Sunbay Hotel

Great value, our 2nd time staying here. Breakfast is a bonus, although quite basic. We asked for a room with good WiFi (as last time we couldn't pick up a signal) and I managed to work with no problems at all this time. We took tea and coffee as they don't supply anything in the room - we asked for a kettle and cups which they quickly took to our room for us. The pool is good and the gardens are very well kept and lovely sit in. Manage your expectations- this is not a luxury hotel, but it has everything you need for a very pleasant, great value holiday.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Sun Bay Hotel in Barbados, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! The hotel's pools were absolutely amazing - perfect for relaxing and soaking up the Caribbean sun. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, providing everything I needed for a wonderful stay. But what really stood out was the breakfast - the spread was incredible, with a wide variety of delicious options to suit every taste. I highly recommend the Sun Bay Hotel to anyone looking for a fantastic Barbados getaway. Can't wait to return.

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!

AVOID AVOID AVOID Positives - Great location; close to Oistins and Saint Lawrence Gap Negatives - Arrived at 5.30 and despite it being advertised that check in available from 3pm, we had to wait two hours for our room. After an hour we queried the wait, we were told its because they had other large parties checking in. Didn't get in our room until gone 7pm. No apology, just attitude. - Staff are incompetent and lazy. We stayed for 3 days and house keeping didn't change the bedding, remove dirty/replace glasses in room, have to beg for fresh towels, don't clean the bathroom. Staff also have constant attitude and sour faces when asked anything. Hostile environment. Roll eyes and kiss their teeth. - The hotel is tired, dirty and run down. The restaurant area isn't even fit to be called a restaurant. The breakfast is basic at best and staff don't efficiently clear away or clean tables. Toaster at breakfast broke and the waitress just walked off. Not interested in helping. The 'bar' is more of a shack, that has leaking fridges and towels on the floor. Not clean or hygienic. Whether you're going to get a adequate quality drink is hit & miss depending on who is serving. I don't think they are bartenders, more like kids. - --Another hotel guest at breakfast told us she had asked her holiday provider to move her to a different hotel as she had seen mice. - The poolside isn't fit to be called a poolside. The area looks tired and jaded. Sun loungers are broken/mouldy, grass not mown, so you get bit sitting out there. Better off going to the beach. - We were told by the hotel director to leave the hotel on day 3 out of 7 for leaving an honest review of the hotel. Supervisor and staff are bullies and shouldn't work in a customer facing role. Hotel thought they were spiting us, but it worked in our favour as we went to a beautiful 5* hotel. - This establishment is genuinely more of a hostel suited to backpackers and not a hotel as the amenities are basic and the type of clientele in there. - Wifi only works in the lobby If you're looking for a good quality hotel, do not stay at this dump. It needs closing down and the staff going along with it as their sole intention is to provide a miserable, dreary time.

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.
