I had read the reviews, and knew that it was not a 4 or 5* hotel, and so kind of expected the worse but was pleasantly surprised. (I think if you go with delusions of grandeur you are going to be bitterly disappointed!! It is, what it is a 3* hotel) The rooms are clean and well furnished, the air... more

My partner and I returned from the TE earlier this month and found it different from last Summer. The hotel remains great value for money, is still clean, the food is great, the staff are lovely. The big difference is how guests now overlap. Last year we had a fantastic time with the same people for 2 weeks. This time... more

The Tropical Escape was the perfect little resort for us. We were there from March 30th until April 5th. We had stayed on the South coast of Barbados on a previous trip, but this time wanted to be near the calmer water on the West coast. This hotel had a true old-time Caribbean charm to it. The arched French doors... more

A week before I went I thought I would check out the sites again to see if there were any new reviews. I wish I hadn't. The two... more

After reading previous reviews was a bit apprehensive, but just returned from Tropical Escape and we had a fabulous time. Admitted the hotel is not 5* but we knew that when we booked. The rooms were spotless and cleaned everyday, towels changed everyday, beach towels provided which could also be changed daily. The staff were very very friendly and couldnt... more
