We went for 3 days and stayed 10. Having stayed at two other Elegant Hotels firstly the saddly gone Coconut Creek followed by 4 stays at Tamarind Cove there is no doubt that The House for us is the best. It is laid back but at the same time the staff are on the ball to ensure you get what... More

Although we have visited Barbados three times previously, this was our first stay at The House. We selected it based on previous generally excellent reviews on Tripadvisor, the great beach location, the proximity to Daphnes (our favourite restaurant in Barbados) and the general friendly welcome and chilled-out vibe that we felt when we were shown around the hotel on a...

I stayed here in September 2010 with my boyfriend. This place is amazing. Not only is it completely peaceful and serene but the room and view were better than you could ever wish for. We had a one bedroom suite which was huge and overlooked the ocean. The pool is small but never crowded and the loungers on the beach... More

My wife and I spent a week at The House earlier this month (Jan 2012). It was our first trip to the Carribean, let alone Barbados, so we were relieved that our hours of research paid off. The location, staff/Ambassadors, ambience, beach, facilities, food, pampering, etc were all spot on, and the choice of restaurants on Barbados was exceptional. In... More

We discovered this hotel 8 years ago whilst on our honeymoon - many a day we would walk past on the beach and say how inviting it looked............. In 2009 we returned to Barbados for our anniversay and with our honeymoon hotel having been turned into apartments we chose The House for our celebrations. We were blown away with everything... More

I went in October to The House for the first time - However I have been going to Barbados for 45 years so know what is possible and what not. Things started fairly badly and the relationship took some time to get back to an even kilter. The staff (ambasadors) were GREAT. The Management (with exception of Marco who simply... More

We stayed at The House on honeymoon last year and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, booking again we weren't sure we would enjoy it as much. We loved it, even more. We also took my parents along for the experience and they had their best holiday ever. The same staff were there working very hard to make sure we had everything... More

If you are thinking of going to Barbados, stay at The House. The location, the staff, the hotel itself and even the other guestsvare first class. Every day starts with a beautiful champagne breakfast and we usually enjoyed the chapagne from the comfort of our beach beds, all of 10 metres away from the dinning area. The staff really are...

We have holidayed in Barbados for several years, but this was our first visit to The House. What a gem and a real contrast to the other 4/5* hotels in Barbados. From the moment we arrived, we felt totally relaxed as the staff attended to our every need, , including persuading the chef at Daphnes Italian Restaurant to prepare us... More

My wife and I decided to spend a few days leading up to New Years at "The House" and had a wonderful time. As we entered this intimate, adults only, tranquil property you first see a wide lobby/lounge area with all-white chairs and music piped throughout the lobby (reminds me a bit of the entrance to the Delano hotel, Miami)....
