Stayed in room 15 from 22/02/2013-1/3/2013.

Having stayed in the Hastings area before, the Coconut Court was no less appealing than we expected. There are plenty of 4/5 star hotels in Barbados if desired.
The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Having pre booked an ocean view room and stayed in similar accommodation on highway 7, the room was as of similar size and the road noise is something to expect from this area. Always research and check reviews as this is a regular comment. The room is serviced daily but was very dusty on the bed headboard and other surfaces.
The beach is superb and with lots of restaurants and bars within walking distance, room only was the right choice for us. There is live music several nights and bear this in mind if you prefer to go to bed early !
We did Teds tour which was informative, even if teds routine is predictable, his jokes corny and well rehearsed.
If you fancy some local music and culture, try " the good life" bar one evening ( Thursday is best) . Just past the end of the quayside plaza, turn left ( before chefette) . Friendly welcome and good food awaits .

Rms 24, 25, 26 and the 3 rooms above, sandwiched between two blocks - we were in Rm 25. The room was very dated, dismal, albeit I would say it was clean. The worst aspect was the balcony - the floor based air-conditioning unit was housed on the balcony, giving out so much heat making it impossible to sit there. Not that you would want to anyway. Where you would normally find railings or such you had a solid concrete wall about chest high obscuring any view should you be seated, and also stopped heat escaping. However, the view looked onto the long corrugated roof of the reception below - it was dirty, with constant drips of water from the overhang of the room above. This is not what you want after travelling from the UK, arriving tired and too late in the day to seek alternate accommodation. Bearing in mind this standard room was booked over 6 months in advance, therefore there would have been better standard rooms available at the time. The cynic in me suggests the management at this hotel have a deliberate policy of allocating/getting rid of these rooms ASAP to unsuspecting clients knowing that when they arrive in peak time there are no other rooms available in the hotel, and having had to pay for 3 days in advance to secure your room are confident you will stay and put up with it rather than have the hassle of losing your deposit and inconvenience of seeking alternate accommodation. After a few days an alternate room was offered at the side of the hotel but this looked onto a car park and the back of adjacent hotel - we refused this and had to stay where we were. These rooms should not be used to house anyone.

This hotel is located perfectly by the beach. All you need is close, walking distance to Bridgetown and well connected by public traffic too. One big missing point was breakfast. Barely no greens (tomato, cucumber, salads...), no cheese, few fruits.

We stayed at the hotel in February/March for 10 nights and we were on a budget -and this hotel has really good value for us.
Room was basic but very clean-(room has been cleaned every day) with the balcony,
Wi-Fi access, kitchenette, fridge, microwave,cuttlery, plates cups,ect.
-faboulous beach
-plenty of loungers,
-lot of activities -like Ted's travel around the island (very recommended!!), diving, snoorkeling with the big turtles (Day trip with catamaran),
-we booked the room with breakfast only -food was good, but every day almost the same:
2 juices (orange and pinneaple), tea, coffe, toast, jam , scrambled eggs, fried eggs, omeletts, cereals, fruits, cupcakes, beans & cube potatoes ( for fans of Irish /UK breakfast ), but lack of sausages or bacon .
.
They have nice bar "Blue Room" with happy hours , and with very good food (grilled fish fully recommended)

Minus:
there is no playground for the kids,
they do not have an elevator
street noise during the night

anyway is worth to come for couples, friends or solo.
