The staff were excellent, friendly, helpful and like a 2nd family. The only issue would be that the building could definitely use some maintenance. A paint job would make a big difference in the look of the outside of the building the balconies. Beautiful beach and good food. We will definitely be back again.

We loved this property! Giselle at the front desk and Shane at the beach took great care of us! The property needed a little updating but the beach and location was beautiful. Breakfast was a bit pricey on a daily basis. We just don’t eat enough to make a buffet worth our while. Thanks for a great stay!

Property has not been updated in the 10 years since my last visit. However, the room was okay and very quiet.

To preface, I am 24, and I traveled with 3 other friends around my age. BAD THINGS:don't expect much. If you are looking for an updated modern hotel with 2024 amenities, this is not your place to stay. However, the property was VERY clean and I felt safe. Check-in: We had to wait 2 HOURS after the listed check-in time to get into our room. The staff was NOT accommodating, offered no explanation to why our room was not ready other than 'our booking was for 2 people but we had 4 people.' BE CAREFUL with this, expedia did not have an option for more than 2 people at the time of my booking. Upon waiting 2 hours for them to allegedly be 'setting the room for 4 people' we got into our DOUBLE-BED ROOM that still only had 2 waters, and 2 towels...hmmm? Come to find out on our first day, they just did not have a proper cleaning schedule as they did not show up until 4pm to clean our room. The breakfast buffet is not worth it. GOOD THINGS: You are right on pebbles beach, which is an incredible location for the price of this hotel. The race horses are washed in the ocean on this beach in the morning around 5:30am. The Skippers lunch spot/bar is AMAZING. Located right by a gas station/convenience store. Beach set up is beautiful and comfortable. Beach concierge was SO ACCOMMODATING and nice. Some of the front desk staff were nice and acknowledged your presence when you walked in.... others couldn't fog a mirror. Overall if you are just looking for a place to sleep this is it.

first time here i was not to happy with two things . Firstly the security officers need to be trained how to talk to guest. Secondly , the parking spots provided to taxi service should be moved. When its raining guest in not allowed to park close to hotel in these spots but rather park further and get soaked walking back to hotel.The gentleman who works the bar with the white shirt daily needs to not be racial profiling. I am a person with color of the locals and was talked to by this gentleman when i entered the bar area to go sit where the old building is situated with no respect. I am a guest just like everyone and should be treated with respect like all others were.Overall it was a good stay , front desk very friendly , facilities was good, food could be better and i would stay there again.

The staff and property cleanliness was good...servicing of rooms were always on time and thorough....fyi the AC in room 607 leaks. Additionally, the limited choices on the menu was disheartening....the limitations applied to paying customers were dissatisfactory...more emphasis should be placed on having an wider and more accessible menu....food was unaccessible based on the time of the day....the buffet was only accessible for dine-in...etc etc.

It’s off the path a little which is nice that it’s not off a main road. Private beach was right there and perfect location. I would go back definitely. A little high priced I feel and the other hotels are probably a little nicer but the bed was very comfortable and it was perfect in all other ways.

It’s time for a major renovation . At least redo the reception counter . Paint the pool . It’s not even tempting to go swim in it . Get a ATM machine . Maybe an area where we can buy some snacks . Stop nickel and diming us . They charge a service charge when you eat there and then they want you to tip them . This hotel is not in comparison to other hotels we stayed in in our trips around the world . Sorry to say but we won’t go back .

The team that runs this resort are truly outstanding. Every single member of the team goes the extra mile - nothing is too much trouble. They deliver magnificent customer service with a smile on their faces. The hotel is in a wonderful location too - but it's all about the people. My only criticism relates to the lack of ongoing investment in the premises by Radisson. They are tired and in need of upgrading / refurbishment. Come on Radisson Group! I'll return to this fabulous place in a heartbeat.

Okay the hotel needs some investment as rooms are dated and decor needs refreshed asap and hotel lacks evening entertainment. Staff however are fantastic, reception are lovely, beach staff outstanding.Breakfast waitress girls singing while serving Bajan style heartwarming.

Comfortable and enjoyable stay
The checking process was a little slow, although the staff were very polite and helpful with the updates on the status of the room. Once checked in we were pleased with the facilities. If you like horses this is a good place to stay as a number of horses from the local race track are brought over every morning for a rehabilitation swim. A highly recommended sport to stay if you’re here for New Year’s Eve. You won’t be disappointed with the fireworks display which can be admired from the beach whilst sipping a piña colada.
