Colony Club

Colony Club is a truly fantastic hotel. From the moment you arrive, you’re made to feel welcome, the team are warm, friendly and incredibly efficient. Check-in was seamless and we were settled into our room within minutes, which set the tone for the whole stay. We had visited before the refurbishment and loved it then, so were really interested to see the changes—and they’ve done a brilliant job. The bathrooms are now absolutely luxurious with lovely toiletries, and the bedrooms have been beautifully updated with thoughtful touches like a Nespresso machine, good quality teas and fine china crockery. The grounds and facilities are beautiful, lush and tropical. There’s plenty of space to relax, with lots of comfortable sunbeds and access to a gorgeous beach. We travelled with teenage boys and the complimentary watersports were a huge hit, as were the paddle courts- definitely a highlight of the trip. The restaurant was good, with a varied menu and live music on several evenings which added to the overall atmosphere. The Cocktails were wonderful. The location in Holetown is also a big plus, with plenty of great restaurants nearby for all budgets. What really makes Colony Club stand out though is the staff. The level of service and genuine warmth from everyone we encountered made the stay extra special. We’ll definitely be back.

Really good ! But….We stayed there 3 years ago for 3 days after a Ritz Carlton Cruise (highly recommended if you are loaded, cruise i mean) had wonderful room with ground floor and wonderful swim up patio with nice furniture on said patio. Returned this past May after it became MarriotBonvoy. Booked and paid months in advance and reserved and paid extra for the ground floor swim up room as i have 70 year old knees and a wobbly walk. Was told at check in the room we reserved (so we were told) and paid extra for was unavailable (?). Had second floor room with nice balcony and beautiful view, As i am glass half full guy and happy to be able to afford nice vacay i accepted it good with good nature. Upon return, all i good from Marriot was stonewalling. They claimed they opened a file and I would be happy with a discount on next trip , but it’s been a month and all i get is…..well stonewalling. Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how was the play? Excellent! Believe all the accolades !!! We will return in April of ‘27,!! Breakfast is included and when a staffer saw me putting some croissants (best i ever had! You can smell them being fresh baked in afternoons ) and fruit to take to my GF, they rushed over and sealed up the plate and provided utensils!! In April/may when we were there we had no problem securing a beachfront chair umbrella setup! We took the water taxi where it stops at all marriot properties. It was worth doing for the beach and other property views , but one fly in ointment was on the last one we were “forced” of the boat and had to go to beach for 45 minutes. We would have rather stayed on boat which was anchored just off shore. Suppose they wanted us to purchase resort priced drinks. !!! All in all, very nice and planning on returning; may not pay extra for desired room though!

Outstanding holiday - we loved Barbados and this was made all the better by the Colony Club. Staff were all amazing with everyone taking the time to stop and talk - definitely worth jointing them in their cocktail evening to chat with the staff leaders and get their recommendations. Property was refurbished last year as part of the acquisition by Marriott and it shows with the decor feeling fresh though traditional. We had a family room with two Queen beds and although the bathroom felt a little tight and the toilet was in the shower room the overall room was a good size with a lovely patio area leading to the pool.

We had bed and breakfast but also ate most lunches and a few dinners there. Food was good but not inexpensive (our overall take for the island to be fair).

We were there in rainy season (it didn’t rain much and when it did it didn’t matter) and the place was very quiet - certainly no fighting over sunbeds either by the pool(s) or beach. Non motorised Watersports included which also included the doughnuts pulled by a boat!

Overall, highly recommended.
