The Club Barbados

Returned home a few weeks ago from this resort. Wow. It truly was an unexpected pleasure. The staff were all warm and welcoming. The food was good and we found great tastes in both restaurants. Some guests vacationing there became our friends. There is a simple, relaxed, easy feeling about the place. People were having a great time. It was spotless clean inside and out. The structure is aging but what it lacks in updating it truly exceeds in character, coolness, and quality service. For example our flight home had a six hour delay and front desk staff stored our luggage and kept us at the resort to keep us welcome well beyond our checkout. This is so typical of a quality run establishment. Thank you Club Barbados!!!

We stayed here for 5 nights as part of a two island trip. The was our first time staying in Barbados and it was lovely. The first thing you notice is that this is an older well used property. Other than that it is perfect. Everywhere is clean and tidy. The people are amazing and can't do enough for you. Water is poured at every meal and refilled as you drink it. You never have to ask for more water, in fact quite the opposite, you have to say you've had enough. Drinks are top quality and plentiful, available from many bars, pool bar, beach bar etc. The rooms are quite dated but were more than enough for our short stay, with air conditioning, walk in shower etc . The view from our room was stunning, looking over the pool area and towards the sunset. Would I stay here again...yes I definitely would. After 5 nights we were sad to be leaving, but looking forward to the next part of our journey. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of going to Barbados

I recently stayed at The Club Barbados Resort & Spa and, overall, had a mixed experience. The location is excellent, with easy walking access into Holetown and several nearby restaurants. We received wonderful service at the Sunset Bar from Sylvia and Kareene, who were both friendly and attentive. The food in the restaurant was very good, and we were particularly impressed with the service from Carmela and Tatyana. Trevon, who managed the pool area, was consistently helpful and friendly throughout our stay. In addition, most of the housekeeping staff were pleasant and accommodating. However, there were several disappointing aspects. The beach at the hotel is virtually non-existent, which was frustrating. The rooms feel dated and could benefit from refurbishment. Unfortunately, water sports were unavailable for the entire two weeks of our stay due to rough sea conditions, which was very disappointing. We also found that the majority of the pool bar staff were rude and unhelpful, often making us feel as though serving us was an inconvenience. During the second week of our stay, we were assigned a different housekeeper whose attitude was extremely disappointing. We repeatedly had to request basic items such as tea, coffee, and fresh towels, and after three days the bathroom had still not been cleaned. When we raised this politely and showed that the bathroom had not been serviced, the response was defensive and unprofessional. Additionally, the staff member who was female that was responsible for cleaning the ladies’ toilets in the main pool and seating area was consistently unfriendly, unapproachable and very aggressive, which majorly detracted from the overall atmosphere. Sadly, the negative experiences of our holiday at The Club Barbados Resort & Spa overshadowed the positive elements of our stay. As a result, we will not be returning.

My friends and I just came back from my bachelorette trip at The Club Barbados, and we had the most amazing time. We originally planned to stay for 5 days, but due to unexpected flight cancellations, we ended up staying for 7 days. The resort itself is on the smaller side, but it is beautiful and never felt crowded. There’s a beach terrace, multiple pools, two restaurants, a food truck, and several bars, which made it easy to relax, socialize, and enjoy different spaces throughout the day. There were always activities happening from water sports to rum tastings, so there was never a dull moment. What truly made this trip exceptional was the staff. Every single person we interacted with went above and beyond to make our experience special. Rohan from the activities team was fantastic, he led our dance class and water aerobics and was constantly checking in on us to make sure we were having a great time. Sophia, Kareene, Owen and Danielle were incredible bartenders who were not only attentive and fun, but also kept us laughing all week (Danielle also made the best Bob Marley shots). Germaine was a gentleman and brought us food by the pool. Michael and Bryan assisted us with kayaking and stand up paddle boarding and greeted us with kindness. Sonia was our waitress most nights and was consistently warm, friendly, and kind. A very special thank you to Cathy Ann at the front desk, who truly saved the day when our flights were canceled. She handled everything with professionalism and care and managed to find rooms for us to return to for two additional nights during a stressful situation. Her help made a huge difference and meant so much to our group. Overall, this resort was amazing, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate such a special occasion. Between the beautiful setting and the outstanding staff, The Club Barbados exceeded my expectations for a fun, welcoming, and memorable all-inclusive experience.

If you're Coeliac this is not a hotel for you. Restaurant and Kitchen staff together with management do not take this condition seriously. Two weeks of constantly asking what was gluten free ruined this holiday. There was also clear cross contamination evident on the deserts which indicates that the kitchen didn't take any necessary precautions. Most of the restaurant staff were disinterested and occasionally rude. However, bar staff and cleaning staff were excellent. The room was spacious and clean but a little dated and tired looking. Pool area was well maintained. The location was good, around 10 minute walk into Holetown. In general the hotel needs refurbishment and a change of key staff is needed to get it up to scratch. Personally, I wouldn't say it was four star, more three star plus. It has the potential to be do much better.
