Thought long and hard before writing this review because we plan to return soon, and would like the rates to stay the same. With that being said, it may have been the best hotel experience we've ever had. We stayed in room 6 (Petite Nevis). It wasn't incredibly large, but had a little two-top table and a vanity with a chair. The bathroom is pretty small, but the shower is a good size (give the water a bout 90 seconds to get hot on the first day).
The staff is excellent. I'm fairly certain that there was a 1 to 1 staff/guest ratio during our entire stay. The staff will do anything for you. They set up excursions for us, brought breakfast to our room on days that we had early excursions, handled rental car arrangements, brought drinks out to the pool, everything. I saw a few earlier reviews about breakfast being sub-par. I'm not sure if the reviewers were very picky(We're not particularly high-maintenance travelers and get a kick out of people making a scene over something stupid) or if the staff worked on this, but our experience was fantastic. We stayed a week, so our stay included breakfast every day (recommended). We did our best to try everything on the menu. I personally liked everything except the Marlin bagel (not badly prepared, the sauce was just not really my thing). People who want to be close to touristy stuff may want to look elsewhere. Enterprise beach is more of a local spot (plus it’s only $1 US to get anywhere in the reggae van). We, however, couldn't have enjoyed it more. The locals are incredibly friendly. The hotel is a very short walk to Oistins. We love fresh seafood, so we ate there three of our seven nights. The staff may be required to tell you to take the "long way" to Oistins after dark, but we found that even the guys playing dominos in the dark alley at 2:00am were delightfully nice. We ate Café Luna twice, and it was pretty good (more on their page). In closing, we are real people that had a blast in Barbados. Feel free to message us if you have any questions. And if the staff is reading this, thanks so much again from John & Wendy (May 2012). We’ll see you again soon!! PS: Sorry about accidentally taking the room keys with us to the airport. It was nice of your guy to come grab them.
