Overall had a blast the staff are the best. The rooms are basic but you get what you pay for. I would come again as the staff made my stay even greater. Big up the kitchen staff the reception staff and not leaving out the manager. She was lovely and welcoming and as I already said I would come back again.

Sunbay was ideally positioned for the type of holiday we wanted. We were able to explore Oistins, St Lawrence gap, Maxwell and Worthing whilst also having a day in Bridgetown after the hotel arranged a taxi for us. The rooms were dated and needed a spruce up to say the least but they were spacious and the large balcony with a sea view was very nice. Weird how the bathrooms had a large vent into the hallway meaning you could hear someone showing (amongst other things) from the other end of the hallway. Cleaning staff were fantastic, and cleaned our room daily. Pool area is pretty basic and the breakfast was not great! I wouldn’t call the onsite food a restaurant and it was a bit over priced for food based on the quality. We ate out almost every day and night (even breakfast) Staff were laid back and often looked like they weren’t sure what to do or how to approach guests. A bit of customer service training and behaving with confidence would help. The little beach over the road was really private and a bit of a tidy up on the walk to it (litter dumped) would really help elevate it. Locals were great and friendly, definitely need another experience in Barbados. As a hotel it did what it said in the tin. It was 3* so we knew what to expect, a little more confidence A real middle of the road experience for us but what an amazing island! Read less
