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

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.

We have just finished our 10 night stay at the island inn. |This holiday has been a dream for us and we have been so excited to come to beautiful Barbados. |The island inn did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived we received a lovely greeting from Crystal who also helped us with our suitcases to our room.|Our room was beautiful with a comfortable huge bed and lovely bathroom with a shower. There is plenty of storage space for clothes. We had room number 19 which overlooked the pool and had a lovely patio area at the front. |The food here was the best food we have had while being on holiday. I couldn't fault it and will miss it very much. |There is a mixture of buffet meals and a la carte meals with plenty of choice supplied for both. Plenty of vegetarian options also. |The dining area at the island inn is beautiful and always impeccably clean.|The staff here have been lovely with particular mention of Sherry-Ann and Sharon. These two ladies are so welcoming and smiley and we were always pleased to see them. Sherry-Ann was very helpful in suggesting the best places to visit on the island. They are both amazing at their jobs and I feel a real asset to the island inn. |The hotel is about a minutes walk from pebbles Beach and about a 5 minute walk to Carlisle bay. Both beautiful beaches. Both of these beaches have places to eat, drink and also have restrooms. |Also within 20 minutes walking distance from the island inn is the garrison, George Washington house, Barbados museum. About a half hour walk will take you to bridgetown. There are plenty of public transport options available also. |I don't have a single negative thing to say about our stay at the island inn. We have had the best time and this hotel really is amazing value for money. We will definitely be returning in the future. |Thank you island inn for ensuring we had the best time at your hotel.

We stayed for 10 nights and can only say good things about this lovely hotel. We booked in with ease and were offered a refreshing drink. We stayed in room 4 and although a little dark it had everything we needed. Air con was spot on and the huge bed was so comfortable. The shower room with toilet and sink had a large area to shower without banging elbows etc on the walls. There is a fridge, a kettle plenty of storage space and a safe inside the wardrobe which also held an iron and ironing board, spare pillows and blankets etc. The green monkey's which hang around the hotel are amazing to see, we frequently had them sitting just outside our room. The food is buffet style for breakfast with plenty of options. Bacon, scrambled eggs, beans etc. Fresh fruit, toast, granola and cereals. Yoghurt and pastries. You won't go hungry. Lunch and dinner is alternated between buffet and table service. The food is lovely and the staff are great. A special mention to Sharon who was amazing, she made us feel so welcome. Another special mention goes to Crystal, the world's happiest and best bartender. She made us smile daily and her cocktails were spot on. The pool area is nice, and the pool is cold but refreshing, much needed with that hot sun. The hotel is a 2 minute walk to pebbles beach, $15 us for 2 sunbeds and an umbrella for the day and the beach is lovely, much quieter than Carlisle bay as less tourists from the cruises. Highly recommend the cocktails in a coconut. Its about a 25 to 30 minute walk to Bridgetown or you can grab a ZR (crazy bus) for $3.50 bds each. Check out the Tiki Bar, they have a huge array of cocktails, turn right from the hotel and head towards Hastings. The boardwalk is a lovely way to walk along the beaches. All in all it's a fantastic place to stay and being small you get to chat to other guests which was lovely. I highly recommend a stay here, we will definitely be back.
