Vedanta Resort Barbados

Pros: 1. Some of the staff was nice. 2. Short 5min walk from the beach. The hotel has some real problems. Stayed in “one of the better rooms”, but Cons: 1. There was a hole in the wall by the far wall close to the floor (about 4in wide) that was just stuffed with foam. No actual patchwork or fix. 2. The ceiling is cracking in the corner of the bathroom that looks like it it could fall in. 3. The tops of the windows do not close so you can hear any noise happening outside (other guests, car horns, music, etc.) and you will constantly smell cigarette smoke from people smoking outside. 4. The door did not shut properly so there were some cracks to the outside additionally it did not lock properly so there is an old bolt lock at the top that barely worked. 5. No hot water. 6. TV in the one room did not work. 7. Beds were lumpy and the pillows are paper thin. 8. Kitchen was recently remodeled but even some of the cabinets were installed crooked and wouldn’t open. We ended up leaving a day early as sleep was tough and overall the room was bad.

It was a really good experience

Beaut staff, great location, comfortable and within walking distance of supermarkets, buses, taxis and the beach

Amazing hospitality with nice and beautiful garden, closed to beach

Everything was fine and as expected.

We booked for 7 nights but only stayed for 5 due to the loud and inconsiderate guests holding parties at 1am and 2am outside our ground floor bedroom and waking us up. The hotel security was inconspicuous by its absence. The guests ignored the No Smoking areas making our outside space unusable. The room was badly in need of renovation and the bed was soft and uncomfortable. On the plus side the location is good - next to beaches, shops and restaurants.
