The hotel

There’s no denying Barbados’s Platinum West Coast is a magnet for beach lovers – so it’s rare to find a little sanctuary along its crowd-pulling sands that promises total serenity. Cue Treasure Beach by Elegant Hotels. This all suite, all-inclusive, boutique hotel focuses on epicurean and the arts featuring a different culinary journey on each night of your stay led by an award winning chef. You can immerse yourself in the Barbadian culture by touring local galleries and museums with a complimentary Treasure Art Crawl. With a fabulous welcome cocktail upon arrival, you can indulge in all-day a la carte dining, premium drinks and a Sunset Cocktail Hour featuring a different bar offering every evening. Choose from 34 one bedroom or deluxe suites all outfitted in local and regional art, immersing you in modern, local culture. Of course this is the Caribbean, so they’ve added a Beach and Pool Ambassador Service for those lazy island days, and you can also hop on the free water taxi to sister properties, with more than 15 restaurants and bars for your taste buds to explore!

My husband and I had a wonderful 10 nights here at Treasure Beach Hotel. Although we had one of the garden view suits (1st floor), we were really impressed with the standard of our suite. On entry to the suite was the living area with a sofa, table and doors onto the balcony. There was also a sink, fridge, kettle and coffee machine. The bed was an extremely generous size and the bathroom had both a large shower and bath and ‘his and her’ sinks. The air conditioning in both the bedroom and living room was very efficient. To note, there was one plug socket in our suite that could take a standard UK plug without the need for an adaptor. The housekeeping staff were very thorough and kept our suite clean and tidy- I don’t know how they made our bed so immaculate (even after I had attempted myself!) The food here was amazing! Very impressed, especially as it was an a la carte menu for breakfast lunch and dinner. The dinner menu seemed to be on a rolling weekly programme and the lunch menu changed every two days. Breakfast was the same menu every day but with plenty of choice, both hot and cold, I especially enjoyed the eggs benedict. The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating and made us feel very welcome. The hotel had a programme of events for guests to enjoy/take part in should they wish. My husband and I done some pre-breakfast Sunday morning yoga and also done an hour of mandala art. The Saturday night singer over dinner was very good. Because Treasure Beach is part of the Elegant Hotel chain, we were also able to make use of the other sister hotels and also eat lunch/dinner there. There is a water taxi that departs from the hotel next door (the Tamarind) that serves the sister hotels (Waves, Crystal Cove and Colony Club). Colony Club is the only one that is not included as an all inclusive option- you can eat there, but you will need to pay extra. Watersports (paddle boarding, snorkelling, kayaking, water skiing, banana boat) are also offered from the Tamarind and are included in the all-inclusive package. The location of Treasure Beach is perfect- direct access to Paynes Bay Beach, that you can actually walk all the way to Holetown along (some wading through the shallow bits of sea involved). I don’t think I would ever get tired of looking at the crystal clear, blue seas and soft, white sands-stunning. At the time of our stay the hotel was at half occupancy as the other rooms were undergoing a renovation. This is a small and intimate, adult only hotel and suited us perfectly, we would definitely return if we got the chance. Thank you to everyone that made it a special trip for us. Read less

We spent a lovely relaxing 10 nights at the Treasure Beach. Our suite on the ground floor was well appointed and spotlessly clean. The hotel was very under occupied while we were there, so it was very intimate, there was never any trouble finding a sun lounger, but of course you always get some guests that go out early in the morning, so they can have the same beds every day. We loved our walks along the beach and the pool was just the right temperature. The food was the best that we have had in the caribbean. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all A la carte. I found the breakfast disappointing, I would have preferred to have a more buffet style breakfast, as I don't like eggs, maybe another choice like smoked salmon or Avocado on toast. The dinners were very good with generous sized portions, we never had any need to do the dine around as the meals at Treasure Beach were so good. The staff are all lovely and friendly, to many to mention, they are like one big family, although there was one barman who didn't have a name badge, it seemed like he didn't want to be there and never made eye contact. Not sure what the hotel would be like in peak season, as the bar area is very small, and I think they would find it hard to cope if the hotel was fully occupied. We were disappointed that we asked for a late check out for 1pm, and was told we could only have the room till 12.30, never had that in any other hotel before, and as check in isn't till 3pm and the hotel was so under occupied it seemed rather strange. Not sure if Treasure Beach is up to Marriott standards yet, but they are planning to have renovations done later in the year. When we checked out the receptionist said we would received a questionnaire, which we usually do from Marriott within a few days but after nearly two weeks we haven't received it. All in all a lovely stay, maybe one day we will return. Read less

I loved my stay here! The staff was so accommodating and welcoming. The hotel itself could use a few updates but overall it is well maintained. Also, if I would compare it to its sister Tamarind next door, I would say it’s better maintained. The views were stunning. The food was good and there was a variety offered.

I loved my stay here! The staff was so accommodating and welcoming. The hotel itself could use a few updates but overall it is well maintained. Also, if I would compare it to its sister Tamarind next door, I would say it’s better maintained. The views were stunning. The food was good and there was a variety offered. I would also suggest adding some entertainment or maybe themed nights. The service, lets start with manager Sophia, I saw her literally carrying a guest bags to their room. I think that speaks to the dedication of the staff. The concierge desk with Alaina, Destiny and Sabrina was so helpful, they arranged our excursions for us and made sure we were happy. Alaina ( I know this is misspelled sorry), contacted one of them without me knowing to tell them of my daughters birthday. A very pleasant surprise!. They have best bartenders and servers who always greeted us warmly and had the best personalities. Rasheed, Lashonda (Dimples), Oneila, were the best to name a few. Grounds and housekeeping with Mark, Carl, Armani and Stadia who made our stay as comfortable as possible. We even met great fellow guest. I would totally recommend this hotel. And I plan on returning soon with friends. Read less

Having first stayed here in October 2022, when it was good but needing some improvement, my Wife and I decided to go back for a second visit. WOW, what a difference, lots of great new staff and improvements in just about all areas. On arrival where Alana, Sabrina and Destiny look after the front desk and that first rum punch or Banks beer while you check in you just know that the place feels so right. It a small resort, just 35 rooms, with just the one bar where Kyle, Reshawn and Odine look after the guests so well with great drinks and cocktails and Carl the beach ambassador who looks after the lazy ones like me with drinks and snacks at the pool and beachfront and of course his infamous Sundowner cocktails. Thanks you Guys The biggest improvement of all is the food, with a choice ot outdoor or indoor AC dining, there are two new key members of staff, Joan as Restaurant Manager and Nicholas the amazing new Chef. Al la carte for breakfast, lunch and dinner is really nice to have and as it not available in the majority of AI hotels it really is a big bonus. Nicholas has redone all the menus, keeping some of the best bits but with improvements throughout and he is not through with the changes yet his food is evolving as he gets feedback from his guests. Just love the Eggs Benedict for breakfast ! Joan has a great waiting staff in the restaurant they are all very friendly and attentive, Sophia and Lashonda deserve a special mention as they really do go above and beyond to look after the guests. The resort is well cared for with sunbeds and sunshades undergoing a revolving program of cleaning, the grounds are well kept, with the garden and shrubery well looked after and the housekeeping is just great, always an abundence of towels for both room and pool/beach, plus there is a nightly turndown service which is again a nice bonus. Being a Marriott/Elegant resort you have the advantage of dine around at the other resorts which is great as you can visit most of them on the water taxi which is provided for guests, we often used it as a pleasant boat trip up and down the west coast stopping off for lunch or a drink at the other resorts, although prior booking is needed for the dine around. Finally it would be unfair to finish without mentioning Tracess the Manager who is very visable onsite, approachable and reacts to guests requests, thank you Tracess and all your staff for a marvellous holiday and we will see you again very soon.

Just back from a relaxing week at this amazing hotel - it’s small, comfortable and intimate in a fabulous location right on the beach - the rooms are private, well equipped and spacious and the food is outstanding especially dinner. It’s obvious that the young chef Nicholas is passionate about his job and as a result we have eaten some of the best hotel food we’ve ever had. Lunch and dinner are a La Carte however the menus are limited but there was always something to suit - I never heard anyone say anything negative about the food. Contrary to other reviewers we didn’t have any trouble finding a sun bed and staff were always available to help find some shade if required. The staff from the manager to the gardener were amazing- going the extra mile to make our holiday really special Some minor negatives - we quickly made friends with other guests but desperately needed some comfy seating so we could sit and chat after dinner - the seating at the bar was not especially comfortable. Bar and waiting staff were a little hit-and-miss with some excellent service and some not so good (especially at the weekend) There was a distinct lack of entertainment and what did happen was not publicised very well- a notice board or similar would really help Overall though there wasn’t a lot wrong with this fabulous hotel and I will definitely be back at sometime soon.
