Lovely location, charming, clean and comfortable suites, Friendly and courteous staff. Nice bar area and great service. But sadly the food and the presentation was very poor. If I had been staying any more than two days I would have had to dine out!! Even the wedding we were kindly asked to join had dull catering. Upgrade the chef(??) and... More

This was my first stay at Island Inn after numerous visits to Barbados. First impressions on arrival of the hotel was - "Oh wow..I couldn't have paid the right price - This hotel looks like it should cost me more". I arrived early for check-in, the staff were very accommodating and quickly ushered me to place my luggage in a... More

My sister and I spent 2 weeks (April 6-19,2013 ) At the Island Inn. We found the staff to be most friendly and helpful. All neccessities were close at hand. Reservations for taxis or shuttles were quickly made. A short walk to a great beach-no steps. The food was delicious and well prepared.If there was something else you wanted you... More

Our first night was spent in a very noisy room because of an air on defect. The manager (Tora/Thora, a lovely lady) had the repair man out the following day and when the problem persisted she got him out again - 9pm on a Saturday evening. From then on our two week stay was almost perfection. Food is excellent, service... More

To be fair for what we thought was perfection until our last evening , I will concentrate on the positives and leave my proviso until the end. This was a perfect holiday for 12 of the 13 nights we stayed a the Island Inn. The food was amazing and unusual in that it was a waitress served ' all inclusive... More

There has been a lot of controversy over this hotel in recent reviews. We would just like to say that as current guests of this hotel we agree with all the comments made by careline. Future potential guests should not be put off by spurious and over exaggerated reviews. If you enjoy quiet relaxing holidays then this is the hotel... More

We are currently staying at the Island Inn....unfortunately. We chose this hotel after much research and thought it would attract like minded individuals looking for a relaxing holiday like ourselves. Our first 3 days pretty much met (or thereabouts) our expectations, then we were innundated by a large noisy wedding party and their numbers are growing by the day. I... More

We stayed here for five nights in a Junior Suite. The room was lovely, although the balcony was a tad too public, being right next to the swimming pool lounges, so that people using them were virtually sitting with us! However, two things spoiled our experience of this otherwise delightful small hotel. The food was desperately overcooked. Everything was burnt... More
