Hilton Barbados Resort

Service was great. They have an awesome well equipped gym. There were no children I saw in my stay. There is entertainment by the pools in the evening that is spectacular. I was only there one night but I took advantage of the beach and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was good and you were greeted with Rum punch. It is a trek from the airport but only 10 minutes or so to port.

This Holiday Inn is in need of a much needed update. At almost $600 a night I was expecting a much nicer hotel room and amenities. There is peeling paint along the hall baseboards on the second floor with black masking tape on the carpet every so often. The rooms are a nice size with wonderful views of the ocean. The air conditioning was fabulous and very cool. However there were no robes or slippers in the closet. I didn’t bring mine expecting those. There wasn’t even pad and pen in the room to leave notes to your housekeeper. The house keeping staff were wonderful and kind leaving us extra coffee and creamer as requested. The restaurant food was good but not great. Again the wait staff was very attentive and kind leaving us we ate in all of the restaurants. The steak house was very expensive and not worth the money but it was the best meal we ate of the week we stayed there. We used the tour desk to book a trip to Harrison’s Cave and Huntes Garden. The cave tour was spectacular having a team car go through it. The Gardens are beautiful and worth the stop. The old fort built beside the property is worth the time to view. The hotel grounds are beautiful and the beach was the entire reason we stayed here. The beaches are made of quartz sand and so they stay cool and are never hot on your feet. The pool was quite cold but felt good once you acclimated. The pool hot tub was broken the entire week and we never saw anyone working on it. The staff were all kind and welcoming. I would not give this a 4 star hotel because it is expensive and dated however the people and locations are 5 stars.

Clean,quiet and very comfortable rooms right on the ocean. Beautiful beach. Employees were all courteous and friendly. On-site restaurants were well above average for food quality and service.

We had a great stay here. Our room overlooked the beach and was very nice to sit on the balcony and watch the ocean. It is nestled in the corner of the island and was never super crowded at the beach. We were able to get loungers. The staff were all very friendly and the breakfast buffet was very good as well. All in all we were very happy with our visit.

We didn’t stay at the hotel but purchased a day pass for $90 USD per person, and honestly, it didn’t quite feel worth the price. In fact, it seems like you could easily walk in without a pass—there are towels located right at the front, and no one asked for any verification that we were staying there or had resort access. The pool and jacuzzi areas are definitely outdated, with visible cracks and several missing tiles. The jacuzzi was also lukewarm instead of hot, which was disappointing. The beach itself had rough waves due to the cooler weather that day, so that part wasn’t the hotel’s fault. However, the shoreline is surrounded by rocks, making it difficult for the public to access without going through the resort. On the positive side, there were a few unique touches that we enjoyed. There’s a designated photo spot on the beach with large Barbadian sunglasses, which made for some fun pictures—just be careful not to touch it. A snow cone vendor came by for about an hour and offered free snow cones, including an alcoholic option, which was a fun surprise. Since we visited on Barbados’ Independence Day (11/30/25), the staff also walked around offering small free samples of traditional Barbadian foods. I’m not sure if these perks happen regularly, but they were definitely a nice addition to our visit. The day pass includes a $60 USD food credit, so we grabbed lunch at the bar. Unfortunately, the service there wasn’t great. Our waitress acted confused and somewhat rude when we asked about how the voucher worked. We also had to wait at least 10–15 minutes just to get her attention, even though it wasn’t busy—she spent most of the time slowly wiping down tables and didn’t seem interested in checking in. Overall, it was a decent day with a few memorable highlights, but between the outdated amenities and the poor service, I wouldn’t pay for this day pass again.
