Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Staff was very friendly, the pool area is nice, but the water needs more regular cleaning. The apartment had a good size. It could have been cleaner for me and it definitely needs a bigger safe where you can also store a laptop or tablet. Thankfully I could hand in my laptop at reception during the times I wasn't there. I understand Barbados is an expensiv destination, but the value for money doesn't add up in this place. I'm not sure though if you are able to get a better deal somewhere else in Holetown. It's just too expensive for no service at all, not even bottled water in the room or a mosquito spray or free beach towels.

Lovely apartment, nice quiet location. Pool is nice, well maintained. Beach 15 min walk. Great base to explore island - we fully recommend hiring a car (Ballantynes provided great service-drop off and collection from resort). Top tip - if you book a one bed apt for two adults and two children you can ask reception for an additional two wheeled single beds which was much better than using sofa bed in lounge (Aircon only in main bedroom though). We found it odd there was not much of a welcome pack/info for late arrivals so weren't aware of supplied pool towels till well into the holiday. Also no food/drink onsite and nearest shop 15 mins way. There is also a lounge with shower facilities so you can use this if checking out before departure flight. We had a great trip. Would stay here again!

Just returned from Palms Resort, Holetown, Barbados after a nineteen night stay. Site is compact, well maintained, aircon in all apartments and grouped around a swimming pool. Great base from which to explore and reasonable value for money. Apartments have aircon, good kitchens for those who like to self-cater and are serviced daily.. What made our stay however was the attitude and dedication of the reception and housekeeping teams, both ably led by Miss Thea. Nothing was too much trouble and service was always delivered with a smile. Guests were mostly older couples from Canada, UK and the US and provided very good company. We will be booking again.

If you want a real taste of Bajan life then look no further. The Palms Resort is an ideal base to capture the wildlife and wonders of this friendly island. Birds, monkeys, tree frogs and mongoose happily lived alongside this quality 16 apartment resort. The accommodation is well equipped, roomy and airy and sit neatly around the site with a well cared for pool and plenty of sunbeds and umbrella. The staff are friendly, kind but also professional and efficient. Nothing is too much trouble. The free WiFi is excellent and there's the additional bonus of a pass for the Sunset Crest Beach Club on the seafront. A peaceful environment to rest after a day at the beach or touring the island.

My bf booked here for my birthday. The only con was that we couldn’t book a stay for the intended two nights BUT we totally enjoyed ourselves. The staff was courteous and friendly, the room was very modern and exceptionally clean. We had privacy and the area was quiet. Location was great as it was close to many restaurants and nightclubs and even the supermarket. Will definitely be back!!

Very disappointing from start to finish. Arrived at night, didn't realise there was nothing on site in terms of food or drink, not even vending machines with water. The apartment had nothing, no water, no snacks, no fruits, no welcome pack, nothing, so we luckily managed to go down the road to grab something at the Asian restaurant. The facilities are very tired, the rooms super old, the shower and bathroom very basic, the kitchen super dated. Wifi barely worked. Perfect for younger couples, travellers, and backpackers just looking for somewhere to rest their heads. The pool wasn't welcoming at all. There was one lovely member of staff, apologies for not catching her name, but the majority of staff were super hostile, rude, and unhelpful. Not as close as I had hoped to the beach, a good 20 min along a main road to nearest beach. I would recommend staying in a self-catering closer to Holetown. There are so many other nicer places close by.

Just spent 9 nights at this lovely little hotel. All the staff were brilliant. The room was great. Very nice little pool to cool off in. Great location on the island. Amazing price, and a 10 min walk to centre of holetown. All in all we couldn't fault it. Already booked to go back with the kids next year.

We booked a 1 week stay at Travellers Palm. Our Tour Operator advised us that there was som3 building work that was due to finish on the 1st November. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised with the accommodation, the hotel has recently been refurbished and the rooms were tastefully decorated BUT the area near the pool was still going through renovation work, the builders put up a small screen, but there was still dust and noise which made i5 impossible to enjoy peace and tranquility that we expected. We had hired a car and intended to visit the island and beaches during the day and relax by the pool in the evenings but couldn’t do that due to the ongoing building work. We too the decision to move hotel on the second day, such a shame as it is a lovely hotel in a peaceful area we will definitely return next year!
