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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I’m reaching out regarding a recent stay I had at the Royal Pavillion. I would email the hotel directly but I don’t believe the issues we had would be rectified for future guests, or responded to at all. Reservation # QCZSFVRP This was our 3rd time staying at the Royal Pavillion. We were traveling with my wife’s bother, his wife, and young child. Our first 2 stays at the hotel were great, which led us to the 3rd. We recommended to my brother in law to join since our first 2 experiences were amazing, however this trip left us feeling embarrassed to have brought them. My sister and father are both also diamond members. We have told them the great things about the first 2 stays but didn’t want to tell them about the 3rd, again because we feel like we recommended an experience that didn’t live up to past stays. To begin, 1) we emailed the hotel in advance to inform them we needed a car seat with airport transfer for my niece. This was not responded to or relayed to the driver which caused a 30 minute delay leaving the airport. The driver did not arrive with one and had to find staff at the airport to borrow one from. 2) when we arrived at the hotel we learned there was only one restaurant open, and only one menu to choose from for lunch at dinner. Although we understand renovations at hotels occur we would have appreciated being told in advance. 3) we requested Fairmont fit gym gear far in advance of the stay. This was never responded to and no gear was in the room. The next day we went to the front desk to inquire about it only to be told they might have clothes but no shoes until Monday. Monday came and we received no update. On Tuesday a lady at the desk told us shoes will not be available. With the advanced notice we gave the hotel it doesn’t seem difficult to have planned in advance to ensure everything was there and on time. 4) halfway through the stay we started to not recognize other people using the hotel beach chairs and pool facilities. They did not conduct themselves as guests would have. Brining their own open liquors, openly smoking, and were verbally abnoctious. This was concerning as we were traveling with a baby girl under the age of 2. When I phoned the front desk to let them know we were told that they now allow people to pay for a daily beach rate to use the facilities. One of the reasons why we have been so loyal to the Fairmont is because of a shared guest experience with others who are similar to us in terms of class and behaviour. This was not the case during our stay. This ultimately left my nieces parents and my wife very uncomfortable. Left us thinking how much money we could have saved to stay a block away and pay to use the beach on a daily basis. 5) room cleanliness was not what you would expect from a Fairmont stay. Areas of the room were left uncleaned, empty bottles were left in the room for days, and finished fruit such as plumb and apple cores placed on a plate in the room to be discarded were left for days. 6) minor staff issues. This one we were contemplating not brining up because most of the staff are extremely kind and accommodating. However, approx 20% of our interactions with staff were terrible. Some made simple quotations seem like a chore giving no proper answer and showed a genuine lack of care. Some made us feel like they were doing us a favour by answering a question , as they were visibly not interested. One of the male beach servers on our 2nd day pulled me aside and asked that I tip in cash, as tipping on the room charge is split equally amongst employees and not given directly to him. Feeling generous I gave him 20 Barbados cash. After this he persisted to become more and more pressuring for tips. At one point I was asleep and my wife ordered a drink at the beach. When she tried to pay he asked that she finds me or waits because “your husband prefers to tip in cash”. Needless to say this was a very uncomfortable situation to be in, making us want to avoid the beach. 7) final payment. I have been trying to contact the hotel to send us a PDF copy of our bill so I can ensure the $1,800.00 Barbados pre payment was voided. I have sent 2 follow ups over email and have had no response. This is the first time we have ever felt the need to reach out to a hotel to voice our unpleasant experience and do not wish it to become reflective of the good staff at the hotel. Mary Ann and Shane are notably great. We wish these points are positively received with good intention to fix them for future guests.sure everything was done possible to remedy them. One or two of these issues would not have been an overly large issue. The compounding of multiple made its impact. I have stayed at Fairmonts in Maui, Shanghai, Vancouver (all 4), Whistler, Banff, Lake Louise, Seattle, and San Francisco just from recent memory and haven’t seen this compound of issues before.

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
