Recently returned from a 6 night stay. Very nice beach, with comfortable lounge chairs and umbrellas. The water staff arranged all water sports (non motorized) which are complementary (tips were very much appreciated) - tubing, banana boat rides, snorkeling. There are some people on the beach who approach items for sale or services such as hair braiding, renting jet skis.... More

I stayed here in December for over a week with a friend and we really had a fabulous time. From the warm welcome to the lovely clean room with the amazing balcony over the sea to the amazing breakfast. The poolside lunch was delicious, as was dinner in Daphnes. Holetown was a short taxi ride away, or a walk if... More

We thought this property was just ok. The absolute hands down best part is the Kids program, everybody that works there was extraordinarily nice and they let you come and go as you please at no additional cost. Our 8 year old daughter loved it. The breakfast buffet is average and the dinner we had at hotel average as well.... More

I spent a week at the Tamarind with my daughter and we are in the process of booking again for April as it was the best holiday we have ever had! I could find no faults whatsoever, from the minute you wake, the tasty breakfast, the beautiful crystal clear sea only steps away, the friendly staff providing the nice touches... More

I stayed at the hotel during December for 3 nights. All the staff I met were friendly and always willing to go out of their way to help. Daphne's which adjourns the hotel is a wonderful restaurant serving excellent food. The hotel has 3 pools and direct access to a really nice beach. The main bar which overlooks the largest... More

We stayed for 6 nights at Tamarind after a 10 year absence from Barbados. All I can say is that it matched all our expectations , and we couldn't have had a better week. Service throughout was first class, only wish we had taken advantage of the watersports earlier. Would definately recommend a coule of meals at Daphnes, a real... More

I won’t go into details about the facilities etc. as there are many good honest reports already submitted. It is so easy to forget that many people who have to work over the family oriented Christmas and New Year season would really prefer to be with their families and friends. For this reason I would particularly like to pay tribute... More
