Beautiful location
Beautiful location, friendly staff and decent food overall. Our first room was very outdated, AC was making loud whistling sound and toilet was leaking onto bathroom floor. We notified front desk and it was taken care of the next day. Antonia the manager came and found us and said she was aware of the problems and they were going to move us to an upgraded room. The next room was as good as the first room was bad. Much better view, amenities,overall comfort. Very thankful that they took care of us. Free water sports are a definite plus and the beach swimming area is very nice and safe, pools are nice. Overall the food was good but not great. We are vegetarian and our options were completely limited and lacking unless we ate the buffet, which was pretty good. The drinks were good and all included. All the servers were very attentive and sweet. The woman making omelets is a joy! The sister restaurants-Positano and Shiso at the Waves were excellent and I highly recommend eating at the other properties. Water taxi is free during the day but you have to take taxis after 4 pm. Taxis are pretty pricey but if you’re adventurous take the bus it’s only 3.60 Barbados! My only suggestion is that concierges we spoke to were not that knowledgeable and had to look up answers to any questions we had. One last thing the Wifi is pretty bad, but I hate to complain about overall lovely experience!

We checked in yesterday and so far, so good. HOWEVER, Expedia says Tamarind had a hot tub, and it does not. It’s not a huge thing, but it was one of the amenities we considered when booking our hotel in Barbados. I don’t know if this was an honest mistake or not, but either way it’s disappointing

This hotel is in a great location for a beach holiday. Unfortunatley the standard of service is simply horrific (even by local standards)- as bad as we have experienced in travelling to Barbados for over 30 years - you are treated more like prisoners than guests! Front desk, pool staff, bar staff, beach sports - almost all very poor with no interest in providing a positive guest experience. I understand the hotel is being upgraded during 2024, however the reality is that if the staff and their attitudes remain the same then it's never going to deliver.

I read a lot of the reviews about this place and have to say I was worried a bit about l the staff. HOWEVER, in the experience I had, I had to say that the staff had to be the best thing about this place. It was an amazing experience, even one of them. I wish I was better with names, but the two who stood out were the young lady working the front desk on Wed 15th November at 645pm, and the young lady working the desk at Friday 17th November 5pm same young lady on Saturday 18th November 1130am . I have to day the two were very pleasant and helpful. The young lady from Fri and Sat went out of her way trying to get a car rental for me at the last min. I want to say a heart felt thanks to the two of them. Rooms: Had room 333, the room was very clean, with a great view of the sea. It was on the other side of the restaurant. However, it was not a problem as the walkover was just about 1 minute. The building that the room is in seems to be a little dated hallways, feel a little small , however, with some additional lighting, it can feel a little more open. On-site, there is water activity. If you are doing the tubing or sailing, you will need to book. Snorkeling,paddle board, and kayaking are first come, first serve but seem to always be available. Food and drinks As much as the food was a constant supply for an all-inclusive and the drinks never stop. I have to say I was a little disappointed in the opinion. Breakfast I was hoping for a lil of the Barbados breakfast experienc
