We have passed one week as a couple at the Tamarind and we have enjoyed every day. De staff is very friendly and great to let the guest feel comfortable. There are many offers for sport activities on the beach. For the next time in Barbados we will definitely stay at the Tamarind.

We went here to get married and despite some decidedly unseasonal weather, we had a fabulous time. The setting is great, gym very good but what made the holiday was the staff and the food ! Very friendly staff ( special mention to Safiah at the Sugar Cane and Merica) and delicious food ( hence the need to go to... More

The Tamarind is located on the beach in Paynes Bay. The location couldn't have been better. The hotel was refurbished two years ago, and is now in very good condition. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and the food is very good. The "full board" meal plan is highly recommended. The hotel has complimentary wifi in all guest rooms... More
