We arrived in the evening after a long flight and we were made welcome from the moment we stepped into the hotel. Atmosphere relaxed, nothing is too much trouble for the friendly staff. Always ask and they bend over to give you what you want. The gardens are pretty, and lead to the small beach. The staff work as a... More

Well, going to Barbados in Jan/Feb for 9 nights was never going to be cheap, but we were determined to make it as cheap as possible. We had 3 absolute musts; a room right on the beach, we didn't want all-inclusive as we like to eat in different places each night, and a great beach for swimming. Discovery Bay has... More

We spent 2 nights at the hotel as we arrived in Barbados early and our booked hotel could not accept us early due to being fully booked. Discovery Bay is probably beyond renovation and requires a full rebuild. The rooms, whilst a good size, are in a poor state of repair. We had an ocean front deluxe, ocean front...yes, deluxe...no...

We have just come back from a weeks stay at Discovery Bay. We read all the comments about the hotel and were curious to see for ourselves how true were all the negative comments left on Trip Adviser.We chose this hotel because we wanted an all inclusive hotel with buffet meals on the west (caribbean) coast, with a garden and...

We have just come back from a two week stay at Discovery Bay. We booked this hotel as we wanted a low-rise all inclusive hotel with buffet meals on the west (caribbean) coast, with a garden and direct access to the beach (not fussy eh!) This was by far the most competitively priced hotel, although having read trip advisor comments... More

Lovely setting. Hotel right on the beach. Shame that the recent refurb has not been finished to a better standard. Paint splashed over the floors and also on the curtains? did they not think to remove them before they started? Only small observation i know but it's the little details that matter and so unnecessary. The bathroom door was in... More

I stayed at this hotel for a week with a friend & had been expecting great improvements following the recent refurbishment -Not quite what I'd expected! This is still definitely a 3 star hotel which could easily be a four star with a few improvements - the rooms are spotlessly clean with a great service from our cleaner but the... More

We arrived here on the 1st of Jan with trepidation having read previous reviews after we had booked. There are some very grumpy people in the world. We are in a first floor, garden view room, it is spacious, has a very comfortable king size bed, coffee machine and cleaned spotlessly daily. The water in the sink was pouring quite... More
