This is a typical all inclusive where it’s not ALL, but PART, where you get the bottom shelf drinks, but have to pay for anything decent. Our room was in need of a refurb but very comfortable, however having paid extra for a suite, we were extremely close to the restaurants extractor fans, so we had constant noise and smell! However the food was good although not many choices, and the staff were excellent. A special thanks to Agnes, Kriezy and Dennis who made our stay memorable.

We are actually at this amazing little gem as I write from my sunbed overlooking the beautiful sea! We were really worried before due to some very negative reviews but I wanted to write this to say how happy we are we chose here! There are sunbeds a plenty and the wonderful staff cannot do enough for you. Continually coming around the pool area to ask if you want anything, drinks are a plenty and delicious , food is great! It is a little dated hence the refurb happening, but rooms are very spacious and clean. Nothing is to much for them, I even asked for extra lamps in my room and they arrived in minutes! I loved the no reception concept, so no queuing, you just ask someone whatever you want and they make it happen! If you want a true Caribbean, totally chilled out experience I recommend here, if you want a stuffy, action packed noisy experience then not for you! They even secretly set up a birthday breakfast with balloons for my husbands birthday as we were a ground floor terrace. For us it’s been perfect and central to all the other restaurants like The Cliff, Sandy land etc we also booked! Thank you The House for your wonderful hospitality xxxxx

This was our first visit to Barbados and we were not disappointed. We were a family group, travelling with our 2 sons and their partners. Some negative reviews about The House were of concern before our arrival but our stay was truly wonderful and we experienced first rate service from ambassadors and all the staff. We enjoyed very comfortable and spacious suites with sea views, plenty of sun beds - no need for a 6am start to secure one!, good food, especially the fish and seafood, with staff noting one person was gluten free (fairly well catered for) another was vegetarian’baby’ pescatarian. There was champagne at breakfast (and any other time of the day as well) and super bar staff who delighted us with cocktails, soft drinks and water on demand. The rum punch was a particular favourite for all of us. We did eat out a number of times but enjoyed lunch (the grill lunches were notably delicious) and dinner at the hotel on quite a few occasions. We did not experience the other sister hotels via the water taxi service, that’s for next time! The beach was a matter of steps away with a variety of water sports readily available, with only a few incurring an additional charge eg jet skis and boat trips. The snorkelling over the rocks to the right of the beach at the hotel was excellent. This hotel does not have the glitz of a modern hotel but it is still a beautiful and restful place to stay. It has rustic charm, stunning views and a personal service that is so important for the perfect holiday. Upcoming renovations can only enhance what is already a small but well established jewel on the west coast. We will be back!

The checkin experience is smooth you are greeted by staff and given a drink of choice. Rachel was so helpful during the checkin process very organized and ready for every question I had. The staff were all friendly, offering knowledge of nearby restaurants and local fun hangouts. Patrica at the egg station was amazing and is a total gem to the property. Very warm and inviting I would come back just for her and the cocktails of course. Our jet leg massage was invigorating and refreshing. Ria and Shakira have blessed hands with the most gentle touch and welcoming spirits. My fave meal was probably lunch they had a grill with chicken lobster salmon shrimp and steak I wish it was for dinner as well. The cocktails were all amazing the green flash and after dark were my faves. It was a nice vacay and one I would do again

We have just enjoyed a most enjoyable week at the House. As other reviewers have said the hotel does need some updating which we understand is imminent. However this didn’t detract from our enjoyment. Room very clean and comfortable. Food excellent in hotel restaurant and Positano next door. What makes this hotel special is the incredible staff throughout the hotel. Absolutely nothing seems to be too much trouble. Special mention of Nadia always professional and helpful, Wade cocktails incredible and nothing too much trouble, Dennis the singing and skilful mixologist, Andrew always smiling and prepared to go that extra mile, Sophia who never pauses and always makes sure restaurant guests are satisfied, Pat (the egg lady at breakfast) with top tips for where to go and Kobia full of smiles and always keen to help. We really hope when the hotel closes these staff members are retained by Marriott as they are the heart of this place.

Staff lovely , breakfast average , all other food very poor standard . The hotel is over priced . They have charged our credit card for pick up and drop off at airport and we got our own taxi !No one getting back to us for a refund . E-mailed the Marriott bonvoy to complain and The House , absolutely nothing, no one got back to us , ignored ! Would never recommend the hotel to anyone .

My spouse and I spent several nights in this beautiful, all inclusive resort. The resort is much smaller than I anticipated, but it was amazing. To start, we were upgraded to a beautiful large suite with two different balconies overlooking the ocean. While the rooms are a bit outdated, they were extremely comfortable. The food at the hotel was terrific, and we enjoyed live music during dinner. The snorkeling from the beach was the best I have ever experienced, and we have stayed at hotels throughout the Caribbean. Wade, the bartender was awesome, and he took great care of us while at the pool. The complimentary massage was wonderful. The gym definitely needs some work, but I suspect very few people visit it. In short, this property was amazing, the beach was beautiful, the staff were so gracious and helpful, and we plan to return.

This hotel is advertised as "All Inclusive". It is not! You can have gin as long as it's Gordons. Other brands are chargeable. The wine and food selection is awful, with the exception of breakfast. Motorised water sports are limited to 15 min.

Sadly has had its day and now awful. Main areas need updating and food is very poor. Staff are helpful and friendly but let down by the current condition. The situation is still very good so the owner needs to spend some money and get a chef! Spend some money and get a chef!
