Our first time in Barbados and to the Abidah but it will not be our last. We went with open minds, knowing the hotel was very small with no entertainment and just one restaurant - we absolutely loved it. Five star service - such lovely people and excellent food. My husband is celiac and the Chefs went above and beyond to make sure he was catered for - we both ate very well with a great selection of food and excellent quality. Really large rooms, so clean and very comfortable bed. Whilst there was no live entertainment in the evening, there was music playing and two sports screens and great cocktails. Because of this everyone tended to sit together in the evening and we made some great friends there. Beach is just over a small road and a lovely beach (choppy sea!). The pool is small and sometimes we had it to ourselves which was lovely - this is the only improvement I would highlight - it could be made to look a little better and the sunbeds are not very comfortable, but we spent great days relaxing by the pool. The staff are one of the key things which make this hotel 5 star - everyone without exception was approachable, friendly and could not do enough to help you. There are some in particular I would like to mention who truly made our holiday special, and we really enjoyed spending time with, in particular Julius in the restaurant and bar, Jacobi and Tre on cocktails/bar and Neal the Restaurant/Bar Manager. We spent some great days/evenings with them laughing. Not to forget Christina, Sharon, Ishaka and Shemaiah in the restaurant, and a special thanks to Leo the Chef for looking after my husband.
