I really enjoyed my stay here! All of the staff were friendly and accommodating, and the room was very clean. My favorite amenities were the pool and restaurant in the building. It was very convenient and there were a lot of great options to choose from. It's also located a short walk away from the St. Lawrence Gap and Dover beach, so there's a lot of other food options to choose from. If you're traveling to Barbados, I definitely recommend staying here!

If you’re looking for a quick one night stay, Melbourne Inn will suffice. Check in staff was friendly and welcoming. They were also helpful when a friend thought she lost her AirPods there. They did a very thorough look of the rooms and the restaurant hoping to find them for her. The rooms are small and not very updated but not bad for a one night stay. Had we been staying longer than that, I would’ve made alternate plans. The bed was comfortable but we had to remake it because they put the blanket under the sheet and it was the roughest, itchiest blanket ever. The tv in our room (#14) was SUPER small (at best 24in) compared to TVs in other rooms (we had friends in other rooms). The bathroom was tiny and there was very little counter space outside the bathroom to get ready. We had breakfast at the new restaurant on site and it was mediocre. Wait staff seemed confused by their own menu. I had a blueberry pancake that was definitely not a blueberry pancake. Very dry and not flavorful at all. Friends asked for a mimosa and the waiter said they didn’t have that, but champagne and orange juice were listed on the menu. The friend explained how to make it and then they did. Overall, the room served its purpose for a one night stay before going to our actual accommodations. I would not stay longer than that for a vacation.
