Matkat – Newbury

We understood that it was not peak vacation time in Barbados, but the resort was empty. The resort did not conduct any activities they had listed for the pool or the beach. No music being played - very low key. Restaurant choices very limited and one night there was even same menu two nights in a row. Very limited buffets. LOVED the staff at the spa! Definitely visit. The room was beautiful - very spacious and the view was wonderful.

Perfect location, great entertainment, all restaurants were open & food was great! Close to shopping places. Hotel provided free rides to different beaches because of the seaweed. Staff was wondering & my beach front room still had amazing views

The staff there during my stay 7/17 to 7/22 were tremendous and one was actually a super hero. I believe his name is Junior who risked his life and dove into the beach water fully dressed. He helped 2 people screaming for help because the late evening current took them out too far. Junior who looks like a baby himself needs to be honored by the company that owns the resort. The food was good and the UMI Japanese restaurant and sizzler steakhouse was great. They also have a game room and workout gym that's great. The resort needs to get rid of the poolside chair cushions as they are an eye sore to look at. They really need the same ones like one the beach.

Outstanding property and rooms with a view! Really enjoyed my stay and extended it would highly recommend
