Our stay at Tamarind was delightful; the location is prime, right on the beach with astounding views. The room was spacious and impeccably clean, though the foldout beds for the kids might need an upgrade. The staff were extraordinary and made us feel at home, especially with the kids' club activities. Dining could use more variety, particularly for vegetarian options, but overall the resort delivered a fantastic family vacation.

I had an amazing stay at the hotel, where the staff went above and beyond to make our time special. The room was spacious and well-maintained with great amenities, and the breakfast options were plentiful and delicious. The hotel had several pools and offered plenty of water sports, adding to the fun. However, the gym facilities could use some updates, and the distance to local shops was a bit of a trek, although the bus service was convenient.

We had an unforgettable holiday at the Tamarind, with an amazing beachfront location and spacious rooms that offered breathtaking views. The staff made our stay feel special with their warm hospitality. The dining was excellent, especially the breakfast options; however, we were a bit concerned about the new all-inclusive policy coming into play. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and I can't wait to return!

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, which was clean and well-maintained with friendly staff. The hotel offers a beautiful beach area, but I found the dining options a bit pricey and the food quality just okay. The pool area was a tad small, but that wasn't an issue during my visit. The location is beautiful but felt a bit isolated with not much to do nearby.

During my stay at the Tamarind, I found that the hotel had its ups and downs. On one side, the beach was stunning and provided plenty of activities, while the rooms we had were lovely and well-kept. Unfortunately, the service didn’t quite meet expectations, feeling a bit off compared to last year. The dining options were decent, but I felt they were a bit on the pricey side. Overall, it’s a beautiful place with great facilities, but there are areas that need improvement.

My stay at the hotel was mixed. The location was stunning, with beautiful ocean views and a lovely beach, but the dining experience left much to be desired. The rooms were decent, though there were some inconsistencies, especially between the upgraded and standard rooms. The staff were generally friendly, but service speed varied. Overall, I would consider returning, especially for breakfast, but the food quality needs significant improvement.

I absolutely loved my stay at this beautiful Barbados hotel! It has stunning views and is situated right by the beach. The staff were exceptional and truly cared about making my experience memorable. While the dining options could use some improvement, especially for dinner, the breakfast was delightful.
