Island Inn Hotel

We choose the island for a 2 night pre cruise stop. We got a great deal as we booked really early. |This hotel is in a good location walking distance to all the beach clubs on Carlisle bay and a 30 minute walk into Bridgetown. A very intimate and small hotel. Staff doing multiple jobs, you’ll know everyone in 2 days! |There is also a beach 2 mins walk around the corner but I would say not quite as nice as Carlisle bay. |The rooms are a little dated but the air con was good and the bed comfortable. Fridge, safe, fan, kettle are all present. |The pool area is not very inviting and we didn’t use it opting for the beach club 20 mins away. |The breakfast is buffet and lunch and evening meals are served to you which I liked although choice is minimal. I hate getting up and down for my meals! |Pretty area for your drinks before the meal. |Some staff are super friendly and helpful Angela on reception and Elsie made us laugh. |This is a low budget all inclusive hotel. |You pays your money and make your choice.|This is a 3/4 score for me.

I cannot speak highly enough of the welcome I received and the friendliness of all the staff. The hotel was small and personal. Well maintained daily and the rooms were immaculately kept on a daily basis. The food was excellent, great choice, well presented and plenty of choice. Location was good for walking to Pebbles & Carlisle Beach, public transport is at the end of the street. As a solo traveller I felt well looked after and very safe. I will definitely be going back

This was our third stay at this hotel and we were really looking forward to it. However we were greeted with a miserable rude receptionist. We both smiled, said hello and introduced ourselves. Not even a hello just waved to sit down. Informed us that the room wasn't ready and to get yourself a drink at the bar. We went to the room and it was ready so we took the suitcases to the room. Not a good start to the holiday.|The majority of the staff are friendly however when certain rude, non hospitable staff are on duty there is a distinct unfriendly atmosphere. If I was managing them they would be put on non performance for their attitude. A clue for them is they work in hospitality therefore should be hospitable to their guests. |However Terry as ever is a fantastic barman, hospitable and great to chat to. Sadly it depends what side of the bed Trey got out of to the mood he will be in behind the bar. The bar stocks premium spirits and Terry makes fabulous cocktails. |Food wise OK but not enough vegetables with the main course at dinner. Plus the portion size has reduced compared to our last visit. Not good for a man with a healthy appetite. Looked forward to the buffet/bbq when there was plenty of salad and vegetables. |Rooms are spacious, plenty of storage space but a little dated. Extremely comfortable bed. Could do with better lighting and hot water was an issue. Cleaned daily.|The swimming pool requires work, mosaic tiles missing around the side of the pool.|Despite some of my negative comments regarding the staff I still like the hotel, its layout and size. It is well situated short walk to Pebbles beach, Carlisle Bay and about a 20 minute walk into Bridgetown.

A little gem near pebbles beach - 30 second walk and 5 mins from the garrison, 30 mins bridgetown. Only 24 rooms , which makes it have that homely feel All the staff are fab and always helpful and happy. Mix of buffet and menu nights for dinner with something for everyone. Shout out to bar staff- Tre , Terry and especially Crystal who make you feel part of the family. Def recommend and will return

Well …. What a lovely little gem! With only few rooms everyone gets to know each other, and we made friends for life! 🥰 The food is outstanding and Sherry-Ann our regular waitress couldn’t do enough for us ❤️ always ensuring the rum and raisin ice cream was on the menu! 🤣 The hotel is generally quiet which was lovely and the evening entertainment was on only a few times during our stay, but was quality! The staff in this hotel were all lovely, however the bar staff were missing on a few occasions 🤣 the mosquitoes however were not ! OMG we were eaten alive 🤣 our room was comfortable and kept clean daily, we were by the pool and felt like we had a private pool most of the time, we were also only a couple of minutes from the beach 😊 All in all a lovely trip and would definitely recommend this place and the island, although would have to sort the mosquitoes! 🤣 xx

Lovely hotel with friendly staff.. although some of them could do with smiling more! Big compliments to the chef, kitchen staff and waitresses... the food was delicious and varied daily. Great location.. only 2 mins walk from Pebbles Beach. Rooms are a good size.. bathroom could do with an update.

We stayed here for 11 nights from 3 to 14 Sept 25. Lovely boutique hotel close to a beach. Staff were welcoming and most were friendly. Crystal was brilliant! Such a bubbly personality (manager qualities for sure!) Shame she went on holiday two days into our stay. Terry and Mani at the bar were great, Trey not so whom we found a bit sulky and lazy. Waiting staff were professional and attentive. Food was good. Lots of variety. Fish and meat tended to be a bit overcooked most days though. Room location was fabulous. We upgraded to a superior garden view. The only grievances we had was that our safe wasn't working and the shower drain was blocking up. We reported both issues on the first day. The shower got so bad we had to use all our towels to mop up the overflow. It went from taking 20 mins (first day) to drain after one shower to 3 hrs (9th day). It was fixed on the 9th day, probably reported by the cleaning staff. Loved the daily monkey mayhem! And I was so chuffed to find lots of Tetrio Sphinx caterpillars which was priority for me! Took 20 mins to walk into Bridgetown. Lots going on it town. We went to a cricket match one evening (T20). Atmosphere was insane lol! I don't think we will be going back to Barbados (other islands to visit), but if we did we would definitely stay here again. NB. The resort is 95% occupied by retired couples. We are in our 40s but enjoyed socialising with the other guests and have made friends with one couple for life.

Part 1 This place is a little slice of heaven. So much so that I couldn’t think of any other place I would rather be, on my hard earned vacation. The staff are real people with cool personalities that actually make your holiday.! Emerge yourself in a real Barbados experience and you will not be disappointed we are arriving for our second visit tomorrow and can’t wait to update our experience
