Radisson Aquatica Resort Barbados

Staff friendly! Set up cake and sparkling cider for my 7 year olds bday as a surprise !

Staff was amazing. Shania and Akeelah went above and beyond to accommodate my husband and I. They had refreshments in our room when we arrived. Everyday they replaced refreshments. They surprised me for my birthday with a complimentary cake and wine. They helped us with tours. The front desk people were great with questions regarding area and restaurants just an amazing time. We will be returning next January!

Pros: G's SCUBA Diving boat picks up AT the hotel and he's the best Spacious clean rooms Very clean beach with very calm waters Availability of beach chairs without getting up at 1am to reserve them Royal horses are brought to swim every morning between 5-7am (you can ride them, swim with them, take photos with them etc) It's quiet It's very clean The staff is very courteous and professional There are plenty of places to eat that are spectacular within a half minute walk (yes really) to a 20 minute walk Excellent value for the price Monkeys you can feed within a two minute walk at sunup and sun down. Cons The hotel restaurant has horrible food. Nearly inedible in my eyes. The breakfast buffet is decent. You aren't really in the heart of downtown or too close to that either. It's not the main strip, but it's still a good location for anyone that doesn't need 500 different close by restaurants etc. The hotel is out of date. That said, there's nothing wrong with it. It's in good shape. Is it older? Yes. Is it bad? Not at all. The pool area is bland, but when you're on spectacular water you really don't need the pool anyway. Also, the beach bar could be better staffed. Granted, you're 10' from another bar anyway. Overall, our trip was excellent. We loved the hotel despite the shortcomings it has. I can't think of a better place for value that covers all the important factors.
