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.

Snorkelling over the two wrecks and with the turtles and hungry fish was excellent. Kemal, our boat Captain, and Tramaine, our “dive master” were excellent hosts and provide an excellent experience. Thanks gentlemen! Your service made an impression that will be remembered for years to...come. Derek, our “beach boss” was informative and attentive. We recommend an early booking as we were luckily the only two guests for this excursion and they didn’t cancel (super appreciated). We had snapper and flying fish for lunch but unfortunately the food did not shine like the staff. The fries were tasty, the “salad” was minimal (enough for a veg topping on the fish sandwich) and unfortunately the snapper was overcooked. The beer was cold and the food was hot so the restaurant gets a 3.5 out of 5. Beach chairs were really good, front row to the water, nice shade from the umbrella. Harbour Lights has a nice shower and change area so after beach fun you can stay and party without the sand in your suit. Carlisle Bay is a perfect beach, beautiful sand, shallow enough for weak swimmers immediately off shore, but then gently deeper for stronger swimmers. Gentle waves in the bay. Many schools of small fish race up and down the inshore area. Nice long beach for a good long walk. Highly recommended for those who stay at hotels up the coast where some beaches have rough waters, the beach doesn’t have the soft sand, and is short in length. This is the beach spot to visit. This venue was clean and well laid out for a daytime visit. We visited in mid-September shoulder season, so it was very quiet, only a few other guests for lunch, very tranquil at the time. Others were just as impressed with the beach and service.More

We spent the day on the beach and did the Turtle and Shipwreck snorkeling tour on the Koopa Troopa. Tremaine, our captain, and the crew were excellent and we saw more fish than I’ve ever seen (snorkeled in Akumel, Grand Cayman, Oahu) and over 10...turtles. It was a great way to close out our trip to Barbados!More

We went for the 45-minute snorkeling with turtles, sunbed on the beach, and then had lunch in the cafe. The food was lovely, and the staff was very helpful. The snorkeling ended up being nearly 1.5 hours and we were the only ones on the...boat so we had plenty of time to see fish and turtles. very well priced.More

Because we booked our visit directly with Harbor lights and paid online before our trip, we had a great beach location with our name on the umbrella pole to show it was reserved. For $35 each, you get beach chairs, and an umbrella, plus 45...minutes of snorkeling, above a shipwreck, and then with turtles. You also receive a rum punch drink. You really can’t beat this deal on the prettiest beach in Barbados. It is 5 minutes from the cruise stock and you can get a cab ride for $5 each way if you go in the morning when they are able to fill the cab. If you wait until afternoon, You may be the only occupant and it will cost you $50! The cabs are right at the end of the cruise stock and plentiful for your return trip at the beach. Easy Peezy!More

Good but not great. Busy beach with a lot of activity. The sand is nice and the water is pretty clear and light blue. Good for wading and hanging out in the water. Close to cruise port. Accommodations were just ok. Received one free beverage...and it wasn’t very good. Went on sea turtle snorkeling tour and felt like herded cattle. Only saw one turtle for a brief moment. Wouldn’t need to go here again.More

We had a great time at this venue on a cruise sponsored excursion. The deal included a bus ride from the terminal (and back), 2 chairs, umbrella and 2 drinks. We ended up purchasing an additional bucket of beer for $20. We didn't buy any...food but the selection looked delicious. The weather was perfect and the water so blue. WiFi was also included. There were changing areas, showers and restroom facilities available.More

Fabulous beach, beautiful clear blue sea and skies. We reserved our sun beds in advance and booked the Turtle Tour which was an amazing experience! The guys on the Koopa Troopa boat made sure we got to snorkel at the ship wreck and with turtles,...a brilliant way to spend the morning. We want to call out both Kamal & Jerome for going above and beyond with people who were nervous getting into and in the water, thanks guys, best tour ever 😊More
