No hesitation to return to this brilliant Hotel! ??

ldainty101089 (Shrewsbury, United Kingdom) on Jul 09, 2024

We booked fairly last minute as decided to join some family and friends who had organised a return trip some months prior - Due to this, we just booked in at the same hotel and didn't look at other options... So pleased we ended up at The Club! The staff are all absolutely delightful - From the Barmen to the Egg Lady and everyone in between - Caroline (the Manageress) was most helpful with any questions we had and obviously has a great team behind her. The location couldn't be more idyllic, a few steps away from Sandy lane (with fabulous water to go snorkeling in), whilst also having the benefit of sun loungers overlooking the sea, and a cocktail never far away! The food I genuinely think is the best I've had at any AI. A la carte options (between the two restaurants) available for each of the 7 nights we stayed - Varied, and fresh. The cocktail list was extensive - We worked our way through most of them, and some that weren't even on the menu ?? Although, Mount Gay and coke was a particular favourite... When in Barbados...!! ??????? We will be back as soon as we can ??

Second time visit - mixed feelings

Lovemyho (Leeds, United Kingdom) on Jul 04, 2024

This was our second visit to The Club - the other being around 10 years ago. Some lovely upgrades to the outside furniture &, on the face of it, not much change from our wonderful holiday last time. We enjoyed the a la carte evening meals & there was always plenty of choice at breakfast. Lunches felt a bit repetitive. One of our favourite things was to walk down the steps to the Sandy Lane beach & snorkel out to the rocks around 5pm each day. So peaceful & plenty of different fish to see. Michael at the watersports hut organised a boat trip for us & we got to swim with turtles & stingrays - beautiful. A couple of things that made our holiday not as great as last time. On our previous visit it was quiet & relaxing with a generally older clientele. This time, both weekends of our stay, large & very noisy parties descended for the weekend, changing the whole feel of the place. Whooping, hollering, drunk people in the pool sent us away from this area & towards the beach. When we checked in we hadn’t realised that our room (131) had a door - albeit locked - connecting to another room. We certainly realised this a few days in when our neighbours arrived. Please avoid this room as we could hear almost every word they were saying. The Club now seems to have a bit of a mixed identity for us. Ending on a positive note - most staff encountered were lovely. Some a little quiet/reserved, even when trying to engage with them but always pleasant & polite.

THE most beautiful, restful, thoroughly pampered vacation ever!

Ev A (Victoria, Canada) on Jun 29, 2024

This beautiful, quiet, oceanside resort was THE very best vacation I've had -- even surpassing my many earlier annual vacations at this jewel of a resort. The staff were, all, amazing and the cusine has become 5-star. I MUST return, and soon!!! :)

Lovely team. Some noise issues.

realistic5 (Australia) on Jun 24, 2024

Lovely staff. Every person encountered was friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the food at Sunset. Thankful they exchanged some USD for local currency so I could catch the bus which is nearby. Pool and beach nice to keep cool. Very amusing water aerobics instructor. Might be helpful - $62 US in a taxi from the airport but only $3.50 Barbados dollars on the 27 bus that leaves straight outside the terminal and goes directly to the hotel. No self serve laundry anywhere near hotel, walked to two but they are dry cleaners only. A group of guests thinking it was ok to fly a recording drone at fellow guests by the pool and on the beach chairs was unacceptable. The noise each night was fairly unbearable for a good few hours. Loud guests coming back to rooms after midnight were inconsiderate. From 1am-4am on three of my five nights, housekeeping trollies would bang and crash up the pothole-filled concrete road outside many of the guest rooms, they would smash over metal plates and grates. About every half hour another trolley went up or down that road. At 5am delivery trucks arrived each morning. Same crashing and banging, door slamming. At 6am construction and pressure washing next door started. Sand blasting and heavy machinery in-use. Than the pressure washer. Sent the video to Sandy Lane but no response. This wasn’t The Club’s fault.

Beautiful small resort on the Caribbean Sea

himoc918 (Sugar Loaf NY) on Jun 11, 2024

Beautiful small resort on the Caribbean Sea side of the island. Very quiet and relaxing. Plenty of lounge chairs and seating throughout the day. The food at all meals were great, never had a bad one. My favorite was the bbq night with the ribs! Get the snorkel gear at the water sports shed and see an amazing amount of fish. There is no need to book a snorkeling excursion. You have a free one right at the resort! The guys at the water sports are very friendly and helpful too. There isn't much nightlife, so if you are into that, you probably need to go off resort to find it. They do provide music in the evening, but it's not a party atmosphere. We will be returning next year because we had such a great time at The Club! When calling for reservations ask for Katrina. She is a great booking agent and can answer all of your questions and book your next trip.
