It
is
hard
to
know
where
to
begin.
From
the
moment
you
arrive
to
the
beautiful
pink,
colonial-style
facilities
of
Fairmont
you
know
you've
made
the
right
decision.
An
open
and
breezy
floor
plan,
decorated
with
bright
tropical
flowers,
surrounded
by
luscious
natural
vegetation,
and
with
breathtaking
views
of
the
ocean,
you
are
greeted
by
the
front-desk
staff
and
a
much
appreciated
rum
punch.
Every
room
of
the
Fairmont
has
a
direct
view
of
the
west
coat's
pristine
ocean.
The
rooms
are
spacious
with
beautiful
balcony
views
of
the
ocean,
and
the
housekeeping
team
are
so
sweet
and
work
for
everything
to
be
perfect.
The
resort
itself
is
the
nearest
to
the
water
in
all
of
Barbados.
Though
there
are
really
nice
pool
and
hot
tub
facilities,
we
basically
spent
all
of
our
time
on
this
incredible
beach.
Our
beach
experience
could
not
have
been
any
better
(their
beach
is
generally
accepted
locally
as
the
best
on
the
west
coast).
Aside,
of
course,
from
the
beach
itself,
the
hotel
staff,
Michael,
Jason
and
Nicole
specifically,
make
every
day
a
special
occasion.
They
come
to
check
on
you,
ask
about
your
plans
for
the
day,
and
by
the
end
of
our
8
day
stay
Michael
was
setting
up
our
favorite
beach
chairs
very
early
for
us
before
we
even
arrived
every
morning.
It
was
very
much
above
and
beyond.
The
hotel
has
3
excellent
restaurants,
one
of
which
we
frequented
for
breakfast
daily.
The
breakfast
buffet
is
great
with
a
ton
of
great
local
food
options.
We
loved
the
omelettes,
cheese
selections,
salmon,
bacon,
the
butter
served,
everything!
There
is
great
food
at
the
Beach
Club
where
you
can
also
get
snorkeling
gear
and
do
other
water
sport
activities.
Really
recommend
the
fish
sandwich
and
french
fries
(our
favorite
fries
we
had
on
our
2
weeks
trip
to
Barbados).
At
our
most
frequented
restaurant
at
the
hotel,
Taboras,
we
were
greeted
nightly
by
the
chef
who
would
come
and
check
on
our
meal,
chat
with
us,
and
make
us
feel
extremely
welcomed.
There
were
also
2
cats
that
roamed
the
grounds,
Rocky
and
Ginger,
that
are
sweet
as
can
be.
I'd
like
to
take
a
moment
to
recognize
two
individuals
from
Taboras
that
really
went
out
of
their
way.
Matonia,
who
waited
our
tables
a
few
nights,
is
so
friendly
and
kind,
and
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
talking
about
the
Caribbean,
and
our
different
experiences
on
the
beach.
We
also
bumped
into
chef
Julian
at
Oistins
our
first
Friday
night
in
town,
where
we
gushed
about
the
blackened
fish
we
had
from
the
night
before
without
knowing
HE
was
the
chef
(the
world
is
small,
Barbados
is
smaller
someone
told
us!),
and
the
following
day
at
the
hotel
he
had
gone
out
of
his
way
to
create
a
little
jar
of
the
blackened
seasoning
for
us
to
take
home!!
We
are
so
appreciative
of
the
additional
effort
both
Matonia
and
Julian
made
during
our
trip.
As
impeccable
as
the
facilities,
restaurants,
and
beach
are,
they
are
all
surpassed
by
the
staff
of
Fairmont,
which
in
fact
is
the
highlight
of
our
entire
trip
to
Barbados.
Basically
everyone
we
met
was
so
kind
and
friendly,
and
very
much
went
out
of
their
way
to
make
you
feel
at
home.
They
allow
you
the
space
and
time
to
explore
and
experience
the
resort
and
beach
at
your
own
pace,
and
they
have
found
the
perfect
balance
of
service.
There
are
a
few
people
to
highlight
for
sure,
but
every
individual
deserves
to
be
celebrated
for
their
work.
Glyne,
Michael,
Julian,
Nicole,
Matonia,
Shelly,
Antonio,
Thoriso,
Sabrina,
Sinclair,
Esther,
Shackeem
and
Najae
made
our
stay
the
best
possible
experience.
As
we
look
back
on
our
2
weeks
stay
to
Barbados,
it
is
difficult
to
put
into
words
how
special
our
time
was
at
Fairmont
Royal
Pavilion,
and
we
are
already
looking
forward
to
our
next
visit
to
what
feels
much
like
our
home
away
from
home.
This
is
THE
place
to
stay
in
Barbados.
We
did
some
hotel
hopping
on
the
west
coast
to
another
famous
hotel
and
we
very
much
still
choose
Fairmont.
I
envision
--
if
you
are
reading
this
review
and
considering
a
stay
on
the
west
coast
of
Barbados
--
a
very
difficult
scenario
in
which
Fairmont
does
not
exceed
your
expectations.
