Where should I begin ? I did extensive (hours and hours!!) research on all the 5 star hotels on the West Coast prior to booking and so glad we chose the Fairmont, we had the most amazing 7 nights (definitely not long enough!). As a family we had 2 rooms, both rooms were spotlessly clean, soft fluffy towels, comfiest beds and linen. Every member of staff provided exceptional service and all with a friendly smile and nothing is too much trouble. The view from our rooms, the beach every single thing we could not fault, we will definitely be back. Thank you Fairmont Royal Pavilion for the unforgettable memories. (I think you can tell we had the best time.)

Superb location Friendly and helpful staff Beautiful rooms and well kept grounds Nice cocktails Plentiful toiletries in the rooms Welcomed coffee machine

Overall we enjoyed our stay. Rooms and exterior of hotel painted last year so all looks fresh. However the rooms and bathrooms in particular need renovating. All perfectly usable but in our opinion not 5 star in it's current form. We had a ground floor ocean suite and it is worth the extra money to walk out on to the private deck and beach. Included is butler service and both Dawn and Renico were great. Views over the ocean from palm restaurant were beautiful. Hopefully when the new general manager is in place and the bathrooms in particular renovated this will again be a special hotel with its setting right on the beach. Would recommend

Overall we had a very nice stay at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion. We stayed in a beachfront suite, which had its own little deck and lounger area looking over the water. We really enjoyed easily being able to pop back into our room for things and having designated loungers. Michael was great and friendly helping set up our loungers each morning and making sure we had towels. He also would walk by and make sure we didn't need anything else throughout the day. The room itself could use a little updating. The couch and carpet had some staining and a tile in the shower was broken, but the rooms were very clean and housekeeping made sure we had anything we needed throughout the week from extra pillows to tea. Where the hotel really shines is its employees. From Ashlee in the restaurant with her welcoming smile morning or night, to Nicole and Crystal taking care of us on the beach, to our butler Renico who was so nice and always happy to help, everyone was great to interact with. Renico always checked in with us, made sure our afternoon tea was delivered daily, provided recommendations of places to see on the island, as well as giving us a map. He is a real asset to the hotel. The hotel is conveniently located. You can walk to Lone Star for a great meal, or a short taxi ride to Holetown and many other restaurants. Overall I would recommend this hotel, but with a few updates it would really be top notch.

We have stayed at the Fairmont in Barbados 29 times since 2006 - the staff are so lovely. From the warmest of welcomes when you arrive to the friendly chats during your stay. They really make the stay. The beach guys cannot do enough for you. Special call out to Michael Sealy, Odvin, Twanda, Deirdrianna, Leroy, David, St Clair, Andre, Ralph, Sabrina, Alison, Shane, Ryan and Nathan. And most of all the best housekeeper ever - Serina! Looking forward to come back soon.
