Hotels Near Sandy Lane Beach in Holetown

We booked the Hilton Resort as it was ranked highly, however it was not to our expectations. Firstly I will start off by giving full credit to the hardworking staff who worked very hard with the limited resources they have and tried their very best to make the stay comfortable for customers. The staff at the entrance meeting / greeting, reception area, restaurants, pool area and house keeping service staff deserve full credit. I had to rate the stay as 2 out of 5 simply due to the management decisions. We found the following issues during our stay, as listed below: 1) We understand that nature produces sea ****s, and there is no control of sea ****s gathering on the beach perimeter with the waves. However, there was no process or maintenance in place to run a tractor every morning to gather the sea ****s and litter from the sand on a daily basis. You find other hotels in the Carribbean (my recent trip to St Lucia) where hotels maintain their beach area early hours in the morning ready for customers. This is supposed to be Hilton (a worldwide known brand). The beach standard was the biggest disappointment for us. 2) No variety of food on the menu. Some of the restaurants were closed due to the season. We actually got bored with the menu as it was the same things to eat and in my opinion very expensive. We saw other customers ordering take away from external restaurants, which was very surprising, maybe they felt the same. We also explored the option and found that more variety is available externally and the price of food is significantly less than what your hotel offers. We actually ordered pizza and snacks externally with delivery service and it worked out to be an excellent deal. 3) There was 3 of us (2 adults and 1 infant) and we were only offered 3 very small bottles of water to last us a day. We then requested for 6 large bottles of water and we were charged a rate of around 11 BBD each which equates to around £4.73, so in total we spent £28.38 on water!!! Water is a necessity of life and we were charged a silly amount, not forgetting the bottles we purchased during dinner. Sounds embarrassing but we should have purchased a multi pack of water bottles from Lidl or Tesco in the UK which would have cost us less than £10 and bought that with us in our check-in luggage. 4) There is something wrong with the lifts. There are a total of 4 lifts, and only 2 appear to work. It takes ages to wait for a lift. Again something small as this can become frustrating if you need to use the lift a few times a day. 5) The room Fridge door did not close properly as the gasket seemed to be worn. 6) No kettle in the room. We needed to boil some hot water. This is basic equipment expected in a hotel room. 7) No microwave available to heat food. If the hotel cannot provide a microwave in each room, then maybe the cost effective to install a couple of microwaves in the same room you offer self service ice to customers. Microwave is an important piece of equ

Just got back from a cruise from Barbados around Southern Caribbean but stayed at the Adula for a couple of days beforehand. I thought it was a lovely little hotel very clean and staff really helpful. Not to mention Shakers Restaurant like 5 minutes walk away. The food at Shakers was really nice and the Long Island Ice Teas even better. My friend and I shared a quaint self catering Bungalow which had a lovely kitchenette and shower room. The pool was small but very clean and well maintained I can't recommend this hotel enough and I am a very fussy costumer, I have high standards and expect a good service when I pay for it, well done Adula you made my stay very nice. On a final note there are also some great lounge bars also 10 minutes walk away on the strip at the end of the road definitely worth a visit also.

The hotel service was fair. Our first day entering the lobby the floor was very dirty and the seatings were dirty and looked worn out. The complimentary breakfast was good. Kitchen staff was fair also. One great thing about this hotel are the rooms are relatively huge and very modern. Another great thing about this hotel is it is right in the middle Of everything. Most restaurants are walking distance from the hotel. And there is a taxi stand right in front the hotel; so if you need to move about the island, transport is right at your door steep. I would give the overall experience a 3.8 star.

My stay at Worthing Court was a pleasant one with friendly and welcoming staff, nice maintained grounds and gardens...the whole property seemed to be in good upkeep from the pool to the rooms even when things may seemed a bit quiet Though the property is closed to the main road in Worthing on the south coast, it is still pretty quiet...but if you're a light sleeper or bothered by vehicular traffic..request a room further in or at the back, I'm not particularly bothered by it as I like seeing people or traffic go by plus you get the ocean views from the front My room was nice and spacious with all the amenities of home like the kitchenette with a nice fridge, complimentary waters and coffee/tea station a plus, a patio/balcony to relax as I've observed all rooms comes with...the property is in close proximity to beaches, shops/market, 24 hours petrol station, restaurants/bars, nightlife and public transport. My frustrations...though minimal was the low water pressure in the shower and basic cable channels for some prime time TV watching, although there's Netflix I'll definitely stay here again and would recommend to future travelers.

The hotel is located on st Lawrence gap which has a few clubs and restaurants. It can get quite noisy at night. If you opt for the sea view apartment you are less likely to hear the club on the opposite side of the road. The room itself is great, there is a kitchen where you can cook your breakfast and make tea, a working tap, fridge, freezer, kettle, microwave. The balcony and the view is lovely. Woke up each morning looking out onto the blue water and blue skies! I went with my friend and so we had a double bed each which is very comfortable. The shower is a bit slow with water but if you run it for 3-4 minutes the water will get warm. We didn’t opt for the breakfast so cannot comment on what the food is like. Overall positive, my only complaint is beware when ordering taxi they quote in US dollars and not Barbadian dollars. The female receptionist misled me despite me asking her twice is the price quoted Barbadian dollar and she said yes. Then when we finished the taxi ride we were told it was in US dollar and not Barbadian dollars. I think that is a fundamental error by the receptionist and cost me unnecessarily. For that the hotel did not deserve a 5 star. In terms of location it is good but expect noise as you are directly opposite a nightclub called halo that is very noisy at the weekends especially the dj and his microphone shouting into it. The island is very small so everything is not far. It is worth hiring a car to get around the island otherwise the taxi fare will be expensive. A taxi fare from at Lawrence gap to the north of the island would cost you 120 Barbadian dollars one way. The hotel has a nice outdoor swimming pool and private chill out area and a restaurant to order drinks. Would I stay here again? Yes I think i would stay here again.

We were in a Deluxe Studio for the last week in March. We booked a travel package with Air Canada. Almost all our meals were at Calabash which were always excellent, especially the fish dinners; as well as the Indian meals which were served on Saturday. We enjoyed the beautiful ocean view each morning. We also had two meals at Deia Beach Restaurant which is beside Bougainvillea. The pizza was excellent. A cab to Bridgetown one way was $30.00. (US Dollars) I was surprised at the price but enjoyed the trip both ways seeing the sights on the way. Entertainment was held each night ending usually around 10:30-11:00 pm. A steel drum performer played for most of the Saturday afternoon. Staff were exceptionally friendly and did a great job. We booked a full day (7 hrs) excursion of the island on the Friday through Viator which was excellent. We went over to St Lawrence Gap on Saturday around noon and managed to have a wonderful flying fish sandwich with Banks Beer for lunch. It is an easy walk down the beach to Dover Beach and then out to the road beside the hotel. I hope that we can return again soon.
