Very good value for an all inclusive inn. Definitely not a resort but pleasant and quiet. Half block walk to beach where it is a treat to watch thoroughbred horses take their morning swim. Not in a good walking area of Bridgetown.

This is a small hotel which we opted for instead of the Radisson opposite, where we usually stay and I will explain the difference. The Radisson is in a brilliant spot right on the beach with amazing views whereas the Island Inn is tucked behind 2 mins from the beach with no direct view. However the Island Inn beats the Radisson on so many other points … The Radisson is very rundown now whereas Island Inn is well maintained. There is several nice spacious lounge areas where you can relax and the bar area is great and the central hub with the odd bit of entertainment - the Radisson has small disjointed areas and no social atmosphere. The quality of food at the Island Inn is far better and all inclusive. There’s limited choices but all the food we had was delicious whereas the Radisson is hit and miss and in 7 stays I only chose to eat there in the evening twice. Rooms - again the Island Inn wins and despite several reviews calling the rooms tired, in my view they are typical of Barbados. Pools are both small. At the Island Inn you need to pay for sunbeds on the beach and be careful prices vary especially if the cruises are in. We paid 17 bajan one day but usually 15 US whereas the Cruise Club tried to charge 60 US !! Popping back to the hotel for drinks and lunch is easy. Most of the staff are friendly with a few exceptions. Lemar is great ! The hotel seems to have a lot of older couples who return every year and excellent for lone travellers as very friendly

TLC required but would return
As mentioned in many previous reviews the Hotel needs a bit of TLC mainly in the bathrooms. We had a Junior Suite which was a good space as we were only a couple. We stayed for 7 nights and enjoyed the holiday even though the rain was daily. Just a small point for the Ladies, the rooms are dark even with lights on so my partner struggled with makeup and daily complained that she could not see enough. At times we experienced heavy rain and the courtyard drains/ gutters could not cope so basically flooded out in some areas but as mentioned it was heavy rain. Food was excellent, as was the service in the restraint and bar. Initially, on arrival we were not sure we had made the right choice but the Hotel grows on you and very soon it’s all smiles and positive thoughts. No beach but it’s a 2 min walk to Pebble Beach and a 10 min walk to Carlisle Bay. Sister hotels Mango Bay and The Sands are worth a visit (mango Bay we thought a better hotel). Would stay again but only in Junior Suite as other guests mentioned the Garden View rooms were small and their really isn’t much to see in the garden

Loved this hotel and would definitely recommend it. The staff are so warm and welcoming and the whole friendliness of everyone too was so lovely. The food is great and Lamar makes the best cocktails. The rooms are spacious and have everything you need in them. Iron, ironing Board, toiletries, towels, hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities, a fridge, a safe and a tv. All apartments have a patio area to sit out on and sun beds are around the pool. The pool is small but enough for a cooling dip. The beach is a 2 minute walk away and at 5:30am you can watch the horses get washed and walked in the sea. Also the monkeys sometimes pay a visit in the mornings for food, which is so lovely. To sum it up, everyone you speak to would return back so that just says it all.

Has the ability to be a 4 star with a little attention to maintenance to the hotel. The pool deck needs a deep cleaning, gutters also need to be cleaned out. When it rains you are walking in deep puddles due to poor drainage. Food choices are very limited. Rooms are clean.

Overall, this was a lovely and relaxing stay. The room was a little out dated, but that wasn’t a deal breaker. There was entertainment a few nights and rum tastings! The beach isn’t too far away and it’s beautiful! Torah, Tre and both Sharon’s were AMAZING!! Unfortunately, 2 of the staff members were extremely rude to us and that ruined the vibes. Especially the final day at dinner, where Ann brought over 2 ice cream’s for us however, we only ordered 1. When I mentioned that, she roughly placed both ice creams down and walked off. Ann and Elise were extremely unpleasant to us, but were kind and attentive to other guests. It was very disappointing and the main reason for my overall 4 star review.

Originally a rum storage way back in the early 1800's, Island Inn is full of character. The conversion to a hotel has been done well, maintaining the character of the original building, and the rooms are large and well appointed. The all inclusive nature of our booking meant we didn't have to worry about paying for food and drinks which were generous and very good. Dinner plates have been beautifully presented and the choice good - however, we would have liked to experience a little more Bajan food. The beach is close by and we walked to sights of historic interest and museums without difficulty. Savvy Bar on the Beach was fun too with food trucks and great pina colada on call.

The Island Inn was terrific value for money. The staff were very helpful and friendly - nothing was too much trouble and they gave us a sense that they were genuinely pleased to have us stay: the food was very good and the room was very clean and convenient to the small pool and main areas. I would thoroughly recommend it for a couple seeking a relaxing stay.

Small quiet hotel with bungalows set out amongst the grounds. We overlooked the pool which was hardly used due to the proximity of the sea a few steps away. Dinner and lunch was a la carte with a buffet breakfast. Bar open from 10am until 11pm. Big surprise to hear and see the monkeys which ran across the roof at 6am’ish. Staff friendly and helpful. Music entertainment in the evening.

We stayed in the Island Inn for 3 nights and paid a premium for an Superior Poolside room. No one actually used the pool for the whole time we were there. It was too cold and is more of a large water feature really. The sunbeds directly outside the room were used by other hotel guests which rather intruded on our privacy. We had assumed they were allocated to our room as part of the premium price. We have stayed here before and returned because of the enjoyable atmosphere around the bar area in the evening. Sadly that has all gone and the bar area is not used due to Covid. Understandable but the same rules are not being followed by local bars. The hotel bar is still open but it is a shadow of its former self Food was adequate but clearly produced to a fairly low budget with limited choice. Staff were excellent and always cheerful and helpful.

Loved the quaintness of this historic property, renovated to a cosy romantic inn. Loved the dining, the staff, the quiet and scenic property with a wonderful open courtyard.

A Little Gem
I was in Barbados for the cricket, and booked Island Inn for 1 nights for the location mainly, but also as being on my own the all inclusive meals made it easy, rather than having to find somewhere to eat solo everyday. Fantastic beaches right on the doorstep, easy walk into Bridgetown and the Garrison area attractions. Food is good and fairly varied but its the staff who make the stay an experience, all very friendly and ultra helpful. Yes, the rooms are tired and might be a little disappointing initially but they are a good size and have all the necessary elements, and are cleaned to a high standard every day, and they all have an area in front of them to sit and enjoy your rum punch from the bar. They are very covid aware as is the whole island and mask wearing is expected and reminded, and rightly so. The clientelle is mostly middle-aged couples and there's such a relaxed atmosphere and peacefulness about the place. At this price for all-inclusive I think its a little gem and so did all the other guests I spoke to.
