Fairmont Royal Pavilion

The hotel is excellent! To be perfectly honest, the customer service is extraordinary The hotel is great because of the staff( hopefully management recognize this) the staff are amazing, wonderfully warm. welcoming and will do anything to better your experience To name but a few Tiffany/ Nicki, Shakeem and Crystal I know I have missed others but they are not forgotten The food was absolutely fantastic always beautifully presented never a disappointment I will be back sooner rather than later :)

From the moment we arrived at the Fairmont in Barbados, we were welcomed with warm smiles and genuine hospitality that set the tone for an unforgettable stay. The food was consistently excellent—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, whether it was a casual beachside lunch or an elegant dinner. What really stood out, though, was the staff. Every interaction felt sincere and attentive. You could tell the team enjoyed their work, and that kind of morale doesn’t happen by accident—it’s a reflection of strong, thoughtful management. When staff are supported and happy, it shows, and at the Fairmont, it translated into top-tier service across the board. This wasn’t just a luxury experience—it felt personal. It’s clear that the Fairmont doesn’t just invest in its property, but in its people, and that makes all the difference. Highly recommended. P.s. my wife would like to add: there are no bugs lol.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our eight day vacation at the beautiful Fairmont Pavilion! First and foremost, the beach, with its brilliant white sand, pristine, body refreshing waters, and awesome evening sunsets, is one of the most beautiful we have experienced in our many travels throughout the Caribbean. The fact that the weather was ideal during the majority of our stay, and the beach had zero sargassum sea weed (not the case with several other Barbados beaches) made our vacation that much more relaxing, exhilarating and euphoric. Secondly, the resort staff was invariably polite, personable and professional. Upon arrival, there was some staff confusion regarding the specific resort package we had purchased, but this issue was quickly and correctly resolved in our favor. Special recognition is due our maids Mareece and Shantel for their efficient and meticulous care of our “home away from home”. Kudos to the property manager for quickly replacing our damaged vanity chair. We greatly appreciate the stellar service rendered by bartender, St. Clair, and others like Kadijah, Ashlee, Rosella and our butler, Rolston, Finally, we would be remiss if we did not mention how much we enjoyed our culinary experiences at Fairmont. The food was generally delectable and salubrious. Particularly noteworthy was the lunch buffet that included stewed chicken, rice and peas, and several other delicious side dishes. Also, the breakfast dining area impressed us with a separate room filled with an awesome assortment of fruits, cereals, bread, muffins and pastries. They also recognized our 41st Wedding Anniversary with a cake and decorations on our bed. In summary, we would highly recommend Fairmont to anyone seeking a great time of swimming, dining and tranquil relaxing!

As a travel designer who has stayed at lots of resorts, I can confidently say the service at Fairmont Pavilion truly stands out. Ryan from the non-motorized water sports team at Fairmont Pavilion was absolutely amazing! He took us out on a sailboat excursion along the coast and made the whole experience so much fun. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and had great energy the entire time. The best part? He even let me take over and sail for a bit! It was such a memorable highlight of our trip. If you’re staying at the Fairmont, definitely find Ryan, you won’t regret it! And shoutout to Crystal at the restaurant, her service and hospitality were superb. She was so warm, attentive, and made us feel truly taken care of. Between the amazing staff and beautiful surroundings, this stay exceeded all expectations!

For me and my wife Fairmont Royal Pavilion is very special. We honeymooned here in 2023, and came again this year for our 2 year anniversary. Many of the staff at the hotel remembered us from our previous trip, and after walking away from our trip in 2023 with such happiness, this return very much felt like a welcome home. The proximity to the beach is unbeatable, the water is unreal, and the resort staff are really exceptional. Many to name, Renico, Dario, Shane, Michael, Simon, Glyne, Ryan, Lorenzo, St Claire, but the list extends to the rest of the staff and management. The food at the restaurant was excellent, and we loved the breakfast (whoever is making those pancakes deserves a raise). The resort was able to accommodate our early arrival, and very flexible throughout our stay. We extended our stay 2 more nights because we were having such a wonderful time, and the hotel facilitated the accommodation seamlessly. Couldn't ask for more. We absolutely love Fairmont Royal Pavilion and had a wonderful time. We look forward to coming back, and I want to reiterate that the beautiful beach and awesome staff really make this a magical place to visit.
