The vehicle provided was not adequate to accommodate our party of six and the amount of luggage. Our driver was rude and frustrated with the distance of our hotel location from the airport. He indicated he needed to drop us off so that he could return to the airport for another transfer. He was not even interested in assisting our family with three additional airport transfers.

My experience was a phenomenal 1 at this hotel I must say 1 of the best I experience in Barbados having staff like Monique &cherryl Ann yes please they always helpful &warm welcome to this establishment

My wife and I visited Barbados for a week. DISCLAIMER-IT WAS NOT IN APRIL 2022 IT WAS A FEW YEARS AGO BUT THIS REVIEW FORMAT WOULD NOT ALLOW ANY EARLIER DATES!! I was familiar with the Island, having been born there many years ago. Since I knew the island fairly well, we avoided most of the touristy locations and, instead, "hired" a car and drove all over the island. There are a few things that you will notice about Barbados. First of all the proper English influence remains in that you rarely see women in slacks or shorts-except tourists, mostly dresses, which is refreshing to see. The Bajans like to dress up in lots of colors and hats for Sunday services and at celebrations. Local supermarkets have great produce and, the size of vegetables like avocados, mangoes, plantain, a papaya are quite a bit larger than in the US. Other things like Breadfruit, local Ackees and others, are not something you will see much in the US. Your rented car will be relatively small because the roads, outside of the main roads are still narrow. Your car will also have a large letter "H" on it to identify it as a "Hired" vehicle. Crime is not a big deal on the island but, remember not to leave anything in your rental car because, with the "H" on it, anyone can tell it is probably being driven by a tourist. Also, if you have never driven on the opposite side of the road, you will have an interesting time navigating the roundabouts! We ate at a lot of local spots, had many of the local dishes like Cou-cou, flying fish and coconut water. I should point out that you will see a fish dish called dolphin which, outside of Barbados and some other Caribbean islands has taken on the name Mahi Mahi. I don't know when that began to replace the dolphin name(the fish), but, along with kingfish, which is now often called by another name, you will hear old timers and locals use the original name. People are friendly, ask about places to visit that are both historical, possibly not used anymore for what they were originally used for or were in operation, and look to see if you can see some green monkeys. (We found a place where a group of them came through every morning around 6am.) If you visit by tourist ship, enjoy the ability to get off right a dock at the island. Years ago, there was not a deep water harbor and the only way to get to shore was to get in a large rowboat have get "rowed" about 3 miles to a dock. I would definitely go again, and, even if you go to one of the resorts, either rent a car or get a cab or a bus and get out and see the island. Great food, great people, and lots of history. Enjoy

ENTERPRISE Rent-A-Car at Barbados Airport. Easy process, very friendly, helpful, respectful and knowledgeable employees. My wife and I arrived after hours, the agent drove from his home to set us up with our car. I was surprised to discover that our reservation was saved, even though we arrived hours later due to our flight. The rates are okay... just like everywhere else around the world. However, if you plan on experiencing the island, I highly recommend renting a car. I recommend purchasing their insurance for a little extra coverage. Drive safe. Our Rep's name was Richard... very respectful, professional and helpful.
