Bridgetown Harry Bayley Observatory Hotels

"I was extremely disappointed with my stay here and am glad I stayed elsewhere on the island for the majority of my time in Barbados. The rooms here felt like jail cells, not one piece of art, no hot water and no mirror above the sink in the bathroom. There was also no fridge for leftovers but a stove? The beach area is too small for all the people that are staying there, there also wasn’t enough pool chairs so multiple people were left to sit in the dinner chairs rather than lay by the pool or beach which is what you want to be doing on vacation. They let me use a “shower room” because late check out wasn’t available and it was a room up the stairs only, no towels were available except the large pile of used ones in the middle of the floor so I wasn’t able to shower before my flight. It says all inclusive but didn’t include prosecco and unfortunately the breakfast eggs were inedible. The staff were all nice which helped, but ultimately would not recommend this resort to anyone. "

"Overall fabulous stay! Staff are so attentive and courteous, adults only rooftop is fab, the infinity pool downstairs is perfect for a morning swim - rooms are spacious and all rooms have a sea view. Breakfast was outstanding with the selection on offer - cannot wait to stay again "

"This property is in a good location, close to many beaches and amenities. I have been here several times, but I find the upkeep has gone down. All of our in-unit appliances were extremely old and the fridge leaked the entire time (it was replaced on the day we checked out). The power and wifi went out a few times during our 10 days. The furniture is very dated and could use replacement asap. The bathroom has a lot of signs of wear too. The cleaning staff were amazing but I miss the old hotel manager. I would stay again as it is good value for money and the pool area is beautiful and quiet. But if you are used to a 4 star - this place is not for you."

"Resort was well maintained. Food was mostly good except one dish (e.g. shrimp bowl) was rather dry and lacked flavor."

"I had a very sweet room with a lovely outdoor veranda, but it didn’t feel very secure. The staff were helpful and charming but there was a snafu with my transfer from the airport. I didn’t appreciate being told to “take a little walk to reception” to cancel my brunch reservation when I was jet-lagged and still in bed. The rum punch was delicious. "

"The rooms and facilities were pretty tired and poor and need a lot of upgrading. The front desk staff was very friendly, but others in the restaurant were not. The beach is quite narrow and small. There arent enough lounge chairs and umbrellas. "

"Everything in the property was as described. The kitchen was well equipped. There was a problem starting the gas stove but a call to Nigel the house manager got that fixed immediately. Loved the spacious drying room and the patio. The only quibble is that it was not a short walk to the beach - it was 25 minutes at least, beside a busy road with little paved sidewalk and uneven ground - tricky for older women! But it was easy to find taxis. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it."

"Beautiful property, friendly staff "

"The beach was amazing and enjoyed activities and many choices of food available "
