Hilton Barbados Resort

Clean with a beautiful view! Extremely accommodating and friendly. Great restaurants, drinks, and staff. Highly recommended. We didn’t get to check out the spa yet, but we wanted to. Oh and their end of year party sounded so fun! We’ll definitely be back.

Firstly the positives. Fab location, wonderful view on bay side. If you are facing Hiltons own beach then be prepared for outside DJ noise at weekend until late. Reception staff great, housekeeping staff very friendly and service on room keeping mosrlty positive. Bar service and food service around pool area very slow, even when it's quiet. Breakfast is ok but could be better with regards to quality of food. Only filter coffee and tea included. The general areas of hotel were very dirty though, mens toilet was disgusting on several occasions. Quite a few Americans but the hotel can't help this. Guests from other hotels were using the beach facilities with no effort from staff to prevent this. Also street vendors allowed on beach to pester you, which was very disappointing. Good hotel but could do alot better in places.

We stayed at the Hilton Barbados for two nights as a stopover before boarding our cruise ship, and unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming. The rooms are clearly worn and in need of maintenance. For a Hilton property, the condition was disappointing and not what we expected given the brand and location. Dining was another letdown. The food at the restaurants was not very good overall, and to make matters worse, one of the restaurants was closed during our short stay, which limited our options even further. The biggest issue, however, was housekeeping. We left our room at 8:00am and placed the “service room please” sign on the door. When we returned at 4:00pm, the room had not been touched at all. By 4:20pm, we gave up and simply requested fresh towels. Based on this experience, it appeared that room servicing happens much later in the day or perhaps early evening. Given that impression, we thought requesting a slightly later checkout (1Pm) would be a reasonable accommodation. Unfortunately, that request was denied. As a Hilton Gold member, I expected at least some flexibility, but that status didn’t seem to mean much here. Overall, this hotel did not meet expectations and was a disappointing way to start what was otherwise an exciting cruise vacation.

We didn’t stay at the hotel but purchased a day pass for $90 USD per person, and honestly, it didn’t quite feel worth the price. In fact, it seems like you could easily walk in without a pass—there are towels located right at the front, and no one asked for any verification that we were staying there or had resort access. The pool and jacuzzi areas are definitely outdated, with visible cracks and several missing tiles. The jacuzzi was also lukewarm instead of hot, which was disappointing. The beach itself had rough waves due to the cooler weather that day, so that part wasn’t the hotel’s fault. However, the shoreline is surrounded by rocks, making it difficult for the public to access without going through the resort. On the positive side, there were a few unique touches that we enjoyed. There’s a designated photo spot on the beach with large Barbadian sunglasses, which made for some fun pictures—just be careful not to touch it. A snow cone vendor came by for about an hour and offered free snow cones, including an alcoholic option, which was a fun surprise. Since we visited on Barbados’ Independence Day (11/30/25), the staff also walked around offering small free samples of traditional Barbadian foods. I’m not sure if these perks happen regularly, but they were definitely a nice addition to our visit. The day pass includes a $60 USD food credit, so we grabbed lunch at the bar. Unfortunately, the service there wasn’t great. Our waitress acted confused and somewhat rude when we asked about how the voucher worked. We also had to wait at least 10–15 minutes just to get her attention, even though it wasn’t busy—she spent most of the time slowly wiping down tables and didn’t seem interested in checking in. Overall, it was a decent day with a few memorable highlights, but between the outdated amenities and the poor service, I wouldn’t pay for this day pass again.

We stayed at the Hilton Barbados Resort for one night during a transit trip and even though our time was short, we were impressed with what we experienced. The room was spotless and finished to a high standard, with stunning views that made us wish for more time. The sea was very inviting, and the pool looked great. The area is great and lively. In the morning you can see horses being bathed in the sea nearby. There are lots of trees around which make everything feel lush. The hotel is close to the Richard Haynes Boardwalk, a lovely stretch for walks by the sea with beautiful views, palm trees, shops, and places to eat. We had a car hired and there was plenty of parking at no extra charge, which made things very convenient. The hotel is only about 25 minutes from the airport, so it was ideal for our short transit stay. The service was excellent. Staff were extremely friendly and very accommodating. There was a small issue with the room late at night, and someone from engineering was sent within minutes, even though it was midnight. Their responsiveness and professionalism really stood out. Even though we were only there one night, the experience left a strong impression. We would definitely return to enjoy more of the facilities and the atmosphere.
