Had a fantastic time on my Honeymoon at this hotel and Spa. Took advantage of a massage, and have to admit, i felt really ill afterwards (that may have been just me!). Food was good, but could have dont with some variety oafter a week (it seemed to be the same old stuff all the time!), but i enjoyed what... more

Having recently returned from the Escape & Spa i feel obliged to agree with and counter some of the previous comments. We travelled last minute with Virgin and managed to get a very good deal with a hotel upgrade yet can understand why people paying the full brochure price may feel aggrieved. The original hotel although in an excellent location,... more

I stayed at this hotel in August 2008 with my husband and some friends. The beach is lovely and the open air restaurants have a lovely view and good quality food although the selection for vegetarians is not great. I don't normally write negative views as I try to make the best of all situations especially on holiday but there... more

Hi We stayed here for 2 weeks leaving on the 1st September 2008, We had a standard room on the top floor, room 405, over looking the ocean, though there were no frills to this room, No fridge, No balcony, No dvd player or remote for the tv. The toilet didn`t flush properly, the door fell off our wardrobe, and... more

Yes I agree with most of the other comments this hotel is definately not a 4 star hotel. When we arrived it took three attempts to get the room we had paid for. Air conditioning not working correctly,food left on stairs for long periods of time,birds in the restaurant a constant menance pooing all over the chairs could't get breakfast... more

I went to the Escape and Spa for my honeymoon and had a dreadful experience. The hotel is really in need of upgrading and has no air conditioning. The evening were very sticky and I looked like a mess for the entire stay because of this. Food was ok but the service left a lot to be desired. Staff are... more

We did a two centre holiday in May-June 2007 to mark a 40th birthday. Our second week was at the Escape Resort & Spa, St James, Barbados. This was rated as 4V's with Virgin holidays so my expectations for this hotel were quite high and we were given an upgrade when booking this holiday to a superior room. Our superior... more

I have read many reviews about the hotel and a lot of people seem to be very negative about it. however, i have been twice now and have also booked to go back in january 09! my mom has been 6 times now and she'll also be going back in january! from the moment you arrive it is just like... more

I agree with everything in the previous review. The hotel may not look too good from the outside, but once inside it was lovely. It is need of refurbishment but the view from the seascape restaurant was fabulous and the food was outstanding especially in the garden restaurant. There was never a queue for drinks and you could have champagne... more
