We have just returned after spending 10 fabulous days at this special place. The hotel provides a relaxing, friendly and unpretentious atmosphere which allowed us to totally switch off. The manager, Caroline, was amazing. Every morning she spent time with the guests ensuring that we were all enjoying our holiday. Nothing was too much trouble. Her team were equally warm and welcoming; from Carmella and the girls in the restaurant to Indira who looked after our room. We felt so welcome. Thank you all for everything you did to give us an amazing holiday and hopefully see you again soon Read less

Great experience, loved the resort. Highly recommend the glass boat snorkeling trip that leaves from the hotel. The water sports guys were the best and make sure you go fishing with Adam. He and Sherrod (sp?) went above and beyond to answer any questions and provide an entertaining experience.

We have just returned from an excellent 12 night stay at the Club Barbados & Spa. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were looked after by fantastic, friendly staff, in every area of the business. I’ve never seem so many smiley faces in one resort. The restaurant food was of a very high standard, not always associated with all inclusive resorts, especially in Enid’s. We have an ocean view room with a separate balcony which was a great upgrade and kept immaculately clean every day. They do not pretend to be, nor charge Sandy Lane prices, so i struggle to understand where some of the negative reviews come from. Have sent the last 12 years visiting the Caribbean in April, this was one of the best memories amongst those. If it did have the large sandy beach right outside the hotel, it would probably be THE best (but you would have to pay more). The very short walk to the beach was so easy to access taking less than a minute. Well done Caroline and the team (special mention to Kathy) I might be back to poach your staff very soon :) Read less

Holiday booked with Tui. On arrival at the airport we had a 60 minute wait for our taxi, no other taxis available. When we arrived at the hotel and went to reception I thought that the area needed refurbishing which set alarm bells ringing. We were taken to our room and to our disappointment it was just the same. All the furnishings had a lot of wear. The bathroom furniture also. Spot light hanging out of the ceiling and fan not working. The power points were low to the floor so to work the kettle you had to either put it on the floor as the lead was not long enough or use a chair if you were not using it…. A faff! To my amazement the fridge was not stocked with any beverages. I have never had an empty fridge on an all inclusive hotel. I did ask the question and I was told I had to get drinks from the bar. Water in bottles were available on the first night in the room but after that you had to find a bottle and fill it up at the bar or buy it . No bottle no water! Every day at breakfast you had to book a time for the restaurant in the evening which didn’t work for us as we never had breakfast. some of the staff had got an attitude when we booked later in the day which wasn’t very nice. Our hotel room was all clean to start and the cleaner made a good job at first thankfully , but as the holiday progressed and cleaners changed it did go down hill and the balcony was also left. They were inconsistent with towels, flannels, mats etc so always having to phone reception. If you’re wanting a beach holiday at the hotel then forget it. It is a sand base for the sunbeds which was fine for me but not for everyone . Lastly the food , thought I’d save the best till last! We had fabulous food and didn’t want to eat anywhere else. The drinks were great too! Fortunately we met some great people ( holiday makers) and they really made the holiday for us. We were hoping for some luxury, the pictures look it but in reality it is not! It’s not the place for us and unfortunately will not be returning. Read less
