The Abidah by Accra Barbados

Rilwan Belo-Osagie

Whilst the hotel is nice in a good location, I found the service pretty poor. First of all when I arrived I was told that the hotel does not have porters to assist with luggage. In addition there were no trolleys. I had to carry my two suitcases and hand luggage by myself to the 4th floor. The hotel has one elevator. So if there is any fault with the elevator one has to walk up the stairs. A hotel of that size must have at least two elevators. Indeed, the elevator did have a fault yesterday and I had to walk up the stairs to the 4th floor. Today, when the room was cleaned the cleaner took the used towels away but forgot to replace them with clean towels. I had to call three times before someone eventually brought a clean set of towels, half an hour later. Lastly, at dinner earlier today, I ask for butter and it never arrived. The ladies in the dining room kept telling me it was coming but it never came. After 20 minutes I gave up. I doubt if I will ever stay in this hotel again.

Where do I begin? This place is absolutely AWESOME! My husband and I are world travellers and this is one of the best resorts we have ever been to. From the moment we checked in, Shawnice made us feel welcome (and she was also very helpful in booking our snorkeling trip). The food has been non-stop over the top; hats off to the amazing chef here, whose creativity and skill in the kitchen was top notch. In the restaurant, all wait staff were friendly and accommodating. A special shout out to two of their younger members, Christina and Kyle: keep doing what you do because you made us very happy. And, last but not least, a BIG star to the Wizard behind the Bar…Andreah. This gentleman understands the importance of stellar customer service. We appreciate you man. Management at the Abbidah should also be acknowledged because, clearly, they have nurtured a caring responsive staff/team. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 😊

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.

A pretty small hotel with a pretty small pool, however as the hotel was not full there was enough sun beds to go round. The staff were very friendly and helpful . Would I recommend it? Absolutely.
