking distance and a small supermarket as well. After having stayed in an airbnb within the residential area during our first trip to Barbados we realised how important it is to stay at a "good" location such as that on a beach where there are shops and restaurants. Barbados unlike European cities does not have a very efficient public transport and cabs can be expensive and hard to get at times. Therefore, a hotel in a good location can be a blessing and I must say that this hotel was one. The rooms were good and comfortable.

    Breakfast was a disaster. Rude staff, all food gone by 8am, fresh omelette being cooked on a gas burner which took forever, so people just queuing everywhere. If you like bacon, and beans and nothing traditional this is for you. Sometimes I ended up buying breakfast afterwards. Pool very small, and when we arrived a certain nationality of people reserved all the sunbeds at 7am, and nothing was done by staff

    Pool seating area lovely, the gym and lounge were really welcoming The room they give you after you have checked out was great idea Front desk staff lovely Room size lovely

    Rooms are ok - a bit tired in general but, we didn’t use the room much so didn’t matter too much 😊 Also slight musky smell in room but, could be due to older air-con!

    Great location Lovely pool area & set up - nice that they come round offering drinks throughout the day Beach walking distance & great set up with beds etc Zion & Zenderya (I think) on reception were amazing & very welcoming and were a credit to the team so I believe they need a personal shout out 🙏🏼 Big spacious room & comfy bed

    If I was being pedantic which I’m not there’s not a great food choice on the daily snacks / light meal bar menu but it’s not a huge issue & there are plenty of eateries nearby.

    Excellent location, nice sized rooms that were cleaned daily & fresh towels supplied if requested. Pool or beach towels & free tickets for sun-beds on the nearby beach were also offered free of charge Very helpful friendly staff, nice outdoor bar & dining area & a very relaxed breakfast & decent choice. We had an issue with the air conditioning in one of the rooms, it took a while for it to be attended to & wasn’t repairable within the time we were there but another room nearby was offered & were given some free drinks at the bar & allowed free late check out as way of compensation which was a very nice touch. I requested a bottle of wine & the room to be decorated when we arrived as it was my wife’s birthday & wanted to surprise her & this was done very very nicely with balloons & a delicious birthday cake beautifully decorated. I’ve stayed in many hotels around the world but this is up there with the best in terms of being looked after by the staff, simply lovely people!

    additional charges not captured by booking.com , had to pay §10 per day for my 13 day stay. facilities such as the bar and restaurant closed pretty early. asking tourist to contribute to charity directly is a let down...keep a box and don't make customers feel pressured.

    members of staff are amazing and extremely helpful regardless of the hour of day. the reception is up all day for any enquiries or assistance. Terina at the front desk was absolutely amazing with advice on how to make the most of your time on the island.

    only getting two sun loungers for the beach despite having 3 people. Umbrella’s not included and had to pay $5/$10 !!! paying for sausages and bacon was a shame as just went without for our stay but assume it’s pricey to ship in.

    Good kitchen facilities, good aircon, nice size balcony and facing the sea ! breakfast was quite which was nice. omelettes and poached eggs we’re fantastic! nice variety of breakfast but you pay extra for sausages and bacon. supermarkets, souvenir shops and food places literally next door! bus stop almost outside the hotel. staff were lovely, helpful and did a boardwalk, giving information! nice pool. get two sun loungers at the beach but not umbrella and still only two even with three of us in a room!

    The staff at the hotel were so friendly and helpful. Our stay went smoothly from start to finish. Our room size was perfect - spacious and clean. The pool area was clean and there was plenty of beds. I loved the location, so close to the beach and bars and restaurants and you could get a bus right outside.

    Bathroom lighting should have a light fixture on both sides of the mirror, (one side was in heavy shadow) The shower gel, shampoo and lotion are too highly scented. The kitchen area was poorly illuminated - the counter top area should be fitted with under-cabinet lighting.
