"The breakfast menu was fresh also My room was cleaned every day by the staff they were courteous, friendly and very helpful "

"My husband and I recently stayed at the Hilton Barbados Resort, and overall, the experience was average at best. The bedroom itself was nice and comfortable, but the bathroom definitely needs updating. The bathtub never appeared fully clean, which made us uncomfortable enough that we chose not to use it during our stay. The beach is truly beautiful—large, spacious, and one of the highlights of the property. However, the service significantly fell short. There was no consistent poolside or beachside service for food or drinks, and staff were rarely visible throughout the day. The pool area also needs attention, as the concrete is visibly cracking, and the hot tub was out of service for the entirety of our stay. Each morning, even as early as 8 AM, there were no towels available for guests at the pool or beach, which was frustrating. As for dining, both Lighthouse Terrace and Beach Bar offered food that was average and did not stand out. Additionally, small details were disappointing—such as the weekend snow cone offering at 2 PM, which we attempted to enjoy, only to find they had already run out of ice. Overall, while the location and beach are beautiful, the service, maintenance, and overall experience did not meet expectations."

"Close to beach and amenities, good value for price, host was responsive and instructions were clear. "

"We had a really great stay at the SoCo. The rooms are a bit dated and noisy from the street BUT the staff are lovely (shoutout to Shane, Carter and Doncia), the food was really impressive for an all inclusive and the facilities quite nice. Things are compact but the sunset cannot be beat. We would absolutely stay again when back in Barbados. "

"Great room, great staff, clean and good location "

"The reception staff was very nice. There was confusion over where to eat on the property. we went to eat at the beach restaurant and it was closing so they sent us to the restaurant in the building where we could only get a buffet. there was only 1 elevator and it was not working part of the day and we were on the 4th floor. Very confusing layout of rooms as there are different levels and staircasses to access the rooms. Nice beach area. "

"This is a tricky review to write as some things about Sweetfield Manor were very good but others were not. Firstly, the place advertises itself as a 5 star boutique hotel, boutique is correct, 5 star definitely not. The room itself was spotlessly clean and very comfortable with an excellent shower room. However, the first thing that we were told when being shown to the room was that there were two small bottles of water which were complimentary but any further water would have to be bought - surely two small bottles of water a day is not too much to ask for given the price we paid. We ate in the restaurant on two occasions and, although the food was fine, there were many items on the menu that were "not available today". The staff were generally helpful and friendly although the barman on the first evening seemed to find serving us was an inconvenience. The buildings and grounds could certainly do with some major maintenance. It is obviously a heritage building but that doesn't excuse missing and broken spindles on the staircase and the exterior of the building needs refurbishing. The pool was lovely but again, the area around it looked unloved. There was a terrace just outside reception which had tables and parasols but no chairs so could not be used. This place could be really fabulous with some money and effort but I would not stay there again unless there was evidence of a major refurbishment. The peacocks however were fabulous!"

"Room clean, bed quite basic, noise from corridors filters into bedrooms"
