Amaryllis Beach Resort Hotel

Just had a 10day stay in this place,the food was terrible,our room was small, the bathroom was tiny and basic.
On the plus side the location is very good you are just a short bus ride to bridgetown or the gap.
But if you want value for your money dont come here'

The beach is excellent been all over and it is the best beach we have ever seen the pool is lovely and a nice size. Had a brilliant time.
Hotel was very expensive, three orange juice round the pool cost us a Tenner in English money, they know how to charge! Lol!
People lovely and friendly.

This is this the best holiday I've ever had! Hotel, rooms staff ect. were all exceptional. As I am disabled we expected to encounter some problems but there were none. Every where was very clean and everyone very helpful. Highly recommended! The catamaran tour was excellent and we also did the island tour.
I wouldn’t have recommended this for children as it was a long day just travelling in the coach. The pool was also very good for both children and adults as was the beach.

We booked our holiday in September through Virgin to go to Amaryllis Beach Resort on an all inclusive basis. Our experience was far from happy, although the weather was very good and the beach location was perfect. The Amaryllis Beach Resort is advertised as a 4 star hotel. In our opinion it is struggling to achieve 2 stars. The facilities, quality of service and quality of food were all very poor.
The entertainment was practically non existent and there was no kids club. The most popular activity, judging by attendance, was the filling in of complaints forms. To make matters even worse the limited resources offered by the hotel were not shared equally amongst hotel guests. We witnessed that the guests of an Italian tour operator were getting preferential treatment over the other guests. This included the best seating positions in the restaurant, the best service, a separate supply of beach towels and the preferred positions on the beach offering natural shade.
There were at least 4 representatives from this tour operator who had effectively taken partial control of this hotel to ensure that their guests were well looked after to the detriment of other guests. We were made to feel so unwelcome that we resolved to leave the all inclusive scheme and distance ourselves from the hotel as far as possible.
The all inclusive didn’t mean all inclusive for the 39 steps restaurant and the Pizza restaurant. It was limited to one use only and up to a value of $42 per person at the 39 steps restaurant. We do however recommend The 39 steps restaurant that although included as part of the hotel complex is independently run and offers good food and live Jazz music on Saturday night. It proved to be our sanctuary from the frustrations of eating at The Almond Tree restaurant.
Other things you would not expect to encounter at a proper 4 star hotel included, a noticeable shortage of staff, absence of ceiling fans in the Main (Almond Tree) restaurant, missing fixtures and fittings from rooms, shortage of beach towels and no parasols provided on the beach - hence the importance of finding natural shade.
We don't consider ourselves to be natural born complainers and normally we try to enjoy all our holidays even though there may be certain problems or deficiencies. The extent and severity of the problems we encountered at The Amaryllis Beach however made it impossible to enjoy this holiday and the atittude of the hotel toward its non Italian speaking guests was nothing short of disgraceful.
