Just spent just over a week at this hotel it was fantastic. We had a first floor room with fantastic views out over the sea. The room was spotless and full of all the things you'd expect in a 5* hotel including ironing board & iron and drink making facilities. The turndown service also includes bottles of water and connection... More

This was our first visit to the beautiful island of Barbados and I chose this hotel for the location, all rooms have fabulous sea views and the good reviews it has received on Trip Advisor. Friends of ours have stayed at Sandy Lane several times and love it but say recently it is overrun by loud Russians, which put us... More

This is our fourth holiday in Barbados in four years but only our first at Royal Pavilion (previously at Coral Reef once and Sandy Lane twice). A quick review would be to say it's better than Coral Reef but not as good as Sandy Lane. But in a bit more detail....It doesn't have the attention to detail that SL has... More

Stayed 2 nights here after a cruise and I have to say in terms of location and rooms this hotel can't be beaten. We checked in early and were shown straight to our 2nd floor room with fabulous views over the pretty beach and ocean. The rooms are expertly laid out and have everything you need. We walked along the... More

Location just 5 mins from Holetown by taxi or bus (do try the local boogie bus only 2 bajan dollar it's fun and an experience). Rooms: We... More

We celebrated our 30th anniversary at the Royal Pavilion during May of 2011. We had made some specific requests relating to our celebration that were missed by select members of the staff. That first evening I left a message for the General Manager Wayne Kafcsak about my disappointment with what had not been arranged to my satisfaction. At breakfast the... More

The hotel is set right on the beach side about and our room had a terrace leading straight on to the sand. The suite was well furnished and with a large comfortable bed, sofa and chairs, and patio furniture on the deck. Security is an issue on the ground floor level and we were advised not to sleep with the... More

This is a very special property. We loved our one-week stay because the staff, the other guests and the grounds were all delightful and special, combining to create a very intimate and enjoyable vacation. Our room was very clean, luxurious and beautiful, with a comfortable bed and the sounds of the sea crashing outside our second floor veranda. While the... More

I highly recommend the Fairmont Royal Pavilion to American vacationers or anyone who wants to have a very pleasant and relaxing vacation experience. The customer service is slower than in the US, but remember, your on vacation. If you are a person that wants to truly relax and unwind this is the place for you. Beautiful beaches, beach bars, friendly... More
