Saint James Hotels

The room was huge (since it was an apartment) and well furnished. Full kitchen was great for quick breakfasts, which we ate out on on patio. Laundry was very welcome, so we could rinse and dry our bathing suits and beach towels (supplied by the hotel) every evening. Staff was very friendly and helpful, booking us excursions, dinners and a rental car. Highly recommend the Beachview.

The accommodations were like new. The kitchen had everything we needed. The view is great. The Beach View has two wonderful pools and a beautiful beach is just across the road. The Beach View is a little far from the airport (the hotel arranged for one of their preferred cab drivers to meet our late evening flight), but otherwise well located. It is on a main busy street and local buses ($1 US) are frequent and provide a memorable ride to Holetown or Bridgetown. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. There are several very good restaurants within walking distance and others a short bus ride away. The staff happily made reservations (recommended) for us. I can't say enough good things about this place, and we are eager to get back to recapture that Barbados feeling.

The hotel is very nice with a friendly staff. Nice and private! The rooms all open to the ocean and at night it feels like you are sleeping on the beach. Highly recommend this hotel. We enjoyed the afternoon 'high tea' (complimentary).

Given the opportunity to travel without our children we researched where to go and stay. People I spoke to always said that Barbados was their favorite island when cruising and the internet reviews of Fairmont Royal Pavilion were very high. It surpassed our expectations! The hotel was lovely. All rooms are entered off of courtyards on the east side of the building, so all of the rooms face west to the Caribbean Sea. Walls of your room extend to the end of your patio so the rooms/patios are very private. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was pretty and spacious, the patio is hot but lovely to lie out on at night. You will leave still hearing the lapping of the sea on the shore! Food at the Fairmont restaurants Palm Terrace and Cafe Taboras was excellent, loved all of the fish dishes. Palm Terrace has live nightly entertainment, go in for a drink and enjoy the music, all of the groups were terrific, it was so relaxing. Bring a magazine or a book to Cafe Taboras and enjoy tea from 3:30 - 5pm, my favorite time of the day, little sandwiches and scones delivered to your table with tea, coffee or iced tea with simple syrup (yummy!) Their rum punch was delicious.My husband loved the ice cold Banks beer $4 at Juju's next door.The beach was beautiful you have to swim out to the white raft and enjoy the breeze! We rode public/private buses & taxis, visited St. Nicholas Abbey, Crane Beach, went surfing at Zed's, ate in Holetown & St. Lawrence Gap, Jammin catamaran cruise (Tiami/Cool Runnings heard were good). The people on the island were very nice. The staff at the Fairmont was excellent. Everyone was pleasant, helpful and friendly. We loved everything! Truly relaxing & fun!

We just got back from Tamarind after a 7 day stay.  Firstly, the grounds are amazing and the entire staff were very friendly.   I gave this a 4 because the room was nice , but the shower doors were a little funky and we would end up with a huge puddle on the floor.   The breakfast bar was great.  Lots to choose from.   Was not too crazy about the lunch menu,  not a lot of choices, plus had fish on two occasions and it was extremely salt .  Also lots off birds show up at breafast,  not a fan. Nice beach. Clean rooms.  The duvet was a nice touch and the bed was very comfortable .

Our stay was Sept 19-23 2012. We stayed in room 337. Upon pulling up to the property I was not impressed. From the outside it looks a little raggedy. The inside looks much better than the outside! Check-in was easy, they offer a welcome Rum punch and a cold towel to cool you down(mine smelled weird so I didnt use it). The room was wonderful. It looks as if the room was renovated but you can tell overall it is an older building. No elevator. The room was a nice size, nice size bed, large balcony overlooking the pool area. Great space to sit out. The bathroom was a decent size, I didnt really understand the tub/shower door (when you take a shower water goes everywhere.) The included water sports were a great addition! Water skiing was fun! The included breakfast was also great. Some of the food changed everyday but for the most part they always had the omelet station, fruit, pancakes, bacon/sausage and breads/pastries. Wonderful way to start the day off! I just wish breakfast started earlier and ended later. The business center and fitness facility were great and we did put those to use. The managers cocktail hour on Wednesday was fun, great finger foods and delicious drinks! Everyone on staff at this hotel is super friendly and always willing to help.(almost to the point of irritation). Overall very nice stay, very friendly staff, good food...and good fun!

It's right in the heart of all the activities, Has a great restaurant and amenities.

The wifi signal was internment

Meh

Dirty, dated, noisy, quite ugly.

The hotel was quite aged. The room the put me in seemed very old. The ac was not working properly and it had a view of the dirt lot next door. When I checked my reservation I realized I'd actually paid for a room with a balcony and this did not have one so I called down to the front desk, they did not seem happy about this call but when someone came back they said they had a room for me. So they put me in a smaller room on the first floor, facing the street, but it did have a working ac and a balcony. Just not what I was expecting for the rate I paid! Everything seemed old, worn down and dingy.

We truly enjoyed the Accra Hotel. The location is great! We were steps away from the boardwalk. There are stores and restaurants in the immediate area. Transportation was 100 steps away. This hotel is very convenient. The housekeeping staff was very efficient. The grounds were well kept. It was truly a good experience. The beach was perfect

We didn't care that much for the food and it was a little pricey.

The hotel is beachfront, nicely laid out, comfy, clean.

It does not protect the guests from taxi overcharging - the only country I've been to (and I've been to many) where taxi fare from the airport to the hotel is cheaper than from the hotel to the airport!! Taxi overall is expensive, and there are no cheaper alternatives for families. Ocean waves were all the time too choppy to swim. Hotel could use renovation.

Really friendly staff, good amenities and nice location

We stayed for 2 weeks. The hotel was much nicer than we had expected. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. The room was great lots of space to unpack for a 2 week stay. Lovely view and great beach. Thank you Coral Sands

The view from the balcony is to die for!! We stayed on the 3rd floor of this 4-story hotel and had a wonderful view. The location is good if you are looking for something near restaurants and bars that you can walk to, but far enough away to not hear it. Be sure to walk down the beach to Carib Bar & Grill--Great moderately priced casual beachfront restaurant. I only have 3 complaints: 1. They only had 5 beach chairs available (for a hotel with 36 or so rooms, that seemed like a very small amount). 2. All the pillows on the beds smelled like a mildewy towel. I had to smell all of them to find just one that didn't make me gag. But it was hardly something to complain about. 3. No free Internet. The rooms were immaculately clean--huge bath area with double sink and walk-in shower. The hotel staff is very friendly, like all Barbadians we encountered. We loved the full kitchen. Be sure to go the grocery store down the side street from the one on the main street. The one on the main street is really expensive and hardly offers anything. Breakfast on the balcony every morning was the best! The white buses that go down the main street take you just about anywhere you need to go for $2. Don't be afraid to take them, the entertainment in them are truly a great experience.

We had three nights at the resort after 10 days on a catamaran in the Grenadines and it was great. Wonderful views, pools, and beach. Good food options. Will stay again!

Staff were wonderful from people working in hotel to people on beach. Hotel was immaculate, clean, and gorgeous! Great example of what a resort should be. Food was delicious. No complaints there.

Wish it was all inclusive. AC in room didn't come out as high as we wanted. Seaweed on beach. All of Barbados was dealing with this issue. However The Crane had staff cleaning the beach/seaweed daily.

The staff and owners were overly accommodating, even giving me a ride to a local medical clinic for a non-emergent issue. The property was just lovely, very quaint with a local flair. You received a drink of choice upon arrival and all staff (and even some locals hanging at bar/ restaurant) were very very friendly. Look forward to staying again the next time I am passing through Barbados!

For experienced travellers to Barbados, who want moderate rates without sacrificing quality, the Plum Tree is the perfect place. It is nestled in the bucolic, manicured setting of Rockley Golf Club and close to the best beaches and hotels Barbados has to offer. It is safe, clean, quiet. It is simply a treat!

Condos were a little out of the way,however transportation was provided. We had a late flight and thankfully had our transporter stop us by KFC or we would have been starving. There are no close restaurants or stores. The place was lovely, but one night the weather was muggy and the mosquitos came out, there are no screens on the windows or sliding doors and no AC in the general area, only the bedroom. If you are a little adventerous and want a cozy place to spend some quality time, this is the place for you. If you need convenience and proximity to EVERYTHING, you might want to look elsewhere. Definitely should rent a car if you stay here. We did not since we were not comfortable with driving on a different side. Housekeeping came everyother day which was adequate and they did a spotless job cleaning.

The facility was very clean and the grounds well maintained. I was pleasantly surprised at the state of the apartment that we stayed in, my 18 year old son and myself. It was in very good condition and quite comfortable. BREAKFAST WAS GREAT!!!

The entrance driveway was a bit rough and bumpy and the parking area was completely undone. It would be great if they at least paved the parking area.

Location, scenery

The restaurant was closed

This hotel is overpriced. They have a restaurant that was not even opened ao I had to take a cab into town just to get something to eat and the cab costs are a rip off. I was advised by the hotel it would cost me $15 each way to bw picked up feom the airport and dropped off the next day, but was charged $50 for the pickup!!! Might as well just get a regular cab as their driver is a crook.

I liked how the staff is 100% dedicated to helping you have the greatest vacation. They even got me a rental car at the last minute! Very friendly. The view is absolutely spectactlar.

The Wifi leaves something to be desired. It was only availible outside my room (I had to go to my porch) or go down to the pool.

I liked how friendly staff was! I arrived 3 hours later than I was supposed to, 2 in the morning and I was still greeted with a warm welcome! Housekeeping was efficient each day. The bathroom is nice and spacious and the beds were warm and soft. The living room had a comfy couch and and kitchenette. It felt like a home away from home. Would definitely recommend!

I wish that we would have been able to use more than two devices on the internet connection. I could only connect my phone and my boyfriend's phone... wasn't able to add my laptop.

Nice big uncrowded pool, beautiful surrounding, very close to the beach.

The mattress could be more comfortable. Water pressure in the shower was very low and water kept changing temperature from hot to cold.

Ol' guy waited for me to reach quite late, to ensure that I could get the keys to my room, which had an okay size.

The beds were hard, the water was warm only, the television was a challenge to operate, and I had to pay for air-conditioning!

Staff was good at what they did. They were helpful. Housekeeping was good. Food was good. Location was also good but too much construction in the area.

However we did have a few problems with the rooms. They were too small and the bathroom in the hallway was very difficult to maneuver around. Some issues with the phone and stove. Some essential things were missing such as dish rag, paper towel. Pool looked a little dirty.
