I hate to do this but…. Just got here last night and already want to leave. Our family has been to over 30 all inclusive resorts and this by FAR is the worst.

I hate to do this but…. Just got here last night and already want to leave. Our family has been to over 30 all inclusive resorts and this by FAR is the worst. Only thing they have going for them is their food. We’re here till Saturday and truthfully want to leave. Been around the pool since 8 am and no staff, bar doesn’t open till 11:30- nobody even offers water for guests. Nobody cleans- the halls ways and pool area are filthy. Staff are not trained enough. Took 20 min to get a coffee for crying out loud. 1k usd a night and I’m beyond disappointed. Let’s see how the rest of our stay goes….. Read less

An amazing experience and a place we will never forget! The hotel is beautiful, on the quieter side of the island, so relaxing to hear the waves while sunbathing. Has so much potential for future plans! On our stay we got engaged and had been working alongside the hotel beforehand and couldn’t thank them enough for making the moment so perfect! A big thank you to Maria that made everything happen alongside Regina who captured the moment and the stunning views all in one. Forever a memory we get to keep. Everyone is super friendly, but most importantly; Shivonne- is the kindest soul, from the moment we walked into the hotel and throughout she would make sure we were okay! So welcoming and Friendly. Even more amazing with our boys, she had sorted little tents to be set up in the room with colouring in and had gone into detail with our sons favourite colour balloons and marvel colouring in pictures. It’s the little things, that don’t go unnoticed! Elroy- went above and beyond, so attentive, everytime we saw him he would go out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed, he would order our drinks before we would come over! Went to the extent of bringing the last cookies left to our room, as we raved about them! Couldnt thank him enough!! Toni- culinary, was an absolute joy to come down to every morning/lunch, our son is obsessed with boiled eggs and she had them at the ready and more! Raquel - vital figure to the team and ensured evrything ran smoothly. If you need anything or questions your go to is Tanya, so lovely and welcoming! Tyrone - so warm and sociable, made sure we were comfortable travelling outside the resort with introducing our cabs, put us at ease. Massive man united fan. All in all we had the best time would hands down return, very modern and Tranquil. would love to see more restraunts as the castle view restraunt definitely lived up to standards so another would have broke up the stay!

I stayed with my family at the Wyndham Grand Barbados Sam Lords for 10 days in August 2004. We had a lovely stay with many positive points - the pool was great and my kids made good friends and enjoyed the pool activities. The buffet food was good in the main restaurant but the food and service in the Castle View restaurant was amazing (you need to book a table) The steak was soooo lovely with my favourite pepper sauce! The lovely Jalisa gave us impeccable service. In the main buffet restaurant Elroy was so helpful and we had lovely chats with him. Lovely rooms - a good size - and the gym and table tennis tables were great too. A couple of negative things - the 'family' film that I took my 12 year old daughter to watch was totally inappropriate and so much swearing that we walked out within 5 minutes. The staff need to check these choices out carefully as I was quite shocked as was my daughter. The restaurant decided to play pipe music quite loudly through the night which we could hear from our rooms around 5th floor. I had toilet roll shoved in my ears at one point (forgot my ear plugs) I complained and it stopped for 1 night then started up again the next night so I was awake from 4am. Why does anyone want to hear pipe music through the night particularly in a family hotel? Stop the music after the bars are closed so people can sleep please. It would actually put me off booking again, particularly since my complaint was not dealt with. Lastly my son had a bad tummy one night and I asked for a toilet brush from reception as I don't think the cleaners should have to deal with these things. I asked about 6 times and they finally gave me one about 5 hours later - it looked like they had to buy one after offering me a 'used' one which I said no thanks to ! I think a toilet brush is a basic hygiene requirement in any hotel and it got quite frustrating that I had to ask so many times. A few small things would really improve this hotel but overall we had a nice stay. Thank you. Read less

Stay away from this hotel!!! We check in in a half clean room, with people old baby closet stuck underneath some clean towels in the toilet. Media bar was left with one sprite and coffee table still have empty container of coffee, mate. We stay here for 8 nights and it is not the 5 stars hotel you will get. Hotel itself was old and dates, staff is not friendly and are quite lazy. Never go about the way to help you only looking for the next tips. Hotels food( buffet ) is not good, very low standard and have flies all over it all the time. We came on Sunday and got the first clean on Monday and that was it. The sheets not been clean and was full of dry blood stain and new shoe stain. We add picture below Read less

Everything was great I came here for my birthday, staff was wonderful especially Oswald, ishama and Sherman. Clive entertainment was spectacular! Only thing I would recommend is adding more restaurants and a night club. Otherwise I will definitely be back soon!!
