Fairmont Royal Pavilion

We were so happy to be back and can’t wait to return. There is absolutely no other place on Barbados that I would stay but here. They have the best rum punch, best beach, but more importantly the best staff that always provides impeccable service. Thank you for another wonderful stay!

We have been to this hotel twice before and it is amazing. We were hoping to go next week and we had the most amazing support from fairmount. My husband has been unwell and the fairmont bent over backwards to help us. Sadly we weren’t able to travel but we are looking forward to going soon. This would always be our hotel of choice in Barbados. The staff are amazing.

We had a really wonderful time at the Fairmont. The rooms were super comfortable, the view from our balcony was stunning - spent many hours gazing at the beautiful crystal clear turquoise sea - the food in the restaurant is delicious, the beach is idyllic with a beautiful pontoon you can swim to. But what really makes Fairmont is the staff. They were so friendly and helpful. Special shout out for Ryan (watersports), Joann, Shane and the lovely young man who does the housekeeping (sorry, didn’t catch your name!) Thanks Fairmont, hopefully see you again soon. Family Webb.

Where do I start!! From the moment we arrived our hostess was so nice and explained everything to us. That rum drink was delicious I even drank my husband’s!! We celebrated our anniversary and in the room waiting for us was a bottle of champagne and a lovely note. The room was nice just the bathroom needs a little makeover. We did not want to come home! Your staff was amazing (I don’t understand the other reviews about them) big shout outs to first Sabrina who welcomed us for breakfast and lunch each day with a big smile. Renee and Ria (Rhea maybe I’m spelling it wrong, sorry) what can I say we fell In love with them! They spent time with us. full of so much information! Renee when she saw us always waved hi and made a point of coming over to us to talk. She is beautiful inside and out! Ria and her kindness and so much fun to spend time with. We never had to wait for a cocktail, she was on it!!! I loved spending time with her in the sitting area by the bar. Also a beauty inside and out!! Rolston wow what a gentlemen!! Big smiles every time we saw him and set a really nice in room dining table. Let’s not forget Rashad from the pool area! Such a young gentleman. He looked for us and really set us up for the day. One day I asked is there a store that I can go to to get a noodle for the ocean and he said just one moment and ran and got me one! Thank you for your amazing staff and a great time away!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 stay holiday at your hotel. It was recommended to us by friends but we had read several negative TP reviews prior to our stay and so we were a little nervous what we would experience. We arrived to a friendly warm greeting when checking in which was a quick process. We were offered some rum punch which was a nice start to our holiday then shown to our room which was spacious although a few areas did look a little tired. We had a view to die for (with a good sized terrace) of what I can only imagine must be one of the world’s best beaches. This really is the Fairmonts biggest draw…the beach, it’s absolutely stunning. All the staff we engaged with were friendly, fun and in most cases efficient. Special mention goes to Nicole who was always so smiley and attentive at the beach. Lorenzo, Joanne and Alison were also staff members we engaged with often and who were always eager to please. Thank you very much to Marva Gail who sorted out a small issue at dinner one evening for us, she went above and beyond for our family. Whilst breakfast at the hotel was good, we felt that the quality could have been better. One of the restaurants was closed during our 8 day stay and whilst the beach bar offered a good varied lunch and dinner menu, it would have been good to have another option. We did however take advantage of all the brilliant restaurants that were only around 10/15 mins away in an Uber. We have been fortunate enough to stay at lots of wonderful hotels over the world and I feel it’s fair to say that the Fairmont in Barbados has some areas to work on. It really could be an exceptional hotel in an exceptional location.
