There is a little market across the street. We took a taxi to a large supermarket up the road and loaded up on breakfast items because the hotel food cost is expensive. Nothing is cheap except Rum. They do not take cash for their 2 hotel restaurants so the tally is given to you at checkout with added VAT. Not many restaurants in the immediate area. Lots of kids in the pools. Nice clean hotel but won’t be back. The hotel also precharges $50. US per day for expenses.

There is a book swap in the lobby by donation to local animal shelter. Not sure about the iron in the room.

Think the other answers pretty much cover it. We only used the mugs provided but there was plenty of crockery etc. Barbados is nice but Bridgetown seemed run down from when we were last there - think they haven’t fully recovered fr on the lack of tourists during covid. As mentioned, get the shared minibuses to St George’s Gap and Oistins areas for restaurants, bars etc. Prices range from high to low depending on where you go. We had very some nice meals at two of the “better” restaurants for about £100 for two which is probably more than we’d pay in the UK but they were good! The hotel itself is in a nice but quiet location on a lovely sandy beach.
