Members of the Front desk staff was incredibly unhelpful, unknowledgeable, not service oriented and times rude and untruthful. Especially true of the management. We had fairmont gift cards that the Fairmont website says are accepted worldwide. The front desk staff went so far as to tell us the program was discontinued in the Caribbean - which was an outright lie. It took tense conversations on every day of our vacation, with an insistence on finding a solution and eventually as escalation to David - the director of finance to resolve the solution. And it was our initiative to track him down. The front desk staff just stonewalled us. David was the ONLY person who listened and made a commitment to figure it out. And it was not his job! You have a culture issue within your front desk staff that needs addressing.

Martin M. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

We have stayed at the Fairmont royal Pavilion 10 to 15 times over many years and love the location and the staff are excellent. Has been obvious the hotel has been aging for some time and doesn't live up to a five star rating. On this trip our room smelt musty on arrival, on 3 occasions during an 8 night stay we had no hot water or the water went off completely. Also the air conditioning broke and had to be repaired. The staff as ever did the best they could and we were given a small discount on our bill. We love coming to Barbados and have many fond memories of staying at the Fairmont, but sadly the infrastructure of the hotel is failing and does not justify its premium pricing.

Dear Valued Return Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback and, above all, for your loyalty to the Fairmont Royal Pavilion over so many years. It means a great deal to know you continue to choose us over the years and have created many fond memories here in Barbados. While we are delighted to hear our location and team members continue to make a positive impression, we are sincerely sorry that several aspects of your recent stay fell short of expectations. The musty odour in your room upon arrival, the repeated hot water and water supply interruptions, and the air-conditioning failure are certainly not the experience we strive to provide, especially for a valued returning guest. We appreciate your recognition of our colleagues' efforts to assist during these challenges, but we also understand service alone can't compensate for the infrastructure issues which impacted your comfort throughout your stay. Your comments regarding the condition of the property and the value proposition of our premium rates are fully understood. Please be assured we are currently undertaking a number of enhancement and maintenance initiatives across the resort aimed at improving our facilities and ensuring a more seamless guest experience. While this does not diminish the inconvenience you experienced during your stay, we hope these investments will help preserve the exceptional setting and service which has made the Fairmont Royal Pavilion such a special destination for so many of our returning guests. Thank you again for taking the time to provide this candid feedback. We truly value your longstanding support and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide the experience you have come to expect from us! Shamara

Staff were lovely throughout but the dining experience was less upmarket than I expected. Not sure about the cats trying to jump up on the table. I’m a cat fan but don’t want them trying to get my tasty fish chowder. I’m sure they kept the unwanted wildlife in check though.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your lovely feedback! We are delighted you had a good stay and our team helped make it a positive experience. Our staff truly are the heartbeat of our property, so we are especially pleased your visit reflected this.

Patrick R. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

Was a bit disappointing. Starting off at the airport there was no record of our private luxury car round trip transportation, so we were put in a taxi where the driver was less than happy about having to go into the hotel and receive payment. I do have confirmation email of our transportation that was supposed to be there for us. When we got to hotel we were escorted to our beachfront butler suite where three workers were on our private deck. One was hammering something and the others were staining our deck boards with stain. Needless to say we could not go out there that day or night :( Our end of bed ottoman was covered in dirt, mold and mildew. The room console/vanity table was covered in black stains. The bathtub grout dirty, brown, rusty. The hotel was not a 5 star property that we are used to.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced, from the missing airport transfer arrangements to the maintenance work on your private deck upon arrival. I am also very sorry for the cleanliness concerns in your suite and the inconvenience during checkout. Your experience is not reflective of the standards we strive to provide, and your comments have been shared with the relevant teams for immediate review. We value your loyalty as an ALL member and appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention. Reviews such as yours help us identify areas for improvement and bridge service gaps. Please be assured your feedback is being addressed with the appropriate departments to help prevent similar issues in the future. Shamara

All staff members I encountered were very friendly. I enjoyed my conversation with Mark who work on the gardens, he pointed out the different trees and their purpose. You could tell he enjoyed his work. The only issue I encountered was an additional nightly rate on my bill at the end of my stay that I was not informed about when I checked in. The rate I initially received was inclusive of all fees and government taxes so I was quite surprised to see that additional charge. Nonetheless, I had an enjoyable stay.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your kind feedback. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and especially appreciate your recognition of Mark's passion for our gardens and Mr. Cumberbatch's friendly and efficient service. We apologize for the confusion regarding the additional nightly charge and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We also value your comments about the Wi-Fi speed and will review this with our team. We hope to welcome you back again soon to Fairmont Royal Pavilion in the future! Shamara

Problems from the second we landed until we left. No transportation was provided and no one there to welcome us as promised. I was told the resort didn’t have our information, but reminded them that I responded to their email and have it documented. I was charged over $600 for transportation. We get to the resort and were told not to pay the taxi driver, that the hotel would reimburse him. The taxi driver became angry with us and confrontational. We then walked into the resort and they said we owe the whole amount for the hotel and I showed them the receipt they sent to me from March of this year saying the total balance was paid and we owed $0. We sat there for over 45 mins waiting to go to our room. There was a lot of back and forth. I showed them the email they sent us saying we owed nothing. They took us to our room on the 3rd floor and it was leaking water on the floor and smelled moldy. I told them that I specifically paid for a room on the first floor with butler service and they said no. They then looked into and realized I was right and they were wrong. They then moved us to our correct room. This was a 50th birthday trip for my wife. Our friends were meeting us there from South Carolina. They had the same experience with transportation. Had to take a cab. The whole time we were there from Thursday to Monday, I was being questioned and confronted about paying. I told them I did pay and a manager finally came up to me and apologized and said they looked into it and everything was taken care of and that we owed nothing. I then canceled our in-room massages as everything had already been a mess, wasn’t in the mood to lay in a musty room and get a massage. We canceled it the day before the scheduled massage. We then went to the desk to make sure it was canceled because we heard nothing back and they said they would make sure, but we would be charged for half the fee because it was being canceled less than 4 hours before. Again, we had to tell them to look at the emails and they said they did and said we didn’t have to pay. Finally, when we were leaving the resort, while in the taxi we ordered ourselves, the staff confronted our friends about the bill and asked if I was paying mine. This is absolutely rude, and disrespectful. That should never have happened and is embarrassing. We finally flew home and I learned that the resort charged us full amount for our stay, including the transportation that we never received. Think about this happening to you. I’m not looking for anything to be free nor am I asking for anything in return, but I can’t recommend this place to anyone. Was not relaxing or enjoyable at all. Please don’t treat people that way. If you make a mistake, own it. If you tell someone everything is taken care of, own it. This was a terrible experience.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are deeply sorry that what should have been a memorable celebration for your wife's 50th birthday became such a stressful and disappointing experience. Please accept our sincere apologies for the failures surrounding your airport transportation, the confusion regarding your reservation, the delays and challenges at check-in, the incorrect room assignment, the condition of the room initially provided, and the repeated requests for payment throughout your stay despite prior assurances the matter had been resolved. We are especially concerned by the manner in which billing concerns were addressed in front of your friends during your departure, as we understand how embarrassing and upsetting that must have been. Your comments have been shared with our leadership team for immediate review. In addition, a member of our Guest Services team will be reaching out to you personally to discuss your experience further and ensure your concerns are properly addressed. Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention. We sincerely regret we did not provide the seamless and relaxing experience you expected and deserved. Shamara

Two years ago this hotel was great, yes it had a couple of flaws but the staff were amazing and made the stay a memorable experience. Now, however, things are not as good as they used to be. Yes, some staff continue to do their very best to make the stay wonderful but there are others who don't seem to try or care. I experienced people vaping at breakfast and the staff didn't challenge, there were, mostly at breakfast, far too many instances of people using electronic devices on speakers to either placate children or to make phone/video calls with no staff challenge. I expect much better from a 5* resort. Standards should still exist. The food offerings at both breakfast and dinner are not as comprehensive as they were. The biggest issue I had though was the group introduced a new accounting system. The communication process of this change was appallingly advised to guests and the result was that funds were incorrectly taken from a wrong card which incurred unnecessary exchange fees. Whilst this was corrected it took far longer than was necessary and could have been easily avoided. I will add that the beach staff were and continue to be fantastic. Helpful, friendly and attentive - if only more staff could be like them. It is such a shame because the location of this hotel is incredible and there are some amazing restaurants and places to eat in the vicinity.

Dear Valued Return Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback regarding your recent stay. We are truly disappointed to learn your experience did not reflect the high standards you remembered from your previous visit. While we are pleased to hear you continue to value our exceptional beachfront location and members of our team, particularly Shane and our breakfast hostess, made a positive impression, it is concerning to learn about the inconsistencies in service which you encountered throughout your stay. Please accept our sincere apologies for the issues you experienced regarding guest etiquette in public areas, the reduced food offerings, the communication surrounding room availability, missed turndown service, and the reliability of the Wi-Fi. Most importantly, we regret the inconvenience and frustration caused by the billing error during check-out. We understand how stressful this must have been, particularly on your departure day, and we are sorry the situation was not resolved more efficiently. Your comments regarding the recent accounting system transition and the need for clearer communication has been shared with our leadership team for review. We also appreciate your observations regarding our dining experience, service standards, and sustainability initiatives, as this feedback helps us identify areas where improvement is needed. We value your loyalty and are especially saddened this visit did not meet the expectations established during your previous stay. Thank you for recognizing the efforts of those team members who contributed positively to your experience, and for bringing these concerns to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence in us in the future. Shamara

I am a travel agent and Group travel host. I had around 20 people needing an emergency hotel in Barbados after a Crystal Cruise itinerary was interrupted and canceled. My contact, Amber Kasses, came to my rescue within minutes of communicating with her. Both she and Tonisha, on the property, quickly and efficiently arranged rooms for my Group.

Dear Partner, Thank you for trusting us and our team with your group during this unexpected travel disruption. Amber and Tonisha will be thrilled to learn your guests had a great experience with us. We are proud of the care, responsiveness, and professionalism they demonstrated, and your kind recognition means a great deal to the entire team. As you are aware, we are currently undertaking several enhancement projects across property to further elevate the guest experience. We appreciate your understanding and valuable feedback as we continue these improvements. We truly value our partnership and look forward to working with you again in the near future! Shamara

This property is not 5 star. Property is very run down and need of updates. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Beach area was great — long long waits for drinks to be served at the beach and pool. Food was terrible. We complained at both of our dinners (that were very expensive). Service at meals was super slow. Condiments at the breakfast bar were sloppy and not well maintained. We will not stay at this property again.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for sharing your candid feedback. While we are pleased to hear our team members, especially Shaq and Tia, made a positive impression and you enjoyed our beach area, we are truly sorry the overall experience did not meet your expectations. We sincerely apologize for the condition of the property, the cleanliness concerns you encountered, and the disappointing dining experiences during your stay. Your comments regarding the room and balcony cleanliness, the presentation of our breakfast stations, the slow food and beverage service, and the quality of the meals have been shared with the appropriate teams for immediate review. While we are currently making enhancements to the property to provide an improved guest experience, we recognize this did not positively impact your stay. We regret we fell short of delivering the level of quality and service you expected and appreciate your honest feedback as it helps us identify opportunities for improvement. Shamara

Our stay was not the greatest due to the following issues: 1. There was major renovations going on throughout the property which we were unaware of until we reached the location. 2. The cable stopped working at least 3 times during our stay. 3. The Air condition was not cooling effectively and leaked.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize your stay was impacted by ongoing renovations, technical issues with the cable and air conditioning, and also the oversight regarding your complimentary welcome drinks. While we are making enhancements to the property to provide an even better guest experience in the future, we understand the inconvenience these disruptions caused and regret they affected your visit. Your comments regarding the Wi-Fi, room comfort, and communication around the renovations have been shared with the appropriate teams for review. We appreciate your recognition of our cleanliness, breakfast offerings, and team members, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much-improved experience at Fairmont Royal Pavilion in the future.
