I stayed at the Shonlan Inn in a studio apartment, on a layover from Trinidad Carnival 2019. The Inn is very easy to get to from Grantley Adams International. PROs:- 1) Relative ease when checking in. 2) Relatively decent customer service from Sonia (or Sonya- don’t quote me on the spelling). 3) The room was clean, neat and tidy upon entry. Brilliant & inviting sunshine poured in from the Bajan sun (once the curtains were parted). 4) Ideal for a quick layover in Christ Church, Barbados en route to your final destination. CONs:- 1) Outmoded appliances:- TV 📺, which was mounted above the only wash sink in the studio. The cords for the TV were all uncovered. This strikes me as a safety hazard. 2) The wash sink was outside of the bathroom. 3) The bed was not the most comfortable, but served it’s purpose. 4) The stringent checkout time of 12 noon does not help the traveler with departures after noon. To stay even an hour beyond checkout is an additional US$2O dollars. Other places that I've stayed at were a bit more flexible with their check-in and out times, and additional charges levied. I will say though, that once you get to explore the property, you will see how lovely it actually is. There are bigger rooms, with more spacious accommodations, and give a greater sense and feel like you are at a hotel. With a few modernization improvements and general changes to the infrastructure, Shonlan Inn could become a shining gem on the Bajan south coast.
