Yes, went there probably 10 years ago now.
It's not too bad a drive up there from what I recall.
It is a very big resort, which has its pluses and minuses. Plenty of swimming pools so lots of places that you can choose to swim/sit around. Beach wasn't fantastic, although they were working on it so it might be lovely by now!
Brilliant kids club.
When we were there, it wasn't just children/families, and there is a disco on site, so you might want to contact the hotel directly and see if they can reassure you that your room is in a quiet part of the hotel.
Housekeeping wasn't brilliant - rooms were kept very clean, but often trays from other people's room service was left outside for a couple of days.
Food was OK but not brilliant - a bit disappointing, to be honest - although the breakfast buffet is something to behold. Anything you could possibly think of to eat was there.
One thing to be aware of (and it happens in other hotels as well) because the main dining room is open at the front (because it is so hot) you do get a lot of birds flying in and keen to hoover up any crumbs/leftovers on the breakfast table. It's a fact of life, but I know some people got quite stressy about it.
All in all, although there were some negatives, we had a lovely holiday and it was good enough for us to want to return the following year. We couldn't get into the Almond Beach which is why we ended up going somewhere else, but we would have returned.
Enjoy it - Barbados is lovely and the people are wonderful.
