Fairmont Royal Pavilion

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.

We have just completed a wonderful 12-day Bed and Breakfast stay at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion, and we are absolutely blown away. Set in pretty gardens overlooking the most beautiful aquamarine sea, we stayed in a Signature Oceanfront King on the 3rd Floor (Room 337) which had the most incredible view. The bed was comfortable and had plug points on both sides. Tea and coffee facilities were great, and there is a stocked, reasonably priced mini-bar. The room was very quiet and was serviced twice a day to a exceptionally high standard.The food at Taboras Restaurant was delicious. We were impressed on every occasion with the pizza, fish, salads, and burgers, to name a few, which were all excellent. Breakfast was served efficiently and was inclusive of all the usuals—hot food, eggs cooked to order, and bacon—but also some delicious Caribbean options alongside fresh fruit, cereals, and pastries.The pool was lovely and as warm as a bath, but we spent most of our time at the beach, which is even more beautiful than in the pictures. It is super relaxing, offering the perfect balance of waves gently lapping while boats and jet skis whizz by to watch. It was always easy to find a sun lounger, which were set up with two towels per bed each day and followed up with excellent bar and food service all day. While on the beach, we used the floats out at sea to rest on and had a go at the complimentary paddleboarding, which was readily available. Other watersports are available at a cost; we did a boat trip to swim with turtles, went jet skiing, and tried the inflatable sofa.There are fantastic local restaurants within steps of the hotel, including Lone Star and Jumas, as well as the burger van next door on the beach. You can easily walk into Holetown during the daytime or catch a quick taxi.The atmosphere at the hotel was very, very relaxed. There were a couple of nights with a live saxophonist at dinner, but no loud, overwhelming entertainment schedule, which is exactly how we liked it. The general bar and restaurant areas are all very sociable and friendly. The resort itself is lovely, but what truly makes this place paradise is the incredible staff. Every single day, the team went above and beyond with a warmth and professionalism that is impossible to match. Without fail, every member of staff we came across acknowledged us in a friendly manner, and so many around the resort even somehow knew our names! While the entire team was lovely, we want to give a special mention and massive thank you to the following staff members who made our stay so memorable:The Dining Team Mary Anne, Theresa, Tiffany, Andre, Sabrina, Shakeem and Kobe, The Bar Team Kyle, St. Claire, Reia, Lorenzo and Nicole and then Ryan and Michael on the beach thank you all for taking such amazing care of us.

My wife and I stayed in Fairmont hotel whilst in Barbados. Have to say the hotel was really nice, our room (thanks to Tia-Marie) was amazing and breakfast was very tasty. The hotel staff were great however there are 3 staff members who were absolutely amazing. Tia-Marie was great. She gave us a great room and made this very special for us. She had an amazing customer service and definitely is an asset to the hotel. Also especial thanks to the beach crew, Ryan and Derek. Both were great and very friendly. They arranged a lot of water activities for us and absolutely amazing. Highly recommend the hotel
