The Abidah by Accra Barbados

Christina Greenberg

We are leaving this quaint hotel and it was perfect for adults that simply want to relax. Staff here is AMAZING! Neal is one of the supervisors and I'm pretty convinced there is nothing he doesn't do. When the dining room got crowded- he jumped in. He mixed drinks when an extra set of hands was needed as well. He also was very friendly and made great conversation! Tre is AMAZING behind the bar! He made one of the best mojitos I've ever had and his espresso martini is top notch! Hw even took note a day we went to the beach and he remembered how I take my mojito and had one sent down to me. Christina runs the entire dining area at this time of year with a smile and grace! I'm gluten free and the hotel did not have many options to accommodate that, she went above and beyond especially at tea time. Beach The beach area is STUNNING! I love that it is a natural beach so there are plenty of waves. Morning stretching and yoga was great at 7am! There are always plenty of very friendly locals. We were not once harassed with people trying to sell us items. Pool We loved the pool. It was refreshing even though it was consistently 95 or hotter. This shower to rinse off from the beach does need to be fixed. It is pretty much useless. And the radio that plays music goes in and out, which is disappointing. Rooftop I have NO IDEA why this hotel is not utilizing their roof top area. There should 100% be at least a bar/lounge area up there. We went to Cafe luna two doors down and they did an amazing job. Abidah should be putting a mobile bar up there, some bistro tables, string lights. It is prime real estate with an amazing view and it's just being left empty. Entertainment There is NONE. It didn't really bother us, but i mean even the music system was not reliable by the bar at night. They could easily set up karaoke a few nights a week for their guests. We were also here in the off season so I'm sure this did not help. Room We had Room 302 which is oceanview with two balconies and was gorgeous. Our air went out one night at 3am but maintenance had it fixed in 15 min. We also had an issue with them regulating our shower water temperature. House keeping came daily and we were always impressed. I just wish they would leave more towels. The robes in the room are lovely. Room Service None. We were disappointed we couldn't order a bottle of wine or a fruit platter to the room. This could easily be an additional on that generates money for them. Food We had no issues with the food. Breakfast was my least favorite, but honestly we never went hungry. Lunch was always delicious. Dinners are a different theme every night. Nearby Acitivites When you check in they should give you a map of the local area with things you can walk to and spots not to miss. This would have been amazingly helpful! Overall, if you want a chill relaxing vibe with only adults, you'll be happy here.

This hotel was phenomenal, the service was great from the beginning of our stay even when we we’re leaving. They were there for our every need even when food wasn’t on the menu the chef would always make it when asked. All of the staff were wonderful and when visiting Barbados 🇧🇧 you have to stay here the location is close to oistins and less than a minute walk to Miami Beach 🏝️ you can see the beach clearly from your hotel. Food is amazing and fresh all the time. If you’re planning to visit Barbados 🇧🇧 you have to stay here.

Booked theough Expedia. The open air hallways also allowed the rain to come right in, wetting the carpet. This may explain the funny, humid like smell in the hallways and room. The first day, there were no face towels as the hotel "ran out." By day 4, there were also no more handtowels. The room cleaning thus far has consisted of the bed being made. When we arrived, the room had coffee, tea, and two bottles of water. The linens have not been changed since arrival, which is not a deal breaker, but with sandy floors, it does make its way into the sheets. The hotel does not have any umbrellas for guest use or beach bags as advertised. Guests do have the option of going to the sister hotel if "available" M-F with a limit of 2 times. The staff are friendly and attempt to be helpful.

I recently made reservations at The Abida in celebration of 2 special birthdays and was left unsatisfied due to the manner in which my reservation was handled. I cancelled the reservation approximately 30 mins after I checked in. WhenI I booked I was told that I can use the amenities at Accra Hotel as well. When enquiring about a massage appt I was told that I was not allowed to ride the shuttle with the visitors because I checked in as a local with a staycation and that was not the policy. The room I was assigned to was also downgraded as well! I felt discriminated against and when I enquired about canceling the reservation I was not asked what my queries were and neither was I offered a supervisor or manager to speak to. Upon further speaking to reservations I was told that the information I was given was false. I was promised a call a few days ago and never received a call. I've sent 2 emails with no response. This hotel came highly recommended but my experience there was not what I expected.
