Reviews for The House by Elegant Hotels

Fantastic small hotel

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 days ago

Fantastic hotel. Spent ten nights there and had a ground floor junior king suite. From the moment I arrived till the time I left the staff and amenities were brilliant and they all looked after me. Can’t wait till go back. Special thanks to the bar staff Twacy and Wade etc who all looked after me everyday. Thank you all.

Just Fabulous from the minute you arrive until you have to leave!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

We have just come home from an amazing week and would go back again in a heartbeat; we were met by the always smiling and super helpful Kristyn and felt immediately relaxed and comfortable. Our room- ocean front on the 3rd floor was just beautiful. Spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need. fridge with water, beer & soft drinks. Premium toiletries and beautiful bedding. the balcony had a day bed for two plus a table and chairs, not forgetting a view to die for- the most breathtaking sunsets. Restaurant- from champagne breakfasts to an all-day menu, A La Carte lunch menu and then again at dinner. if you can find room canapes and/or afternoon tea also offered daily. We were never disappointed, the food here is delicious and beautifully presented. Everyone who works at The House are just some of the loveliest people we have ever met, and they work so hard to make sure you have the best time. Constantly asking if you need drinks or anything else come to that. Ice creams, cold towels and even sun lotion were offered daily. Special mention and please say hi for us to Kimella, Kwezi,Sophia,Agnes,Andrew, Denis and a big shout out to Ray who made us his special recipe cocktails and is just a great guy to chat too. I had a really good reflexology massage from Charlie on the beach $60 but worth it. The included watersports are a huge benefit - take advantage of the hobby cat and enjoy being taken up to have a look at Sandy Lane Hotel and a bit of the coastline too. Good snorkeling right from the beach. No crazy rush for sunbeds at all while we were there and while the pool isn't huge its plenty big enough. In a nutshell its the perfect place for a relaxing holiday and we cant wait to go back!

Service excellence at its best

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

This will be a long review. Starting with management. Jason Jordan and Nadia Shockness are assets to this organization. From the time we arrived we felt appreciated and loved. Everything was in place to make our anniversary and my husband’s birthday an exceptional experience. The staff from housekeeping to food service displayed excellent service. The food was excellent. The surprises in our room were beautiful. Turn down service every night we stayed. As well as an extremely clean room. The amenities were really great. Stacy in the spa did an excellent job with our massages. Congratulations on a job well done.

Wonderful boutique, Adults Only, all inclusive hotel with White Lotus vibes

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

The House is a wonderful boutique, Adults Only, all inclusive hotel with White Lotus vibes located on the desirable west/platinum coast of Barbados. The staff members were kind, friendly, and attentive. The pools were small, but refreshing. Snorkeling right off the beach was amazing the further you went away from shore. The bar kept drinks flowing. We went during the down (wet) season so there weren't many guests which was perfect for us. The only cons were the Italian restaurant on site was closed for major (demolished) renovations. In addition, four of the seven "sister" hotels that you can go to as part of the all inclusive benefits were also closed for renovations. The Bonvoy website did not mention these closures. One day we took the water taxi to the family friendly The Waves hotel (a sister hotel) for a few hours to ride jet skis and have drinks. We were very thankful we stayed at The House which is a more luxurious resort. The House is simply a fantastic place to stay while in Barbados!

Wonderful Holiday

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

My partner and I stayed at The House in July, and oh boy are we glad we did. From the minute we walked through the arched entrance we were met with a view of the Caribbean Sea and quickly greeted by Shanae and Jason. From this point it was clear this was going to be an excellent holiday. The room was beautiful, spacious and spotlessly clean with fantastic sea views. The hotel has a fantastic atmosphere relaxed, informal and friendly with the staff continually looking after you with drinks, ice cream, cold towels, fresh fruit to name a few. Breakfast was buffet (quality buffet) with a la carte for lunch & dinner - all the meals were excellent. The setting is wonderful but it’s the staff that make a real difference, all of them from gardeners, maintenance, housekeeping, bar, restaurant, spa, front of house and management, yes a long list but they are all great and make a real difference. Special mention to Wade and Andrew who made us laugh on a daily basis and Shanae at front of house for everything, especially for finding us the perfect sunset cruise. Finally, Jason who went above and beyond to make our holiday truly special. We are already planning our next visit. Thank you.
