I never write reviews but felt I had to Highlight the First-Class staff and the service we received during our recent vacation. We stayed with our 3 kids (all under 5) and although not typically peoples first choice for a family beach vacation, we stayed on points and this was the only Bonvoy option for Barbados. The Hotel is everything you would expect from the Courtyard brand; Clean rooms good breakfast, centrally located. There was only one exception to the courtyard standard... The hospitality we received here was second to none! Every single member of the staff, from the desk and wait staff to housekeeping and security went out of their way to ensure our vacation was both enjoyable and memorable. The knew our names within hours and stopped what they were doing every time we entered the hotel to engage with us and our girls. A very special thank you to GM Kelly-Ann who was so kind and helpful, and after learning my birthday was during our stay had cake, balloons, and a staff signed card delivered to our room, She made us feel not like guests of the hotel but friends of the hotel. Sorry i didn't get other names but whatever we needed it was handled by the staff almost immediately.
For those concerned about not being directly on the beach... its not really a big issue. we managed fine even with our double stroller and multiple beach accessories for the kids.
We will definitely return to Barbados (minus kiddos) when we can experience more of the wonderful Bajan culture with a stop at the Courtyard.
