Fairmont Royal Pavilion

I had the huge pleasure to spend a couple of days at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion. It has been an amazing experience. The breakfast area and food it's super just in front of the sea , that's why I want to say a good thank you to Eagle who almost every day took care of us, always super kind and with a smile in his face. I want to thank you as well one of the bartender, Ralph, who instead took care of my palate 😁 making nice drinks. A huge thank you goes to the guys who are running the beach. Ryan watersport man, super simpatic and helpful, we had a really good time and the barlady Kerry who made for us a super nice punch and gave to us some tips about the Island. Last but not least I would like to mention and thank you Robert Food and Beverage manager, congratulations you got a super team. I hope to come back and find you as soon as possible. All the best!

I stayed here for my birthday and it was a great experience. The property is beautiful and the room was nice and cozy. The staff were warm and helpful. They made sure all my needs were satisfied. The food and cocktails were amazing. I really enjoyed the afternoon tea experience. I want to express many thanks to Michael Sealy the front desk manager, Debra from the restaurant and Keilu from watersports as they were the main staff I interacted with during my stay. Good jobs guy keep up the excellent work. Read less

I do not write reviews often and I’m sure reviews are not usually written on the second day of a holiday. However, while I was so impressed with the beautiful, elegant upgrades to the oceanfront suite from our visit in 2012. The rooms are even more comfortable, modernized, with an elegant easy charm. I was so delighted and happy to see, What has not changed from my last visit. The warm, lovely, caring Fairmont Royal Pavillion people. Starting before our arrival with Moreen Bushnell in reservation giving excellent service and being so helpful. To being warmly greeted and attended to by Mr. David as we arrived and was checked in by lovely, thoughtful, Patricia at the front desk. Patricia’s warm welcome back and her lovely Rum Punch are still the best in the Caribbean! 💃🏽🎉 Was great to see the Lovely, effervescent Dawn our Concierge In 2012. Pearce, Audwin, Lynette and Lucette in the restaurant. We have not seen Ryan in water sports yet. But I’m sure he is still as wonderful and helpful as ever. The way he took care of my 80 year old Mom on our last visit was outstanding. Unmatched service, from these great Royal Pavillion staff, still the same as our first visit 22 years ago. Yes 22 years!! The Italian dinner last night was delicious and of course the breakfast buffet this morning was outstanding. A great variety of fresh fruit, juices and every hot and cold breakfast items you could desire. My daughter and I nature lovers and did not mind the birds in 2012, but I guess to accommodate all comfort levels. The buffet is served from inside while we still dined Al fresco waterside in main restaurant. I have stayed at the Sandy Lane in the past, and it is my opinion that the Fairmont Royal Pavillion is still the best resort on the island. The best of the beautiful West coast beaches. All the rooms have breathtaking ocean views. But, above all the physical beauty of this property, and our lovely Oceanfront room with balcony; The consistent 5 star service of the staff is what makes Royal Pavillion truly outstanding and in our opinion, the Best of Barbados. We have not met the current hotel manager yet. But can say, he should be proud that the team is still doing an outstanding job. Over the years, we have recommended the Royal Pavillion to many of our friends, who have stayed and thanked us for introducing them to this west coast gem. The only complaint is that we have to leave on Monday 😭 Theresa Burke-Okeke Read less
