The Club Barbados Resort & Spa

Barbados, Caribbean

Virgin rating

The hotel

This adults-only, all inclusive resort is perfect for a relaxing holiday in the Barbados sun. Situated on the west coast, The Club overlooks the Caribbean sea and is a peaceful and friendly place to while away sunny afternoons with a good book and a refreshing drink. Tucked away and intimate, there’s a split-level swimming pool and a full-service spa offering couples massages, aromatherapy salt scrubs and body wraps. Or build up an appetite for dinner by diving into the abundance of water sports, play tennis or enjoy a guided morning walk. The two restaurants will tempt you to dine in-house, but lively Bridgetown is just a short drive away and well worth exploring too. You can partake in weekly rum tastings, or simply chill out, watch the sunset and round off another day in paradise.

The staff were very friendly and attentive. The front desk staff were pleasant and helpful when we were looking for things to do around the island. The staff at the restaurant were also friendly and took care of us. The bartenders were very busy and very patient with everyone. The food was ok. Enids was better than Sunset grill and the options are limited. The rooms aren't super modern but the views are amazing. The entertainment was ok, but everything ends at 11. Unfortunatly, there were some women smoking cigarettes at the pool. The resort has designated smoking areas but these women were in the heart of the resort, stinking up the place and no one said anything to them. The resort is in a great location surrounded by beautiful beaches and beautiful homes. Read less

Our 3rd visit to the hotel, we return for the relaxed atmosphere, good food, helpful staff and good location. The access to Sandy Lane beach is easy even at high tide - the beach and sea swimming are wonderful. The one downside is the sun lounger ‘race’ each morning.

The access to Sandy Lane beach is easy even at high tide - the beach and sea swimming are wonderful. The one downside is the sun lounger ‘race’ each morning. This time a group of 10 would be up and reserving their beds about 6.30am and some of those beds not used at all all day! Also noticed some guests reserving both pool and sea front loungers - stopping others using them, not sure what the hotel need to do tbh Read less

Highly recommend. Laid back. Lovely staff - Jocelyn in the restaurant was excellent. We had a great holiday and the sea is gorgeous. We had a problem at checkout but swiftly sorted and we were given facilities for a late checkout- always a bonus with a long haul to follow

What a lovely authentic hotel, stayed end of Nov begining of Dec, my partner and I 1st visit to Barbados, glad we picked The Club, staff wonderful, charming and friendly always smiling, It was my partners 60th, while we were there and the staff were brilliant, firework, and cake after evening meal, a lovely surprise for him, and the staff gather to sing H/B. Caroline always around on hand for any questions, making sure everyone is having a good time, a absolute gem to this place. Room was lovely with a sitting room and bedroom, A/C as well as a ceiling fan above the bed, lovely big balcony with loungers, we over looked the beach bar, so could see the see between the bar and restaurant. Food and Restaurant was excellent, never went hungry plenty on offer at each sitting Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. It was what we were looking for a relaxing 10 days in the sun. Would we return try and stop us. Read less

This is a great resort and good value for money. Food good and varied, loved that the Sunset restaurant was buffet or a la carte some nights. Enids was more rustic in appearance but the food top quality and beautifully presented. Most of the charm of this resort is that it feels authentic, warm and welcoming as were the staff. The bars were great and the drinks and cocktails fab, branded spirits were always available. Pool areas, lawn and sea front had plenty of sun loungers, but the ones in the sun were usually taken before 8am every day! The resort was the smallest we had visited for many years, however it felt spacious and we found that it had more atmosphere in the evenings as the bars, seating areas, stage, floor etc were all in the same area with the restaurant next door. We found the entertainment better than we had had in many years, lots of different but similar acts and a lot of 70s/80s music which suited us. The location was fine for us as I am not very mobile at the moment. Took the reggae bus to Holetown and sat on the beautiful beach and drink in the surfside bar. It didn't bother us that our resort did not have a beach as it clearly says that in the description. However sunsets are lovely on the loungers. Went to Oistins Fish Fry, was a bit of a let down and wasn't really our thing. Can't see the attraction to be honest. All seemed a bit "frantic", busy, noisy and didn't seem as described. Felt it was more to catch a tourist rather than enjoy the locals letting their hair down as it was advertised. Some toilets were awful. Read less
