Almond Beach Resort

Resort

Great value for money. We had a wonderful time.

Best holiday ever. Everyone so friendly. Great food. Great room attendants. Great excursions. Only sorry I can't come back.

I expect the stay at this resort, and indeed the whole island, to be the benchmark of the perfect holiday for me for evermore. It's about as close to paradise as I can imagine. The venue was superb. The room was immaculately clean and the public areas were kept just as tidy. If, like me, you don't get on with sunning yourself on a beach because of the mess then you'll love this place. Here you can plant yourself on a lounger on the grass areas that surround the pools. Adjacent to the grass is the white sandy beach and then the blue/green waters of the Caribbean Sea. The food was exquisite. The breakfast was a feast of English, continental and fruits. The dinners were first class. The four on site restaurants amazing; the fish restaurant reigned supreme. If you're getting married here, as I did, you're taken care of like royalty.

Awesome experience, the staff are really friendly, and the location is great. The only issue with Almond is the rooms and some of the exterior buildings are quite delapidated and as a result it comes at no surprise that it's being ripped down soon. It will be a shame not being able to come back. Book while you still can!

The holiday of a lifetime! Yes, the hotel needs an update but with Sandals reportedly taking over we weren’t surprised it was a little rough round the edges. But that just added to its charm and it was spotlessly clean. Lots of Bajan charm, a fantastic location, good food and great people. A shout out to Roger and Shane for keeping us topped up with rum and a special thanks to Mr Edmo and the team for all our water sports fun! Still smiling! Island Tour was fantastic and even better that it was part of the all inclusive package. Topped off by swimming with turtles and maybe a little more of the local rum
Honestly can’t say enough good things about Barbados and Almond Beach. Thank you for having us and all the best from the Bryce & Sharp families.

HORRIBLE! Worse place we have ever been to! We are sitting now waiting for our ride to the airport. The hotel is disgusting and dirty, food is horrible! Pools are filthy and shallow? Most only 2-3ft? Some staff were very friendly but most were not helpful and made you feel like you were bothering them. Stay away from this place! It needs to be shut down and rebuilt. Most staff should not be retained. If I could give it less than one star I would! Get me and my family out of here!

I just came back on yesterday after spending a week there with my daughter and mom. I absolutely loved the food, beach, pools and hotel, drinks and entertainment. I am sad it's closing! My only complaints is the women staff could be nicer, Enid's needs to be more organized for snack time and the beach towels should be available all day to exchange not just between 5-6.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 5 days and 4 nights just last weekend. We had an AMAZING experience. Such a beautiful resort, the rooms were beautiful and always cleaned, the food and drinks were great, and the staff were so polite and helpful. For the price we paid, we got so much more than what we bargained for. We were extremely saddened to hear that Almond won’t be the same after Sandals takes over. Despite knowing that you guys will be closing soon, you gave us everything you had to make sure that our stay was lovely. Thank you guys so much for the amazing experience you gave us! Sending all our love!

Hello Almond Beach Resorts. I was the one with the hat with the hair! that should get people laughing right there. I jut wanted to say that of all the places we have been, Barbados and particularly Almond Beach resorts was a fantastic place to have a holiday. There are so many to thank, the people who were cooking the people who greeted us at reception the people who rented our car for us and had it dropped off at the resort. They went out of their way to make it a great vacation. It it sad to know that they will be closing soon and transferring ownership to Sandles. My only regret is that is that we could not stay longer. Barbados is a fantastic place to vacation.

The best holiday I've ever had! Amazing from start to finish. Beautiful hotel I loved how Bajan it was! Gorgeous sandy beach, crystal clear blue sea! Staff the nicest I've ever come across, so polite and friendly. So clean, all the pools and garden areas are beautiful. Food fab! All spirits in the bars are the real imported spirits which I've never seen before in an all inclusive. Jeep safari trip was brilliant, swimming with turtles was amazing for these trips there is no extra charge! There's also a turtle that swims up to the shore on the beach everyday! I saw a monkey! We were surprised one afternoon by champagne and a saxophonist playing in the Reef bar (looking out to sea! ) that was a very special moment! I literally loved every minute! I didn't want to leave! Thank you Almond for giving me such a wonderful experience!

Great staff very friendly and helpful. Food is plentiful spread over 3 restaurants, nice and tasty but a bit repetitive over 2 weeks. Rooms are clean n tidy but bathrooms are tired. This is our 3rd year it's value for money and great for kids club. It has ideal pool choices with all different depths. Beach fronted sea is calm with guest turtles appearing most nights before sunset.

Our first time experience of an all-inclusive staycation was fantastic. On arrival we were greeted with warm and friendly staff. The rooms were quite spacious and your own balcony. Since it was hubby's birthday we even received a complimentary bottle of wine. The hotel has 3 restaurants to choose from and the food options:-breakfast, lunch and dinner were all prepared by chefs and exquisite. The ambience, quality of hotel and staff are one of a kind and gave top notch warm and friendly service. They even cater to young children with a Nursery, Kids Club and Pool to ensure the children are well occupied while parents get that much needed downtime. Kudos Almond! We will be back!

I first have to state, the greeting at the front gate was pleasant and inviting. Followed by the security personnel who was at every turn guiding you to safe parking. On completion was directed by security to the front desk were you were met by an usher to the function area. The experience continued with a drink of rum punch which tasted great and and there had a couple more before the ceremony got started. Finally the function started and was well attended. The dinning was great which was complimented by the staff. They were courteous and very professional in carrying out their duties. The food was good. After or meal we had dancing and mingling. The bar staff must be complimented as well. I would say it was a great and enjoyable night. Thanks to the professionalism of the staff, keep it up. Thanks guy's.

Book through a travel agent, not directly on their website. We booked an airport transfer and spa package via their website and neither was reserved for us. We had to find our own way to the resort when we arrived when no one was there to get us. Rooms are okay but in need of maintenance. Some of the beds are good, but some are sleeping on the coil springs… luck of the draw I guess. Food choices are limited. They used to be much bigger but had to shut down a large portion of the resort due to lack of profitability. They had nice selection of activities that are included which is nice, times vary though. Most of the staff was great and very helpful. Oh, take some bug spray, and you have to ask to get your room sprayed. Take some swim shoes, part of the beach is coral reef. If you don't want to keep running to the bar getting drinks while you are at the pool, bring big cups. The small plastic ones they have at the bar go empty really quick.

The best place on the most expensive place I've ever been. Food is bland. Booze is free. The beach is nice but you get hassled to buy weed, coke, jetskis and turtle tours every 100m by the locals on the beach. It cost me £4000 for 10 days from UK for just me. I'm never going back. Save your money, you can live like a king in other parts of the world for that money.

Super Great here!
Any time again!
Hotel Good!
Service Good!
Eat Well!

The resort is a bit old, needs some renovations especially the rooms on block 5. Small beds, smaller than the normal twin bed im use to. Those are kids beds. AC not working. Block 7 was better with regular size beds. Had a bit of problem getting towels, wash cloths, they very tight on giving those out. Smh. No entertainment during the day; no dance lesson, group volleyball, etc. Just very dead place, no music poolside. At night entertainment is mediocre, needs to be more lively. Have the employees mingle and dance with the guest in order to get the party started. If you're looking for an escape with no activity to just lay poolside this is the place for you. If you're looking for fun, not it. The food was good, especially dinner at Enids. The workers are semi helpful. Some are but some are not.

Super resort. Swim with turtles right on rhe beach great staff.

Lovely hotel right on a long sandy beach. Most rooms have sea view. Food and cocktails lovely. Staff very polite and helpful.

It is definitely not a 4 star hotel — 3 Star! Needs a bunch of upgrades, looks like it was a nice hotel at one point but it has clearly slipped. There is has a lot of good stuff: some decent food, choices, good beach, good personable staff save for lazy witch in extensions who is in charge at the kids club! of all places, this was the wrong place to have a bad staff!

This place was amazing for our honeymoon. Staff are very friendly, food is amazing and service is above par. All inclusive Resort.

Only four star s as we were only passing through and only had experience of the food, not the facilities. The staff were exceedingly good though as they helped my wife treat her injured leg so we could get her to the medical centre.

The warm welcome, the courteous staff, and the wide variety of dishes, the spacious rooms and facilities were rather very welcoming and makes one feel at home away from home.

I spent a week at Almond Beach resort with two other adults, one of which was an elderly lady and also a child. I have had holidays abroad including a cruise and Almond is the best holiday resort ever. The staff are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble. They all make you feel welcome and at home, from the Managing Director to the lowest level of staff. The environment felt safe, the food and drink all day long was very nice. Something to suit any palate from adults to children. So much more to say about Almond. We had a really excellent experience there and I plan to go back soon.

I loved my stay at this hotel, everyone was nice, a lot of nice things to do. Lovely hotel and food. Best I've been to so far. Will definitely be back.

This resort is good for couple with small kids who could make sand castle all day and play in the pool. It is also good for laid back/older people. For the rest of the population is very boring. They have No dancing at all and have some music at night. Singers only knew the songs from 80, s and some 90, s. As far as food, I have to say not much of variety. If you stay in this resort, You have to go out and spend money in order to have some fun. Food is very expensive out there. 20 bucks for one piece of fried chicken or fish. I have to say people are very friendly but I will never go back. It is not for me! I have warn you about renting a jet ski from sport club. My son and I rented the jet ski for 30 minutes around 4 o'clock and after 5 minutes ridding we got far from hotel but far enough to see the hotel. Jet ski broke down and did not move. It was rainy and was getting dark and nobody from sport club came to save us. We were wondering why nobody cares. Finally a private small ship came and saved us and took us to the shore. It was 2 hours and 20 minutes later. The guy from sport club was standing by the shore to get his jet ski. I do not think he ever cared what happened to us. It was an expensive vacation. I wished we did not have that bad exprience. Just rent the jet ski early and make sure there is other speed boat on the shore to rescue you if something happened. I did want to mention about jet ski incidence, but I do not want this happen to anybodyelse.

Just did a staycation there and it was wonderful. Everything was excellent. Someone made contact with me before I arrived via email. I thought that was very courteous of them. Food was great, entertainment was also good. And the staff… It felt like family. Loved it there and would recommend.

This was a trip of our lifetime! I have been all over the world in both all inclusive and not all inclusive, and this one was the very best. It was reasonably priced, we were treated like celebrities by the hotel staff. The food was exceptional. The local town you can walk to is safe and has a fabulous pizza joint if you want to departure from the resort food. The island tours were included, we did everyone of them and enjoyed all of them. The people on the island are super friendly.

Friendly staff, excellent grounds, good food, and an awesome beach. Great value for money and appreciation for their return guests.

Awesome staff, very accommodating. Views are amazing and the beach was fantastic. Too bad the winds were high. Had to walk a ways north to swim near the marina Saw turtles in the sea right there! See you next time!

Stayed for 14 nights, hotel is very tiered and is due refurbishment​. Hotel staff really helpful and extremely friendly. Food was very good and plentiful. Entertainment was lacking in the evening.

We are having a very enjoyable time at the Almond Beach Resorts. It's a very tired hotel with a semi colonial air. The food is completely middle of the road with not a lot of choice. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and really make the place. The beaches are quite nice and their always seems to be seats available which is a huge plus. It's a good place of you get a deal on price.

Amazing holiday! Nice location, friendly staff, delicious food, clean area, beautiful views, beaches good for relax and also snorkeling, pure white sand, wonderful turquoise sea water, look after guests with high professionalism and the big smile, nursery for kids, … will come back soon… Claudia :)

Very nice vacation spot. Excellent service, friendly and accommodating staff. Three restaurants to choose from, good variety of food. Loved the charm of the resort. Will probably return in 2018. Close to a lot of interesting places unlike other islands we have visited.

The resort was an amazing experience. The staff were very pleasant and we were right on the beach. The rooms were kept clean and air conditioned. The food was okay but as a whole it was a great time.

Recently stayed here for 10 days with my fiance, we were really let down by the entire hotel. The food was very average, buffet breakfast and lunch which was the same every day. The only restaurants open for dinner were Enid's or the Reef, the Horizon restaurant was never open. The food again was very bland for dinner. We ended up eating out a lot and spending more money than anticipated. The hotel is on a massive complex but nothing is ever going on, there was only live music one night out of our entire stay and no activities. Our room was ok, but bathroom was so dated, rusty bath/shower alongside dirty tiles. After spending quite a lot of money to stay here we were upset with the outcome and wouldn't recommend.

My son and his wife and their son are there and had to be switched from a dingy room with cracked tiles on the floor. Spaghetti and ground beef after spending the amount of money they did is really unacceptable. An empty fridge with 5 little drinks? My son is a musician and travels frequently and was very disappointed to see an empty fridge in an all inclusive hotel. This is not going away with me. I say find a Sandals resort when travelling and the disappointment will never be there.

Pretty good hotel. Several places to eat for lunch and dinner. Beautiful beach.

Nice place… lots of foodand and drink… but food options are limited for vegetarian and mostly steam vegetables. If you are there for more than maybe three days, you will getto weary of the food. Tours get filled up quite quickly which was a little disappointing… but they try to work with you.

Nice clean hotel, good food for all inclusive standard. Friendly staff and comfortable rooms. Always a quiet spot on the beach or round a pool and plenty of shade if you need it.

Beautiful Hotel | Very friendly staff | Clean | High quality and varied food.

Chilled and Relaxing. You'll need to get into the Barbados way especially if you're from a highly stressed environment. You have all day out here and no deadlines, so chill! Food good, room good, hotel good and the people are great. The rum and cokes aren't bad either. So big question would we come again? Of course we would. As Timba would say akoona mattarta, I'm not sure if that's how you spell it but you get the idea, no worries.
