This was our second trip to Barbados and our first stay at RP. We now understand why people go back there year, after year, after year. Our flight was delayed due to snow at Gatwick and so we didn't get to the hotel until after midnight, but from the moment we arrived on the beach the following morning we were... more

All the rooms on floor 2 and 3 have nice views. The beach is calm and very comfortable. Overall, we liked the grounds but we did not like to eat breakfast or lunch here. Very expensive and the food is well below a 5 out of 10. Cab rides are generally expensive so this is a downside to the place.... more

Have just returned from 8 nights at the FRP after an absence of 8 years, I have to say we couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more. The great thing about this hotel, is that all rooms are the same, so when you check in there is no point looking at other rooms, as they all have ocean views. We prefer an... more

The staff and their customer focus make this hotel, which is apparently why 70% of people return year after year. To begin with we could not understand why everyone around us was hugging one another and talking as though they were best of friends. We came to realise the same people go to this hotel at the same time every... more

We've stayed at Sandy Lane and yes the rooms are fabulous....but...for the money Royal Pavilion is really great. Sandy Lane costs per night what I paid for three at R.P. and that was for a garden view room. At R.P. all of the rooms have an ocean view. My only complaint (and there isn't much the hotel can do about... more

The Fairmont Royal Pavilion was well below our expecatations. We were hoping to book at the Sandpiper but it was fully booked, so we opted for what we thought was the next best hotel on the island behind the Sandy Lane. We researched very carefully and read every review possible of this hotel. Unfortunately only the bad reviews came to... more

I have been on a lot of vacations. I use trip advisor often for research but have never felt compelled to write a review. I just returned from a 4 day trip over columbus day holiday to Barbados and knew that as soon as I got home I needed to write about my experience. My husband and I (as well... more

Have just come back from a 10 day stay at the Fairmont. It was our first time in the Caribbean and am glad we chose this hotel (and Barbados). We wanted a relaxing holiday and managed to do this despite having time to explore the whole island Good points: Lovely decent sized room, sea facing, all being right in front... more

We stayed at the Fairmont for 10 days in January as part of our honeymoon. While this hotel is expensive at this time of year I believe it was money well spent. We loved the excellent service like being checked in, in your room over a lovely glass of fruit punch and the afternoon tea (we seemed to be 15... more
