I have just returned from a 4 night stay at this hotel. The hotel upgraded us to a sea view room which was a bonus, the room was nice and spacious. The main pool area was lovely, the pool bar was great and the staff were very friendly. Food quality was good in both Waves and Enids restaurant and the... more

I found this hotel terribly disapointing! I wrote to Virgin earlier in the year as we found out that the Almond Casuarina was not built. I had a letter back promising that everything would be completed and open May 1st so there was no need to panic. We flew from Manchester 7th September 2008 and returned on 21st September 2008.... more

Reception/Room Allocation Having read the mixed reports on the Casuarina and as i had booked the holiday to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary i was a little worried what to expect .That changed immediately on arrival, We were met in reception by Richard who gave us a welcome Rum Punch[or two] then we waited about 10 minutes for Guest Services... more

Booked this through Virgin due to their recommendation & reviews. However this is the worse hotel I have ever been to with respect to service & quality of food. The hotel is in a lovely location and the room was nice but that is the only good thing I have to say regarding this hotel. If you have children there... more

Reviews seem to be a bit mixed but I would have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Almond Casuarina and would definately recommend it and stay there again myself. The location is simply wonderful. The view from the balcony was super - beautiful pool, white sands, palm trees, all giving a very Caribbean feel! The rooms... more

Really enjoyed this trip, this is the 10th hotel I have stayed in at Barbados, watched it being built & decided it looked nice. Staff were great, always cheerful and helpful. Food was faultless, great variety and always good quality. Beach is lovely, could do with more umbrellas but there is plenty of natural shade. It was a real treat... more

Having stayed at the other Almond properties in Barbados and St Lucia and found them excellent I was worried that Casuarina may disappoint - but no way! The property has been extensively and tastefully refurbished and is an excellent base for anyone wishing to be near St Lawrence Gap but still relax in a wonderful atmosphere. The restaurants - all... more

This review is an honest and accurate account of our experience in this hotel and I hope it helps others to make an informed decision when booking the Almond Casurina, as I would NOT reccomend this hotel to ANYONE with children of any age ! The Island of Barbados is magical ! However, I can't help thinking that you are... more

Firstly I booked the Almond beach Club due to reports that the Casuarina was unfinished and the adults only appealed. I was told a few weeks before I left that it was actually finished and worth changing but i worked out it would cost more to change so I just left it. However, on arrival we were told that there... more
