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.

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.
