Treasure beach Hotel is set on the beach at Paynes bay on the west coast of Barbados, found the whole vacation a wonderful experience, the staff at TB are all wonderful right down to the Housekeeping, Hamish the manager keeps everyone on their toes and makes sure everything is done right. I thought the rooms were small but adequate, little dissapointed that we only had two single beds pushed together rather than a King size bed, but I didnt go to Barbados to sleep, overall found it a very expensive island since it is supported by tourists, food is very expensive cheapest meal I had was $150 for two.

The Hotel TB is clean and very well run, all the staff are more than helpful and nothing is too much trouble. would recommend for aromantic getaway.

It really is a piece of paradise. I had the most incredible stay there and would recommend it to anyone. Friendly atmosphere, beautiful setting beside the beach, great food, great rooms and it is very clean! It also has its own privacy and it isn't big and commercial . It is a must if you are visiting Barbados.

I stayed there for a week with some friends from uni and had an amazing time. It was one of the most beautiful places ive ever stayed and I would go back there in a heartbeat. The service was incredible and the staff were a great laugh and had banter with them. I loved it.

Stayed here four days at end of June '08. The TB is a pleasantly unpretentious boutique hotel located just at the southern end of Paynes Bay, about 40 minutes from Bridgetown Airport. The room we stayed in was a 2nd floor garden view suite, which actually had both a pool and ocean view (glad we didn't pay extra for pool or ocean view suites!). Large bedroom, lovely terrace (with plenty of cheeky sparrers) and decent size bathroom too.

The hotel was pretty empty when we arrived (we were the only ones to check-in that day) and so plenty of room at the pool or on the beach. Never saw more than 2-3 tables occupied for dinner (though we only ate at the hotel restaurant one night).

My only (minor) comment is that the staff seemed a bit grumpy: I rarely got a smile from anyone other than the very friendly manager, Hamish and the reception staff. Apart from this, service was fine, but reactive rather than proactive (i.e. if you took a seat by the pool, nobody would ask if you wanted a drink from the bar).

Go here if you want to stay on the west coast but would rather avoid glitzy resort-style hotels and prefer a more personal place to stay.

A tip: don't bother signing up for a catamaran cruise to see turtles: just swim off the beach and you'll see all the turtles you could ever want (all the catamaran cruises pitch up 50m north of the hotel every day). We also saw barracuda, rays, trumpetfish and a conger eel just by snorkelling off the beach..
