Courtyard by Marriott Bridgetown, Barbados

Star ratings are based on Klook's overview of the property's information (such as services and facilities included, etc.), and are for reference only

Loved that there was ample parking in a place like Barbados where most hotels have none.

Good

Staff

The hospitality staff were extremely helpful in making sure all your needs were attended to efficiency with the charming 'bajan' culture. However Courtyard Marriott should improve the lighting in the room ,the lights in living/sleeping area should create the ambience of relaxation and sleep the bathroom light must be sunlight bright and the flow of the shower must be upgraded this is the worst experience in any Marriott branded hotel notwithstanding this we had a safe and comfortable time

There was a wide selection of fruits and other foods to choose from. Excellent

Courtyard is an awesome location with great bars, restaurants and beach access close by. But the Hotel is getting dated, and I mentioned during previous stays that the room AC units are extremely loud and disruptive for a good night's sleep. The BBD 75.00 breakfast buffet is also quite over rated, you really need to pay attention to your customers and the quality of the food you serve. (Saltfish and your omelet station is great). But service level was poor and I managed to finish breakfast without anyone approaching me or the table. Hope they do a general reno on this hotel soon so they can live uo to the brand name.

The staff was amazing. They helped us with dinner plans and excursions that were wonderful!

The buffet breakfast was just ok. Options were a bit limited and I thought my omelette had a weird flavour I can’t describe. Not sure if it was the oil or the cheese. Whilst breakfast was included in the stay- the cost was $70 USD for two persons. I thought that was steep considering the limited options. We had drinks and dessert at the bar in the evening- and those were good. We didn’t eat anything else at the property. I thought the rooms were a bit outdated, especially the bathroom, but they were clean- and the bed was comfy. It’s definitely a business hotel because there was no real view to be had as it’s not directly on the main road- perhaps some of the higher floors facing the ocean may have had a view.

As a business traveler, this hotel was great. It had everything I needed, even though I did not get time to use the gym and pool. It is well-located (across the street from the beach) so that you can walk to the boardwalk and some really good restaurants (Big up Salt Cafe for crusted fish, Tapas for the view, Coco's breakfast if you want to feel like you are on vacation) or towards Bridgetown - 2.5 kms - if you are not easily frightened by cars zipping by while sidewalks disappear and reappear. Also close to the quirky museum with Rihanna's umbrella. I found it expensive - for example, 35 usd for breakfast buffet - but frankly most things were expensive in the tourist economy at the tail end of the high season. It was really handy for me that the hotel has a taxi desk in the lobby with very cheerful drivers ready to meet your needs.

Excellent hotel for business travel. Great buffet breakfast and spaces for working. The 24 hour, well equipped gym is a big plus! Well located with good access to main Govt and corporate offices in island.
