The room was clean, the tables and desk could have been cleaner. A little bleach on a rag would have renoved the cup rings. The staff was great and friendly. Breakfast was ok, I like a cup of tea during the night, or early morning and there were no tea bags, woul love some in the room. Bathroom needs upgrading,as some folks are older, we need hand rails in the bathtub.Also because the toilet seats are so low, we could use hand rails for extra support when getting up. The hotel 🏨 was nice, i actually liked it

The reality falls far below expectations. The rooms look nothing like the reference images; the bathroom was completely grimy, and overall cleanliness was very poor. There were construction materials scattered throughout the hallways, and we had to request housekeeping because they never came on their own. The staff could greatly improve their customer service. It’s not just about providing the required information, but doing so with a positive attitude and willingness to help. With the exception of the woman who assisted us in arranging training packages, the rest of the staff was generally apathetic and not very willing to provide the information we needed. Honestly, I would not recommend this hotel.

Restaurant hours are posted as 8/10pm close time. Closes at 3. Not sure which beach they claim, but to access the beach you must walk through a hole in a fence across the street. Security guard was unhinged and unprofessional. That’s not safe. Bathroom smells. Placed in the wrong room. Breakfast not appealing. Can’t have a guest over. Stay elsewhere.

The hotel is a bit old and has not been regularly maintained. The rooms are run down and bare. The best feature is a beautiful and quiet sandy beach just across the street. There are not too many dining options around (Oistins Fish Market on Fridays is great). The very friendly and helpful staff makes the experience a bit more palatable.

The room was very spacious, and the beach is just across the street from the property. Breakfast is good, but resturant does not operate for lunch or dinner. There are a few dining options within walking distance. Overall stay was good, but age is a visible on the property.

When we arrived the room that was booked was not available. We accepted the room given and was told that the next day our room will be ready. The room given was room 112 which was 1 king bed. The room, the bed was 2 twin beds joint together to make a king bed. It was uncomfortable and created discomfort in our sleep the 1st night. Imagine trying to sleep near to your wife or husband and the bed is split in the middle. The toilet had big yellow stains in bowl. Rain fell, so the tiles were wet and slippery.There was no caution signs to alert guests to be careful. On the 2nd day coming back to the hotel after a fun filled day on the island, upon arrival we were told that our new room is not available and there aren’t any rooms available. We paid for a deluxe king room with balcony and a pool view. Several calls was made by the front desk clerk to what were we’re assuming to be management to resolve this issue. Finally, the room magically became available. At this point frustrated and exhausted we proceeded to make a payment. Our payment kept declining. Called our bank there was no block, hold or even insufficient funds on our account so we’re confused as to why the machine is not accepting our card. The clerk’s tone was very condescending and rude. Turns out Sunbay does not accept discover cards. Will never return to Sunbay. There was also no bottled waters in the room, no restaurants, no bars available to purchase food nor drinks on the compound.

Room was in the back of the hotel. No light. Felt ghostly not many visitors at property. Pool needs maintenance. Because we were only guest there at time felt awkward servers kept staring.. very distant to night life. It’s in a hole. We walked like 20 mins trying to get to oistins felt longer because we were unfamiliar. Front desk lady nice but hotel run down

Worth the try

We enjoyed our stay. The hotel is clean, service is excellent, staff is nice and the free breakfast was good as well (It was the deciding factor in booking). The pool was great as well. The only negative was that the beds were a bit small. Otherwise, we were happy with the hotel.

There was an agency that had booked people onto a tour at this hotel and they were all hanging around the reception and blocking the doors and was absolute chaos just trying to get out of the place. You could tell the staff had had enough of them being there as they seemed to be a rude bunch. I think if the tour wasn’t there it would be good. Also, they seem to charge for everything extra you want and was no towel in my room when I got there.

A great stay!

Friendly hotel that was clean and well staffed. It was great for a 3 star and is reasonably priced for families and couples to be able to come and enjoy Barbados. The rooms are lovely and spacious and clean towels are plentiful. The staff are friendly and courteous.I feel there should be an extra cover provided for the bed as one sheet is not enough. That is the only thing though as we had a great stay on this lovely island!
