Reset your energy under the sun.
Great friendly service and a nice location. We had a great time under the sun. This is a sister property of four or five resorts, getting the water taxi to explore other all inclusive sister resorts ia amazing. The water toys are also very nice.

Lovely stay. The staff overall were very friendly. It’s a very relaxed hotel. The inclusive package was very good, easy to eat and drink too much! We had a junior suite overlooking the sea and it was a big room with everything you needed. Overall the hotel is a little tired. We were told it closing for a year in July for total refurbishment and it is needed. The area/road outside of the hotel is very busy and not really ideal for walking along.

Beautiful location
Beautiful location, friendly staff and decent food overall. Our first room was very outdated, AC was making loud whistling sound and toilet was leaking onto bathroom floor. We notified front desk and it was taken care of the next day. Antonia the manager came and found us and said she was aware of the problems and they were going to move us to an upgraded room. The next room was as good as the first room was bad. Much better view, amenities,overall comfort. Very thankful that they took care of us. Free water sports are a definite plus and the beach swimming area is very nice and safe, pools are nice. Overall the food was good but not great. We are vegetarian and our options were completely limited and lacking unless we ate the buffet, which was pretty good. The drinks were good and all included. All the servers were very attentive and sweet. The woman making omelets is a joy! The sister restaurants-Positano and Shiso at the Waves were excellent and I highly recommend eating at the other properties. Water taxi is free during the day but you have to take taxis after 4 pm. Taxis are pretty pricey but if you’re adventurous take the bus it’s only 3.60 Barbados! My only suggestion is that concierges we spoke to were not that knowledgeable and had to look up answers to any questions we had. One last thing the Wifi is pretty bad, but I hate to complain about overall lovely experience!

We checked in yesterday and so far, so good. HOWEVER, Expedia says Tamarind had a hot tub, and it does not. It’s not a huge thing, but it was one of the amenities we considered when booking our hotel in Barbados. I don’t know if this was an honest mistake or not, but either way it’s disappointing
