What a beautiful location. We had a really nice, large, beachfront room, with nice large bathroom. Room us as advertised and we did lay out on the balcony in the sun as the waves rolled in. The beach is wonderful. Crystal clear warm water that has a nice shallow part, sandy beach that was easy to walk on. I loved that getting a beach chair and umbrella were always easy no matter the time of day. The staff were all so friendly! Tge grounds were so well maintained! We started each day with the nice fresh breakfast, which was included, and were always given a nice table overlooking the water. Picture perfect!

Our stay at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion was wonderful! It was spotless, staff were very friendly, dinner was delicious, entertainment was good. All rooms have spectacular ocean views. It was very relaxing and quiet, never had to race for a beach chair, always plenty of space for everything. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Staff and service was excllent. The rooms are ok and the private balconies overlooking the ocean are amazing. The bar/restaurant at the beach area has been upgraded. The rest of the place is a bit dated and could use an update. Access to the beach club sail boats is a plus

A lovely hotel the ocean view room was well appointed comfortable and quiet with a lovely large balcony with comfortable seating. Very good restaurants and bar with new furniture. The breakfasts are very good. Access to beach was easy. The ONLY downside they need to get the beach service sorted, it's all a bit haphazard and disorganised and they are missing out on revenue. The food and drinks are reasonably priced. The extensive gardens and ground are very well maintained. Lovely stay and very friendly and helpful staff.

Had a pleasurable stay at the hotel but I would describe the rooms as in need of upgrade and tired. We chose a beachfront suite which allowed us to walk straight out onto our deck and the beach so very happy with that. Other plus points were the staff who are very polite and accommodating and the breakfast which was very high quality and good variation of food each day. In terms of negatives, the room was noisy and thin walls between rooms and noisy kids upstairs was not great. The room minibar despite a sign saying it would be replenished daily was actually never replenished. There was poor communication from the hotel about any evening entertainment that was happening and because of this we only ate once at the hotel but we’re glad we did as we had some amazing experiences at local restaurants All in all, a good holiday but this hotel could really do so much better and I don’t think I would choose to return again

This is the place to stay if you want a real feel for the warmth & charm of Barbados & its people instead of a cold impersonal hotel. The staff make you feel like part of their family and give wonderful support in every need of your visit ex. tours. Breakfast was very good. A lot of varieties: hot cold food, pastries fruits coffee tea, so tasteful. Restaurants are great. Want to say a special thank you to all receptionists who helped us so much! Also, the best review to the hotel taxi driver Roger Thompson who showed his professionalism and knowledge of the history of Barbados, will recommend to hire him for the island tour and any other activities. We will recommend the hotel to everyone and will return for sure! Thank you so much for an unforgettable trip and stay.

It is a solid hotel in an excellent location (one of the best beaches in Barbados). Overall friendly staff. It is expensive and some improvements needed given the price charged: 1 - Buttler service (waited 1 day to be introduced to him and was very difficult to reach him during my stay. When reached he was very efficient) 2- Restaurants (hotel really needs a new F&B Manager. Theses could be some of the best restaurants in Barbados given location but they lack ambiance (proper decoration, decent playlist, mood light) and need a new chef (food is totally unmemorable) - that's why they are always empty even when hotel is full. 3 - Music Selection ...We were there in Xmas season (I know it's hard to escape to xmas playlists...) but I wonder what insights management have on their guests...I really don't think people travel from USA and Europe to the land of Calypso to listen to Kenny G, Mariah Carrey and Celine Dion...music selection totally kills the Caribbean vibe in this place 4 - Beach service extremely slow (it's a wide beach and there is not enough staff in high season so be prepared to wait 30min to get noticed and another 30min to get served). I would return to Barbados without hesitation (amazing island) but would probably chose another place to stay.

This property is amazing! But…It’s bit outdated, staff is amazing, doing their best but lack of organization (not on staff but on management). You’ll have 3 different staff members serving you but when it comes to the service, too slow.But as I said they are all amazing! Grounds are impeccable, beach is amazing…The island is fantastic! Do not expect much from restaurants outside of the hotel…stay in! Food Is probably one of the best! Fairmont just have to work on entertainment (jazz can’t help much in the evening). Unless it’s a free cocktail (wine) night…they don’t have too many people hanging around the bar area… And that hotel has a lot of potentials. This is just how I see it and I would go back for sure.

This is an amazing resort just a few steps from the beach. The beach and color of water is beautiful and clean. The entire staff was amazing and top notch from the time we arrived and were greeted for check-in until the time we left and they for gracious to provide late check out as our flight was not until 5:30 pm. They could not not be more helpful or pleasant. I had a fabulous birthday getaway and am so glad I chose this resort (and I was considering many other places)!! Best resort in Barbados to stay! Also, highly recommend dining at the Cliff (amazing views) and the lunch catamaran cruise. Thank you to the the service members including, Sueshella, Shelly Alleyne, Michael Sealy, Drerrick, and Ashlee (who I took pics of but am having a hard time uploading) for making our trip truly remarkable.

We had a fantastic time @ Fairmont, slight negative when you stay and pay premium price for the beachfront patio is that you lose privacy, too many staff and other people walking past your suite constantly. This part could be improved.

The beach was perfectly situated with plenty of chaises each day and paddle boards, kayaks and other water sports. There’s even a little base in the water you can swim up to, sit on a bench and rest, then jump off. We enjoyed the pool as well.

The Royal Pavilion is a well maintained property located on a beautiful beach on the west coast of Barbados. The staff is very friendly and service oriented. We enjoyed our stay at this property very much and will certainly return soon on our next trip to Barbados.

The staff friendliness and personal touch was what is immediately apparently at the Fairmont. They made us feel like we were the only guests they had staying with them. If you’re looking for a party atmosphere then this isn’t for you. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, a stunning beach and luxury then the Fairmont is perfection. We moved onto a different hotel on the south of Barbados for the remainder of our trip and it’s fair to say we didn’t appreciate how good the fairmont was until we left!

Bedrooms was spacious and all see facing with direct beach and sea views. All staff were very kind and the service was exceptional from concierge, dining, beach, and in room. Water sports were great with an efficient and friendly team.

We stayed at the Fairmount over New Years. In terms of location and beach front, it has to be one of the best located on the West Coast. Amazing views. I don’t think we can rate the hotel service accurately as due to covid, it seems the hotel was short staffed. The service was extremely slow. Staff were friendly and attentive but everything took a long time. The beach has access to water sports. All rooms have a similar beach view. A really nice pool area. There is no spa at the hotel.

Beautiful and quiet beach. Provide a butler service but I didn’t now use it much. Room was well appointed. Food selection is limited at the hotel but close to very good restaurants and it is easy to catch a taxi.
