I would not recommend. Some of the staff are friendly and some not so much. The food choices are poor. My room barely cool as the Air Conditioners were old and hardly blew cold air. No hot water in the bathroom so cold showers every day. Would NOT recommend.

Club Barbados Resort and Spa was AMAZING! We just got back. We own in Grand Cayman so I was concerned my expectations would be too high but this place was incredible. The water is literally steps away from the restaurant and bar and oceanside rooms. Best sunsets I have ever seen! The food was delicious - lots of variety! And the drinks were delicious and strong. The staff were all so friendly and they would make any accommodation you needed. They all got along so well and happy to be working. Very clean resort. It is on small side so everything is walking distance. Entertainment every nite. I like to be in bed by 10 pm after a long day of ocean but for the niteowls they had a piano bar until 2 am. This was my first adults only vacay and while I love children it was wonderful not hearing screaming kids all week. The GM of the resort walks around all day to make sure guests are happy. She really does a great job. We will DEFINITELY go back ! Read less

We stayed in a beautiful ocean view room. The Front desk staff Tonya and Cathyann were so helpful. Sherry and Mia, at the hostess station welcomed us for every meal and the food was always fresh and delicious. We had made to order omelettes and fried eggs by Shanika and Adrienne, who couldn't have been nicer. Antonia served us Americana expresso & frothed milk every morning with a smile. The wait staff in the restaurant were amazing, they love their jobs, LaDonna, Iesha, Karleen, Lasandra always asking how our stay was going. We swam, kayaked, paddle boarded, did water aerobics with Adam, played volleyball and used the gym. If you can't be active here, that's on you! The drinks are made to perfection, Jamar, Guye and so many others were just wonderful! The entertainment is a plus though after a day full of activity, we didn't see it every night and my knees were too tired to dance. Damian carried our luggage down when we left, such a nice guy. I left my favorite travel mug at the bar on the morning of our last day and a staff member tracked me down at the check out area and gave it to me just before our cab picked us up. They knew who it belonged to and knew I was leaving. I couldn't have been more pleased with my entire experience. Read less

We have just returned from our second visit to this brilliant hotel and it certainly did not disappoint. The staff from reception right through to water sports were great and they make the holiday. Great service always with a smile and a laugh apart from one or two exceptions that maybe need to smile a little more. The facilities are excellent giving most people exactly what they need for a great holiday. The food is excellent in both quality and choice. The breakfasts are superb with everything you need in both hot and cold food. The highlight are the " egg ladies ", who will cook you eggs any way you like plus waffles , french toast and pancakes. All done with a chat and a smile. The lunch and evening buffets are excellent in both quality and choice. Hot and cold meats always available , fish , seafood and a comprehensive salad bar. On most buffets there was other option such as pasta, curries , beef chilli, etc. The desserts are good too , mostly cakes and mousses and you can always ask the staff for ice cream to go with them. There is also a hot dessert available. The buffet changes to a la carte on 3 to 4 night per week. The menu is four course comprising of four choices in each section. The food is excellent, well presented and served in a lovely setting. We say you would pay a lot of money for the same meal in a restaurant and may not get the same quality ! If you have a more adventurous pallet Enid's restaurant is available six nights per week , serving typically Bajan cuisine. Again the quality and service is excellent A bonus at lunchtime is the egg ladies switch to cooking hamburgers, hot dogs and sometimes paninis , all cooked to order. We think the burgers are the best we've ever tasted ! Another bonus is a bar menu available most of the day. this includes pizza, steak sandwiches , cub sandwich, nachos etc. The staff will also deliver food to your sunbed Everyone we spoke to during the holiday was of the same opinion saying how good the food was. The drinks package is also excellent with top brand gin, whisky, brandy, bourbon and great local rums and cocktails all mixed to order. The beach bar is the hub through the day, great staff, good music and a lovely atmosphere. In the evening there is entertainment in the main bar which is usually of a pretty good standard. Then if you want a late night the piano bar is open until 2am with a pianist who is a bit zany but very good also dance music in between. All in all another brilliant holiday at the club, thank you so much to Caroline and all her staff. We booked for the same time next year while we were still there! Read less

If you’re under 50 yo & looking for fun, this is not the place. Seems the average age was over 60yo. No exciting entertainment. Food in sunset lounge is mediocre, catering to Brits, no flavor.
