"This is not a beachfront hotel—it lies across the busy road—yet it compensates by offering large, moderately priced (for Barbados) all-suite accommodations and a big pool. "

Road noise is an issue in some accommodations closest to the road (for example, Carambola), but the entire property abuts the street, so occasional traffic can be hard to avoid.

"A remarkable, luxury property...of tropical gardens. All rooms and suites have private balconies or patios. There are four freshwater swimming lagoons."

"The signature hotel of five Elegant Hotel properties on Barbados is certainly elegant, but with a quiet, friendly, understated style primarily targeted to adults."

"The Colony Club is an upmarket, civilised and unflashy hotel by an excellent west-coast beach. And though rates are high, lots of "extras" are included."

"On three lushly landscaped hectares, 13 km north of Bridgetown, one km north of Holetown...this property ranks with the Tamarind as the best value offering of Elegant Hotels of Barbados."

Management would be wise to cater more readily to special requests; these rates are too pricey not to.
