I had a hard time choosing a hotel on the West Coast. I had a budget in mind and was torn between three options. The Fairmont was running a special that made it the most affordable, so we booked it—though I’ll admit, some mixed reviews had me a bit nervous. After spending 7 nights there, I’m happy to say we’d absolutely return. All rooms are oceanfront with incredible views and perfect sunset-watching right from the balcony. The rooms themselves are very comfortable. The beach is lovely great for beach walking and collecting sea glass. The included breakfast buffet was generous and delicious—so much so that we never even needed lunch. Staff were friendly throughout our stay. I did mention it was our anniversary when booking, and while it wasn’t acknowledged (which is fine), it’s worth noting in case that matters to you. While I wouldn’t call it a true 5-star experience compared to other Fairmont properties, I’m giving it 5 stars based on value for money. Considering the price, the view, and the overall comfort, this was a great find—and I highly recommend it. Read less
Disappointing Levels of Service. Not Very Friendly

Staff member at Beach Club rude we explained we were members but had not been there before, she refused to give us a towel each and was miserable and unhelpful. Staff at Beach Club restaurant Taboras ignored us so we moved on. It does have a nice beach area but so does the whole of that side of the coast you will always find a lovely bit of beach… Read more
Staff member at Beach Club rude we explained we were members but had not been there before, she refused to give us a towel each and was miserable and unhelpful. Staff at Beach Club restaurant Taboras ignored us so we moved on. It does have a nice beach area but so does the whole of that side of the coast you will always find a lovely bit of beach so for me that’s not enough to consider staying there in the future and in any case all the beaches in Barbados are public.

Very relaxing, entertaining,.
مايو 12, 2025David A
The staff members were very friendly and helpful. The quality of the room was excellent, including room service. The highlight was sailing with Ryan on the hobie cat. He gave us a very entertaining ride. The gym, though small, was very adequate. The beach doesn't get any better than Royal Pavilion's.
Awesome and lovely hotel -Fairmont Royal Pavilion
