This is our second visit to the Hilton Barbados this year. Six months ago we were getting around 4 BBD to 1 £GBP, now we were getting 2 BBD to 1 £GBP....even people like us who are fortunate enough not be on any real budget, this made an expensive trip, twice as expensive in a space of 6 months....its the... more

My girlfriend and I went to Barbados for some R&R. I would recommend the Hilton for many reasons. For one, when we landing there was someone from the Hilton waiting for us to arrange for a taxi to the hotel. The only negative, I would say was that there was a bit of a wait at the hotel lobby at... more

Honestly, for the amount of money we spent, I expected more from the Hilton. As many other TA contributors have said, this really is a "family hotel." If you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing, secluded getaway with your partner, look elsewhere. The pool and beach were beautiful, as were the rooms. The beds were VERY hard, though. We stayed there... more

My husband and I spent the 1st week in December at the Hilton. This was our 2nd trip there. He is a Hilton Honors member and we were upgraded to a suite overlooking Carlisle Bay. We prefer that location because the balcony is always in the shade. Being on the 5th floor the parking lot view did not bother us.... more

We stayed at the Hilton for a week long break as last get away before we become parents. Having read reviews on Tripadvisor we thought we would stay at the Hilton as it was seen as being a nice resort according to the reviews. This time round we weren't looking to spend our usual amount and so downgraded to the... more

This is a pleasant place to enjoy dinner Mon- Sat, with consistent good quality food and service. Try the split pea & hambone soup, the blackened fish or one of the daily specials. The atmosphere is friendly although there is no view of the beach. Parking can be a problem as the lot is small and the next door vacant... more

I went on 5 dives with Ecodive. We went diving at various attractive locations on the West Coast of Barbados. All of the sites had excellent visibility, colorful and vibrant aquatic life, and even some wrecks that were shallow enough that we could dive around for hours. Andrew, the dive tour operator, proved to be a great facilitator in that... more

My husband and I were fortunate to arrange for 3 mornings of private diving with Andrew and Mikey, and the 6 dives far exceeded our expectations. Andrew's passion for the sport and his overall knowledge of the areas's dive sites ensured we saw a wide variety of sea life. Andrew leads you on a relaxed, easy-paced dive and points out... more

Spent Thanksgiving week at the Hilton. Missed the warm Carribbean greeting upon arrival, as check-in could have taken place in Cincinnati, based on the lukewarm greeting we got. (Where's the rum punch and the warm towel?) Natives elsewhere were really friendly, but hotel employees were not. Things got better when we got to the room. You can't miss with the... more

Andrew Western from Eco Dive Barbados provided an excellent diving experience for our group of four!! What impressed us the most was his attention to details both for our safety and enjoyment. Andrew is very friendly and we will definitely contact him on our next trip to Barbados. We highly recommend him! more

We stayed at the Hilton for 10 days for our wedding at Barbados and our honeymoon. I loved the hotel property, the swimming pools are perfect and the beach is beautiful- white sand and turquoise sea. The beach itself is pretty much for hotel guests only because it is a bit secluded so that is really great. It's really romantic... more

I had a great time diving with Barbados Blue. Spent 2 weeks on the island and of all the dive shops I found Barbados Blue to have the friendliest and more genuine staff. Over the course of my stay in Barbados I dove with Barbados Blue a total of 14 times and got to know the staff and the waters... more

Went to Bottom Bay May 2008. (Self catering) We stayed in a friends bungalow, 3 bed, one ensuite, kitchen, lounge and pool. You can book through Holiday Lettings website. We had a great time. People friendly, accomodation great, the area is quite basic and a little rustic, but quiet. 30min drive from airport. If you have an image of a... more

If you are in Barbados and brave enough to try scuba, then Eco-Dive is a must-do. Neither my wife nor I had ever scuba dove before, but our guide/instructor Andrew made us feel right at home. It was the highlight of our trip! more

COAST RESTAURANT & BAR, St Lawrence Gap, Barbados We visited Barbados & St Lawrence Gap in 2007 & found some very good restaurants. Visted again this year & found one of the jewels in the crown. Coast Restaurant opened its doors in June 2008 and is perfectly situated at the entrance to "the gap", overlooking fishing boats & the small... more

Owner was rude. Was argumentative because an extra was ordered with a meal. I was told that's not the way it is done in Italy. Saving grace was the delightful waitresses. Food bland. more

Just got back from 10 nights at the Hilton (Dec 2008). I will summarise the positives and negatives of this hotel below: POSITIVES - The pools and beach are both great. We never struggled to get sun loungers by the side of the pool, and the beach itself (which is right in front of the hotel) is beautfiul, clean and... more

We've just returned from a weeks holiday at the Hilton Barbados. We hired a car from the airport and drove there ourselves ... very easy to find straight up the H7. Check in was slightly problematic as they put is in a twin room rather than King Bed but as soon as we queried this they moved us. We were... more

We have just completed our Advanced course with Barbados Blue. What a great team, very professional, helpful and friendly. The whole package was great from the staff to the diving. We would definitely use them again and would recomend to our friends. Adrian and Alistair more
