Product Details

Pool

I have just returned from a weekend stay at the Sam  Lord's Castle  resort. Everything about my stay was perfect. I was greeted with a glass of champagne at check in which was a lovely touch. I booked an ocean view room and the view was stunning.. There was a great selection  of food to choose from and the staff were very friendly.  All the pools were crystal clear and I enjoyed many hours sitting under a parasol sipping cocktails. A wonderful choice for a relaxing holiday.

Perfect relaxing weekend break

They were so many mixed reviews when booking this hotel, but I decided to take a chance. There was one review that was very thorough and honest and that review was the deciding factor. The hotel is still fairly new, and there are still phases to be completed. When we arrived, we were greeted with cool infused essential oil and towel to wipe our hands. We were then escorted to the lobby we were asked to be seated and offered a glass of champagne. Check-in is a little slow but this has been my experience with all the Caribbean islands I have visited. 
Once checked-in we were escorted to our beautiful suite with a living area, two ocean front balconies the lounge beds & oversized lounge chair. We were informed about the 3 restaurants & bars and where to book  reservations and excursions. 
The grounds are lush & well kept, the beach is accessible but does not offer any drink or food service. The hotel sets on the Atlantic side of the island & is not recommended for swimming but you are able to walk long the shore to see the crashing waves, which is so soothing.
They do offer a free shuttle service to one of the local beaches. The local beaches are stunning. 
The majority of the staff are very friendly & helpful, there were a few staff members to barely cracked a smile when spoken to. 
I celebrated my birthday & was greeted with cake & nice card, no balloons or door banner. The cake was a nice gesture & did make me smile. 
The food from the buffet was pretty good, the poolside grill was really tasty & the Castle View restaurant dinner was delicious. 
My stay overall was wonderful, which is why I gave 5 stars.

Rest relax & celebrate

Everything was great I came here for my birthday, staff was wonderful especially Oswald, ishama and Sherman. Clive entertainment was spectacular! Only thing I would recommend is adding more restaurants and a night club. Otherwise I will definitely be back soon!!

Excellent stay!

Stay away from this hotel!!! We check in in a half clean room, with people old baby closet stuck underneath some clean towels in the toilet. Media bar was left with one sprite and coffee table still have empty container of coffee, mate.
We stay here for 8 nights and it is not the 5 stars hotel you will get. Hotel itself was old and dates, staff is not friendly and are quite lazy. Never go about the way to help you only looking for the next tips. Hotels food( buffet )  is not good, very low standard and have flies all over it all the time. We came on Sunday and got the first clean on Monday and that was it. The sheets not been clean and was full of dry blood stain and new shoe stain. We add picture below

Worst 5 stars hotel I haven’t stay in

I stayed with my family at the Wyndham Grand Barbados Sam Lords for 10 days in August 2004. We had a lovely stay with many positive points - the pool was great and my kids made good friends and enjoyed the pool activities. The buffet food was good in the main restaurant but the food and service in the Castle View restaurant was amazing (you need to book a table) The steak was soooo lovely with my favourite pepper sauce! The lovely Jalisa gave us impeccable service. In the main buffet restaurant Elroy was so helpful and we had lovely chats with him. Lovely rooms - a good size - and the gym and table tennis tables were great too. 

A couple of negative things - the 'family' film that I took my 12 year old daughter to watch was totally inappropriate and so much swearing that we walked out within 5 minutes. The staff need to check these choices out carefully as I was quite shocked as was my daughter. 

The restaurant decided to play pipe music quite loudly through the night which we could hear from our rooms around 5th floor. I had toilet roll shoved in my ears at one point (forgot my ear plugs) I complained and it stopped for 1 night then started up again the next night so I was awake from 4am. Why does anyone want to hear pipe music through the night particularly in a family hotel? Stop the music after the bars are closed so people can sleep please. It would actually put me off booking again, particularly since my complaint was not dealt with. 

Lastly my son had a bad tummy one night and I asked for a toilet brush from reception as I don't think the cleaners should have to deal with these things. I asked about 6 times and they finally gave me one about 5 hours later - it looked like they had to buy one after offering me a 'used' one which I said no thanks to ! I think a toilet brush is a basic hygiene requirement in any hotel and it got quite frustrating that I had to ask so many times. 

 A few small things would really improve this hotel but overall we had a nice stay. Thank you.

Great stay in August 2024 but a few improvements could be made to improve it.
