“Strange Room Allocation Policy”
After a long flight I booked into the hotel and was allocated a room on the top floor of one of the external blocks. The shower did not work, so I went to reception and asked to change rooms to a lower floor as I had a young child with me and the block had no lift. I was then told that as I had a small child I couldn't move to other rooms on safety grounds! I explained that I was on the top floor to start with but that point failed to register. If you have a young child, insist on block 1 or a ground floor room. Rest of hotel OK.
“Great value...”
So, this is far from the "Sandy Lane" of Barbados, but it's a great hotel for singles, couples and families if there is a good deal going. The food was surprisingly good (decent a la carte and table service, instead of the dreary buffet that can be the norm for most all-inclusives). Some parts of the hotel feel a little tired, but for me this was more than made up for by the enthusiastic and friendly attitude of the helpful staff. I'd go back...
“Best vacation ever”
Beautiful scenery and beaches. The food was execellent and service was great. The staff was very warm and friendly and went beyond their duty to assist you in every possible way.
“It was good times!!!!!!”
It was friendly and relaxing. had to always dress up for dinner which some days was inconvient..
“Not Impressed”
staff very nice, food average, same breakfast all week no choices, two days with toilet problems- had to walk down to see mgr before anything was taken serious. Booked one of the best rooms had water leaking all over from toilet, the walls and the floor flooded from the leak in ceiling. travel alot would never go back to this resort.
“Would return in a heartbeat!”
I read the reviews on this hotel and some were very negative. They must have stayed at a different hotel than we did. This is the Caribbean, you can leave your mainland attitude at home. Relax your on vacation and you're in their country, go along with the program. We had a great time.
“great bang for your back”
I had a delightful time. This is one of the few all inclusive resorts and the food was delicious albeit by the end of the rip, you kind of got sick of the food, but the food was fresh with great sensitive vegetarian options and delicious fish entrees. The staff at the bar was great, the drinks were great, go for the banana smoothie, and they give you a complimentary bottle of rum on arrival. The resort is safe and the staff are quite helpful.
“Almond Casaurina - August 2011”
I returned from the Almond Casaurina yesterday. Overall, my family and I had a good experience, but there were some things that bothered us, and other guests shared our same concrens. 1) I did not have internet access for an entire week. There is no WiFi at the resort and the hard wired connection was not working. In 2011 I think it is unacceptable to not have free WiFi at a resort. 2) Prior to arrival I was not informed of the requirement for men to wear 'long trousers' for dinner. I where a suit to work everyday, and when I am on vacation on an island in 90 degree heat I like to wear shorts. Because of this requirement I was only allowed to eat dinner at the buffets and I could not go to some of the finer dining experiences. 3) Customer service skills were lacking in most of the employees. The front desk staff should always greet you with a smile, but I am not sure if I saw any of the young ladies in guest services smile at anyone. The bartenders and the beach staff were the only personable staff. Some of the waitresses were good, but some acted as if I they did not want to do their job. 4) The resort is very well kept and it is very close to the airport. I enjoyed the food even though I could only partake of the buffets. As I walked through St. Lawrence Gap, it did appear that the Almond Casaurina was one of the nicest resorts in this area. My parents are from Barbados, so I will return to the island, but I will probably stay somewhere else.
“Good”
One big problem is why the pool with the bar says no kids at all and there's little kids jumping in don't like that , everything else was great room nice had a bottle of wine in the room , food was great and drinks, the hotel need more people to work but it was a great stay. beach nice i will go back anytime.
“Great Hotel, was so sad to leave”
Just back from a great stay at the Almond Casuarina. It's a great value All Inclusive. I think some of the other reviews here are out of date as the rooms we stayed in had everything we required and were extremely comfortable and well appointed. There were no ongoing rennovations. The food was great - one night in Enids (caribbean style restaurant) we had the best lamb ever (and we come from a country with some of the best lamb in the world). The breakfast was also good with a huge choice and cook to order omelettes etc. The sea has high waves and it's fun to jump them but it's tough to swim in such rough sea. We really enjoyed the free courtesy bus (with a great driver who acted like a tour guide to the Island) to the Almond Village resort on the West Coast where the sea is flat calm and you can participate in even more watersports as well as having dinner in their restaurants etc (although you need to book some of them in advance). The resort drinks are great too, especially blended cocktails like the Almond Cooler! But even for standard drinks it was Gordons Gin, Smirnoff etc and the local Banks beer. We found the staff friendly and helpful whenever we were looking for advice, taxis booked etc All in all a great stay and we will return!
