Reviewed 26 June 2011 - NEW

Firstly let me say that I am not an investor (unfortunately,) and although I work within the travel industry I am not involved in sales. 22 of us have just the most amazing 2 weeks at Buccament Bay, ok its not finished but whats there is simply stunning. The villas & service are quite simply exceptional and the food very good. We were all there for a big family birthday and they could not have done more to make things very special. Jannine their events manager & Matt Baker, arranged a private cocktail party in the piazza, followed by dinner at the Bay restaurant which was spectacular.

ALL their staff are superb and I have to mention Desrick, Calvert, Alma, Michelle, Joyce our maid, David our PA, Bruno on the Catamaran & the legend that is Murphy!! The best singing & dancing chef you'll ever see, and if anyone from Harlequin happens to read this, get Murphy out of the kitchen & back infront of the guests, we didn't see enough of him!! However, all this started with a guy called Vinnie Stenning at Harlequin's office in the UK, who gave us so much help & advice when booking for such a large party, thanks Vinnie, you're a star!! Unfortunately I can't remember all their names but be assured ALL staff are fantastic.

They have just started a new programme of evening entertainment which again the quality was first class, particulary "Fire & Ice."
All in all I can recommend this resort very highly & can't wait to go back. If you've already booked sit back & enjoy, you cant go wrong!

Harlequin Hotels & Resorts are branching out with a new project, Quin Hotels, which is a new hotel concept which will comprise of a range of five star, chic boutique hotels in some of the world's most breathtaking locations. This is a step away from Harlequin's traditional raison d'être which focused on the development of luxurious Caribbean investment property

The aim of Quin Hotels is not to build new hotels from scratch but to purchase distressed hotels which have become run down due to lack of investment, and completely overhaul their existing state transforming them into luxurious five star accommodation. The renovation project will involve new plumbing, electricity, air conditioning, furniture and complete redecoration. The new hotels will be managed by the Harlequin Hotels & Resorts hotel management team who will ensure the same excellence in service delivered at the Buccament Bay Resort.

Harlequin are quick to reassure those individuals who have already purchased a Caribbean investment property that this new project will not in no way delay the completion of the developments already underway.

As with the Caribbean investment property Harlequin is currently developing, turnaround time is key. The team aim to have completed the renovation within nine months of buying a hotel, delivering to purchasers a rental income at the earliest opportunity, paving the way for a hasty return on investment, although the capital appreciation will be less than on a current Caribbean investment property which has been built off plan.

The first two Quin Hotels will be located on the stunning island of Barbados, occupying beautiful seafront locations. Barbados is set to become a hub for Harlequin with The Merricks Beach Resort, due to be home to 5 star Caribbean investment property, still under development.
