Not as I expected!
No WiFi...not enough big room to accommodate 3 ( including 1 year old baby) haven’t felt enough welcoming ....bed was not clean enough and kitchen had no dishwasher....overly poor facilities to stay with a family. Blanket+ room should be ready before our check in but it seems owner wanted to prepare the room Once we arrive. Mosquitoes all over and room doesn’t have mosquito nets/ whatsoever as a protection. Even bottle water is not available ( for my baby) but we were willing to pay extra for that. Overall very disappointing...I had better expectations from Hotels.com. Please dine mislead people By advocating this type of heartless business.

Sorry we could not please you, but we please others. Some of us are difficult to please. The WIFI no fault of ours. All the apartments were full and the guest all getting WIFI. Don't know if it was the WIFI or your phone but because you said you had to use your data you were refunded thirty dollars. You were place in a room with a king sized bed (2 adults and a baby) it was quite enough but i offer to prepare the sofa for the baby so I kindly brought in a blanket a sheet and a pillow to make the sofa , do not mislead people by saying the room was not prepared, the linens were for the baby. You never requested a cot. All beds carry CLEAN white sheets. Travellers are always warned to travel with mosquito repellent. This is the tropics and mosquitoes not new to you as you are from the tropics as well. You were here for one night .... what dishwasher?? What is the reason for the pics of the sink and kitchen. We are by the sea , rust will come regardless , it is taken off from time to time but obviously if forms again. Every time something gets a little rust we cannot throw it away. The kitchen you took is your mess. I was so kind to give you an egg ,onion and oil as you requested to probably make for the baby.There were no bottle water but I told you the tap water is safe.... All those things I did. Isn't that not welcome enough for you? Have a positive and humble mindset no matter what situation you are in and you will realize how blessed and beautiful your life truly is. Have a nice day. PS. The room you had gets two repeat guest every year. They love that room and book it for the next year days before their departure.

Dear Indivisual not sure about the review since I had no guest from Expedia in early June and to now appear after seven months. If we were doing maintenance in June I will apologise but a check with that department confirm that no maintenance was being done during that time.

We stayed in early june. No food available. Restaurant closed without notice. The reserved airport shuttle did not show up. Had to borrow a phone to get transport. Property was in “maintenance mode” hammering, sawing, pounding.

AC and internet are NOT included in the price, on the contrary of what you would expect. This place is in great needs of refurbishment, cleanliness is not great. Nice view, and certainly great spot for wind and kite surfers though.

Thanks for your review. Internet is FREE so it will not be included in the price and you were inform before you made the booking that A/C is always extra charge for those who need it. It is not included in the price because everyone do not use it and it will be unfair to charge the ones who do not use it. You had a great place for the money you paid and refurbishment is ongoing at this place since we are by the sea and all apartments are are properly clean always. That is top on our list. Sorry we couldn't please you.

Amazing trip
For those who love to experience the local culture it's perfect. The service was typical of Barbados, gracious and helpful. They only serve breakfast in the off season. However the fully equipped kitchen and local market allowed me to cook my own Bajan style meals. The ocean view was spectacular. The local vans take you all over the island. It was an amazing experience.

Close to beach
No effect of the beach on the property apart from the breeze. You have to pay to get the air condition and chase the staff to get water and gas running. Although very quiet and close to the beach you don't even have access to go walk on it. The two bed room provided was not faxing the beach to have a feel of it.
Response from OM on 7 May 2018
Air condition is always at an extra cost for patrons needing it. The way the property is situated , all apartments cannot face the water, but there is a large sit out area where with lounge chairs where you could sit out or stretch out (your choice) in the sun and shade and watch the sea and enjoy the breeze while watching the surfers go by. We are close to the beach and it is a mere 2 mins walk to go and walk on the sand.

Not best option
Arrived 10PM, had arranged late arrival and airport pickup via email. No pickup, owner needed me to find him to get access to room. Charged $US13 additional for AC which did not work (blew hot air), Wifi only worked in hall outside my room.
Response from OM on 28 May 2018
If you did not confirm the pick up it would have been difficult to get one since we need to know flight information and arrival time for pick up. A/C is an addition USD$11.75 not USD$13.

Clean facility but lacking in friendliness
While the facility is clean and spacious it is hot and one ceiling is insufficient to maintain a cool atmosphere. Air condition has to be requested at an additional cost

Great value
My husband and I stayed at the Hilton for the majority of our trip, then made our way to the Round Rock at the end so we could save a little money and see a different side of the island. It's not the Hilton, but it is an excellent hotel for the cost. It was clean, very close to the beach, and a short drive to food/tourist areas. If you're staying here, you may want to rent a car since food & tourist attractions are not within walking distance. There is a Kitchen in the room, so if you don't get a car, you can always grocery shop & cook. Personally, that is not my style. I rather experience the local food and environment than waste time in my room cooking. With that said, restaurants in Barbados can be pricey ($25+ US a plate or $10 US per drive through meal). We were spending $240+ a day on food (for 2 of us) so we only ate at sit down restaurants for the first couple of days, then we found that we could get great street food at the St Lawrence Gap everyday after 6pm for a fraction of the cost. The SL Gap is a 5 min drive from Hotel, & there is plenty of free parking if you go there early. The nicer, calmer beaches like Accra Beach, Pebbles Beach ect are about a 7-8 min from hotel too. If you like hot showers, shower Early. In the evening (even at the Hilton) the water gets cold but I didn't seem to have a problem in the morning/afternoon. Although we didn't have any problems keeping track of our things, a safe would be a nice addition to this hotel.

This hotel is a nice place to get away for a weekend or to have a long stay. It's beautiful, in a very scenic area, quiet, and comfortable. The room was lovely and had a balcony that faced the sea. The kitchenette was perfect; it had every amenity including a microwave. The staff was so warm that it felt like a home away from home.

Overnight stay at Round Rock Apartment
The owners were very hospitable, they served home cooked breakfast and arranged for taxi. The room had no air conditioner and water pressure was very weak specially in the shower stall. I would not recommend any body if they are thinking of staying for more than a day.Good view of the Ocean and beach is close by.

Ok for a nights stay
This hotel is ok for a single night stay but not very comfortable for much longer. Air conditioning in the room is a lot extra. Television is extra. All very basic. The sea was very rough so not suitable for swimming, thus making it very noisy. All just ok.

Overnight Stay
We stayed one night while waiting for our flight to Canada. The hotel is small and older, but good value for the money. Our room had a terrace overlooking the ocean just in front, very relaxing. There was a small kitchen where you can self-cater if you wish. It is very quiet and in a residential area, close to Silver Sands beach.

This hotel is very comfortable, exceedingly friendly and family owned. You are not paying for Sandy Lane so done expect it. I can not commend Mr and Mrs Thompson enough. The views are fantastic, the rooms are comfortable. Perfect for a night between flights.

Hotel à éviter !
Rien de positif : un supplement exigé en dollars pour la climatisation, pas de sac poubelle dans la cuisine, pas de serpentins ni aucun produits contre les moustiques très très nombreux, pas de restaurant le matin a 6 heures, personne pour récupérer les clefs de la chambre a l'accueil lors de mon depart a 6 heures du matin. C'est la derniere fois !
