Island Inn

We were there for Valentine's day and stayed a week. This small hotel is perfect if you want to spend a quiet and relaxing vacation. When we were there the guests were almost exclusively British and mostly above 50 years old. We were told that there is a lot of repeat guests all year around. The staff is exceptionally pleasant and friendly. The hotel being so small, they get to know you quickly. The hotel itself is generally in good condition and adequately maintained. Our room (#4) had a garden view. It was in OK condition but a bit small and dated in our opinion. Next time we will select a better room. The food is excellent. Most of the time you select your meal from the menu at lunch and dinner. A few times it was buffet style. Breakfast is always a buffet. There is also a couple of theme nights. They had a few shows in the evening and we enjoyed them. From the hotel you can walk to the beach (public beach). It is only a 2 minutes walk. You can snorkel right from the beach and you get to see plenty of different fish as well as turtles. No need to pay for an excursion. They rent chairs and umbrellas on the beach (20 USD a day) or you can put your towel directly on the beach. There are trees so you can be in the shade if you prefer. One thing we found awesome is that they bring the race horses at the beach to bathe and swim in the ocean on a daily basis. On Sunday there was about twelve horses in the water at the same time. You can also walk into Bridgetown. We did a lot of that. There are all sorts of things to see or do nearby such a horse racing track, historical museum visit, an extremely lively an interesting commercial street, etc. There are monkeys around the hotel even though it is right into town. We found this quite fun. Wifi works in the lobby but not in the rooms. It was our first time staying at such a small hotel but we really loved it. We seriously consider going back.

Stayed from 2nd Feb for 10 nights In a garden view room. Where do I start staff amazing, food brilliant. Rooms small but clean and has everything you need. It's a very pretty little hotel maybe for the older generation I was there for my 50th and we were the youngest there. The beach is literally 30 seconds away and what a beach wow. You an even pop back to the hotel for drinks and they will put them In plastic glasses for you to take back to the beach. Ask jj on the beach for sunlounges 15 bbd for 2. And catch the reggae buses to get around 3.50 bbd each, a great experience. Love Barbados felt very safe at night the people are amazing definitely goi g back.

This is a wonderful little resort.across the street from the beach.walking distance from town. It's an interesting structure as an old rum storage warehouse. Room was good and house keeping did a wonderful job. Dining was super.Always options and the chefs accommodated the wifes allergies everyday. Thanks well done. Always a cool drink at the bar.lots of Brits,Scots and Irish there. Once they figured we were Canadian not Americans things were warmer lol. A couple of monkeys visit in morning,quite cute. The beach is to die for ,powder sand.barter for the chairs and umbrellas, when they knew us it was a set price for week. Warmest water in the Caribbean. Only the rooms are air conditioned. But you wont need it else where.I was comfortable dining in the evening with long pants. We dove out of Barbados Blue. A wonderful outfit with very qualified people. The great story here is how the owner is growing coral and looking after the reefs.well done sir. The real secret at the Inn is the staff. Many staff there for 40,38,30 years and others for a long time also. They guide the other staff to great customer service. They made a good vacation great. PS we photographed seahorses. Our goal for a couple of years. See ya again soon like many of your other customer told us. They returned for 18 yrs and another for 10 years and many others had the same story.
