booked direct with virgin holidays and as always got a great deal by regularly checking their prices until they had an offer on over christmas. Have stayed at the tamarind cove before in 2004 and loved it then so were keen to see of any major changes had occurred. Glad to say it was as good as ever. For the... more

Before we went we read a number of differing reviews about the Tamarind Cove on this site ... all we can say having returned home this weekend is that the hotel is very comfortable, the food is good (particularly good in the Sasso restaurant) and the staff are some of the friendliest and helpful we have ever encountered in umpteen... more

Myself and fiance booked our wedding/honeymoon at the Tamarind a year ago after recommendation from a friend. After reading a few negative reviews we were slightly apprehensive about our choice of hotel but I am delighted to say that apprehension was totally unfounded.

Excellent food and service (although it can get a bit slow depending on the Maitre 'd of the sitting) Most of the dining is in the Tangiers... more

We are a family with a 7 yo child and we stayed for 5 nights in Tamarind Cove after spending 3 nights in Hilton Barbados. The premises are nice, the beach small compares with Hilton.
