“Perfect hotel and loved Barbados”

Reviewed May 13, 2013 NEW

Fairmont Royal Pavilion is a lovely hotel in a great location on what is surely one of the best beaches in Barbados. All rooms are ocean front and have large balcony or terraces from which to enjoy the picture perfect views. The very best feature however is the amazing staff team - 160 staff serve just 78 rooms and all... More

“Sunday buffet lunch”

Reviewed May 6, 2013

We did not stay here (although looks great) but we have used the beach bar a few times which is a welcome rest from the sun and a good lunch snack place. We booked in for the Sunday buffet (til 3pm) and it was fantastic. Pricey but worth it great selection and choice inc a BBQ area. Steel band guy... More

“Charming as ever”

Reviewed April 29, 2013

Fourth time here, we prefer a ground floor room, (122 this year) you get more space plus a butler, it's just a short hop over the wall onto the beach. Staff here know their stuff, they aim to please at all times. The hotel has a lovely casual feel to it. We love both the bar areas, breakfast and lunches... More

“Lovely traditional hotel, with a couple of issues”

Reviewed April 28, 2013

We stayed on a family holiday in April 2013, and on the whole had a great stay. The staff are really friendly and the rooms are well appointed and maintained, with free wi-fi throughout the hotel. Location is on the west coast where some of the best hotels and restaurants can be found, all within easy (if expensive) taxi ride.... More

“...transported to a dream.”

Reviewed April 17, 2013

We were looking for a short, romantic getaway when we booked the Fairmont for our first trip to Barbados. By the time we got out of the airport, rented a car, ate dinner and finally reached the hotel at night, we were pretty much exhausted. However, the instant we pulled up to the doors of the Fairmont and someone offered... More

Dear ShababSaad: What an eloquently written review… I look forward so sharing your great comments with our entire staff. Our location, service, and people do make our "little piece of paradise" like a dream.

“Even better than we expected”

Reviewed April 15, 2013

We stayed at the Fairmont for 10 nights an returned last Friday. We couldn't recommend this hotel more. The setting, the rooms and the layout was perfect. The most outstanding part of our stay was the staff in the hotel. Never before have I felt so welcome in a hotel; we were made to feel part of a community and... More

Dear Jonbell 1975: I appreciate it is hard to mention only a few of our great employees when there are so many who do a wonderful job… I assure you I will pass on your comments to all!
