Radisson Aquatica Resort Barbados

Glad I chose this hotel for a last minute trip with my son. Perfect location, 2 minute walk to get public transport, taxi’s have been readily available when I’ve asked at reception. 7 mins walk to a lovely outdoor beachfront basketball court open all hours. No sargassum/seaweed in front of the hotel (Pebbles beach) - it’s perfect and not too crowded, plus you can walk between 5-10 minutes on the beach front to brownes beach, savvy or boatyard. All of the hotel staff are personable, kind, really helpful and give you the warm feeling you need on holiday. My son turned 17 whilst here and they surprised him with a cake, card and non alcoholic drink which really made his day (I completely forgot to get him a birthday cake so they saved me :) ) my son eats the hotel breakfast and loves it! Buffet around 65bds during busy periods and weekends, set menu during the week (low season) approx 30bds for his pancakes, bacon, beans, hot drink. The gym is good, probably the 3rd best hotel gym we’ve used on the island. Haven’t used the pool because the sea is tranquil and perfect, so swim my lengths there. There a roti place, burger and Chinese 2 mins away where you get public transport. Planning to extend for another week or two and seriously considering staying here.

We just loved the position of the hotel. It just has the perfect beach with clear Caribbean calm sea to float in. Yes, some of the decor is dated but is in keeping with the time (1970s). Staff helpful and friendly. Good base to do other things - Bridgetown, restaurants, route taxis. Just floating in the sea was perfect! Oh and Cuz's fish shack is a must for lunch on the beach.

I came here with my family and we had the best experience ever! We were warmly welcomed by staff and everyone was super kind. One of the best parts was when we got to meet the people working at the kitchen and bar. We shared our stories and laughed together every night. They truly made the resort feel like a home!|The food the drinks were also amazing but the friendships we built is what made it truly magical! We will forever cherish the memories we made together.|All in all the quality of everything was perfect and we never had any issues.|Thank you to everyone at Radisson for making this trip a special one.|We will definitely be returning and we cannot wait to come back!!

I do not recommend staying at this hotel. The property is in very poor condition—chipped paint, visible water damage, mildew, stains, and general dirt throughout. The mildew in my room was so overwhelming that I requested to be moved, only to find the same issues in the next room. While waiting at the front desk, I overheard another couple expressing similar complaints about their room. I’ve attached photos so you can judge for yourself whether this is where you’d want to spend thousands of dollars for a stay.

The hotel needs serious upgrading. The room had mold on the ceilings the furniture is dirty and lamps are rusty. No microwave and the WiFi connection was poor. If you are going for a short 3 day trip I recommend if not I don’t recommend. The staff are nice and welcoming and the drinks are good and strong. The menu said happy hour but we paid regular prices during the time of “happy hour “. The breakfast was decent I believe it was $30 for buffet style. I didn’t have dinner at the hotel I went out.

Location! Location! Location!! We are a family of four - 2 adults and 2 kids. I searched a lot for different ocean view options but everything was crazy expensive. Finally we came across Radisson and immediately booked it for around $1000 for 4 nights. Check-In: It was smooth but check your room as we had to ask for a new room due to the blocked view initially; Room: 207 Once changed the ocean view from that room was amazing and private too with a huge tree on the side. Housekeeping: The staff rocks here. They are amazing and do a great job each day. Towels replaced well, the bed made well and refilled shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body lotion in bulk for a family:) Thank you for making our stay comfortable and memorable. Front Desk: Wonderful and caters to needs immediately. Anything we called and ordered was there quickly. Beach access: One of the best beaches in Barbados and they provide umbrellas, beach towels etc. After exploring tons of beaches around Barbados we come to the conclusion that the Radisson beach access is the most beautiful location with great sand and calm waters. On-site parking: Ample so never an issue. Security: Very safe and the security personnel are very hard working and attentive at all times. OVERALL as a family we had the best times during the Spring Break 2025 and would highly recommend it to any families visiting Barbados and looking for a reasonably amazing stay option.

The Resort really needs a total revamp. It's in a good location, so a good revamp will really help it to shine. Employees were nice especially Jenefia at the Reception. She always went above and beyond to take care of whatever issues or question that my wife and I had during our stay there.Stores and filing stations are close by which makes for nice convenience. There's also a little shopping strip that one can buy food and other essentials within a very short walking distance. There's a beach literally at the back of the Resort which is a plus. The Resort will be a really nice place to stay in, if it's properly remodeled.

I recently stayed at the Radisson Aquatica Barbados Resort, and I have to say the location and beach were absolutely breathtaking. Waking up every morning to see the horses bathing in the sea was such a unique and magical experience. The staff were very pleasant and helpful throughout my stay, which I truly appreciated.||That said, I felt the hotel itself needed a lot of work. My room was outdated and overcrowded with old furniture, which made it feel cramped and uncomfortable. The curtains and window treatments were worn out and definitely needed replacing, and the bathroom required major upgrades. The pool was smaller than I expected, and even the exterior of the hotel looked like it needed some attention and freshening up.||Despite these issues, I do believe the resort has incredible potential. With some modern updates and renovations, this could easily be one of the best places to stay in Barbados because the location and natural beauty are second to none.
