Just got back from The House yesterday but had to write this review so nobody is put in the same position of questioning and rethinking their choice about this place. Some of you will recognize me because I have searched long and hard to find an accurate account of this hotel. I went there with such skepticism that my heart... more

We arrived at The House for a weekend to celebrate our birthdays. This delightful surprise was arranged by my fiancée. The exterior looked like a fortress. I gave my better half the evil eye, but what waited ahead was unexpected. The electronic gates opened revealing a wooden bridge and a dramatic lily pond. Then welcomed by a lush tropical garden.... more

Recently returned from an 11 night stay at The House staying in Junior Ocean View Suite on a half-board basis. Overall I was disappointed. On arrival, the initial impressions are good but this did not last long. Firstly there is no reception and you are checked in by an 'Ambassador' whose first comment was that it was hot and the... more

Checked in for 3 nights in mid September. Check in was a slow drawn out process, conducted by a smart ambassador. Firstly this resort is managed by Elegant Resorts, who also manage the adjacent hotel "Tamarine Cove". The House is a 2/3 star resort at best and needs a total revamp. PROS: - Property is located on the beach, (like... more

My boyfriend and I went to the House for labor day weekend 2009. It was everything we were looking for. relaxing, restful, personalized service, amazing view, etc. etc. We loved it and plan to go back soon. Upon entering you are greeted by an Ambassador. The "lobby" is basically a big livingroom. There is no "check in" desk or concierge... more

We honeymooned in Barbados in June and spent 10 days at the House. It is set on the most amazing part of the West Coast with the clear, calm waters of the Caribbean Ocean. Great beach (although we did get hassled a lot by the local sellers) and the marine life is just amazing. The atmosphere in the House is... more

Echoing the previous review, this villa style hotel is a one off and if you want a very special holiday, in boutique style accommodation in the Caribbean, then choose The House. Prior to going i was slightly nervous as i had read some average reviews, but please do not judge based on the average reviews, for us and i know... more

It was like staying in your own serviced villa.The staff are so friendly and genuine from the hotel manager down to the gardener.The advice we were given by the ambassadors on where to dine... more

Great hotel overall. The room was pretty average, although we landed one of the 1st floor corner rooms with a private pool outside which was a great positive. The only thing i didn't understand was the split between bedroom/sitting area - i prefer open plan, space but this was something minor given the great location of the hotel. The bed... more
