Lots of variety in breakfast, which is nice. Lunch and dinner, however, was slow, despite only 25% occupancy, menu lacked variety which will deter european visiters how tend to stay longer than 5 days. Also, quality of food is not what I expected. I would upon return would look for external restaurants. I would like to end on a positive note. Your staff are wonderful. Shane, Shontelle, Reah, and another lady with a quite NY accent just to name those who we knew the names of were superb.

The room with private patio was perfect! Amazing to step right onto the beach. One of the restaurants was closed for updates which was unknown to us prior to arrival. The website makes it seem as though there is a spa on property which there is not. Very disappointing. The whole resort could use an update although it was still nice. We really enjoyed relaxing in the lounge in the evenings with bar service and enjoying watching sports on the tv. Shontelle was fabulous! Service for food and drinks on our patio was very bad. Servers rarely came by or we had to walk around to find them sitting on the side of the building. Breakfast was great with a large selection. We only dined on property one evening and it was good. The room service selection could be larger. The French fries with a side of your garlic aioli were delicious! Butler service was also disappointing. I honestly cannot say one thing they did for us other than make one dinner reservation and I could simply do this on my phone. We tried multiple times to get reservations (even prior to arrival) at a restaurant off property. I feel like the butlers should know which places are closed for the off-season. Overall, I think this resort does not live up to the Fairmont name.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted you enjoyed your beachfront room, our breakfast offerings, and the relaxing atmosphere of the lounge. We are especially pleased to hear that Shontelle made such a positive impact on your stay. At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the disappointment caused by the restaurant closure, the misunderstanding regarding spa facilities, and the service inconsistencies you experienced, particularly with patio dining and butler service. Your comments are appreciated and have been shared with the relevant teams as we continually strive to improve. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide the exceptional experience you expect from Fairmont! Shamara

Jason N. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

We typically stay at Sandy Lane but wanted to give The Fairmont a try. Overall the stay was good, not great. It met expectations, never exceeded. It was small things like the shower leaking, small bathroom counters, huge cracks between the door and frame which caused condensation on the floor everyday. Also convenience things for example we called down to the front desk and said we were heading out on a catamaran that morning and could we get some large beach towels to bring with us? The gentleman instructed us to walk to the pool hut and get them before we got into our car. At Sandy Lane the response would have been "yes we will get those towels for you from the pool hut and have them waiting in the lobby for you". Like small things like that add up to big differences in experience. But Sandy Lane is also more expensive than Fairmont. So for the price, our stay met expectations but again, never exceeded them.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing Fairmont for your stay in Barbados. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the service from our team and several aspects of your stay. However, we are sorry the condition of your room and your overall experience did not fully meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the maintenance concerns, room condition, and opportunities for more personalized service have been shared with the appropriate teams for review. Feedback such as yours provides valuable insight into the guest experience and helps us identify areas where we can improve. We are also excited to be working on several enhancements across the resort which we hope will further elevate future stays. We appreciate your candid feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to provide a more memorable experience in the future. Shamara

We had a wonderful stay at the Fairmont! We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary and you delivered on so many levels. We had a beautiful room on the 3rd floor with excellent service from the housekeeping team. The beach attendants, in particular Shane and Kobe are an absolute credit to the team in many ways! There are many great staff and Managers and we would particularly like to thank Chef Robert, and Kerli, they have some great team members and we would particularly like to thank Jalisa and Sabrina and Shareece. The front desk team are also super helpful headed up by the lovely Natalie. Everyone went out of their way to make our celebration and stay perfect, we look forward to returning and felt truly understood and cared for!

Lisa M. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Lovely location and beach was great. Room was comfortable but housekeeping hit and miss for restocking. Food and drink service at the pool and beach was abysmal. I was asked once if I wanted a drink after being at the pool for hours. Ordered the burger it fell apart in chunks. Sent it back. Ordered the club sandwich at the beach the following day 75 minutes later still hadn’t arrived but had repeated assurances it would. Just so bad I really expected more from this brand. I would have spent hundreds of dollars if we had been waited on properly.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We are pleased to hear you enjoyed our beautiful beachfront location and found your room comfortable.

Very happy with the upgrade, everything was great however short staffed restaurants meant very slow service and not the warmest (only one or two servers, most were very pleasant!)

My spouse and I stayed at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion for 7 nights at the end of August/beginning of September 2026. There were high points and not-so-high points. Overall, the experience fell short of a 5-star hotel experience, but we did relax and unwind. I would describe the entire experience as "fine." Property/Amenities: overall the property had everything we needed, but it has seen better days. We did not explore the pool as it seemed to lack privacy (rectangular pool right by the restaurant undergoing constructions, with chairs around it, all close together) and instead stuck to the beach. The beach was spectacular, with amazing views and crystal clear water. The beach chairs and umbrellas were set up in sets of two in one single row, with enough space between them for privacy. We were always able to find a place to sit and had unobstructed views of the ocean; however, the chairs are apparently open to the public and often times the most desirable chairs were occupied by non-guests (they were not using hotel towels and exited the beach not through the hotel). Also, not each pair of chairs has a table, so we often had to find one elsewhere or do without. You also only have one or two opportunities to order food and drink on the beach each day. Finally, smoking is evidently allowed on the beach, which did put a damper on our experience at times. The gym, though a distance from the rooms near the main road, was well equipped, air conditioned, and had a water dispenser. The tennis courts were fine, but the rackets were old with peeling grips and the balls were flat and mostly unplayable. One major point amenity that was lacking was the ability to have fresh water at all times. You are given one bottle in your room per day, and there were glass water dispensers by the pool that quickly get depleted. The only place with an automatic water dispenser was the gym, which is a far walk from the beach, pool, and rooms. You could buy water at the little convenience store, but you had to buy at least $10 USD worth of items to be able to charge to the room. This seems like a major oversight that could easily be corrected by installing more water dispensers and perhaps giving guests a refillable water bottle. Room: again, fine. The room was spacious with a gorgeous ocean-front view and balcony. the air conditioning was wonderful after a hot day outside. However, it was dated and definitely due for a facelift. The furniture was worn, and not all of the outlets worked. The bathroom was serviceable but dark. The bed was comfortable. The pillows were not. Dining: The main restaurant was undergoing construction when we arrived but did re-open during our stay, and it was beautifully done with comfortable chairs and lush greenery. The other restaurant closed during our stay, which we didn't mind, and I expect it will be just as nice when it reopens. The breakfast buffet was small but satisfying with omlette stations and rotating dishes. The lunch and dinner menus were also varied, and I especially enjoyed the tuna tacos and catch of the day. Service: Most of the staff were incredibly warm and friendly. The front desk had the hotel cover one of our taxi fares when they booked us a cash-only taxi after telling us we could charge it to the room (we had not yet gotten local currency). However, there were a couple of staff members in the restaurant who were indifferent to the point of rudeness. And, service in the restaurant was very, very slow. It seemed like they were understaffed, which is understandable in the off season, but it's something to be aware of. Housekeeping did a nice job on the few days we had them do the room, though we did have to proactively ask for refills of certain toiletries. Other notes: Transportation from/to airport: not worth the $300 USD. It was the off season, so the line for customs was very short and the escort to the front of the line was not needed. With taxis, Ubers, and the PickUp Barbados app, we could have gotten to and from the hotel easily and without paying a huge premium. This may be a worthwhile benefit when the tourist season is very busy. I realize this lengthy review seems more negative than positive, but I think it important to share our experience when the hotel advertises itself as a 5-star resort.
