Colony Club, a Luxury Collection Resort, Barbados

Visited Colony Club for drinks and a day stay. Very attentive staff,very comfortable sun loungers and good selection of drinks and food. As we discovered it’s not adults only, so be aware

We stayed at colony club in November 2022, when our daughter was eight months old. Whilst we enjoyed our last stay, it was noticeable that the resort had become tired. We have had a second child, and decided to return to see the changes that had been made. I will start with some disappointing niggles highlighted during our stay. 1) arranging taxis with Colony club direct is extortionate. We asked for an airport transfer on arrival, and was astonished when settling our invoice that they had charged us 410 BBD, the same journey returning to the airport arranged privately was quoted and charged at 190 BBD. This suggests that the hotel is ripping customers off and/or making a margin in fayres with their preferred taxi operators as this is unexplainable. If you attend colony club arrange your own taxis, or download one of the Taxi apps as it is much cheaper. 2) colony club have started adding mandatory 10% gratuity to all items, whether that be a latte at breakfast, room service, or going to sit at the poolside bar to order a drink. I do not agree with gratuity being imposed on customers, this should be discretionary, and it makes you wonder what you are actually paying £0000’s for in the first place? 2) the food menus, particularly the all day menus are pretty boring and lack any imagination. You can get pizza, burgers, chicken wraps and salad anywhere in the world. It would be nice if there were some more bajan options. With the negative aspects dealt with, our stay was otherwise enjoyable. We stayed in the same suite that we stayed in three years ago, so the refurbishment works was noticeable to us. The pool which was closed when we last attended, is now fully re-opened. The staff around colony club are very helpful, and it is nice to see that there are still familiar faces from the last time we attended.

We had such a nice stay at the colony club in this month ! We went in a group with a baby and toddler and the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful whilst we were there. It was so nice to have so many lovely people around us to help us all enjoy our holiday. Our room was clean and had everything we needed, our housekeeper, Debra, was lovely and thought of everything for us and our toddler loved her ! The food was so tasty, lots of variety, we were all inclusive and were really happy with what they had to offer, lots of options, cooking on the grill in front of you for some buffet nights and other nights a menu to choose from. The restaurant staff were accomodating, I can’t remember all the names but Thankyou to Carol ! All the team from reception to gardening staff work so hard to keep the hotel looking amazing. We would love to go back again and will be recommending to all our family and friends. Thankyou

Recently renovated, the property, gardens and pools are beautiful. The room was luxurious and comfortable. It’s also on some of the best beachfront in Barbados.

Mist beautiful hotel ever. I came here in a mixed couples/business trip and we found it incredibile pretty, full of lush green vegetation, water falla and the most ora e fui beautiful beach. The hotel is recently renivated and everything is new and the decir is very tastefull and classy. Staff is very nice and attentive. I don’t give them the 5 starà because some of the new gadgets in the room don’t work well, i guess because they have never been tried before. Also because is very hard to find other food options besides the hotel and the food is quite expensive

We last stayed here four years ago and it was very tired but still had charm and lovely staff. Post refurbishment it has been beautifully and tastefully modernised, whilst keeping the charm and traditional touches. Our pool access room was gorgeous with a huge four poster bed - the most comfortable I think I’ve ever slept in. Brand new furniture, a freestanding double shower and a lovely terrace overlooking one of the pools and the garden area: Staff are still wonderful - attentive and friendly - and the gym has had a welcome upgrade which we made full use of. The food was very good and they still make the best Mai Tai I’ve ever tasted! I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Barbados and thank you Marriott for not making it all inclusive.

We have just returned from a week at the CC celebrating our wedding anniversary, and had a wonderful time. The hotel has recently reopened following a major refurbishment of all 96 rooms. Our room overlooked the main pool and beach and had all the facilities you could ever wish for. A special mention for Nicole and Debra in the restaurant, who made sure that my wife’s allergies were catered for each morning when ordering an omelette. Looking forward to returning next year.
