Trip advisor WOW We originally booked the Waves hotel, but due to the adults only side being refurbished we had the choice of moving to the House. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel at home and welcomed to this small hotel. The staff were amazing, just to mention a few, Denis in the bar, Wade, Pat in charge of everything to do with the eggs, the omelettes were great, ham, cheese, mushroom and onion that I had was delicious. “Few too many times” The choice of food was great and delicious. For all the negative reviews, I think they might have had one too many rum punches. Just to the right of the hotel looking out to sea is a small reef great for snorkelling, I’d recommend bringing water shoes as some of the broken pieces of corals and shell etc are sharp as you get in. There has been some negative reviews about the hotel needing updating, and the hotel could do with an overhaul, which is coming soon. But had no complaints, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. I really do hope they hang on to the staff when they do the re-fit. We had a ground floor garden view and would definitely be happy to book this again. There is no reception, but the ambassadors are very knowledgeable and can’t do enough for you. To sum up, if you want a small relaxed hotel, where you are made to feel special then the House is for you.

We are actually at this amazing little gem as I write from my sunbed overlooking the beautiful sea! We were really worried before due to some very negative reviews but I wanted to write this to say how happy we are we chose here! There are sunbeds a plenty and the wonderful staff cannot do enough for you. Continually coming around the pool area to ask if you want anything, drinks are a plenty and delicious , food is great! It is a little dated hence the refurb happening, but rooms are very spacious and clean. Nothing is to much for them, I even asked for extra lamps in my room and they arrived in minutes! I loved the no reception concept, so no queuing, you just ask someone whatever you want and they make it happen! If you want a true Caribbean, totally chilled out experience I recommend here, if you want a stuffy, action packed noisy experience then not for you! They even secretly set up a birthday breakfast with balloons for my husbands birthday as we were a ground floor terrace. For us it’s been perfect and central to all the other restaurants like The Cliff, Sandy land etc we also booked! Thank you The House for your wonderful hospitality xxxxx

“Memorable first visit to Barbados and The House”

This was our first visit to Barbados and we were not disappointed. We were a family group, travelling with our 2 sons and their partners. Some negative reviews about The House were of concern before our arrival but our stay was truly wonderful and we experienced first rate service from ambassadors and all the staff. We enjoyed very comfortable and spacious suites with sea views, plenty of sun beds - no need for a 6am start to secure one!, good food, especially the fish and seafood, with staff noting one person was gluten free (fairly well catered for) another was vegetarian’baby’ pescatarian. There was champagne at breakfast (and any other time of the day as well) and super bar staff who delighted us with cocktails, soft drinks and water on demand. The rum punch was a particular favourite for all of us. We did eat out a number of times but enjoyed lunch (the grill lunches were notably delicious) and dinner at the hotel on quite a few occasions. We did not experience the other sister hotels via the water taxi service, that’s for next time! The beach was a matter of steps away with a variety of water sports readily available, with only a few incurring an additional charge eg jet skis and boat trips. The snorkelling over the rocks to the right of the beach at the hotel was excellent. This hotel does not have the glitz of a modern hotel but it is still a beautiful and restful place to stay. It has rustic charm, stunning views and a personal service that is so important for the perfect holiday. Upcoming renovations can only enhance what is already a small but well established jewel on the west coast. We will be back!

“Nice hotel, great staff, needs a refurb!”

This is a typical all inclusive where it’s not ALL, but PART, where you get the bottom shelf drinks, but have to pay for anything decent.

This is a typical all inclusive where it’s not ALL, but PART, where you get the bottom shelf drinks, but have to pay for anything decent. Our room was in need of a refurb but very comfortable, however having paid extra for a suite, we were extremely close to the restaurants extractor fans, so we had constant noise and smell! However the food was good although not many choices, and the staff were excellent. A special thanks to Agnes, Kriezy and Dennis who made our stay memorable.
