First I would like to say to those travelers who found the service slow or the locals intrusive that this is why I travel to other countries. If I wanted the American corp. hotel stay and vacation why leave the country? I love the small size of the hotel and how everything runs on "island time". The staff and locals... more

We stayed at the Allamanda last October. We had a room overlooking the street; however, the noise was not that bad. At night we more so heard the loud roar of the sea than traffic (our balcony faced the pool and sea). It was quite soothing. My parents were upgraded to a suite, which was lovely. The only complaint was... more

My wife and I returned to Barbados after a 24 year absence. During our visits to Barbados (11 years in a row) we had stayed at the Woodville Apartments (now Allamanda) during our last 3 visits. We loved it there because it was a quaint family run business without the feel of a huge busy resort. Upon our return we... more

My husband and I, along with my sister travelled to Barbados in November. We stayed at the Allamanda for one week. Our experience was great. The staff was very friendly, especially the ladies at the front desk. They were always helpful and kind. We enjoyed the kitchen we had in our room, and was able to make food in our... more

Just returned from the Allamanda after 2 weeks with my sister and daughter and son in law. Not being here since 1976, many changes can be seen and heard. The traffic out front never stopped for 24 hours a day, and the roaring ocean out front with the construction crew building a boardwalk was never boring for us. Otherwise, we... more

We have just returned from a 2 week stay at the hotel. Prior to booking we had favoured the hotel based on reviews and thought it was only appropriate to share our findings with others. Firstly, the hotel is in an excellent position. Easy access to The Gap, Bridgetown, Otis etc. Bus stop immediate outside and on the number 11... more

Barbados is very expensive, and this is a small, friendly, well-maintained hotel that is inexpensive. We stayed on the Best of Barbados promotion, and had a great time exploring the island. We had the included breakfast everyday, which was made to order and always good. (Also the rooms all had kitchenettes, so you could cook if you like.) The hotel... more

I stayed here over Christmas and have nothing but praise for the wonderful staff but the actual hotel was just OK really. There is a small pool and you can see the beach but it has no direct access and there are currently building works all along the beach front. This starts at 8am with big diggers arriving...so peace and... more

The hotel was far too noisy (too much traffic could be heard at all times of day and night) and also with the construction work going on at the beach, it was not my idea of a relaxing holiday. We felt we could never escape from the noise.The room itself was adequate though and the staff were very friendly. I... more
