Average that could be outstanding

David H on Dec 06, 2025

Great location. Sea and beach area superb. We had a ground floor suite and the room was superb with a great deck and on the beach. It was also very quiet at night (the aircon was noisy but we slept well with it off) Breakfast choice was very good and was included in our daily rate. Some Water sports for free which we used each day and well run by Ryan and Derrick who were always very attentive. The Butler service we didnt really use as we are able to book things online eg Uber are now active in Barbados and Opentable for restaurants etc. So the reason it was average when it really should have been outstanding was the level of service. When you book a 5 star hotel at E1,000 per night you expect the staff to care for you to a decent level and u expect service from all with a smile. It was so hit and miss. Some were a pleasure to deal with and were professional and caring but all too often you were made to feel you were either interrupting the staffs own fun time or you were an inconvenience. Such a pity as we understand the Caribbean culture is to be relaxed but the lack of consistent service was a huge disappointment. You pay 5 star rates not 3 star so u expect decent friendly service. For example pre dinner drinks can take an age as nobody seems to want to take the order. We only ate once other than breakfast as so many of the restaurants nearby have decent service eg Nauti HQ

Wonderfull Service Amazing beach access

Chris B (London, United Kingdom) on Dec 05, 2025

Had a Wonderful time at the Fairmont, the Staff were so welcoming and friendly, the service was excellent and the staff all knew my name, was nervous as a solo traveller as this kind of resort is full of couples but was absolutely comfortable. The BeachFront suites are exquisite with direct beach access. Cleanliness was impeccable.. only slight negative, no shops within walking distance, need to get a cab to shops for essentials and on the pricier side.
