“So Happy to be back”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

When we left the Colony Club in November of 2010 we had just survived a Hurricane and 3 days without power and water....but we survived thanks to the wonderful staff at the Colony.
Fast forward to October of this year and we're back at the Colony.
The same faces greeted us upon our arrival, those same faces that had been so supportive a few years prior. We were pleasantly surprised to see that a number of renovations had gone on during our absence, the pools looked fresh and inviting, the Sunset Deck looked amazing too.
We stayed in our "regular" beach front 1 Bedroom (+Den) and it was just as we remembered.
The Colony Club has a wonderful feel about it, the gardens are extremely well kept and the pools are located throughout the property. The Food is very good and there are a number of themed nights that are both entertaining and diverse in nature.
The Beach has returned and is a great place to sit and enjoy a good book.
The water is fantastic and there is always a water sport available right next door.
The Sunset's you'll see from the Colony Club are stunning.
My family and I are looking forward to returning as soon as possible.

Room Tip: All the rooms are very well appointed. The Garden Suites are the best bargin.

“Perfect”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

We just flew back from a short break in Barbados at the Colony Club and it did exactly what it said on the tin....beautiful, relaxing, friendly, romantic and the weather was perfect every single day. I couldn't recommend this hotel more and have heard from other friends who have been to Barbados that it is one of the top 3 on the island so we took recommendations from those who have been many times before. Only small complaint (and nothing to do with the hotel) was that at the time, the beach next door was going through a coral preservation project which included moving alot of large rocks with a huge JCB all day. Probably only a short term affair and will have probably ended come high season.

Room Tip: The far left of the complex is likely to be more peaceful than the right as it is situated next to t...

“Peaceful and excellent service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Half term week UK October 2012
The most friendly staff that we have met,food excellent ,we didn't do meal plan as we went to other places which we think is worth doing ,the fish pot and the cliff are outstanding
Rooms excellent we had a garden room ground floor ,which was like having your own pool
Beach was lovely, the friendly "guard" did enough to keep things private
Highly recommended for peace and quiet , flights easy ,transfers easy ,
Maybe some renovations to teh outside areas woudl keep it up to date
Business centre really for the kids, wifi not good around the resort but you ban buy from local telecom provider ,but in todays business climate wifi should be strong everywhere
we look forward to going back soon
Interestingly, we met quite a few returning guests ,all the staff remembered them ,so we look forward to that as well

Room Tip: ask for ground floor

“Relaxing Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

Stayed here last year, and really want to go back. The resort is very nice, clean, and relaxing. Kids are allowed to stay at the resort, but never caused any problems for those trying to enjoy peace and quiet. However, we went during the off season, so I am not sure how busy the place gets otherwise. The rooms were extremely comfortable... the only problem we had was housekeeping not coming to the room as the hotel said they would. During one occasion, the housekeeper opened the door without warning while we were changing, but we had the door chain latched, so we were mostly just startled. The food was very good, but pricey as we had expected. Breakfast was included with our stay, and provided a huge assortment of options... which were all delicious. We walked to Holetown on multiple occasions to shop at the grocery store, get souvenirs, and go to the bank/ATM.
The resorts beach had quite a bit of coral reef in the area located directly in front of the lounge area, but once you got out into the water, it was beautiful. Also, a bit further down the beach (all Barbados beaches are public) you could find areas that were completely sandy and free of reef. The resort had complimentary water activities, which was a big perk as well. The Colony Club staff are friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend this resort.

“Holiday of a lifetime!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

We loved this place! Friendly staff, amazing destination....we couldn't fault the place! We advise you keep ontop of your bar/hotel bill as the cost does add up and if u haven't booked yet do consider adding a meal plan however expensive it looks it's probably a good deal, we thought it would be easy to eat out at an equivalent price but it's not....it's costly and the food here is good enough to eat here for most meals with the occasional meal out. We recommend the happy hour cocktails, but they are really strong.... Go to jujus bar and lonestar, they are fab, my boyfreind proposed at lonestar, everyone clapped!!!! We hope to return for the honeymoon. The best thing of all to be honest were the people.... Nicest in the world, go here!!!!!!

Room Tip: Poolside rooms a must, if u r flush, the deluxe beachside room was amazing but try to barter costs d...
