fear all the spam and BS has chased them away.

Have you looked at Coconut Court?

I can stay almost anywhere all I need is a beach and real nice people!!

We tried Coconut Court in 2002 and found it expensive and run down in
some areas. The ASTI hotel right next door was modern, clean, right on
the beach and about half as expensive.

Correction! IIRC, it was ASTA Hotels.

Isn't the Asta now the Amaryllis?

There are pictures of Amaryllis on my webshots page.
We really liked it there

People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did, but
people will never forget how you made them feel.

If it were just me, I wouldn't be so picky. I really wouldn't care
too much about the accomodations as it would be just me, some shorts
and my camera equipment. But, I have two fussy ladies with me. LOL,
ones 4 and the other is 47. I looked at Amaryllis. It's nice! I
think I remember Sandy Bay Beach Club. It neighbored Divi if memory
serves. It was nice too.

I'm in the same boat. We're looking to try and return before the Dec
15 deadline. The last time we were in Barbados was '96 and we stayed
in Divi South Winds. We'd like to stay in a place like that again
where it's a very short walk to the beach. But, a bit more upscale
than Divi. There will be 2 adults and one child. So the room should
be sizeable enough to accomodate 3 people.

We saw zero dirt or mold what was the date of those reviews?
By chance was there several reviews from the same people?

I read some rather unfavorable reviews of Amaryllis on
tripadvisor.com. One or two negatives, I can look past, but repeated
comments about how rundown the resort is, mold, outdated and dirty
bathrooms, ciggy butts on the walkways, bird droppings on the lounge
chairs, etc. At first glance, it looks like a place we'd like, but now
I'm hesitant. Cleanliness is of the utmost importance to me, as far as
hotels go.

The reviews were from this month...July 2007. Here's the link, or you
can go to tripadvisor.com and search Amaryllis Barbados.

Some folks gave a favorable review, despite the fact that there
appeared to be some maintenance & upkeep issues. Good for them, to be
able to look past the shorfalls of the resort. I'm not so sure I could
be as generous. I don't look for things to complain about, but I would
not be comfortable with some of the issues related in these reviews.

I did go and I read them all. I found that some reviews good and bad were in the same time period.
So
You get what you pay for, one couple were going to stay at the Hilton next time LOL and another guy said I Expect a 4 star hotel.

That hotel has two buildings I wonder if that played a part.

Except for the bug issue
If you want fancy you have to pay twice what Amaryllis charges.
