Although we were very disappointed that alot of the restaurants weren't open and the wait for food was loooong, we had a fabulous time! Stayed in the Chairman 2 bedroom suite, it was stunning! Colby, Javier, Rachelle, Nicolai and the entire staff went above and beyond!

Our first trip to Barbados and we chose the Royalton Essence. Its a brand new resort and so we got a big discount for coming during soft launch. The report is amazing with beautiful rooms and a swimable beach great for snorkeling. The staff are the highlight of the resort. The people are amazingly friendly and they go above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable. There is entertainment throughout the day and at night. Everyone we met had a great time. We will be back!

We stayed for 3 nights. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. The spa was excellent, the hydrotherapy pools are wonderful, the room was clean and spacious, the beach was beautiful. My only complaint was the long wait for meals at all the restaurants. However on our last night we had dinner at the French restaurant and the food was lovely and the wait time was much improved. Also on our last day there was a lunch buffet set up in the Italian restaurant which offered a wonderful variety to choose from. Overall it was a great experience.

Our stay at the Royalton Vessence Barbados was absolutely amazing. They didn’t have all restaurants open and I kind of expected that as they had only been open for a couple weeks prior to us coming. However, they did an amazing job at rotating which places would be open at a time. The food was great. The staff is extremely attentive. - thank you , Jessie & Kaleifa for taking such care of our every little need! There was another young lady that we always had as a waiter and I wish I could remember her name because she was amazing also! I would definitely return here for a stay again. I felt safe and cared for. THEE absolutely only thing I had a problem with was our mattress. It was a little uncomfortable, but other that —- I looooooved our stay!

4/10 Fair

make pro in 1200 characters I would like to begin by recognizing the staff, who were exceptionally professional, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. The food was consistently very good, and our two butlers, Kaleifa and Jessie, were truly the highlight of our experience. Their dedication, professionalism, and genuine care went above and beyond, and they deserve tremendous recognition. My husband and I chose this resort for our honeymoon and were excited to visit Barbados for the first time. We specifically booked the Diamond Club package; however, many of the advertised benefits were unavailable. Our room had a persistent musty odor, our "preferred" view overlooked the rooftop pool wall, the rooftop elevator was frequently out of service, and limited restaurant availability reduced our dining options. We were ultimately approved for a refund of the Diamond Club upgrade. Unfortunately, our experience with Nexus Excursions was equally disappointing, with two excursions canceled due to overbooking and poor communication. While refunds were approved, the experience fell far below expectations. Although the property is beautiful and the staff exceptional, the resort does not appear fully prepared to operate at the level being advertised. First impressions matter, and regrettably, we will not be returning.

Most staff were professional. They seem excited about this resort, which opened at the beginning of the month. Some spa amenities, the hydrotherapy pools, were not working properly. Additionally, there are kinks, if you will, that need to be ironed out as this resort prepares for busy season. For instance, I was not placed in the room I had paid for because I reserved through Expedia (at least, I was told this); some amenities were not provided, reflecting a lack of consistent knowledge among staff; the same dish was ordered on several different days but the ingredients were never consistent and orders not always correct; and housekeeping sometimes skipped service or did not replenish, e.g., towels when they did come; in-room amenities were not in all rooms or provided at all. Service at times was painfully slow even at >25% capacity. There’s plenty of beach and poolside furniture and use was, for now, available first come, first served. Beaches in Barbados are public and locals will offer excursions to beach goers. It is an adults-oriented property. Entertainment was generally low-key/energy but loud if an early to bedder. In all, this is a beautiful resort with gorgeous appointments and art in the main areas, along with a generally friendly, accommodating staff. Mikketa, Rushell, Terry, Brandon, Desiree, and Shaniece, to name a few, always remembered faces and interactions. Mikketa and front desk staff worked to resolve concerns. As a solo traveler, this was welcomed.

Food is terrible. No flavor the hunter restaurant we waited an hour and 20 minutes for our food. They have one headset and he is a chef over all the restaurant they need more workers.

10/10 Exceptional

Breathtaking views and amazing staff at this newly-opened resort. Visited for the Grand Opening to celebrate a milestone birthday, and chose a swim-out room! Because of the opening, some of the amenities were not available. The staff were amazing (kind, respectful, and eager to help) although they were still learning (which was understandable). The food choices were adequate and leave some area for improvement for taste, but all-in-all this was a wonderful experience with the beach and pool amenities, as well as the amazing artfully-inspired entertainment, and water activities, including snorkeling, and hydro-aerobics.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

The resort needed more time to prepare for the opening of business. They could not accommodate the small number of guests that were there and everything was very limited for an all inclusive resort. They had challenges with the plumbing, lack of food, no entertainment and time management. I will Be reaching out to corporate to seek a refund for my stay. I DO NOT recommend staying here! By far one of the worst trips I’ve ever had especially from someone who travels a lot.
