I was actually more interested in the location of the Resort as we were staying with friends up the road then checked in for four days stay. Can I just say everything is simply marvelous so far. Our top floor, ocean facing view is incredible. Fabulous patio - two floors - with a rooftop hot tub. So relaxing. Makes me feel happy just to be here. Wife says “very romantic!”

We thoroughly enjoyed our nine night stay in a premium beachfront one bedroom king on the 4th floor. The units have an elevator and stairwell from assigned parking but also a separate elevator from the beach side that accesses two units. Unit 404 had a jacuzzi on the huge balcony...

We thoroughly enjoyed our nine night stay in a premium beachfront one bedroom king on the 4th floor. The units have an elevator and stairwell from assigned parking but also a separate elevator from the beach side that accesses two units. Unit 404 had a jacuzzi on the huge balcony and we used it almost daily. Both the bedroom and living room had TV’s with extensive channels, including those with NFL playoffs. Housekeeping was thorough and terrific every day. The washer & dryer was very helpful for our longer stay. We also enjoyed the onsite Gazebo Grille for every breakfast and a few lunches, dinners and desserts with cocktails. The entire staff here was friendly and helpful and we loved talking to them all. There were plenty of loungers and umbrellas at both the pool or beach and the pool water was a nice temperature. Our only disappointment was the weather did not permit use of the boat or hobie cats. This also created a rocky beach. Security here was 24/7 and always monitored entry. Having stayed at many of the 5 star resorts we loved our stay here and would definitely return.

We booked a premium one bedroom villa so were astonished to find we'd been given a 3 bedroom apartment complete with sea view, hot tub on the balcony, luxury fully equipped kitchen, 4 poster bed and walk in wardrobe ! We've travelled all over the world but this was one of the best apartments we've been lucky enough to enjoy. The resort was pretty quiet during our visit in November so absolutely no problem with noisy children in the pool etc mentioned by other reviewers. Beach was fantastic and the staff very attentive. We made good use of the free sunbeds, kayaks and paddle boards. We ate in the restaurant a couple of times which was very nice but the resort is a short walk from Speightstown which offers plenty of fantastic food & drink options. If we visit Barbados again (outside school holidays), Saint Peters Bay Resort will be #1 on our list.

Say it like it is, I seem to have trouble with Trip Advisor publishing some of my reviews, still if you don't succeed at first eh! Anyway 2nd time of trying, makes you wonder who does not like what being said about where. What makes a good review keeps popping up, I thought I had given an honest good review last time I tried to post this, the good the bad and the ugly, well ok, it did say just ok, but I'll stick to ugly, as that is how I found certain aspects of the service and the people who dealt out that service. Getting back to St. Peters Bay resort, I stand by my title. To those of you considering going to this "resort" please read on, I'll make this brief it will probably stand more chance of getting online. We have been to Barbados numerous times, stayed in some lovely Hotels, unfortunately this is in a different class, for all the wrong reasons. The place does not really fall into the category of Hotel, where one standard applies to all people staying in the Hotel. I say that because there are roughly half of the apartments that are owned, the other half being let out as a Hotel would let out normal rooms to guests. After being woken up by the aforementioned owners children, (adolescent age children/teenagers, and extremely rude at that) at 11.00pm at night playing volleyball outside of our room, on three occasions, I decided to take it up with the management, as the response I got from one of the owners was not worthy of noting, you can see where the children got their bad manners from. The Pool states that it closes at 18.00hrs to guests, sadly that is not the case for "owners" they apparently can use it whenever they so choose, as there is nothing in their contracts to the contrary. I found this out after the concierge told me that the 18.00hr rule applied to all, the security were clueless, the operations manager thought is was 23.00hrs, all in all a farce really. I know I am getting on it years (64) but to find that you have been sold a holiday which operates a two tier system is sad, the owners (not all but one ignorant family in particular, the C's) appeared to run carte blanche around the resort, as if they owned it, which sadly they did in part, regardless of anyone else's enjoyment that they might be ruining. The Operations Manager should get special mention, again for all the wrong reasons, unfortunately she was powerless to do anything to remedy the problems. Especially being threatened by one of the owners should I ever speak to any of their offspring again, fear not in true British spirit I defended my corner, only because he was of Maple Leaf extraction and particularly rude, he was asking, so he got, you reap what you sew, etc, etc. Anyway, what else do you need to know. Rooms were delightful, pool adequate, but obviously noisy, beach very nice, food in restaurant albeit small was fine, the staff in general were really, really nice, especially the ones in the restaurant who well knew the situation, as it had been going on for some years, how bad and sad is that. I do love Barbados, the place, the locals, I cannot fault it or them, but this place deserves the review I am leaving. It is a long way to travel, it is expensive and one expects the best, but you are not going to get it here. I fully expect the generic response from the resort in reply, but hey ho as said do look at the other Hotels there are far better, especially the CRC or FRP two name but two. I have never written anything but the truth in any of my reviews, unlike some that I have read, which I find hard to believe. I do not have an ulterior motive here, I just don't want anyone else spending the sort of money that I did and being disappointed at the end of the day. I should have gone back in the Trip Advisor reviews, this was happening for goodness sake in 2015, it shows that nothing has changed. Please be warned, and I wish you well when you visit Barbados, I cannot wait to see these lovely people on this particularly special island again. Best regards, Robert Mark Alexander and of course the sentiments of his better half. PS. The restaurant staff deserve a special mention, they all made my unfortunate experience just about bearable, my special thanks to you, you are lovely and I will miss you, Andrea and Myra, I hope the names are correctly spelt, but I'm sure you know who you are anyway, and Melanie in room service was extra special too.

Staff nice but resort jaded. Very expensive for what it is. Beach good. Pool ok. Parking good. Fairly quiet. Don’t expect 5 star service though. Room cleaning hit and miss. Only had breakfast at the restaurant which was very average and expensive.

Our first time on Barbados and on arrival here we were delighted with the accommodation. Very spacious, immaculate 2/3 bedroom apartment (they're not "villas"), decent kitchen, and a lovely balcony overlooking the pool/sea. We'd had great interaction with Shane before arrival and were looking forward to a relaxing stay. We thought the location was fine, plenty of great little places nearby and a short walk into Speightstown we didn't need much else tbh. So far so good. But.....we are a pair of mature couples and the resort just isn't aimed at us. It really is better for families I'd say unless you're in a particular part of the resort. Ours, 209, central first floor (level 2) was immediately above the kids club and directly overlooked the pool area. This was signed as closing at 6pm but was often in use by very noisy groups much later than this which meant we couldn't use our balcony. We requested the concierge on several occasions to deal with this, which they did. Fortunately the club wasn't well attended so disturbance from there was only an occasional issue. If you were determined to come here, I'd suggest requesting something as far away from the pool as possible and perhaps on a higher floor. This would have improved our experience greatly I believe. So sadly not somewhere we would return which is a shame as our initial impression was so good. We ate at the Gazebo restaurant as we arrived early evening, this a was a mistake not to be repeated. At 8pm we were the only diners and they couldn't wait to get rid of us. Starters and mains all arrived together, rather overpriced and they closed at 9.30, wouldn't even serve us another drink. Pretty poor really. We were on a breakfast inclusive. This was limited but decent with some nice omelettes etc but the coffee!! We gave up on this, we could order coffee which "wasn't on the plan" at some daft price but didn't as a matter of principle. On our last day they relented and gave us a decent Americano. The other stuff was instant granules from a catering pack. C'mon you're better than this surely?! So, slightly disappointing in the end but maybe we were just in the wrong place??

I previously rated this place a 5 star due to my previous visit and interactions with everyone. Unfortunately their customer service is great when you are spending money but when you are due a refund it is absolutely horrific. They have yet to refund some of my guest from a 2020 booking and after several follow up calls, and emails, they are now saying it will be processed by the end of the year. Refund was requested March 2021. They never disputed giving the refund, only the timeframe in which the refund would be processed. I understand that many businesses were affected from the pandemic (including my own) but it is totally unacceptable for any guest to wait this long to receive a refund that they are fully entitled to. I can understand 6 months (which is still a long time) but having to wait close to a year for a refund is absolutely ridiculous! To add insult to injury, they can’t even simply refund the card that was used for purchase, they want you to send in another form with your credit card information to process the refund (which was done months ago). Never heard of such ridiculousness. If there is even a slight chance you will cancel your trip, please don’t book this place! You will get your refund. Just may take a year or so.

This was one of the best resorts I have ever stayed at. The food taste absolutely delicious and the staff treat you more like family instead of some average hotel guest. The grounds were well kept. The rooms were very clean, up to date, and spacious, and the elevator access directly to the beach was perfect! The gated entrance with 24hr security made me feel safe during my stay. The resort is not too far from places and it is an easy short bus ride to many restaurants and shops nearby. It was great to meet and see residents that live onsite and not just be around all tourist people. Tamisha in booking was excellent. Always patient with me and and answered my many questions. Tracy even went above and beyond to do a video chat with me prior to me booking the property as I wanted to be sure the online photos matched the property (in which they do). Upon arrival, I was lucky enough to meet the Managers Joerg Roterberg & Geoff Farmer. They are a direct reflection of the culture established here as their positive attitudes and warm friendly personalities matched everything I had encountered. I definitely look forward to revisiting this place in the near future and highly recommend the property.

My husband and I have been to the beautiful island of Barbados many times in the past. We decided to stay somewhere we had have never stayed before. That was a big and costly MISTAKE. The concierge service was excellent, from the moment we scheduled our trip, to arriving at the resort. The resort is located in a tight neighborhood of homes, with no sidewalks and heavy traffic. It prevented us from walking on the streets and the beach was extremely tight and small. Not inviting at all. There was nothing around the resort to walk to or do. The resort itself had no amenities to want us to stay and relax as well. There is one restaurant that closed early, as we were the only diners at dinner. We were the only diners at breakfast as well. We had rented a car through the resort, though we had to call a cab for going out to dinner, as we didn’t feel comfortable having a drink at dinner and driving in the neighborhood. It became costly with the cab, but we wanted to explore on our own with the car during the day. After much discussion, we decided to cut our stay after two days, as we were were so unhappy with the location and lack of amenities at the resort. We explained to concierge that we were checking out and why. We were hopeful that we would have some of our money refunded. As we paid sight unseen in full as contracted. We asked if they could see fit to refund even a small amount. Comp our gazebo charge possibly? That did not happen. We spent $7200 For a two night stay. We continued our stay elsewhere and were very happy we did. Our trip was extremely costly but worth the move to another resort.

We loved our say here with lovely staff and a great beach frontage . Alas the storm drain under the restaurant was of concern. Not only could you just walk into an area that was unsafe but it was full of rubbish. Not safe for kids Food and drinks service very good ( Lesha. Exceptional ) Accommodation very good,air con etc, just a bit bland , as most are owner rentals perhaps more imagination in decoration would improve things Would return
