Stayed 26/12/25 - 01/01/26. From the moment I got there, the greeting and the smile from Cherish was very welcoming; she was always attentive to anything we needed. The room was clean with fresh towels and the bed was quite comfortable. Also shout out to Devon the evening staff, who came right away with a request that I had for my dad. Great location, very good for the rate and I will definitely stay there again.

I really enjoyed my stay here! All of the staff were friendly and accommodating, and the room was very clean. My favorite amenities were the pool and restaurant in the building. It was very convenient and there were a lot of great options to choose from. It's also located a short walk away from the St. Lawrence Gap and Dover beach, so there's a lot of other food options to choose from. If you're traveling to Barbados, I definitely recommend staying here!
