The Club, Barbados Resort and Spa

Wife and I Along with another couple stayed at The Club Barbados in April 2025 for a short get away. At first look we thought the resort was a little outdated but the rooms were very spacious and very clean. We headed down to the beach and realized that it was a very small resort with an amazing view. The resort is all inclusive and every meal we had was amazing!!! The wait staff were incredibly nice and quick to fill your glass when empty. I believe it was day 2 when we were at the Beach when all the fun started. We met Steve Chandler a local who approached us at our chairs. Very friendly guy who’s stories made us all laugh. Well Steve is the guy to know if you need anything in Barbados!! On day 3 Steve was our personal guide, day 4 Steve set us up with an amazing Catamaran tour and on day five Steve even drove us to the airport. So if you ever stay at The club Barbados Steve is the man to book all your tours!! If you are looking for a small all inclusive resort in Barbados I highly recommend The Club Barbados.

Leading up to every vacation, I read the Tripadvisor reviews to determine how to get the most out of a resort. It becomes obvious the pros and cons and that is what I will provide here - the real facts. Do NOT come to this resort if you prefer a large, modern, full of life, with many amenities vacation. Do NOT come here if you want to lay on a lounge chair on the beach, if you have mobility problems, or if you like to party at a disco well into the night. Absolutely DO come here if you like the boutique resort feel, where you can always get a lounge chair by the pool, where you never have to wake up early to book dinner reservations, where you rarely wait in line for anything and within less than a minute walk, you have access to Sandy Lane beach which is one of the nicest in the world. DO come to Club Barbados if you want to stay at a very clean resort, with Caribbean charm, walk safely into town, peaceful setting where there is always something good to eat, the entertainment is chill, and the drinks are plentiful. The staff are hit and miss but in the end very reliable and if you are friendly so are they. I would absolutely recommend this place … but for what I have indicated. Do your research, know what you are getting into, and you won’t be disappointed.

Island time and service was very frustrating. Had reservations at Enid restaurant for 6:30 arrived on time and walked into darkness. Staff hadn't turned on lights- not ready yet! Virtually zero pool side service, staff walk away after picking up empty glasses and you don't see them again. Small, dated resort. Food basic with limited choices Alert for anyone with any mobility issues, many level changes of platforms and steps to beach, no elevators Lists a few bars and restaurants but in reality you can see them all from one corner of resort Reported bugs in room, we dealt with those we could reach with wet towel, told you must have left a light on. Had to insist they send a maintenance person to spray - didn't want to sleep with bugs. Beach nice and walkable but not long We have discovered we are big resort people and will follow our bliss elsewhere

Stayed here in March. Yes the hotel is dated but very clean and great location. I had a superior garden room near the pool which I loved. The food is very good somerhing for everyone unless you are ultra picky. The staff are efficient like any hotel some who stand out. If you are polite, friendly to them you get polite friendly back. Evening entertainment most nights was good and enjoyable. The beach at Sandy Lane is fab and good place to snorkel from beach or venture out on an excursion for a better experience. Try an get an early departure as the main areas for snorkelling get very busy. Ive been to Barbados many times and stayed in various locations but feel this was the best by far for me travelling for the first time on my own. Thank you Club Barbados .

The resort is very nice. However it is small and NOT what we thought it might be. The pictures make it seem bigger than what it is. The only other all inclusive resort we have done was in Cancun with a very large and had many more amenities. The all inclusive fees($185 each per night + resort fees $50 a day) were very high in our opinion. So for the money, I thought it was not a good value compared to what we had previously. The food was good(not great) and plentiful. They were out of chicken wings from their snack menu for the first 3 days we were there. Service was pretty good. Just one evening we waited for 25 minutes for our dessert. Lack of direct access to the beach was a little inconvenience. You have to walk about 200-300 yards to get on the sandy beach. Pools were small but nice with plenty of lounge chairs. That being said, Barbados is BEAUTIFUL and the weather was nearly perfect. We had a very relaxing vacation.
