This is our fourth visit to Barbados and each time we stay at The House, for us it’s the perfect blend of chilled sophistication that makes you slip straight into holiday mode the moment you arrive. The location is handy in the middle of the West Coast and right on the beach in the beautiful Paynes Bay helps. We had... More

We have just returned from 2 weeks in paradise. Ladies gentlemen marco you should all be very proud of yourselves, our stay was superb. The staff and management made our holiday. The new design of rooms will compliment the property but the warm welcome comes from you guys top marks see you again seen.

Our third stay at the house and the best yet. I don't want to bore anyone with info that I wrote in my last review about The House, so please do read my earlier report. What I am pleased to say though, is that things have only improved; more staff = more care! This time we stayed in an ocean... More

I stayed at The House in September 2008 with my eldest daughter and her partner. I was not the only mature inmate - in fact there were those even older! I have to say, in response to the review of potting23, that we were all 'cool' - even more so than some of the younger generation staying there - and... More

The House was the best adults only property we've stayed in- the only complaint I have is that the rooms need to be renovated. The champagne breakfasts made the day, the snorkelling right in front of the hotel was quite good. The staff were very friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be living life and working in Barbados. Will definitely... More

Great hotel. Will be back for sure. Our beach front room hadn't been renovated and was perfect (we did see some of the garden rooms which looked a little tired) but don't let it out you off as that was one of my worries before we went. The ambassador service was a great concept as was the whole hotel. Only... More

Having stayed here 2 years ago, I was quite disappointed the second time around. the main reason for this is the tiredness and general up keep of the rooms and surrounding areas. The hotel is about to embark on a renovation process and there is a 'show room' which is significantly better, particularly the bathroom which was a major disappointment.... More
