"Wyndham Sam Lord’s has the potential to be a great hotel. The staff is excellent and the rooms are nice but there are some maintenance issues that you would not expect at a newer 5-star resort, the biggest of which is we NEVER had any hot water our entire stay. The entire hotel was without hot water and we had to take short cold showers. There are also things like fountains not working/being used, broken path lighting, broken doors, etc. that indicates they are struggling to maintain the property. We ate at Castle View and the Japanese restaurant and both were good. Food at the Mediterranean and Grill was also good. There is an Indian restaurant as well that we heard was good but did not eat at.
There is an accessible beach, but no swimming due to rough surf and sargassum (seaweed). Suggest renting a car or taking a taxi if you want a beach day. Crane and Miami Beach are within driving distance. We rented a car and hit up many attractions throughout the island.
We were celebrating our 25th anniversary from our honeymoon (which was at the old Sam Lords Castle). The hotel offers a good view of the old castle which is lit up in Barbados colors at night. The hotel went out of their way to make us feel special, with a welcome heart and card on our bed and delivering an anniversary dessert directly to our room during our stay. I feel the hotel could be a true 5-star experience with a bit more maintenance. The friendly staff makes up for a lot of the deficiencies."
