Absolutley loved our stay. Everyone was very friendly and always helpful. Room was clean. Restaurant was amazing and a wonderful view, and we especially loved our server Britney. She always took time to give our daughter special attention and went out of her way to make conversation with her. We will definitely be back.

I was very excited to return to Barbados after a wonderful time in the summer. I went to stay at the Coconut Court and had the most amazing time and was excited to receive the same warm Caribbean welcome. However, this time was not great. Pro: The hotel is on one of the best beaches in Barbados. Next to downtown (30 min walk) and near the busses. Cons: Hotel is really dated and falling apart. There are chunks out of the side of the building and floor boards in the stairs falling apart. Very pricey for what you get. Almost $550 CAD regular room rate in March, 2025 when you have options like all inclusive for around $800. Service was very poor all around. Bartenders did not want to serve you drinks, out of half the things on the menu and front desk staff was the rudest I have ever encountered anywhere in the world. Upon questioning a tax charge that I was not made aware of upon check in, she got very angry and did not explain it well and started to raise her voice. Overall, if you can get a cheap rate, it would be a decent place to simply sleep. Do not expect a resort or resort style experience at this place.

We had a fantastic stay at the Radisson in Barbados! While we initially had a mix-up with our room (due to our tour operator, not the hotel), the receptionist was absolutely amazing in sorting it out. The next day, we were moved to an incredible room with a full, unobstructed view of the sea, beach, and pool area—definitely worth the switch, as our first room also overlooked a construction site, which wasn't as appealing. The real highlight of our stay was the wonderful staff. Shane, the poolman, was absolutely fantastic! His smile is infectious, and he made us feel so welcome, always going out of his way to help everyone on the beach. We also loved the bartender, Adam, who was so friendly and welcoming. He and my partner had a great time bonding over British football—his knowledge was seriously impressive! The restaurant was decent, though service could be quite slow, especially at dinner. The staff were kind but seemed overwhelmed. Personally, I found the lunch menu better than dinner, so I’d recommend it more for midday meals. If you're looking for a quick meal, this might not be the best option, but the food itself was good. The hotel itself does feel quite rundown and could use some serious renovations, especially on the exterior. The pier that extends into the water looks damaged—likely from a past hurricane—and really needs repair. From the beach, the hotel doesn’t look as appealing, which is a shame because the location is absolutely perfect! One thing we really appreciated was the checkout experience. Since we had a late flight, the staff kindly provided a room for us to shower and freshen up after spending the day on the beach, which was a lovely touch. The bell boys were brilliant and super helpful as well. Overall, we definitely recommend staying here—especially for the amazing staff, perfect beachfront location, and welcoming atmosphere. Just wish it had a bit of a facelift! We’d definitely return.

There is a little decay in the building, which is unfortunate. That is a “Radisson the corporation” issue, and shame on them for being so lax. Everything else gets 7 out of 5 stars for us. The people were beyond wonderful. The service was top notch. The food in the restaurant was delicious. We will absolutely be going back.

Excellent hotel, we received very good service from Gisele at the front desk who was very helpful and very friendly. Derien was also very good, he took great care of a minor pool injury I had during my stay. The hotel is right on the beach, rooms are perfectly fine and everything was amazing. The restaurant staff need to be trained on better customer service some of them were quite rude and not very accommodating for simple requests but otherwise okay.

Our first time to Barbados. The hotel we stayed in is called The Rockley and the staff there are wonderful. We honestly felt like family by the time we left. Nothing was too much trouble. The facilities in the hotel include a gym, lounge, and bar. There's also a restaurant but we mostly ate outside in the bar area. The beach across the road from the hotel, who provide you with beach towels for the beds. There is also many shops, bars and eateries within 5 minutes of the hotel so it's a perfect place to stay. We are already looking at opportunities to come back and stay!

The Rockley exceeded my expectations! The pictures absolutely dont do justice of the beautiful ambiance and vibe of this place. It was my first time in Barbados and everyone was so hospitable and warm. The staff always had a smile on their face and never passed you without a greeting. The area was absolutely safe and accessible to other resources. I traveled solo and The Rockley contributed in making it an amazing and unforgettable experience

Graham Burge

Loved our stay at the hotel. Quirky decor and very friendly staff. Rooms were big with a small kitchen and a spacious lounge area. Beach opposite with a lovely boardwalk that you could walk along. Taxis opposite and bus stop nearby. Plenty of places to eat at nearby, varying in cost.

Glenn Shaw

Lovely hotel with friendly staff. Great location, 100 yards to the beach, reserved sunbeds, and umbrella. Close to local eateries and bars. With Bajan's love for saying hello with a beep from their cars, it can be a little noisy during rush hours, but it's a happy toot, not angry. Large rooms with double bedrooms, kitchenettes, large showers with double basins and lounge areas. Also, a balcony. More of an apartment than a room. Great breakfast, with more than enough choice. Egg chef will cook your egg to perfection (and sing to the background music while doing so), and the peanut butter is to die for! Will definitely stay again.

This is definitely not a 4 star hotel for multiple reasons. First, breakfast is of very poor quality. For our 5 day stay we ate there once never to return again. Coffee was disgusting. Second, to get to the ocean you need to cross a busy road and then a parking lot with a bunch of local taxi drivers and just people loitering in that area -- drinking, smoking, etc. Third, bar personnel is rude and dismissive. The cherry on top was a 5-9:30 karaoke in their entertainment agenda. Hotel staff said it would finish at 9, but it just kept going. The sound is cranked up all the way and a bunch of drunk people shout for more than 4 hours and you can hear every word in your room. Most of the people signing are not from the hotel, as there is no security at all to get to the bar. We have complained about it multiple times, but nothing was done. I take it the bar sales are more important than the comfort of their guests.

Not a pleasant experience. Not kid friendly especially food wise, late night music right in front of your room. Some staff are trying, but service generally is poor. The best staff member is maintenance guy, who resolved our issue instantly! Room is fine, leaking faucet that drips to the floor can be tolerated. Food is average, breakfast is fine, lunch is below average, we never had dinner here as we wanted to have good food at least once a day. Very limited parking, first come first serve.

Just back from 10 days at the Island Inn. We loved the character and history of the hotel. Yes, it’s a little tired in places but kept very clean. Situated just a couple of minutes walk from Pebbles Beach and convenient for bus routes. Staff looked after us so well and some gave up their families to stay with us during Hurricane Beryl….we were fed and watered as normal and felt very safe. Food was very good with something for everyone; any allergies also catered for. Bedroom sizes seem to vary but we had a large twin with two queen beds and big bathroom. Bed very comfy. We loved sitting in the communal areas and getting to know other guests. Staff and guests were one happy family and we would go back there in a heart beat…..thank you to all at Island Inn for helping to make our Barbadian adventure so much fun and so enjoyable 🏝️

3* Hotel with 5* service. We had a wonderful week at the hotel. Food was fabulous, a different menu every day . Great bar with a good selection of well known brands. Entertainment on alternate nights. Well placed for exploring. Buses and taxis on your doorstep. Also able to use facilities at sister hotels The Sands and Mango Bay which was a lovely added bonus. Walking distance to Bridgetown and to the race track if you fancy a flutter. Great beaches just moments away. We purchased snorkel equipment at a pharmacy shop in Worthing which was better value than renting at the beach. The staff were all so friendly, from maintenance to reception, bar to kitchen and room cleaning. Nothing was too much trouble. We needed to hold our room for extra time as we were on standby flights and the manager was so helpful and made it much less stressful. A really wonderful small friendly hotel that I would return to in a heartbeat. Thanks to all at Island Inn.

Just got home from a 7 day long family vacation at the island inn. The junior suite was lovely and spacious, it was a little tired and the air con wasn’t working well but was clean and perfect for us. The beach is about a 2min walk away which was worth it as it was the best beach in Barbados (we spent 2 full days at two of the sister hotels during our stay and even though they were both actually located on a beach they weren’t nicer beaches than the one located near the island inn). We would highly recommend getting a snorkel and snorkelling around pebbles beach it’s amazing! The pool was small and could get busy during the day which we didn’t mind as the beach & sea was so close. The food was great we all ate so much and have definitely put on a few pounds 😂 the only criticism regarding the food as I am a vegetarian the options were quite limited some days there was no veggie option. The only negative for us really was the service was very hit and miss some of the staff were friendly and helpful, however others were the complete opposite. We found a few of the staff were completely unfriendly and would huff/roll their eyes if you bothered them! After experiencing the customer service at the sister hotels we would probably chose to stay at one of them when we return!

Would not recommend staying here, while the location, views and beach are top notch. Overall, the hotel struggles with cleanliness and staff friendliness. Room service dishes from other rooms were left in the hallways for nearly 48 hours and only taken away after calling front desk multiple times. (Not even our food). Lobby tables and areas around the hotel seemed dirty and usually topped with garbage, cups or beer bottles. While guests should throw away things after themselves, coming down stairs at 8am to find beer bottles from the night before should be unacceptable from staff. Pool was murky, water/ice machines produced cloudy and unclear water and the AC broke down our last night. While not all staff, a good portion of staff seemed bothered when asked a question or simply by saying good morning. Again, not all staff but was sub-par for staying at any resort in the Caribbean. Best part was the beach, the cove is perfect and really beautiful, this was the savior and only reason to stay here. However, the staff does not regularly pick up towels or set chairs to know what is available. Again, if a person leaves the beach they should bring their towel with them, but staff could be more attentive to ensure people looking for chairs know what is available and what is not.

I usually stay at Hiltons for their consistency. The resort has a nice location with a private beach. They are also colocated with a dive shop called Barbados Blue which was a primary reason for visiting the island. The staff had been mostly kind and attentive but several occasions were hard to get there attention, especially at breakfast and their upscale dining. Breakfast is usually very nice. Recommend getting breakfast included to have a consistent experience and save a little money. I recommend avoiding the lunch and dinner experience at the resort. Too expensive, too slow, and too little for the money. The beach is nice but beware of the surf and rocks. The shallow areas are fine up to your knees but go beyond your waist and there are painful rocks that are hard to stand on. There are better beaches including the adjacent areas of Carlisle Bay. This property is aging and had several failures while we were there. The AC system throughout the hotel failed one night. The hot water system was unpredictable. And, the elevators were regularly in disrepair. I might go back but then again I would consider other resorts to see if they can exceed the benefit vs cost.

Melissa Cappy Sanfilippo

Stayed here for 4 nights. I did not have super high expectations when we booked. The best part about this hotel is the location and how beautiful the beach and water are. Water view from the room is beautiful. Other than that this hotel is completely lacking. The pools were green, slimy and murky during our entire stay, so gross looking to the point I did not even want to go into the pools. They were working on fixing the pools the entire time to no avail. The tv in the room did not work. On our last night we were informed the at they air conditioning was not working in part of the hotel which included our room. The room got hot, humid and uncomfortable and was hard to sleep in. If this was not our last night we would have checked out. The ice and water machines on each of the floors were not working or had white murky water coming out of the machines. The hotel is not very clean or well kept generally. The room next to us had ordered room service dinner and the food sat on the floor of the hallway for over 36 hours, we eventually called to have the food trays removed and it was done but hours later. Breakfast at the hotel is relatively expensive and food is mediocre at best, best part is the egg/omelette station. Besides the beauty of Needham’s Point and Carlisle Bay I would not recommend this hotel.

CRUISE WITH KAZ AND NIGE

Spent the day here at the end of our cruise before our flight home. Day pass included a credit which covered a drink and light lunch. Great location near to the cruise port and airport. Staff were very helpful but busy so could have done with some more on duty. Loved the poolside loungers with plenty to choose from. Pretty beach and outdoor restaurant. Would consider this again after a cruise.

The hotel is beautiful. It needs some attention to detail as it has some age.The pool and beach area was very clean and we enjoyed the open concept space of the registration area. The restaraunt staff were pleasant and professional. We arrived early morning and were prepared to wait for our room to be ready but do not expect to have to wait beyond the normal check in time. We didn’t get a room until after 5 pm .Upon arrival and again due to the long wait time to get a room we were told that as Hilton honors members we would get an upgrade to our room. On the contrary, we got a room on the first floor with the view of the parking lot. Beyond the parking lot is water, but due to the large trees, there was no view. Smh
