Fairmont Royal Pavilion

Staff member at Beach Club rude we explained we were members but had not been there before, she refused to give us a towel each and was miserable and unhelpful. Staff at Beach Club restaurant Taboras ignored us so we moved on. It does have a nice beach area but so does the whole of that side of the coast you will always find a lovely bit of beach so for me that’s not enough to consider staying there in the future and in any case all the beaches in Barbados are public.

The staff members were very friendly and helpful. The quality of the room was excellent, including room service. The highlight was sailing with Ryan on the hobie cat. He gave us a very entertaining ride. The gym, though small, was very adequate. The beach doesn't get any better than Royal Pavilion's.

First of all, in the interest of being fair, I love Fairmont properties and stay often. This hotel is not up to Fairmont standards, by any means. My room included airport pick up & return. Was never picked up as the hotel never requested arrival information. All the rooms include free breakfast. It is terrible. Bacon that was only partially cooked. The sourdough & French breads for toasting frequently out. Jams ran out. Fresh berries ran out. When you asked about resupplying was told soon or none left. We had dinner in the pool restaurant once only. It was comprised of very dry BBQ chicken and a steak with no taste. The pool area is old and there is almost no pool service. When you did get service you had to sign with. each drink, in case they never returned. My room was very nice and the view is to die for. Gorgeous! Still, not enough to offset the mediocre food & service. Certainly not anywhere near 4 or 5 star property.

The Fairmont Royal Pavilions Mother's Day Lucheon surpassed my expectations.. The ambience was welcoming and the variety and quality of the buffet was spectacular. I must compliment the staff especially Elissa, Mr Singh and Michael, their customer service was exceptional.

This is our third time staying at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion and it always feels special. Peter the butler greeted us with, 'welcome home' when we arrived, which sums up how it feels to walk in. Our suite was comfortable and was meticulously kept clean twice a day - thank you. The beach is incredibly beautiful. The food and drinks were great. The thing that is most special about this place is the team. They go above and beyond whenever we are there. Special shout out to Alison, Jason, Rea, Renico and Simon.
