The Rum tasting is soooo much fun. Who thought you could actually tell the difference in color and brand. Not to be missed. Now can order rum dri KS and pick my favorite rum to match. Barbados is rum heaven.

Have been to this hotel previously and returned for our 25th wedding anniversary. Staff as before were amazing, especially Michelle, Shane, Jamel and tall Michelle. Unfortunately things regarding the maintenance had slipped slightly during COVID. This hotel however is in a prime location and is beautiful. We will definitely return if the bathrooms could be updated as they are very ‘tired’!. If this small improvement could be made and the general cleaning monitored this accommodation would be perfect. Just to say all linens, beds, towels etc were spotless at all times. I hope things can be tweeted, as we long to come back. Love to all our friends over there. Kevin and Brenda Buss Read less
