Colony Club, a Luxury Collection Resort, Barbados

Colony Club is a wonderful hotel with an absolutely perfect location right by the sea 🌊. The ocean is beautiful, calm, and just steps away, creating a truly relaxing island atmosphere. The location is ideal — convenient, scenic, and perfect for enjoying everything Barbados has to offer. The service is excellent: attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. The staff makes you feel welcome and well cared for from the moment you arrive. A great place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of Barbados in comfort and style. 5 stars without hesitation. Highly recommended.

We absolutely loved our stay at Colony Club. This is a quiet, clean, and quaint boutique hotel perfect if you’re looking for a low-key, relaxing experience rather than a busy resort vibe. The staff were genuinely warm and friendly, and the service throughout our stay was excellent. There are loungers everywhere with plenty of great shade options, so it never felt crowded or competitive by the pool or beach. The recently renovated rooms were outstanding easily on par with a true 5-star resort in terms of comfort and finish. Breakfast was good, though the space can feel a bit cramped during peak times, which was a minor trade-off given everything else the property does so well. If you’re looking for a peaceful, understated, and beautifully maintained hotel, this is a fantastic option. And for what it’s worth my wife is usually the first to find something to complain about, and she was extremely pleased. That says it all. We would absolutely return.

We had a great time Linda Arlene in the dining area was great! Pools were clean. Ocean was rough but beautiful. Staff were very nice . Food was good Beds were comfortable and the sheets were also nice . The only thing I would address is that the staff run too fast with the coffee pots and food , I almost got hit with coffee They work very hard. The music was great

Beautiful resort and beach. Lots of issues that downgrade my experience with this resort. 1) did not get the room reserved and paid for which was a 2 bed ocean view so they downgraded me to a 2 bed garden view at the back of the resort. Trying to get a rebate on fees paid 2) service is awful. Staff are very friendly but trying to get a meal or a drink in a timely fashion is frustrating and does not happen. Even asking for water refill does not happen. I was first to order in the evening meal and I waited more than an hour 3) getting food cooked to order does not happen. And if you send it back, it does not come cooked as requested 4) no price consistency. I ordered the same alcoholic beverage everyday and it was a different price everyday. 5) people reserve chairs on the beach with towels before 7 am and do not arrive to sit in them until hours later, sometimes afternoon. Some people reserve 2 chairs, one in the sun and one in the shade for themselves. Nobody does anything to stop this and therefore chairs on the beach are hard to get unless you get up and down there before 7 and do the same thing. Far from ideal 6) only one place to eat and after awhile the food gets tiresome especially if you are unable to eat seafood. Often there were no chicken or beef options.

We just completed a 2-night stay at the Colony Club, a Marriot Luxury Collection property, before a Ritz Carlton cruise departing out of Barbados. I am debating if this is a really good 3.5-star property or a bad 4-star property.|The Good|• Rooms - The rooms are recently renovated and quite nice and, for the most part, well thought out. We had a pool room and could go down a set of stairs and go into a pool right out our back door. Bedding was first class even the pillows were really good. Big shower and bathroom.|• Check In and bell service – Both excellent.|• People – The staff was friendly but not very efficient.|• Location-Very easy to go to Holetown with many good restaurants (we really enjoyed Nisshi).|The Not So Good|• Beach/Pool Service – It is nonexistent. Typically, when we are staying at nicer beach resorts, they set up your chairs with towels when you arrive. Not at all the case here. We got to the beach, found chairs and then went to find towels. When we found them, we got the last 2 to put on our chairs and no more were added until much later in the day. Later, in the day guests were unstacking and moving their own beach chairs to where space was available as staff looked on. At a minimum, have enough beach/pool towels.||No beach food and beverage service seemed to exist. They did one time in the five hours we were on the beach bring around frozen grapes which was nice, but there did not appear to be any beach or food service. You can go up to the bar and get your own drinks and take them back to your chairs (very 3 star).||• Lunch at the restaurant beside the beach – It was impressively disorganized. There seemed to be no order as to who was responsible for which tables. It took 15 minutes to get drinks after we were seated. My husband actually went to the bar to get another drink because it took so long to get the first and no one seemed to notice our glasses were empty. When he got the bill, they charged us for the drinks he got and paid for at the bar since they were on the table. They removed the charge but this was typical of the experience. In all fairness, the food was pretty good. |The breakfast buffet was pretty good. But again, inattentive service and all they had to do was fill our water glasses.||Staff would benefit from some extensive training and some efficient processes put in place.||My husband and I each have Ambassador status with Marriott and are very loyal to the brand. However, this hotel is supposed to be the nicest Marriott property on the island and it is lacking anything that feels like a luxury feel from a service perspective. Next time we would choose a different hotel brand for Barbados. The Coral Reef Club next door looked very much up to par.

Beautiful resort on a stunning beach. However there are issues. Food is good but Ordered my meal at 6:30 and waited more than an hour despite being only 1 of 2 tables occupied at time of order. Getting your food cooked to order probably not going to happen even if you send it back. Limited options for meals as only one restaurant. Do not expect to get your room category as reserved. Reserved a 2 bed ocean view room. Got a one bed ocean view which was not suitable. After 4-5 hours moved to a 2 bed garden view room at the back of the resort. Room is lovely but not what I reserved. There is no enforcement of no chair reservations. By 7:30 am all chairs on the beach have towels on them but no people. Many do not get people until 12 and some people reserve oceanfront chairs and shade chairs so they have both options. No one does anything about this. Lots of pool towels. Majority of staff are lovely. No one explains inclusions or exclusions and there is no consistency. So a very mixed experience not sure if I would come back.

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous. Marriott has completely renovated it and worthy to be called luxurious. The most outstanding part of this hotel is the staff. Each and everyone of the staff was incredibly accommodating to our every need and want. Heather, Linda Monica Nicole Bryan Wendell Michael Kianna Mathew Jamal Carole all gave excellent service. The food is incredible the head chef Wayne makes the most amazing dishes and each and every one of his dishes was excellent. The beach is beautiful but a little rocky . The food in the restaurant is expensive but lunch prices are more reason able than dinner and the food is excellent. It was N incredible experience and I can’t wait to return.

Hotel has a elegant, quiet, relaxed, feel to it. I would recommend getting an upgraded room by the pool. You can sit outside and kind of have a private pool and patio area which is really nice. The alcoholic drinks are rather chizy and expensive. the food is pretty good but wouldn’t compare with a great five star restaurant.
