Fodor's "The signature hotel of five Elegant Hotel properties on Barbados is certainly elegant, but with a quiet, friendly, understated style primarily targeted to adults." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"The Colony Club is an upmarket, civilised and unflashy hotel by an excellent west-coast beach. And though rates are high, lots of "extras" are included." Full review
Star Service "On three lushly landscaped hectares, 13 km north of Bridgetown, one km north of Holetown...this property ranks with the Tamarind as the best value offering of Elegant Hotels of Barbados." Full review
