Fabulous hotel with fantastic ocean view rooms from the 2nd and 3rd floors. Spotlessly clean with a range of excellent facilities. From our arrival we were very well looked after. Quick check in process, cold towels, cocktails and a guided tour of the room and its facilities. A superb buffet breakfast was included with everything you could imagine. Hot and cold food was on offer, with excellent service throughout. Lunch and dinner was available in the Taborus restaurant, which also provided breakfast. The Palm restaurant was also open from Wednesday through to Sunday for dinner. Excellent facilites included a gym, pool (with sunbeds), and a fabulous stretch of sandy beach next to the turquoise Caribbean sea, (with more sunbeds). Pool attendants were happy to help set up sunbeds with covers and towels. Regular patrols by beach attendants took and delivered drinks orders, We dined at the Taborus restaurant in the evening which provided a varied menu at reasonable prices for the Carribean. Concierge and reception were very helpful in organising taxis and tours. The hotel gardens are beautiful , with a free garden tour available mid week. There was a bus stop on the main road just outside the hotels, although we did not use the local buses. This is a superb hotel with friendly and professional staff to look after you on holiday. Watersports were available from the adjacent Beach Club with a range of equipment including Hobie Cats, Paddleboards, kayaks and snorkelling equipment (all free to use apart from the Hobie Cats). A special mention for Ryan who is one of the instructors. As we do not sail he took us out on a Hobie Cat and gave us a guided tour of the local coastline whilst keeping us amused by his stories, He really is a credit to the Beach Club. There is also a bar , toilets and an outside shower. This really was an excellent holiday and we would highly recommend this hotel on the lovely West coast.

Excellent rooms , relaxing stay with good food and drink options. Staff friendly but sometimes rather slow , particularly at breakfast. Most disappointing aspect was guests “ reserving” sunloungers and staff not controlling this even when left unused for several hours. Particularly strange as there are in fact plenty of beds if not blocked !

Just spent a week at the Royal Pavillion and was so happy we did. The staff greeted us warmly and were very attentive. The rooms with the ocean views were perfect. The grounds, although pretty look like they need a little updating as it looks like it hasn’t been painted in a few years. The breakfast area could be renovated as it is very hot while having breakfast and the area where food is served looks old. Overall we loved the Royal Pavillion and look forward to returning.

Hotel is the best location, literally 10 meters from room to the sea. Beach side restaurant on site is high quality, and the location is great to access high quality places locally. Rooms are immaculate, house keeping is on point and fresh. Linen perfect for a great nights sleep. All in all just perfect for a recharge in one of the most idyllic settings you will find.

I was staggered to read the couple of negative reviews on here having now stayed a week at the Fairmont. The location, service, staff and amenities are all fantastic. We booked the ground floor room with decking, free transfers and butler service which we highly recommend. The transfers went really smoothly, picked up literally off the plane and escorted through fast track security and offered a beer in the Concierge lounge as our car was a few minutes away, Laura our driver gave us a few tips on places to eat on the journey over (about half and hour) and dropped us to the door where we were got a warm reception from Wanda, a glass of Rum Punch (get used to that!) and then were taken to the room by our butler Rolston who was ably assisted by Dawn, Edwin and Peter over the week. Dawn was great with organising the outbound transport and late check out and the butlers will also help with any restaurant bookings etc. you want. Room was amazing, right on the beach, spacious and bright, and the private decking with really comfy loungers looks out at the sunset each night. Beach attendants are very attentive, especially Michael (Mr Rainbow Socks) who like all Bajans takes time to chat every time you see them. Staff in the hotel are also great, too many to mention but Adrian (Mr Omelette) Chereese, Shania, and especially Nicole stood out. Breakfast is plentiful and has a massive choice of anything you might think, with a local content as well, and choice varies daily from the hot buffet. Also an egg station for omelettes, poached eggs etc. Most days it is in the Palm Terrace Restaurant which looks out onto the beach, bit a couple of times it was in Taboras the other restaurant due to private functions being held at the Palm Terrace, this was well communicated in advance and made no difference to the breadth of choice etc. in fact it was nice to have the variety of locations over the week for breakfast. We also ate once in the evening and once at lunchtime at Taboras (see separate review) which was excellent and as far as lunch is concerned well priced against the local beach bars (similar price to JuJus, Jumas etc, for the food although the beers are more expensive here as you would expect.) Free use of non-powered watersports (Hobie Cats, Kayaks etc.) and also free mask and snorkel from the Beach Club at the south end of the hotel. All in all a truly wonderful experience, made very special by the fabulous staff and a hotel we will definitely return to. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
