A wonderful location on the West Coast of Barbados

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

Peter H TripAdvisor review

We have just returned after another excellent stay at The Fairmont Royal Pavilion in Barbados. The hotel has a wonderful location right on what is the best beach on the west coast. We were again Royally looked after by Michael Sealy, who surly needs to be made the New General Manager. Assisted by many of staff, the hotel does all it can to provide you with the perfect holiday, and we look forward to returning again next year.

Lovely staff and beach .. shame about main restaurant

Bill A TripAdvisor review

Just had a cheeky pre Christmas 8 days in the sun at Fairmont.. The staff were great .. big shout out to Nicole and Rea who looked after us on the beach and Michael who set up the chairs each day. Fabulous beach and swim area … rooms very tidy each day with turndown. Sadly the only meal we had in the main restaurant Palm Terrace was breakfast on the day we left … no explanation provided. Also managed to delay room by 1 hour so only had to hang around for 90 minutes until taxi but no courtesy room for departing guests is a first. Overall though would go back

Beautiful Setting, Great Service, but Some Missed Details

Beverley F TripAdvisor review

We just returned from a 7 nights to celebrate my birthday and our 40th wedding anniversary. The property is absolutely beautiful—small, intimate, right on the ocean with a lovely beach and great views. Service was wonderful throughout, and housekeeping twice a day kept everything spotless. Transfers were included both ways. Departure was smooth, but arrival was messy. There was confusion and some chaos, and the team had to find alternative transportation instead of the prearranged transfer being ready. Check-in also didn’t hit the mark. After a long travel day, not receiving the welcome drink that was meant to be offered didn’t set the right tone. We followed up the next day and received it then. The Palm Terrace restaurant was closed with no advance notice, which left only one restaurant open. While breakfast was excellent, the main menu became repetitive and the food overall was just average. We did have a pre-booked private dinner on the beach for our anniversary, and that was fantastic—great food and attentive service. We booked a beachfront suite that advertised a butler, daily canapés, and afternoon tea. These perks were disappointing. The butlers appeared inconsistently, the canapés were poor, and the tea was mediocre. At this price point, these extras need to be much better—or not offered at all. Overall, it’s a gorgeous property in a stunning location, and we would return—but only after confirming Palm Terrace is operating. For a quiet getaway in a beautiful setting, it’s a lovely choice as long as expectations are set correctly.

We visited this property in 1988 before we were married. We came back for our 35th anniversary this past week. Overall, we had a pleasant stay. We appreciated the upgrade to a suite and the bottle of champagne upon arrival. Our room was clean and comfortable. The staff was very pleasant. We were disappointed that the Palm Terrace was closed for our entire stay. That led to long waits for breakfast. The menu at Tabores was the same throughout our week stay so it would have been nice to go to the Palm Terrace for dinner. This led us to venture out for dinner to other restaurants for six of our seven nights there. That being said we will certainly return.
