“Second time better than the first”

Reviewed 9 June 2013

Visited 01-06-2013 Like turning a page coming back to the Fairmont Pavillion was like returning to a comfortable haven, the relaxed atmosphere that hits you from the opening ' gratis' rum punch as you check in, to the customer friendly staff who go out of their way to assist you in all parts of your stay.

“Great place to stay”

Reviewed 12 June 2012

Hello Steve 2551: Thank you for your kind review. We have made a number of improvements at Royal Pavilion in the last year; however we consciously have gravitated to ‘improve” rather than “change”! We endeavor to improve the resort whilst not losing the elements our guests like best. I am glad your recent visit reflected this! Sincerely: Wayne R. Kafcsak... More

My Husband and I had week here in May. We first went here 5 years ago for our 25th and decided to go back again for our 30th. The rooms have been refurbished just recently and are very very nice, the views from all of the 74 rooms are sea views, but the rooms are literally right on the beach,... More

Hi Majentalondon: It was nice having you back after five years, particularly to celebrate your 30th anniversary! Thank you for the comments which I will pass on to the staff.

We came as a family for a weeks stay, my wife and I in a beach front suite, our kids in the garden villa. First off let me give you the good points, which hugely outnumber any minor issues. The location: Top class, right on the beach on the best bay in Barbados. Massive beach front prominence, with lots of... More

“Perfect stay”

Reviewed 2 June 2013

Simply put - I love this hotel. My sister and I stayed here recently for the second year in a row. We reserved the suite on the ground floor. You don't even need a beach bag because you are set up with your room literally on the beach on your own private deck. The hotel was full that weekend but... More

Hello EPM0726: We appreciate your returning with your sister for the second year in a row, and I am flattered you feel Fairmont Royal Pavilion is perfect!

“Anonymous hotel on fabulous beach”

It obviously depends on your perspective, but for me this hotel was disappointing. It looks like it still needs a good refurb. A tired, sandy pink exterior with two 3 storey 'office blocks' for the rooms. Yes the rooms are clean and functional with a fabulous view over the beach, but I had no feeling of personality. Of being in... More

Hello Iwishiwereonholiday: Thanks for your comments, I am glad that overall you felt you had a great holiday with your family! I do appreciate your perspective on the design of our resort.

We recently went to the Royal Pavilion on out honeymoon. The hotel is really superb, with a fantastic location. We stayed in a lovely room overlooking the sea, situated on the second floor.

“Great location”

Reviewed 26 May 2013

You can't fault the perfect location on Barbados' beautiful West Coast, with the benefit of one the widest strips of immaculate beach, gentling shelving so good for kids too. Or the pristine gardens with massive bearded fig trees where green monkeys live. Or the friendly staff. Or the great pool area with masses of sun loungers and towels. Or the... More

Hello Ark Lark: I appreciated your great comments; as you mention location on the fantastic West Coast of Barbados and right on the beach is some of our best assets!

“Great hotel but dead in the evening and expensive for food and drinks”

I booked this hotel looking for a high standard for a once per year getaway without our children. In this review I compare to a hotel in St Lucia we stayed in last year which set a very high target. The location of the hotel is superb as others have stated, next to a superb beach with clear waters with... More

Hello Steve D: Your review makes some good observations and I am pleased you overall enjoyed your visit. With 75 rooms we tend to be a more intimate hotel, so we can be more quiet then a resort of larger size. This said as you point out there are other options nearby which add a bit of variety to a...

My wife and I spent 7 night at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion in May. It was a good month to go as the in-season ends in April and the rainy season starts in June. Thus the hotel was not too busy, (although there were still a fair few people staying there) and there was good hot sunny weather every day... More
