Wanstead Holidays from AU$1,882

The staff was very warm, friendly, helpful, and professional and not intrusive. The food was plentiful and delicious. I loved my ocean-front room mainly because I love how the waves sounded crashing against the rocks at night. I also felt very safe there. Although the majority of tourists at the resort were much older, coupled, and from the UK, I, as a young, single, black female from the Caribbean, felt very comfortable there. I stayed 4 days there. If you are introverted and looking for peace and a place to rest and refresh yourself, this is it.

The hotel has the most friendly staff I have ever experienced.

Lovely hotel, well located and well maintained

Great beachfront property with good dining options. Facilities could use a little updating but overall a nice experience.

Not quite the luxury experience we were expecting however we eventually had a great holiday once we accepted the food and organisation were not going to be up to our standards (given the price we paid). We travelled mid January -the hotel was reasonably busy but not greatly so. The catering staff are not independent thinkers. We believe they get many products pre-prepared and struggle to make adjustments to cater for diet. Despite letting the managers know about the dietary requirements when booking restaurants - the chef/servers frequently complained (to us) that they were not informed and therefore they could do nothing. One restaurant - the Mahogany did have a great chef/staff in for breakfast and lunch so the hotel redeemed itself here and we were very happy with the efforts they put in. However it took 2 days to reach that point. The positives - rum sours - phew! the sea front room was just gorgeous. The lap pool was usually empty and we mostly got a beach/pool bed when we wanted one, but you had to be early. Despite the signs around the property, the adults area was prone to reservations in the german style with towels and clips. The kids pool was actually really nice too. We walked into Oistins and took the local mini-buse to the broadwalk and then walked into Bridgetown. The area outside the hotel has plenty of bars and restaurents, street food and public beaches. The sea was rough due to wind, common for January we were unable to swim there due to red flags.
