“Exceptional”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

Every time we visit Barbados we think it will be the last as there are so many other islands that we also like but I think our travels stop here. The staff were all fantastic, the morning and afternoon sorbets and thirst quenchers by the pool and on the beach were a wonderful touch and the ingenious meandering river of pools were an inspiration. Being in the food business nothing goes unnoticed and the breakfasts and dinner were not to be beaten anywhere on the island. Our holiday was so good that not even the beach moving equipment which we realise was a necessity could put us off. We genuinely did not want to leave. Thank you all at the Colony Club you were all truly appreciated.

Room Tip: A poolside or garden room rather than an ocean view would be my choice but they are all good

“Fantastic break”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012 via mobile

We had a fantastic time at the Colony Club and came back feeling relaxed and refreshed. Our room was excellent, we had a ground floor sea view room which was almost on the beach. Food was very good, the staff were lovely and extremely friendly. Would highly recommend as a a perfect place to visit. This was our third trip to the island, although our first to Colony, we will return!

“TERRIFIC /Mr BLACK/230.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

My family (room232) and I (room 230) had a terrific first trip to the Colony Club.

Location on the beach and near to Holetown is excellent .
Staff at reception ...Karene is amazing with her daily help on the internet and at the printer....and in the room.... all chambermaids are efficient and leave your room perfect despite any mess you leave.
The hotel is run by a most efficient and very attractive young lady Gail Talma (assisted by an elegant courteous young man Jason ) who despite her youth has years of educated experience in the hotel industry and certainly Elegant Hotels and the Colony Club are lucky to have here in charge.Despite all her responsibilities I spotted her removing some untidy beach towels from the pool area early one morning as I sat with my New York family stuffing myself with another fabulous breakfast.WILL I RETURN.......ASAP.....thank you all at the colony club.

“stay at Colony Club”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

Fantastic location almost on beach, less than 5 minute walk from hotel room and you were standing on beach, decking restaurant was almost on beach and you could hear waves as you dined. great food and facilities and the most friendly and helpful staff. Could have benefited from having some more sun umbrellas. plenty of local restaurant accessible by taxi which the hotel will arrange, the hotel has an excellent folder in reception with information including menus and photos of many of the local restaurants. nearest town Holetown is about 5 minutes by taxi and about 20 minutes walk, there is also a local bus service from the end of hotel driveway.

Room Tip: we had see view room which was great but some people might prefer room at back facing pool which ap...

“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.
