Tamarind by Elegant Hotels - All-Inclusive

2 years ago

A huge, belated thanks to the staff at the Tamarind for making our little family reunion/big B-day week-long trip a massive success. We were a group of 16, aged 2 - 80, and everyone had a blast. The kids loved the pools, the parents loved the bars by the pools, I enjoyed slipping away to the adjacent beach oasis. The free water sports were a hit, the food was excellent, the ocean views from the suites were breathtaking. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly, and were pros at dealing with all sorts. We had an amazing trip. I hope to go back to the Tamarind someday and I highly recommend it.

Beautiful hotel with a stunning location, just wow. The food was adequate and sometimes amazing. Breakfast buffet style, but do go and see Ether on the egg station, but if you order an omelette, don't ask for cheese until last, you've been warned. Lunch the sane buffet style unless you order food from the bar, but expect a slow delivery. Evening meal, sometimes off a menu other times buffet, it seems to depend on how they feel that day. Also, book your restaurant times asap for your evening meal. The beach was small but adequate, but the pool was more than enough for me. I do wish they had poolside waiters, but considering our experience with the hospitality staff, it may have been a blessing in disguise. The rooms are dated, but they suit the surroundings and are cleaned to a high standard. If you have a chance eat at the restaurant next door. It's included in your stay, but book it as soon as you arrive, the views are stunning. Unfortunately, waitresses and bar Staff were the only things that let this place down, 90% of them that is, the rest couldn't do enough for you. It may be that they had a bad week, but either way, it put a downer on our holiday.

Lovely! Really friendly and attentive staff. Was really quiet when we were there but started to fill up with families with young noisy kids as Easter approached. Great location right on the beach, and decent food. The water taxi to the 3 other hotels in the group was handy for a change of scenery. Taxis are really expensive - as is everything else! Duty free on gifts though bring prices down to UK levels. Recommended

Loved it here. Good value. Nice location, great beach. Pools and loungers welcoming. Cocktails great. Food was good, plenty of choice at buffet and a la carte. Would've liked more local Bajan cuisine though. Ocean view junior suite is spacious, comfy, nice balcony. Bed comfy and big but high to climb into, staff were great, provided extra towels on request for our 'couple time' - well, it is a romantic location!! Bathroom good, great rainfall shower and nice toiletries. Sure it's not a flash 5 star place, but for the money it's fine. Pay 3 times more if you want flash.

The property is lovely. The service was wonderful. Our favorites were Miss Alana at the Front Desk, Miss Ether at Breakfast, and Positano Restaurant, in particular their Excellent Bartender. Services included a ferry between sister properties and a variety of water sports. Unfortunately, water conditions didn't allow for us to use these services, but it is good to know it's available, weather permitting. My suggestion is to come prepared with Barbadian currency, because there is no atm on property. Also, it would have been nice to change up the breakfast buffet side items each day. Overall, I would stay here again.
