Sun Bay don’t book
Pros:

We have been coming to Barbados for 30 years. The staff in this hotel were beyond awful. When we checked in the receptionist didn’t say hello make eye contact just asked our name and gave us a key. This theme carried on with each staff member the breakfast was disgusting. Instant coffee stale cereal unclean table. We checked out after two nights.

Hôtel correct mais plutôt mort durant la période où nous y étions.
Pros:

Le personnel était professionnel et à l'écoute dans l'ensemble.
Les espaces étaient plutôt bien entretenus.

Cons:

La piscine était sale après le passage des jardiniers. je n'ai vu aucun nettoyage s'effectuer durant notre séjour.
Le bar et le restaurant n'étaient pas très attractifs.
L'absence de restauration le midi ou le soir était très inconfortable. Nous étions obligés de sortir tous les soirs. Avec des enfants en bas âge cela est contraignant.

Disappointing.
Pros:

We are just back after a 10 day stay at the Sunbay Hotel. Our first impression of our room was disappointing to say the least. We were in room 113. After a long flight we arrived to our room. There was a fridge, microwave , kettle 2 plastic cups and a small spoon. No water tea coffee or milk. ( we did bring our own teabags).we were so upset to see our balcony view was overlooking a corrugated tin roof. The furniture looked like it came aff the ship of Cristopher Columbus after the rats got to it. The bathroom had a fixed shower and at 5 foot 2 I couldn't reach the soap and shower gel as it was almost on the ceiling. I didnt unpack our clothes as the wardrobe and drawers were sticky and dirty. Was this the best they could do for a ten day stay?? . We asked reception for the bar or restaurant we were told it closes everyday at 2.30. She gave us directions to the nearest shop which was 30 minutes away along a dark busy road There are no nice restaurants or bars in this area. There is one lovely one called Carolinas across the road but it only opens afternoons and weekends. You are very limited to what you can eat or drink after 2.30 every day. There is nothing to eat or drink anywhere. Breakfast was good but could be improved with more fresh fruit and Yogurts and also if they used decent cups and saucers and glassware instead of the grubby plastic cups and beakers. The restaurant staff were friendly. The swimming pool was good and quiet. Easy to get a sunbed and most days had the pool to ourselves although most days we went to other parts of the island and beaches.
It wouldn't take much to have improved our stay. If they had included a proper tea tray in the room with milks and water and decent clean mugs plates glasses and cutlery that is not bent and maybe opened the restaurant for longer hours it would have made such a difference. I would not stay here again and I would not recommend this hotel and I regret not paying more for a better hotel.. You get what you pay for and I have learnt this lesson the hard way.

Would definitely go again
Pros:

The comfort of the room with the amenities such as the desk and flat screen TV really made the stay enjoyable. The balcony only added to the comfort by taking a break to relax during the day or at night.
