I really wanted to love this stay, but the lack of basic utilities and the staff's \"not our problem\" attitude made it impossible to enjoy.
The Issue: No Running Water
For several hours during our stay, the water in our suite was completely shut off. Normally, this might be a minor hiccup, but the timing was terrible. We had just returned from a long day of snorkeling, and being unable to rinse off the salt and sand was incredibly uncomfortable. Beyond that, basic hygiene—like flushing the toilet or washing our hands—became a major ordeal.
The Response: Lack of Support
When we contacted the staff, they informed us that the city was performing maintenance nearby. While I understand that external infrastructure issues are out of the hotel's direct control, the lack of assistance was disappointing.
• No proactive communication: I wasn’t warned this might happen.
• No temporary solutions: The staff didn't offer bottled water for hygiene or access to a backup facility.
• Zero empathy: We were essentially told to just wait it out, despite paying for a \"luxury\" suite experience.
Bottom Line: A hotel’s primary job is to provide a functional space to rest and clean up. If they can’t provide water, they should at least provide a solution or a sincere apology. I left feeling salty—literally and figuratively.

The property is great. The units on property are individually owned and unfortunately our unit is poorly maintained. The furniture need updating, the refrigerator wouldn't close without a struggle, the television is old and didnt work well. The unit also need shelves in the bathrooms and atleast one mirror. They only mirror was over the sink in the bathrooms. House keeping was the best thing about this unit. Property is perfect, just ensure you are renting a kept unit.

The apartment overall was nice and communication with management was always easy and accessible however the cleanliness of our unit could have been a little better specially in the bathrooms. But the unit came with a lot of amenities including a washing machine which was quite nice and it is reasonable driving distance from town.

We have been coming to the island for 40 years. We feel this condo unit is overpriced for what you get in terms of location and ammenities.
The condo itself was nicely decorated, it was clean and there was everything you need in the kitchen. Comfortable seating, although the lighting is very dim!! AC in every room was appreciated!! Housekeeping staff were very friendly and attentive!
Unfortunately, we had issues with the en-suite shower. After 3 minutes the bathroom was flooded. Safety issues with shower design and slippery tiles. Management responded quickly when we notified them and a plumber came the next morning. Drainage issues continued during our stay. The washing machine which was listed in the property profile was not operstional.
All ground-floor units in this complex have direct access to the pool. All other units need to go down the back stairs and walk outside around the building to reach the pool.
The area appears to not have fully recovered since Covid. Many popular establishments have closed down. Public transportation in very close!

The unit was nothing like what is shown in the pictures.
Mold in the shower, tape keeping kitchen cupboards together, no soap or shampoo. We arrived from the airport only to find 2 bathrooms without any soap to wash one's hands.
I would be we stay here again. Barbados is beautiful but this apartment was a total fail.

Lovely comfortable apartment

Apartment was very clean and beds very comfortable. I would suggest more clothes hangers in all bedrooms, would be good to have dressing table and chair in some bedrooms and shelves in the bathroom for cosmetics creams etc. Kitchen was great perhaps provide big salad bowls. Lovely staff and security available from 6 pm.

Flavour of the neighbourhood

If you like to have an experience of the geography of the place you are visiting, this resort is it! It gave me the impression that I was living in Barbados at the same time as being very comfortable. Loved the vibe of the location.
Wifi was impeccable and bus stop super close. Walking in either direction provided us with literally every thing we needed.

Really liked the view of the ocean from our unit. Mrs M. the lady that came in to clean for us, was exceptionally sweet. The unit itself was nice, we really liked it, however to no fault of anyone, the shower backed up and flooded the room and the tiles in the hallway popped and cracked, was a bit disconcerting. Other than those two incidences it was quite nice place to stay.

Really nice and cozy place

The stay was wonderful. The pool was nice and heated, the rooms were pretty much sound proof and there was a great freshness to the room. The patio was a great place to relax and have some fresh air. The only drawbacks were there seemed to be quite a few mosquitos and flies about. I don't know the reason why but they were great in number and left me and my partner with significant bites. Overall though I would say this is a good getaway .

Convenient position on West Coast.

We were very pleased with the apartment but it was the lack of information from the time of booking plus being given the wrong code to access the apartment which spoilt the lead up to and beginning of our holiday.
From the moment we booked the lack of communication regarding our booking made me doubt that we had one at all. Twice I rang Homeaway support who confirmed our booking was sound and was through Expedia. This was all news to me. Also there were 2 taxes we had to pay on the island which we hadn’t been notified of. All in all what should have been a time of looking forward to a special holiday was spoilt by doubt that our booking was sound. I will not book through Homeaway again but will go to the Lantana Resort in Weston but will book direct with Island Villa Holidays.

Very basic. Fridge and washer drier not working. ,Very small double bed. No air conditioning in lounge. No reception or entertainment on site.
On third floor with no elevator and no one to assist with luggage. On arrival there was very inadequate seating - 1 couch for a unit designed for 6 people. After complaining another couch was brought in.
Poor standard of bed linen and bathrooms could do with up grade.
On plus side excellent staff who are doing a great job with a 2nd class product. Good wi fi, good air con in bedrooms.

Lantana Resort

The condo was ideal for our family; very spacious and clean. The people working at the resort were very friendly and helpful. Although there is no “front desk” that is staffed 24 hrs, there is always a security guard on duty after hours. We arrived after hours and the security guard walked us to our unit, gave us our keys and all the info we needed, and also gave us some great recommendations for dinner. The only “downside” is that the resort is not conveniently located for walking to beaches and restaurants. We had a rental car, so that was not an issue for us.

Short Vacation

The hotel was pleasant in appearance. The housemaid was great and extremely pleasant. Close to bus stop which made it convenient for travel.

Bed was not the most comfortable to sleep in although it provided plenty of room.

What I most disliked about it was the curfew imposed on guest.

Other than that it is a very nice place with very pleasant staff.

Spacious Condos

Concierge, Juanita was very accommodating to our late night arrival. Rented a four bedroom unit for 8 people for 3 nights then moved to a three bedroom for an additional 3 nights when half of our party departed. Housekeeper, Shemone, made sure our luggage and groceries were moved into our new room, we didn't have to wait around and lose a day of vacation in order to check in. Condos are privately owned, so the layout and amenities provided were different in both. Both contained full kitchens (with necessary amenities), washer and dryer (leftover detergent/dryer sheets from previous guests). There's not much to do at the resort (only pool, cable & WiFi) but we're sightseers so it didn't bother us. Would definitely rent again in the future for large group trips If you don't plan on renting a car it may be too far from the airport (shuttle/taxi service is expensive) and some excursion companies don't pick up in that area or they charge extra.

Living amongst the locals

Lantana is between Holetown and Speightstown and they are self catering 3 storey apartments. We were in the back units which are nice and quiet. We were on the ground floor which was okay but we would have preferred a higher unit. The pool is small but very clean. The beds were quite firm with two twins pushed together to form a king. I'm not sure if other units are the same. We did not have a car so we used the buses to get around but there is a beautiful beach just down the road called Reeds bay. When the tide is out you can also walk all the way to Mullins beach. There are local family friendly places to eat which we discovered, Marcie's, Wandas on the Beach, de Outback which we could walk to. We felt very safe with walking around and the local people were very friendly and kind.
The Lantana is nestled amongst the people of Barbados so you get a real life experience. The staff were very helpful and friendly at the Lantana. There is St Albans school across the street and we enjoyed the sounds of children playing and seeing them in their cute uniforms. There is a fruit stand, fish market down the street and John Moore's pub for happy hour and sunset.

Home away from home resort

We were at Lantana for Barbados Independence celebration. Lantana Resort has the feeling of home away from home. Great cleanliness, modern facility, well equipped units, friendly, proficient and professional staff. Very secured resort. Public transportation is just outside the resort. Car rentals can be arranged by the resort for you. This was my 2nd stay here and I would recommend it to my family and friends. We had a Very nice maid room 310.
