Frommer's Review

This complex, while not particularly imaginative or exciting in its design, offers some of the best hotel-room bargains on Barbados, and as such, it's ideal for families. Directly on a rocky shoreline 4km (2 1/2 miles) southeast of Bridgetown, the hotel is in the heart of the village of Hastings. The U-shaped complex is built around a pool terrace overlooking the sea. Functional and minimalist in decor, the accommodations are comfortable, each with a compact but fully equipped kitchenette. You face a choice of either a regular hotel room or a one-bedroom suite. All have balconies or decks. Although some athletic guests attempt to swim off the nearby rocks, most walk 5 minutes to the white sands of nearby Rockley (Accra) Beach. For even softer and wider sands, the hotel offers free shuttle-van service to and from the beach that fronts the Amaryllis Beach Resort.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; outdoor pool; room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
