We have been to this hotel twice before and it is amazing. We were hoping to go next week and we had the most amazing support from fairmount. My husband has been unwell and the fairmont bent over backwards to help us. Sadly we weren’t able to travel but we are looking forward to going soon. This would always be our hotel of choice in Barbados. The staff are amazing.

“We had a really wonderful time at the Fairmont. The rooms were super comfortable, the view from our balcony was stunning - spent many hours gazing at the beautiful crystal clear turquoise sea - the food in the restaurant is delicious, the beach is idyllic with a beautiful pontoon you can swim to. But what really makes Fairmont is the staff. They were so friendly and helpful. Special shout out for Ryan (watersports), Joann, Shane and the lovely young man who does the housekeeping (sorry, didn’t catch your name!) Thanks Fairmont, hopefully see you again soon. Family Webb.

“Where do I start!! From the moment we arrived our hostess was so nice and explained everything to us. That rum drink was delicious I even drank my husband’s!! We celebrated our anniversary and in the room waiting for us was a bottle of champagne and a lovely note. The room was nice just the bathroom needs a little makeover. We did not want to come home! Your staff was amazing (I don’t understand the other reviews about them) big shout outs to first Sabrina who welcomed us for breakfast and lunch each day with a big smile. Renee and Ria (Rhea maybe I’m spelling it wrong, sorry) what can I say we fell In love with them! They spent time with us. full of so much information! Renee when she saw us always waved hi and made a point of coming over to us to talk. She is beautiful inside and out! Ria and her kindness and so much fun to spend time with. We never had to wait for a cocktail, she was on it!!! I loved spending time with her in the sitting area by the bar. Also a beauty inside and out!! Rolston wow what a gentlemen!! Big smiles every time we saw him and set a really nice in room dining table. Let’s not forget Rashad from the pool area! Such a young gentleman. He looked for us and really set us up for the day. One day I asked is there a store that I can go to to get a noodle for the ocean and he said just one moment and ran and got me one! Thank you for your amazing staff and a great time away!”
Great but could be amazing with some tweaks

“We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 stay holiday at your hotel. It was recommended to us by friends but we had read several negative TP reviews prior to our stay and so we were a little nervous what we would experience.
We arrived to a friendly warm greeting when checking in which was a quick process. We were offered some rum punch which was a nice start to our holiday then shown to our room which was spacious although a few areas did look a little tired. We had a view to die for (with a good sized terrace) of what I can only imagine must be one of the world’s best beaches. This really is the Fairmonts biggest draw…the beach, it’s absolutely stunning.
All the staff we engaged with were friendly, fun and in most cases efficient.
Special mention goes to Nicole who was always so smiley and attentive at the beach. Lorenzo, Joanne and Alison were also staff members we engaged with often and who were always eager to please. Thank you very much to Marva Gail who sorted out a small issue at dinner one evening for us, she went above and beyond for our family.
Whilst breakfast at the hotel was good, we felt that the quality could have been better.
One of the restaurants was closed during our 8 day stay and whilst the beach bar offered a good varied lunch and dinner menu, it would have been good to have another option. We did however take advantage of all the brilliant restaurants that were only around 10/15 mins away in an Uber.
We have been fortunate enough to stay at lots of wonderful hotels over the world and I feel it’s fair to say that the Fairmont in Barbados has some areas to work on. It really could be an exceptional hotel in an exceptional location.”

“We have just completed a wonderful 12-day Bed and Breakfast stay at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion, and we are absolutely blown away. Set in pretty gardens overlooking the most beautiful aquamarine sea, we stayed in a Signature Oceanfront King on the 3rd Floor (Room 337) which had the most incredible view. The bed was comfortable and had plug points on both sides. Tea and coffee facilities were great, and there is a stocked, reasonably priced mini-bar. The room was very quiet and was serviced twice a day to a exceptionally high standard.The food at Taboras Restaurant was delicious. We were impressed on every occasion with the pizza, fish, salads, and burgers, to name a few, which were all excellent. Breakfast was served efficiently and was inclusive of all the usuals—hot food, eggs cooked to order, and bacon—but also some delicious Caribbean options alongside fresh fruit, cereals, and pastries.The pool was lovely and as warm as a bath, but we spent most of our time at the beach, which is even more beautiful than in the pictures. It is super relaxing, offering the perfect balance of waves gently lapping while boats and jet skis whizz by to watch. It was always easy to find a sun lounger, which were set up with two towels per bed each day and followed up with excellent bar and food service all day. While on the beach, we used the floats out at sea to rest on and had a go at the complimentary paddleboarding, which was readily available. Other watersports are available at a cost; we did a boat trip to swim with turtles, went jet skiing, and tried the inflatable sofa.There are fantastic local restaurants within steps of the hotel, including Lone Star and Jumas, as well as the burger van next door on the beach. You can easily walk into Holetown during the daytime or catch a quick taxi.The atmosphere at the hotel was very, very relaxed. There were a couple of nights with a live saxophonist at dinner, but no loud, overwhelming entertainment schedule, which is exactly how we liked it. The general bar and restaurant areas are all very sociable and friendly. The resort itself is lovely, but what truly makes this place paradise is the incredible staff. Every single day, the team went above and beyond with a warmth and professionalism that is impossible to match. Without fail, every member of staff we came across acknowledged us in a friendly manner, and so many around the resort even somehow knew our names! While the entire team was lovely, we want to give a special mention and massive thank you to the following staff members who made our stay so memorable:The Dining Team Mary Anne, Theresa, Tiffany, Andre, Sabrina, Shakeem and Kobe, The Bar Team Kyle, St. Claire, Reia, Lorenzo and Nicole and then Ryan and Michael on the beach thank you all for taking such amazing care of us. You are a credit to the Fairmont brand”

“My wife and I stayed in Fairmont hotel whilst in Barbados. Have to say the hotel was really nice, our room (thanks to Tia-Marie) was amazing and breakfast was very tasty. The hotel staff were great however there are 3 staff members who were absolutely amazing. Tia-Marie was great. She gave us a great room and made this very special for us. She had an amazing customer service and definitely is an asset to the hotel. Also especial thanks to the beach crew, Ryan and Derek. Both were great and very friendly. They arranged a lot of water activities for us and absolutely amazing. Highly recommend the hotel”

“This hotel is just awful it is supposed to be 5 star it is tired & worn out according to its own literature it was last upgraded 38 years ago. its only plus point is it is near the sea. There are plenty of much better hotels near by.”

“My wife celebrated a very special birthday and we booked the Fairmont Royal Pavillion Hotel in Barbados through Hays Travel Norwich with the help of the amazing Kerry. We flew Virgin Atlantic from Heathrow and they were superb. But the hotel was absolutely unbelievable. Magnificent beach location, the most amazing ocean view room and above all, the best and friendliest staff we have ever come across in our many travels. They are truly special and from the moment we stepped into the hotel till we left,we were made to feel so welcome. Everything was in place from a superb reception to being looked after in every way possible. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. There are so many to thank. Tina Maria,Lavene and Antonio in reception,Jarisla a superb breakfast host,Michael and Shane brilliant beach attendants, Sholeene such great fun, the wonderful Kerli who I had so many chats with about our experience, Che and St Clair great hosts in the bar..I could go on and on. What a staff. The food was superb as was the service at every meal. If you like walking, the beach walk is incredible. Go into Holetown on the yellow bus. Great fun if scary! We went to the Lone Star restaurant nearby as well and that is incredible too.
Our room was tremendous and particularly loved the outside bed on the balcony to look at the dramatic sunsets.
We could not have asked for a better holiday and we would like to thank all the staff for making our stay so special. We have already looked at next year and we plan to return. We did make a couple of suggestions to improve the hotel even more when talking to Kerli. One is to utilise the beautiful gardens even more by putting more seating for clients to enjoy the wonderful plants and to label those plants and flowers. Secondly, perhaps have lighting on the tables in the amazing Taboras Restaurant to make an even more intimate dining setting but these are not criticisms just thoughts shared with Kerli.
Our final thought is that if you want to relax,be pampered and be in paradise, come here. It is truly wonderful
Mike and Julie Ward”
