I booked Barbados Beach Club for my husband’s birthday, thinking it would be a great fit based on the reviews. However, upon arrival, we quickly realized that this was more of a 55 community hotel, which was not advertised anywhere.
The facilities are outdated and in desperate need of renovation. The pool was disappointingly small, and at one point, we couldn't even get lounge chairs because they were all taken. Dining options were extremely limited, and the meals were subpar—even the tea selection was lacking. The drinks were also very limited, and to our surprise, they didn’t even have Banks, the local beer!
The beach, which was one of the main reasons we booked, was rough at the time, making it less enjoyable. On top of that, the entertainment catered mostly to an older crowd, making it difficult for younger couples to enjoy themselves.
Overall, this hotel is not a good choice for younger travelers looking for a vibrant, fun experience. With much-needed renovations and improvements, it could have potential, but as it stands, I do not recommend it for younger couples or anyone looking for a lively atmosphere.
