I have just returned from my stay at 309 in Glitter Bay and I am already planing a return trip with my partner. Working long hours through out the year, and traveling quite extensively as well, Glitter Bay is the one place I feel I can get actually get under the radar from the bustle of life, switch off and... more

This three bedroom ground floor apartment is so perfect for our family - we have 4 children under 12 and it is spacious and has a huge, and I do mean, huge liviing area and kitchen. The breakfast bar seats the four young ones perfectly! The kitchen has all you need to whip up a meal but there are some... more

We loved this place!!! We where there at the first time 2004. We heard they refurbished the hotel 2005 so it´s probably more modern now. The hotel location is next to the fairmont Royal Pavilion hotel and I believe it´s the same owner. For us the hotel staff was lovely and friendly and made you feel special. The breakfast was... more

Glitter Bay gave us basically everything we were looking for and expecting. We wanted a condo property to accomodate 2 couples and one child but also wanted a few 'resort' facilities such as a pool, beach bar, watersports etc. We were very happy with our 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo. We stayed in Penthouse 411. It was situated near the... more

Eternity is one of the rental apartments on the Glitter Bay resort, in Barbados. It is the corner unit on the second floor, overlooking the beach, with two large patio doors that create a sense of being outside, even when in!. We booked through Bajan Services, who took good care of the arrangments and who responded speedily to any questions... more

We were there as students just after the intervention--in Grenada. My husband was an off shore medical student at the time. We had lived on Grenada & because of the intervention were offered Miami or Barbados for the next semester--or more--we didn't know. Who would take Miami? Alot of students did. A small 50 families/students were adventurous enough to give... more

We visited Ocean Blue (an apartment in Glitter Bay) during October half term. The former hotel is now all privately owned apartments. About the apartment what can I say? – having viewed photographs of Ocean Blue on the internet my expectations of the apartment were high – I wasn’t disappointed! Ocean Blue more than exceeded all my expectations and is... more

Glitter Bay was closed for refurbishment during 2005. Its now back to its former glory. All of the Fairmont owned units have been totally refurbished and many sold to individual owners. Whilst the property is no longer managed by the Fairmont Group it is possible to book through smaller letting agents (e.g. Barbados Villa Services), and its well worth it.... more

This hotel is in a lovely spot close to a great beach. We returned in November 2004 bacause we had really enjoyed our holiday the previous year. However, we had a fairly disasterous time, both my sons aged 9 & 11 contracted ear infections, we believe from the hotel pool, which were so bad that even after 3 trips to... more
