There is a distinct lack of pride in this hotel. I arrived with my friend expecting our room to be ready for us. Sadly, it appeared that the staff didn't even expect us. The kitchenette had virtually no utensils and only one of the two hobs was working. The TV box was not set-up, there was no iron and the ceiling fan was broken. There was no view and we felt very disappointed. We asked to change rooms but could not move until two days later as the hotel was full. We accepted this, and the manager brought the missing items to the room. We put up with the cold shower knowing we would move. We were happier with our new room that overlooked the pool. (please note, the pool furniture is not set out as it is presented in the picture. No umbrellas. Grubby tables and chairs. No effort made to make it look welcoming. ) At the end of our stay we spoke to the owner/manager about a refund for the first two nights. This was refused based on it being 'policy' not to refund money! Needless to say, we won't return to this hotel. On a positive note, the room was cleaned daily by a lovely lady. There is a bus stop close by, but it takes an hour to get to the livelier areas and beaches and the bus can get very crowded. I recommend getting a hire car to see the best of this wonderful island. …
Not part of the hustle and bustle of Oistins, yet close enough to enjoy all of the action. Clean and comfortable and not as pricey as a huge resort. Definitely take time to explore the area at day and at night, especially on the weekend. There is so much of the culture of Barbados right there that it's hard to not have a good time and authentic Bajan experience.
When my husband and I were looking for a hotel for our most recent trip to his birthplace, we came across Tropical Winds. Even though we are more familiar with the west and south coasts, positive reviews and reasonable rates encouraged us to give this Atlantic coast hotel a try. We were not disappointed. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The quiet atmosphere was to our liking. Even though it is a bit farther from Bridgetown and the island's social and night life, the location is ideal for those wanting to get away from it all. The pool was in need of a cleaning, but that was the only drawback to an enjoyable stay. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful.
This is a very quiet property and pretty much in the middle nowhere.They advertise a bar/restaurant that wasn't open while we were there. We came in about 7pm and just stayed one night. Were looking for a value hotel not far from the airport as we had to catch an early flight out. This hotel is in quite a remote location. We chose it due to the fact there was a restaurant/bar on site and we didn't have a car. We had to get another taxi to take us to the very good Marco Polo bar/restaurant that was about 10 minutes away, but another $20 in cab fair. The front desk staff did ask if we would like to call for Chinese food delivery, but we didn't want to sit in the room for dinner. No stores, shops or other businesses in close proximity.
Had a one bedroom apt. overlooking the pool. This place is in the country with limited dining service but the staff is more than willing to provide any service on request .Just remember you are on Island time. The rooms were large and very clean and well equipped. Satellite TV with WIFI available. Air conditioning worked well and there was a nice balcony for sitting out in the evening. The hotel is non-smoking. Good hot water and kitchenette with stove ,fridge microwave and cooking implements and dishes. Although the hotel is some distance from town the buses are only 2.00 Bajan each way and run every half hour til midnight. There are a couple of nice local restaurants a short bus ride up the road from the hotel with great food , music and ambience. As before amazing staff and service. Very friendly and willing to accommodate .I will definitely stay here again. If our fights had not been arranged to return home we would have stayed a few more days. Next time...…
