Here at the moment and could and needs to be a lot better. Some areas looking very tired and grubby , also I think they need to implement specific smoking areas as nothing worse than breathing in someone’s smoke whether it be on the beach or bar area .Also guests with personal speakers on beach and pool area loud guests don’t want to listen to other people’s music .Also guests leaving the piano bar around 2.30am need to respect lots of people are asleep and so need to tone their volume down and show some respect. Definitely not a 4 star resort and certainly wouldn’t return which is a shame as was hoping for it to be a lovely peaceful spa hotel Read less

My staycation at The Club Barbados was nothing short of amazing. The staff provided exceptional service, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious, with a wide variety of dishes that impressed every meal. The drinks were equally delightful, adding to the relaxed and fun atmosphere. One of the highlights was snorkeling along the reef, where we swam with a mesmerizing school of fish. It was an unforgettable underwater adventure! To top it off, we indulged in an incredible spa experience. Ria and Kaneisha ensured we were well taken care of with soothing massages that left us completely rejuvenated. Overall, The Club Barbados delivered a perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and top-notch service. Highly recommended! Read less

I travelled to Barbados in August of 2024 and I stayed at the Club Barbados Resort and Spa. I was very satisfied with my experience at the resort. I had a suite facing the ocean and the view was amazing. The food was very good and very diversified. The activities were plentiful. The staff was extremely friendly and improved my overall vacation experience. A big shout out to Adam for being such a great and versatile animator. His morning walks are informative and highly recommended. I also used the spa. I believe that her name is Ria…she has magic fingers! The only downside that I have is not the fault of the resort. There isn’t much of a beach directly on the hotel site (I’m assuming due to storms). But there is a really nice beach 2 minute walk away in both directions. But besides that, I would rate my experience a 10 out of 10 for everything else. If and when I do return to Barbados, I would definitely choose the Club Barbados Resort and Spa again. Read less

We had a very enjoyable experience at The Club, Barbados. Our rooms were clean and comfortable and the resort is fairly well maintained. We were there in August so it was the off season, meaning a few things were not as open or available. The positive of that was that The Club, which is fairly small, was not crowded. There were plenty of pool lounges available and no lines at the bar. However, the seaside bar & seating area was not open and it was challenging to find clean lounge chair cushions for the seaside seating areas. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts buffets were plentiful and tasty. The lunches and dinners were so delicious that we had to meet and compliment the sous chef!! The indoor bar staff was awesome, especially Kareen & Guy! They were fun, friendly, helpful, & attentive. Enid's, their Bajan style restaurant, is a must. It was only open one day during our one week stay, but we were happy to be able to experience their excellent cuisine. The only real downside of this resort was that it was not right on a beach. There is a low seawall that separates the resort from the water. You have to walk a little ways to get to an actual beach and there were no lounge chairs or any seating available as it is not actually on the resort proper. All beaches in Barbados are public so it was not a big deal, but it was a minor inconvenience. Overall our experience was very good and we would recommend The Club to anyone looking for a relaxing, all inclusive experience on one of the friendliest, safest islands in the Caribbean. Read less
