  Colony club was a pleasant surprise ✨

  I had the chance to visit Colony Club Barbados during its first week after renovation. The grounds were great they really refurbed the space. Food I had breakfast and room service, for breakfast every day there were new dishes and everything tasted great especially the bajan cherry juice. I was able to order Hopscotch delivery & Cheffet to the resort, next time I would love to try the on-site restaurants. Beach Amazing there was no seaweed and there were lots of space on the beach. It looks like other Marriott resorts were able to visit so it got a bit busy but there were plenty of chairs. Rooms I arrived early and my room was ready within 30 mins of arrival the team was very accommodating. They were spotless and had very nice finishing the new renovation come with brand new furniture. I had a swim out the water was perfect temp and the patio table was a bonus. Overall I think this was a great resort to spend the end of my vacation and would go back.

  Beautiful & relaxed - a little bit of paradise

  Relaxed elegant hotel with a stunning beach. The gardens are beautiful and luscious with well placed sun loungers around the pool providing a little shade when needed. The staff were friendly and housekeeping super helpful. Lovely to have lunch on the deck with a sea view. There were enough varied vegetarian options. A shout out must go to Jamar and his team at the water centre - we loved water skiing.

  Drinks massively overpriced.

  Firstly, after reading some reviews I was a little shocked and our experience doesn’t compare to some. We had a suite and apart from the bathroom been very dated and the bath been dangerous to get in/out for a shower (we had no separate shower) bath also looked like it was about to fall through 🙈(room 216) the room was lovely and always cleaned well by a lovely friendly lady. 2 bottles of water provided each evening was also an added bonus. Air conditioning was good and the room nice and cool. Breakfast was really nice and always hot. The birds are something else! Whilst eating you have birds flying everywhere and landing on your table. You can’t leave your food unattended or the birds will be on it in seconds. Bird droppings also on tables. I think this is something that should be looked into during the refurb. We would have given 4 stars but the hotel is let down by this. Barring one member of staff all are friendly and happy to help, We found Heather very rude! The pools are lovely, although the back pool could do with a good clean. We used the pool at the front which was ok. The gardens are kept lovely also. Pool towels provided and plenty of fresh ones available. The beach is really nice and free water sports as an added bonus. The pool bar is way overpriced and such a shame as we only purchased drinks during happy hour after getting stung by a huge bar bill on our first evening! 2 bottles of beer, 2 double baileys and 2 Jack Daniel’s £130. This was British pounds not Dollars or Barbados dollars! Hence another reason why we never give 4 stars. Although we wouldn’t return, but this is mainly down to the choice of not holidaying in Barbados again I do think some reviews are a bit harsh given our experience. Oh and get that poor budgie some toys bless her.

  Relaxing and sensual experience

  This hotel has a wonderful location and character which we very much appreciated. Our room was well furnished, spacious and comfortable. There is an intimate feel to the hotel even though it is spacious and it is visually very attractive. We particularly liked the gardens and grounds which are kept in very good condition and contribute to a feeling of tranquility. We found the staff to be friendly and usually keen to be helpful. The beach is a feature of the hotel. The sun-loungers were comfortable and the hotel security staff provide a reassuring presence. The quality of food was very good, both at breakfast and dinner but we found the menu range much more limited than on previous visits. Arriving for dinner in the evening we experienced groups of people still eating the all day menu and dressed in beachwear which detracted from the evening dining experience. We intend to visit after the refurbishment and very much hope that Marriott can retain the traditional character and charm of this hotel whilst upgrading the physical environment. We have great affection for this hotel and we know many other do too. We hope any changes are introduced with careful regard to the hotels existing reputation.
