The Atlantis Historic Inn

a week ago

I was very excited to stay here and almost 8 months prior booked a sea view 4 poster bed room with wood floors on the top floor for 400 USD. When we arrived we were told we were” upgraded “ to a shockingly bad room on the ground floor in a separate building. It had old tile floors, was dusty and we looked into a parking lot. There was no four poster bed. The bathroom was depressing. When contacted the manager tried to sell the upgrade but as you can see from the photos this was not the case. We were moved to accommodate others of a longer booking. The hotel should have let us know or not have let the others book- it’s wrong to advertise and allow people to book something and then give them something else . And to call it an “upgrade “ only made matters worse. He did try to make some offers of a different night stay etc but this did not work. We had waited a long time for this room and we got nothing even close and spent a lot of money. I would be very weary of booking here - you don’t seem to get what you book or pay for. It’s a shame because it would have been potentially nice otherwise.

We ate at the fabled Sunday Buffet Lunch. The food was a wonderful collection of Bajan specialties. The codfish gravy is extraordinarily good. Pricey, but worth it. The road down to it is not for the faint-hearted!

The restaurant get’s a couple of stars for the food, but the front of house needs a course in good restaurant management. We hadn’t booked. Three tables were full. A lovely table at the front was free. And a rubbish one. Guess where we were put? And, when I asked for the nice one, the reason given was that the nice table had been booked. What, someone had phoned up and said: “I demand table seven”? Rubbish. And guess when the booking for the nice table turned up? Yes: you’re right. They never did. It hadn’t been booked at all. Test by then, I was in the full Caribbean sun. So when I came to pay, I called the manager out. He refused to budge: “oh yes it’s been booked”. That’s garbage. I also queried the service charge, as I absolutely didn’t want to pay for that arrogance. I was told it is mandatory in Barbados. So I paid it. It’s not. I want it back please. I’m sure the restaurant doesn’t care: I’m just another tourist. Our travel agent offered us the Atlantic to stay. We chose Eco Lodge. I’m so glad we did. The thing is, we have friends, and above all young goddaughters, on the island, so we come every year. We come to the east every year. We’ll never come here again, and I’ll make sure everyone I know on the island knows why. All that for a table and a shitty B$16.70; if the restaurant bothers to read these reviews ask yourself one simple question: was it worth it?

Had lunch reservations on Sunday, December 15th for party of 4! Wow… the SERVICE was EXEMPLARY, every member of the staff was focused on ensuring that all of our needs were met. It was evident that they enjoyed their work. The food was DELICIOUS and plentiful. Everything was very tasty. Of course, the beach view was to die for!! And let’s not forget the music.. a great variety of oldies, reggae, Christmas, and steel band. I would highly recommend this location. The road to get there was treasurous but it’s well worth the trip!!

We ate in the restaurant whilst staying locally and we were very disappointed with the quality of the food. The “fresh” fish wasn’t fresh. We had to send main courses back and didn’t feel well after the meal. They did take the meals off the bill however the whole experience was disappointing and wanted a full refund which we didn’t receive.
