Sunbay Hotel

I loved it. Good value for money! Freshly cooked breakfast daily with omelettes or fried eggs on demand! We were in one of the deluxe rooms which had a flat screen and access to plenty of stations. Rooms had a microwave and a fridge so bring a travel kettle, teas, coffees etc. I have seen alot of negative reviews. If you want a 5 star hotel then expect to pay for it. Others we looked at were £1k extra each. It is a bit out of the way but walk 5 mins up the road to get the ZR buses! Can be a tight squeeze but only just over 3 Bajan dollars and every 5 minutes to the Gap and Bridgetown! Expect loud music and to go at speeds but I love it! The people are amazing and friendly. The hotel staff did their jobs they are not always happy and smiling they are getting on with their work but a hello to them and make the effort to get to know them and they start to open up! I expect they work long hours for not a great wage. The air-conditioning was brilliant! The rooms were clean! I would definitely go again!

What a great location! Cross the road to the beach, a nice little beach with a few hotels a bit further down. The staff are very friendly and helpful! I will definitely be returning!

The good: spacious room, location- easy access to the bus stops. That's it. Now I'm gonna write up how bad it was right from the entrance. 1. Building is & looks old, patched up and everyone looks tired. Staff doesn't want to help you and ARE RUDE. Having a breakfast is an embarrassment. Who would end up in Barbados and not wake up fresh and begin the day with excitement? it all dies once you go for breakfast. They stare at you as if you're a burden and are in some prison. So many restrictions to eat which aren't displayed anywhere. Trust me guys you don't wanna face the two individuals serving you breakfast with annoying gestures. It's not just us.. we made a couple of friends around and they all had the same thought- not something I'm making up. Nothing great about the breakfast either.. I hate toasts now for good. No fresh fruits, watered up juices, strictly avoid breakfast here if you can. 2. Coming to the rooms.. although they're spacious and air-conditioned some parts of the room were old. I won't complain much because after the long nights it's comfortable and serves the purpose. Bed is alright. 3. Poolside- avoid! You will find the sunbeds ,yes, but without cushions and bent/moldy. They have no sunbeds for the beach.. I learnt this after staying there as I couldn't find the info anywhere..so here it is if it helps. There's a tiny path through the weeds and shrubs bang opposite the entrance gate through which you'll have access to the beach which is usually quiet and not so crowded. That's one plus! You will also get to see the hotels you regret not booking, lol. Finally, I would like to request the management to train their staff to be more polite and smile more. Also be more proactive in suggesting us better tour packages etc. I won't go back here anyway.

My experience at Sunbay was satisfactory. The welcome was great, very courteous staff. Support with communication by whatsapp that I found very innovative A very large restaurant, a very nice swimming pool and the beach right in front. I really liked the decor of the room, an old style but very classy. However, I didn't like the decor of the corridors leading to the rooms. The hotel offers breakfast, which is not something I find in hotels in Barbados. I highly recommend this hotel if you are going to Barbados for a family or romantic getaway.

The whole hotel is tired and in need of a major refurbishment.Our supposedly superior room had shower taps that came away from the wall. Despite repeatedly asking we had no tea making facilities and our safe never worked. The balcony sliding door had to be properly man handled to open or close it. We had rain pouring through our bathroom ceiling after heavy rain. The staff made notes of our complaints but nobody actually did anything. On our last day the pool was closed.
