FABULOUS HOLIDAY IN A GORGEOUS LOCATION

We had a wonderful family holiday at Sea Breeze and it was definitely one of our best holidays. The location is stunning and all our needs were met. We look forward to returning some day soon and I highly recommend it.

Utterly underwhelming

Considering just how expensive Brabados is ,one is under the impression there will be a "wow" factor.This hotel most certainly does not have it. We 've just returned from what was supposed to be a memorable 70th birthday celebration and felt utterly flat even from forst being showed to our room by a guy who seemed pretty diffident and not exactly welcoming. The room was fine,kept very clean and no complaints there. Pools are nice and location on the oceanfront takes some beating. Odd then that we should spend most of our week looking at othre beaches where we found locals actually smiled and wanted to engage with us as we handed over our money for food/drinks. Sea Breeze we found lacked soul so evident in the risible evening entertainment and virtually non existent daytime entertainment and given this hotel is pretty isolated guests really do want to be entertained to some degree and not by a sullen saxophonist gazing out into space. Some sullen waiting on staff and long waiting times does not make a big birthday memorable and I found it hard to forgive .However,those returning guests seemed to be far les prone to distain or indifference. Looking around Barbados ,it is desperately poverty striken mainly down to a recent corrupt government so people are worried about jobs and falling tourist numbers evident by our hotel which seemed half empty.That aid,staff shouldnt treat customers-their bread and butter-with disinterest. I hasten to add not all taff had this attitude ,ome a joy to talk to but my God,something is wrong with this hotel and it needs a major rethink.Meh

WARNING - 4 star hotel with an unsecured luggage room - cash was stolen.

Hotel’s response below: It's not a secure area: Other guests use this facility constantly to go back and forth from their bags, for their own personal reasons and this area is assigned to be used by all guests departing the hotel. Definitely not our staff: We did conduct some internal checks as is our policy once any matter is reported to us but we were unable to reach a conclusion on this matter. Not our problem anymore: You’ve left the hotel, we are saddened to hear that such a thing allegedly took place & thank you for staying with us and for bringing this to our attention. Conclusion: DO NOT leave anything in the hotel’s possession when checking out - anyone can enter the luggage room & help themselves. Other than the above the holiday was very good overall.

One night only but not impressed

We ended up in this hotel because we missed a connection to another island and it was recommended by the travel agent as equivalent to the hotel we should have been staying at. The welcome was average tbh. The room was fine, decent size with a balcony that looked sideways out to pool and a bit of beach ,bathroom had a hair just sitting in the shower tray....No shower gel but there was shampoo and conditioner. We went for a meal and they had a bbq on that night and the food was ok but the restaurant was like a canteen. The beach in front was fine but the part close to our room looked like it had some minor building work. The hotel is very spacious, almost too much and lacks soul.It has a colonial feel but not tired. The barman inside the hotel was attentive and funny so that was a plus. Breakfast was taken in the canteen and again I would call it average, with the omelettes tasting of the oil they were cooked in. Not sure what else to say but at $450 a night we expected much more.......
