“Best vacation ever”
Beautiful scenery and beaches. The food was execellent and service was great. The staff was very warm and friendly and went beyond their duty to assist you in every possible way.
“Not Impressed”
staff very nice, food average, same breakfast all week no choices, two days with toilet problems- had to walk down to see mgr before anything was taken serious. Booked one of the best rooms had water leaking all over from toilet, the walls and the floor flooded from the leak in ceiling. travel alot would never go back to this resort.
“Would return in a heartbeat!”
I read the reviews on this hotel and some were very negative. They must have stayed at a different hotel than we did. This is the Caribbean, you can leave your mainland attitude at home. Relax your on vacation and you're in their country, go along with the program. We had a great time.
“great bang for your back”
I had a delightful time. This is one of the few all inclusive resorts and the food was delicious albeit by the end of the rip, you kind of got sick of the food, but the food was fresh with great sensitive vegetarian options and delicious fish entrees. The staff at the bar was great, the drinks were great, go for the banana smoothie, and they give you a complimentary bottle of rum on arrival. The resort is safe and the staff are quite helpful.
“Almond Casaurina - August 2011”
I returned from the Almond Casaurina yesterday. Overall, my family and I had a good experience, but there were some things that bothered us, and other guests shared our same concrens. 1) I did not have internet access for an entire week. There is no WiFi at the resort and the hard wired connection was not working. In 2011 I think it is unacceptable to not have free WiFi at a resort. 2) Prior to arrival I was not informed of the requirement for men to wear 'long trousers' for dinner. I where a suit to work everyday, and when I am on vacation on an island in 90 degree heat I like to wear shorts. Because of this requirement I was only allowed to eat dinner at the buffets and I could not go to some of the finer dining experiences. 3) Customer service skills were lacking in most of the employees. The front desk staff should always greet you with a smile, but I am not sure if I saw any of the young ladies in guest services smile at anyone. The bartenders and the beach staff were the only personable staff. Some of the waitresses were good, but some acted as if I they did not want to do their job. 4) The resort is very well kept and it is very close to the airport. I enjoyed the food even though I could only partake of the buffets. As I walked through St. Lawrence Gap, it did appear that the Almond Casaurina was one of the nicest resorts in this area. My parents are from Barbados, so I will return to the island, but I will probably stay somewhere else.
“Good”
One big problem is why the pool with the bar says no kids at all and there's little kids jumping in don't like that , everything else was great room nice had a bottle of wine in the room , food was great and drinks, the hotel need more people to work but it was a great stay. beach nice i will go back anytime.
“Great Hotel, was so sad to leave”
Just back from a great stay at the Almond Casuarina. It's a great value All Inclusive. I think some of the other reviews here are out of date as the rooms we stayed in had everything we required and were extremely comfortable and well appointed. There were no ongoing rennovations. The food was great - one night in Enids (caribbean style restaurant) we had the best lamb ever (and we come from a country with some of the best lamb in the world). The breakfast was also good with a huge choice and cook to order omelettes etc. The sea has high waves and it's fun to jump them but it's tough to swim in such rough sea. We really enjoyed the free courtesy bus (with a great driver who acted like a tour guide to the Island) to the Almond Village resort on the West Coast where the sea is flat calm and you can participate in even more watersports as well as having dinner in their restaurants etc (although you need to book some of them in advance). The resort drinks are great too, especially blended cocktails like the Almond Cooler! But even for standard drinks it was Gordons Gin, Smirnoff etc and the local Banks beer. We found the staff friendly and helpful whenever we were looking for advice, taxis booked etc All in all a great stay and we will return!
“friendly,efficient,and booking in again next year”
Hello, bet you are wondering what the truth is about Hotel Almond Casuarina. Read on: First and foremost management along with management staff is very important for the smooth and efficient running of any hotel, and I have to congratulate General manager also assistant manager and the management team for doing just that. Very approachable and understanding and above all......Fantastic people. My stay within the the Casuarina is one that will be with me for the rest of my life. The warm welcome when you arrive stays with you throughout your stay. Lush tropical Gardens and beautiful beach underneath a blanket of blue sky and the friendliness of all the restaurant and bar staff, kind and happy people working very hard to make you feel special. The room was efficient and comfortable with en/suite, A/C a must in Barbados. I must admit it is a breath of fresh air going to your room after a day of meltdown knowing your A/C is on for your comfort. The room service is excellent, staff are always making you laugh should you bump in to them. Evening live entertainment is available throughout the hotel bars. The music is excellent from the sounds of the Carribean to mainstream allowing for personal request and involvement. Drinks come in all shapes and sizes Regards the food having had all inclusive in the past the Hotel Almond Casaurina cuisine was outstanding,wholesome,nutricious and above all well presented. I be back! Jtbx
“Never go back before renovation.”
By the words of a local: "this hotel has seen better days".
“Excellent place to relax and recover.”
Visigted before the renovation and had great time, Having read negative reports prior to trip had some misgiving about returning. Sure there will be unfortunate experiences now and then. Still believe it 's a great place to stay. Friendly, helpful staff. Didn't get all the names, but remember reastaurant manager Sophie and bus drier Roger. Staff works hard to keep visitors happy, especially the restaurant service. Ready smiles. Waters at beach can be quite rough and even while standing in knee-deep water the waves can suck the sand from under your feet causing loss of balance and a poentially unfortunate experience.
