Pros: Everything!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Clean, friendly people, quite to relax, the nature to enjoy, it was a wonderful stay.

Pros: (2 adults 2 kids) we loved the place and truly recommend, if you are searching for what we have found: - three pools - very friendly and helpful staff (from cleaning staff, to security staff to gardener and all others) - clean and well maintained facilities. Daily room cleaning. Fully equipped kitchen. Big rooms. Good sleeping. - welcome drinks at the breathtaking private house of the hotel’s owners every Thursday - beach across the road, which you can walk at low tide to Sandy Lane Beach - rental cars available on the property, very easy, convenient as no need to bother to return car after excursion - very good restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner - Mike and his family are great hosts and the food is delicious - perfect for a dinner at the pool while kids can enjoy the pool. Two special dinners served (Italian Night and BBQ night) - the Cliff Restaurant just across the street - bus stop in front of hotel to jump on yellow bus south to Bridgetown or north to Holetown/Speightstown - fish market on the beach if you fancy fresh fish and vegetables/eggs to cook on your own in the apartment - WiFi in apartment and next to pools - and more...

Pros: The suites were beautifully laid out. We were on the first floor and the pool was our backyard. The food was delicious. They have beach chairs and umbrellas for guest to use free of charge. Beautiful beach was right across the street.

Cons: The early morning housekeeping. Make sure to put the do not disturb sign on the door unless you like 8am door banging. Shuttle to take you to Holetown only at 10 or 10:45 am which was fine for us but they didn't inform us you will need to find your way back on your own until we inquired about pick up.

Pros: Great view over the ocean. Close to Holetown. Rooms are large and well equipped.

Cons: Very noisy - other reviews have complained about the main road but in my experience the partying that goes on and roosters (starting at 3 every morning) from the neighbours makes for one not getting much sleep.

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff. Great location.

Cons: Didn’t like entrance to property. Not clearly defined or marked. Short

Pros: From the moment we arrived we felt at home. The staff could not have been more accommodating, the location is perfect and our fellow guests all seemed to be totally chilled out. We loved it.

Cons: The restaurant facilities concentrate on high end catering but there are enough options close by that it was not a problem.

Pros: Great breakfasts with champagne flowing for the whole time.....

Cons: Underwhelming reception for a returning guest...

Pros: The location and the overall atmosphere of the hotel. The friendly staff and the way you are made to feel special.

Pros: Chilled out hotel with 1sr class staff

Cons: Nothing to dislike

Pros: From the moment we arrived, Sandra, Michelle and staff made us feel like family. We enjoyed every single second at Little Arches and are already planning our next trip back. The sea view room with our own private pool was heavenly, and the food at Cafe Luna was delicious. We have never met such friendly staff, I would recommend this hotel in a heartbeat! x

Cons: Nothing. We loved everything (but the rum punch welcome drink was a clear winner)

Pros: Great staff, very helpfull. Room was very clean and stylish. The Luna restaurant is very good. Short walk to the beach and to town. Many resturants nearby.

Cons: Can not think of a single things.

Pros: The staff at Little Arches is absolutely amazing! I have never felt more welcome at a hotel than I did here. I was celebrating a special birthday so I received a room upgrade, a small gift and they decorated my room while I was out at my birthday dinner! They couldn't be more helpful. I didn't have to lift a finger while I was there. The food at the restaurant was really fabulous too.

Cons: The only downside of Little Arches for me was that there weren't other restaurants within walking distance. However, the St. Lawrence Gap area is just a 10 minute cab ride away.

Pros: Lovely property, great location near the beach and Oisitins, fab food and the most fantastic staff. We could not have wished for a more perfect wedding and holiday!

Pros: Great location for a tranquil stay. Just a few steps to the beautiful beach. The Hotel set up sunbeds and Parasols on the beach each day and can organize a drinks cooler which was ideal as the beach food/drinks van wasn`t operating when we visited. The Restaurant located at the Hotel has a fabulous setting and the food was excellent.

Cons: Minor point but the courtesy room would benefit from AC

Pros: the staff was super friendly. quiet neighborhood. well kept place.

Cons: nothing

Pros: Room is spacious and beautifully appointed. Bed is comfortable. Bathroom is wonderful. Two sinks is a lovely arrangement.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Staff was friendly, attentive and gracious. Rooms were spacious and clean. Love we had a microwave and refrigerator in room.

Cons: The beach waves were rough and rocky seabed. Wish they had more night entertainments at the hotel. No elevator but stairs were not bad. Needed more varieties on menu.

Pros: I loved the breakfast! It had a great variety and it was on the beach. Hearing and seeing the ocean was lovely.

Cons: Consistent ice water would have been great.

Pros: Love the friendly hotel and restaurant staff.

Cons: Definitely need elevators as I was on the 4th floor and had to climb 48 stairs each time! Cable did not work and gave fire stick and that didn’t work either. TV kept going out and repeating the same words which was annoying . Had to give me a cell phone as room phone did not work. Could use an update to the rooms such as tiles on floors in tub, bathroom and all rooms.

Pros: The hotel is beachfront, nicely laid out, comfy, clean.

Cons: It does not protect the guests from taxi overcharging - the only country I've been to (and I've been to many) where taxi fare from the airport to the hotel is cheaper than from the hotel to the airport!! Taxi overall is expensive, and there are no cheaper alternatives for families. Ocean waves were all the time too choppy to swim. Hotel could use renovation.

Pros: Facility was clean and the staffs were friendly, always willing to assist.

Cons: Breakfast. My toast was burned and I asked for medium cooked eggs but got something before over easy. Totally uncooked.

Pros: Very clean rooms, comfortable, nice terrace with a nice view.

Cons: A lot of seaweed on the beach, no breakfast included.

Pros: It room was extremely well furnished. Impeccable bathrooms.

Cons: Personally: cats around the property.

Pros: Staff attitude was very professional and accommodating. Service in every department was excellent. Location of our room (4th floor no elevator) was challenging at times. Mother Nature did not cooperate with rough ocean that made our beach adventures difficult. First time that we visit the island of Barbados and we hope we can come back next year again!

Cons: Location of our room(4th floor).

Pros: Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Good location, 5 minutes drive to St Lawrence Gap, etc. Amenities such as gym were very good. Great pool area and a step away from Maxwell beach.

Cons: Wi-Fi connectivity wasn't good in our room and kept on fluctuating and disconnecting. No complimentary tea / coffee in the rooms.

Pros: Great location. Staff and everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. Clean hotel and facilities.

Cons: The menu at the restaurant was limited and nothing to write home about.

Pros: The resort was beautiful and in an excellent location! Gorgeous flowers! Two lovely pools and steps away from a beautiful sandy beach. It was extremely well maintained and had all the amenities we needed with a full kitchen. We loved sitting on our balcony and having breakfast or lunch and listening to the ocean and viewing the grounds. The staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. Nightly music was nice to listen to either poolside or in the restaurant. We had a wonderful dinner in one of the restaurants and they provide take out if needed. A grill was on the property if you wanted to barbeque. Easy to walk to the bus stop to tour around or the hotel provides a shuttle on some days to the grocery store in town. A wonderful holiday!

Cons: It would have been nice if there were more kids activities available outside, such as table tennis. There was a very nice kids room but it was in the basement of the resort, out of the way of the main activities. The little park across the street had a small play set and the highlight was the tortoise and the hare living there! Maybe you could offer a kids movie under the stars one night?

Cons: Cleanliness poor

Pros: Extremely comfortable apartment. Very clean with everything in it you could wish for as a self catering apartment. So lovely to be right on the beach!

Pros: This is the place for discerning travellers. It has the best of everything and so far seems to be a well kept secret. It’s right on a little section of beautiful beach where you can take one of the properties sun loungers and pick your spot for the day. All free and exclusive. Fabulous surf beach with surf school next door but one. Security is superb even though no sign of it being needed. Everyone is friendly and welcoming with a great night at Scoopies jazz bar to be had if you like live music within walking distance. Cyrus gave us all the help and advice we needed right from the point of booking. Cannot recommend WSB highly enough!

Cons: Going home!

Pros: We were given a tour of facilities at check in. The unit had 2 full bathrooms and a pull out bed in the front room. Central A/C and extremely clean and modern. Laundry facilities inside the room for easy access. The beach at rear was spectacular saw turtles swimming.

Cons: Pool was too cold (April) however property on the beach so we went on the beach which was even better. Next door had a cash bar for easy access to drinks. Parking was tight but doable.

Pros: Cyrus was awesome. Friendly, proactive and responsive.

Pros: very comfortable apartment directly on beach easy walking distance to St Lawrence gap (lots restaurants) large balcony great ocean view

Cons: pricey

Pros: The condo is well maintained and well appointed. The staff is responsive and professional. I was ill during my stay and couldn't have been in a better location to rest.

Cons: The beach was inaccessible during our visit. Not the fault of the condo-but still disappointing.

Pros: We had a wonderful stay at White Sand Beach Condos with our 16 month little girl. The apartment was extremely clean, modern and well furnished. The location was excellent, right on a quiet and beautiful beach. The staff were helpful and friendly and we felt very at home.

Pros: Very pretty, good location, a lot of places to eat close by. Right on a beach. Close to the airport and good security.

Cons: The description should say all one bedroom units were partial ocean views only. The balcony looked over a parking lot and had to lean over the railing to see the ocean. The music was loud at night in our unit towards the back of the building.

Pros: This place is fabulous. It really feels like home. The staff treats you like family. My bajan family visited and did not want to leave. I had an exceptional stay!

Pros: Staff were incredibly friendly and hotel in good location

Cons: Rooms damp and not very clean. Had to move because first room offered on ground floor was so damp. Decor and furniture very old, bathrooms not nice and generally all internal areas in need of upgrading and refurbishment. Food not great and probably one of the worse breakfasts I have ever eaten at a hotel.

Pros: The staff make this place - very friendly and welcoming, always keen to help. Without the staff this would be a very limited and over priced experience.

Cons: For the price (if you pay the rack rate) there are much better places in the Caribbean. While the rooms are perfectly pleasant and the hotel is small, so more personal, the food is pretty terrible for the quality of place and takes a long time to come.

Cons: Food

Pros: Nothing at all apart from the location.

Cons: nothing apart from the location. very disappointing. I am well travelled and would not recommend this hotel. iIt is very tired and in need of total refurbishment. Dining room staff very poorly trained. Service extremely poor. Food very disappointing - Don't stay here.

Pros: Very polite and accommodating staff absolutely breathtaking decor

Cons: Too little options at the restaurant Pool opening hours too limited

Cons: Pilows could be softer Food could improve

Pros: All rooms have an ocean view and are in very close proximity to the ocean. Additionally the staff are very helpful - particularly the cleaning staff.

Cons: There is no gym/exercise area. This was a big issue for all of us as we had to go offsite to another hotel. They should convert the “rarely used” small restaurant into a gym. Small double beds should be upgraded to Queen at least. Decor is very dated but that’s not really an issue.

Pros: We really loved the location and the resort. There is an added convenience of staying in a smaller, more quaint resorts, and short-distance walking from the front desk to the studio room, and to the beach in a matter of minutes!

Cons: The breakfast menu and food quality needs improvement. I did not like baked beans as an item choice- and it was actually pork& beans. The hash browns should be prepared using fresh potatoes, instead of frozen brown & serve potatoes, and the bacon was not quality or cooked well.

Pros: The coffee

Cons: Bar was barely attended

Pros: Lovely little hotel, all the staff are friendly and helpful, the cleaning ladies are lovely. The hotel is immaculate, good location about a 10 minute walk (maximum) to St Lawrence and about 10 minute walk to Accra beach. This was our 4th visit to the island and our first stay at coral sands, we will be back to stay at coral sands ❤️

Pros: Location Location Location

Cons: Needs a bit of updating

Pros: The rooms are large, great kitchen, bathroom, bed, balcony, views. We rented a car but unless you want to discover the island you won't need one. Stores, restaurants are within walking distance.

Cons: The restaurant for breakfast was ridiculously expensive. The food was Okay, we only had one breakfast.

Pros: There was nothing not to like. Hotel is adjacent to the beach has a nice pool area and our room had a nice outside space. Reception went out of their way to give us an early check in.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: New to all the bars and fantastic restaurants.

Cons: Its got everything you need on the beach beautiful views, not the biggest. hotel but clean.& comfortable and the staff couldn’t do enough for you. Brilliant beach bar just around the corner called the Carib. Nice for just chilling would say not for young children.

Pros: average breakfast - nothing special. We get clean room as it i expected for extremely high price and 5 star hote

Cons: beach is not nice, restaurant is poor quality. It is shame that you are so overpriced. I compare you with Coral Reef Club where we stay 2 weeks over New Year and than we moved to your hotel where we expect much higher quality as we pay it significantly more expensive that Coral Reef Club where we had breakfast and dinner (and New Year dinner) included in price. You are only hotel who charged me 100% upfront payment.

Pros: Execelent service, good food, problem solvers, great facilities, one of the best hotels I've gone too in terms of service and commitment to the guest's experience. Will love to go back with my family. Very happy with our stay.

Pros: Fantastic view from room with wonderful sunsets. The room was quiet and comfortable.

Cons: The food was generally disappointing and expensive.

Pros: You can see that this hotel does all it can to meet your every need. We will be coming back to this hotel, this hotel has no faults.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location and beach. Room renovation. Deck off room overlooking ocean. Property maturity and grace. The staff is not intrusive. Breakfast buffet was plentiful and the fruit and made to order eggs excellent. The concierge staff nice, but we had made our dinner reservations ahead of arrival. Had we not, there would have been trouble finding reservations. Many luxury resorts email guests prior to arrival with restaurant and attractions info offering to make arrangements in advance.

Cons: For the astronomic rates, including the ground floor room location surcharge, expectations of more amenities was disappointing, such as the absence of a stocked minibar in the room or complimentary drinks in rooms and beach. Many Caribbean resorts with similarly beautiful locations offer equal privacy with better attention to detail. The room mini fridge was empty throughout our stay and a note in the room apologized for it. However, after checking out, I noticed an additional room charge on my credit card. When I emailed the hotel I was told the charge was for mini-bar consumption! Clearly a human error, but one that is unacceptable for a resort of this kind. With a few notable exceptions, the staff was flat-affected and tired looking and the breakfast buffet understaffed. That is, service could be significantly more attentive. The main restaurants cannot be confused with prime dining. Our server was an itinerant young lady who was being bounced bounced between the two and openly confessed not to be familiar with the menu. Despite these constructive criticisms, we had a good time.

Pros: The food was all fresh, best I have ever eaten. The staff made us feel so at home. The grounds were surrounded by a tropical garden with tall palm trees. The place was impeccably clean. All restaurants and the bar were open air right beside the beach. We had a view of the beautiful Caribbean ocean the entire time. We will definitely stay there again when we return soon.

Cons: Nothing the best vacation I have ever had, and it was the first time that I travelled out of the United,States

Pros: It had a nice beach and our villa was very comfortable.

Cons: The breakfast room is very tired and needs a complete renovation.

Pros: The staff was friendly and always smiling.

Cons: Everything was lovely

Pros: Hotel location and renovated bedroom including balcony - direct beach view - the old and new Bajan Staff

Cons: Some of the changes being made have reduced the attraction to a number of regular guests - this includes stopping the Sunday BBQ, the new changes to the reception decore detract from the Colonial feel of the property and having breakfast in the Palm Restuarant rather than Tobaras Restauarant seems a backward step. In addition some of the furniture in the Palm Reatauarant is old and tired with rips in the leather - also the Managers Cocktail Party is not followed by the normal buffet which was well received by past guests. I feel that the new owners of the Fairmont albeit having spent millions on the room renovations (which are lovely) are reducing the appeal of a Bajan favourite by increasing room rates after December 2018 but at the same time taking away some of the Bajan feel (including the complimentary afternoon tea to 1 complimentary within 7 day stay) The Bajan staff continue to be lovely and a joy to guests old and new but the German Accor Hotels Management in situ (a German Lady) seems to be making changes for changes sake which is a backward step to many guests of long standing

Pros: The rooms were EXTREMELY clean which is my top priority when choosing a hotel. They were very modern and upscale especially the bathroom with the push bottom rain shower and the bedroom with the cedar closets and the remote controlled air conditioning unit.

Cons: My only cons were that one of our two rooms was not ready on time but one was so we stayed there until the other was ready. They gave us a small bottle of champagne for our inconvenience. The other con was that that there were not enough restaurants on the property. The ones there had excellent food and perfect service but were very expensive. Spent over $200 USD for 4 of us per meal.

Pros: The beach is absolutely gorgeous! The rooms have great views and are very nicely decorated and spacious. The link hotel looks beautiful against its turquoise beach background and surrounded by tropical flowers. Most people that work there are friendly (not all). Swimming with turtles and complimentary afternoon tea!

Cons: The menus could be updated with local cuisine. While the food is ok, the options are a little tired.

Pros: Hands down the BEST vacation my wife & I have even taken! The grounds were pristine. The staff were extremely welcoming, helpful and made us feel right at home. Debra (gift shop/tour booking agent) is AMAZING!! Food was fabulous! We cannot day enough about Butterfly Hotel. We will be back VERY SOON! Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

Cons: Everything was fantastic!

Pros: Hmmmm. The girl that checked us out was nice.

Cons: Location. Beach was very hard to get to. We were treated like we were not welcome Room was very hot. Not the cleanest.

Pros: Right on the Beach! Small beach and chairs available for your use, not crowded. Comfortable, clean room with kitchenette. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Debra was amazing! She arranged for us see everything we wanted in the short time we were there! She says " I know a guy", a quick phone call, and off we go! Thanks Debra! 10 mins to the airport. 15 minute walk to Oistins Fish Fry.

Cons: The Whirlpools were not heated, and dirty.

Pros: Clean with friendly staff in a lovely location . It had really well equipped kitchen for all that really need.

Cons: There was nothing to not like.

Pros: I really loved the view! It was well priced considering that we were just there for the night due to heading out the next morning to go to the Sandals resort. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Pros: Location and staff

Cons: We were happy with everything considering the price paid

Cons: I did not like the fact that the room advertised a king size bed but instead had two twin beds pushed together - which proved to be a bit uncomfortable as you can't sleep in the middle of two beds.

Pros: Proximity to the beach is optimal, the service staff is amazing and breakfast is lovely. The ocean view studio is very cute and comes with a stove, plates and cutlery if one is interested in cooking for oneself. This was a pleasant surprise.

Cons: The pool is not the biggest, and after having stayed at Accra Beach Hotel it was just basic but this is not a deal killer. The beach that the hotel occupies is not the the calmest but this is the south coast of the island and that's what you get. The walls are a bit thin and some adjoining rooms might have guests that are sticklers for quiet and your noisy child might drive them crazy :) Other than those minor things, they're really no downsides to this hotel.

Pros: I liked the hotel and location which was quite close to oistins The staff where very friendly, the rooms were cleaned every day I liked that the hotel was by the ocean and that we could sit on the deck chairs facing the ocean as well as having 3 jacuzzis and two pools , I would definitely return to the butterfly beach hotel and I would recommend it to friends and family .

Cons: Everything

Pros: The staff at the restaurant were hit and miss, some of the older women would barely acknowledge you and just had horrible customer service. Check out took a long time, I had been double charged and they made me really prove it before checking their systems to confirm and made me wait around while it happened. Room was lovely - very spacious. Bed was literally two stuck together so given the option again I wouldn’t select king as there’s no way to sleep across them comfortably! Location is fine - bit of a walk into town either direction (15/20mins) to the nearest grocery / restaurant. Staff want to put you in cabs all the time but I wish I knew sooner the bus was right out the front - so cheap and really good! So much wasted money on taxis getting around.

Cons: Went through it above

Pros: Staff were very friendly and efficient.

Cons: Breakfast seemed very expensive if all you wanted a bit to eat - e.g. coffee and toast or fruit.

Pros: The room is ok.

Cons: Completely poor service. Nobody cares about any of your requests. The transfer was supposed to be organized by hotel but nobody came - and no excuses at all. Main restaurant is awful. Sea view room in fact was a pool and roof view, and very little of the sea. Had to ask for making-up the room for three times. Lots of disappointment. We left this hotel 2 nights earlier, and spoke to a manager asking for refund - no reaction. We even didn't receive a final statement. The location is not really great - lots of waves and windy.

Pros: Super friendly staff. High quality. Everything was tip top. Intend to return.

Cons: Board games not readily available. Crisps, nuts, olives etc to have with the excellent all inclusive drinks would have been very well received

Pros: We were really impressed by the hotel. The staff were all helpful and friendly, the location was great (including great white beaches), the food choice every day was very good, the cocktails were great. It was also helpful to have the different pools to relax in, with beach towels supplied.

Cons: Maybe more info online if the facilities (only a small thing).

Pros: The food was exceptional and a really varied menu staff very friendly and polite always trying to help

Cons: The fact that you couldn't smoke on

Pros: The beach is one of the best I've ever seen. The views are incredible. Great location. Food not bad at all for an all inclusive - something we loved everyday. We would come back.

Cons: All the restaurant staff were amazing but the reception staff have a lot to live up to. Very slow. I asked for towels 5 times before I got it. We booked trips but no one told us when we were departing (despite asking 3 times!) No one knew anything. I found a few of them a bit rude. That said, everyone else was a delight. Very friendly.

Pros: I really enjoyed the size of the rooms and the fact that you can have 2 rooms communicating together. We were a family of 7 and it was perfect. The rooms and facilities were always clean and well maintained. There were some great events at the small bar of the hotel with great people teaching us about Barbados. Shawn from guest services was extremely great at booking us the right excursions. The location of the hotel and proximity of the beach was fantastic. We were very happy about the 'smaller' type of hotel/resort, with 3 pools and direct access to the beach. Finally we met some great people from multiple different countries and made some new friends.

Cons: It felt as though not all of the staff at the hotel is happy to be working in the service industry. When you choose a hotel you are looking for the best experience that will make you want to go back but not all of the staff felt as though this was their mission or values. From a cuisine perspective, both a la carte restaurant need better quality and better variety. Breakfast were great but dinner options were limited and not tasty. We ended eating out on multiple nights which makes a trip more expensive when you pay for all inclusive. There are some quite good restaurants on the island so hotels need to follow as well.

Pros: The beach was amazing!

Cons: The restaurants and the food served was not very good. It was quite annoying having to book a table every night and not being able to eat whenever we wanted to.

Pros: Overall, we all loved our 5 night stay here at Sea Breeze Hotel. The resort isn't super large or populated, so it has a nice intimate feel to it overall, and you quickly get to know the lovely staff and other visitors. The beach is very nice, with good chairs, and is right in front of the hotel. They served us drinks us on the beach which was a first for us. We spent most of our time their. The rooms we stayed in were recently renovated (or it was a new building), so we were very happy with their quality. Pretty much all of the food was spectacular too.

Cons: My partner and I, and another couple, were traveling together. So when booking, instead of getting 2 separate individual rooms, we saw that we could save some money by getting a shared room that had 2 separate bedrooms each having a large bed in each (and we didn't mind sharing a bathroom and living area so this made sense for us). That is how the room is listed on book.com. But when we arrived, we were not happy to see that one of the rooms had 2 single beds in it. This was a very difficult problem to resolve, because the on site management could not provide us with the room that we had booked through this site. At first they actually challenged me, and asked me to provide proof of the room that I booked. Luckily me being the paranoid person that I am - I had proof. I also even took the initiative to add a special request in the booking that we were 2 couples who each wanted a room with a single large bed because I had read other reviews where people did not get the room that they thought they booked - which didn't matter. Since we arrived at 7 pm, and nobody on site has any power to change anything, we had to wait until 8 a.m. the next morning until their central office was open to get it resolved. So for the first night my partner and I slept in two single beds quite reluctantly. It turns our after some very hard debating (I'm a very stubborn person, and I felt wronged by this, and I wasn't going to settle until they accommodated to our needs), we learned t problem is this sort of room configuration does NOT EXIST at all, which we found out the next day when the marketing manager came on site. Aka they are false advertising on book.com, so be careful what you book. I am happy to say though that eventually they did resolve our issue, and ended up giving us two separate rooms that were conjoined - which I greatly appreciate.

Pros: Accommodation was modern and brightly decorated after a recent refurbishment. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Excellent location and beach lovely.

Pros: Everything. From the moment we arrived, Geri was absolutely the perfect hostess. Attentive, but not overley so, which is just what you need after a long flight to get orientated.

Cons: That we couldn't have stayed longer. The guesthouse was brilliant and Steve and Geri the most interesting couple to talk to.

Pros: The staff is very polite, helpful and friendly. The breakfast was awesome. Loved it! Will definitely go again and recommend this place to anyone.

Pros: Such a lovely couple , very nice breakfast

Pros: Late check-in was possible, bed wes very comfortable!, the host was very kind and made really good breakfast. For example she had scrambled egg with fresh herbs which I liked a lot, and some good coffee :) Also thank you for taking care of me when I had a sunstroke <3 I felt like I was in good hands!

Cons: I missed soap in the bathroom

Pros: Pleasant and near beach, shop and bar

Cons: If you arrive on Sundays, there’s nowhere to get dinner!

Pros: Geri and Steve are so welcoming and Geri's Breakfasts are top of the shop! Thanks so much for an amazing kiting week!

Pros: The owner was very welcoming and the breakfast she prepared at 4 AM delicious and highly appreciated.

Cons: A bit pricey for a simple room. No food or drinks options, we remained hungry after arriving with an evening flight for a transit stay only. We luckily had some chocolate ourselves.

Pros: The contact from the owners was quick and helpful. It was just what I thought I was booking. Close to the airport and still good for a stroll to the beach

Pros: Pleasant owners/ very helpful and a great breakfast !!

Cons: Wish we had an extra pillow small issue but with back issue that would have been great

Pros: We loved all the amenities that came with the all inclusive. We took advantage of all the water sports and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves

Cons: What’s not to like? It was amazing! I will say 84° helps also

Pros: The hotel is located in an excellent location. The breakfast was very good and so was lunch.

Cons: The rooms were very dated and traffic, staff were very noisey in the mornings waking us up at 5am coming into work. We did complain about the staff which did help a bit but after a couple of days they went back to there normal selves. The pictures on the web site are very misleading and the property is not on the beach as is looks. The food is ok but not that great. Breakfast as the best meal of the day.

Pros: Everything was done in a timely manner. The staff was amazing. We celebrated our anniversary and the Staff (Jeanette Mayers) went above and beyond. The General Manager was very accommodating as well. Excellent experience ❤❤

Cons: The meals could have had more diversity.

Pros: A lovely hotel in a great location. Food was excellent. Staff very welcoming and friendly.

Cons: No free wifi in the rooms. Service was often patchy.

Pros: The location and nearby beaches

Cons: Beds were quite hard for our liking. Evening dinner reservation system was a pain

Pros: The food... just amazing choices and quality!.. Enids is such a beautiful restaurant with excellent food!

Cons: Only stayed 3 nights.... given the location, food and things to do... at least week stay would be best!

Pros: The location was great in Bennet’s on the west coast

Cons: Unfortunately the hotel has no policy regarding sunbeds. Some guests were getring up at 430am in the morning to reserve a spot. We complained to the hotel and they didn’t seem to care.

Pros: the food is very good and the majority of staff,

Cons: my room, no mirror to put make up on with or suitable plugs near a mirror to do hair,room was tatty,and wifi was charged for even though I'm a genius member, the lady manger there is not easy,even though i had print out, to say i would get free wifi,she chagerd me for 1 week in 3,

Pros: The food was good. The location was good. The hotel upgraded our room to a sea view which was very nice of them, a pleasant surprise.

Cons: The staff has a generally BAD attitude. Don't expect a smile or any courtesy from the staff. Oh a few of the older staff members were pleasant but the young team members had a real bad attitude. The place does not have a beach on site, a big disappointment. This wasn't entirely clear in the description. They need to improve the follow up cleaning around the poolside and heavier guest centric gathering spots. We usually cleared tables, emptied the ashtray, removed towels, etc in these places because service was slow/non-existent. Keep your expectations low , get a rock bottom bargain price and you my feel you got your money's worth.

Pros: The employees are sincerely pleasant and the sunsets are amazing.

Cons: The free WiFi is limited to a few areas only and had poor signal strength. The paid WiFi (US$50/7 days) worked all over the property and even reached the beach but sometimes with a poor signal especially in our oceanfront room. Too many smokers near the building.

Pros: Great location, bright clean room, nice kitchenette

Cons: noise from next door appartment through the door from the bedroom

Pros: The property was well kept; staff were very accommodating; area was somewhat quiet.

Cons: The studio was not acceptable; but that was what I booked; can't blame you. The loud music/bar sounds

Pros: The place was spacious and clean. I like having the use of a clean stove so that I could make my own breakfast in the mornings

Cons: Not having the air conditioner in the sitting area where moast of the time is spent except for sleeping.

Pros: The location of the hotel was in the heart of the gap

Pros: Nice place but the wifi was awful. With international travelers needing to connect this must be improved.

Cons: first night was not comfortable but was taken care of the following day

Pros: Great place! well located, don't even need to leave your room to hear live jazz music pool is great! Apartment is also well secured and locked at night time

Cons: Staff mostly unhappy, bar staff absolutely hopeless

Pros: Meeting family members from different sides of the world

Cons: Old outdated very poor wifi Needs a massive over haul Be careful when paying this hotel over charged us in excess of 220 US dollars.they didn’t accept that over charges were made I suggest you pay your account in cash US dollars.they will charge you bds $ then convert into US dollars to totally benefit them selves even though we had a quoted price for the holiday.

Pros: Location was good,but I'd like to try Midwest next time cause I hear the water is calmer.the resort is beautiful and clean but the rooms should be larger and not have an A.C. directly above a bed. Mom got very sick there which caused a huge damper on vacation.

Cons: A larger room with A.C. not directly above the bed.

Pros: We stayed at this hotel with our 3 month old daughter. It was our first trip abroad with her, and we had a fantastic week. The hotel and beach are beautiful. The food and drink is wonderful. The staff are all absolutely lovely. Everyone was so very warm and welcoming. We were very grateful for all the kindness.

Pros: The location for activities (The Gap) was prime.

Cons: The beach is horrible. We had to go to another location to actually enjoy the beach. It’s not the blue water beach. It’s by rocks, so it’s choppy and brown.

Pros: Everything

Pros: Relaxed atmosphere. Green monkeys playing on the golf course could be viewed in the Morning from the patio. Apartment was clean with all amenities as advertised.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Quiet

Cons: Probably needs a bit of painting

Pros: Convenient Clean

Cons: Distance of restaurant from apartment.

Pros: The bed was extremely comfortable

Cons: No microwave. Shower door could not be kept closed, all of the water was coming out on the bathroom floor. Telephone in the room not working. The door was squeaking every time opened. The kitchen garbage receptacle under the stove was too tall.

Pros: The location of the hotel and the area we stayed in was lovely. The gardens of the hotel were nicely kept

Cons: There were a number of problems. Main disappointment was that the main pool bar was closed for renovation. In fairness drinks were available some of time (not always though) in the activities shop by pool. However our enjoyment of the pool diminished by noise from sanding machines, drilling and hammering. We were never informed of this prior to our arrival. All we got from management at hotel was a short "sorry" - no offer of compensation. Also going on at same time was painting of communal areas which included our corridor so on a few occasions when leaving our room we were greeted with strong smell of paint. Housekeeping was very hit and miss. On a couple of occasions our room wasn't made up and we had to complain. Also floor tiling in corridors was not kept cleaned. On one occasion returned from day out to find housekeeper had left our room door open. Water pressure in the shower was only just about adequate. Hot water in bathroom sink even when on full just about reached luke warm. Internet connection very poor in our room. A minor annoyance only was lack of any guide for TV channels either on the remotes or by way of a separate list. When we asked at reception for one told they could not supply one.

Pros: I liked that the rooms had kitchenettes I wish that our room would’ve had a hair dryer I liked the swimming pool and access to beach. I liked that there was a restaurant/bar nearby the beach. I like the towel services. I like that we were able to store our luggage because we got there before check-in time and were able to store our luggage and still use the beach until we flew out late evening

Cons: The service and length of time to get lunch at the restaurant took 2 1/2 hours ....:( We gave the restaurant a second try and ate dinner there that night it also took 2 1/2 hours :(

Pros: Good location in middle of St Lawrence Gap Excellent bar and restaurant on beach with lovely sea views Beds on beach at no extra charge Nice warm pool Room included separate living area with kitchen and sofa bed Large enough for 3 adults

Cons: The hotel had building work going on and seemed a little tired in places but we did go in low season

Pros: The people who work there are friendly and helpful. The many return guests add to the “family” feeling which makes you want to come back. Free internet and a lovely beach. I enjoyed the beach restaurant and the happy hour was not to be missed.

Cons: Although the room was recently upgraded there were several poorly designed features, bathroom taps that were not out far enough to get your hands under, a fridge with the wrong swing door so you couldn’t reach inside. Awful chairs for deck uncomfor

Pros: We booked a superior suite and were more than satisfied with the facilities offered the rooms were ultra clean and well maintained and the kitchen had everything required including a full sized refrigerator and freezer and full sized cooker also a microwave and toaster. The staff at all levels were very friendly and efficient and we have no hesitation in recommending this hotel for a relaxing holiday,The beach was fully provided with ample recliners and sun shades and was a 5 minute walk through the grounds with an adjacent restaurant.Plenty of choice with eateries within a 5 minute walk.

Cons: Coffee was provided but no tea!!!

Pros: The location was good to walk to the strip called St Lawrence Gap which has local bars and restaurants.

Cons: The shower pressure was low.

Cons: Room over looked carpark. Sofa bed very uncomfortable. Reception staff very miserable and unhelpful.

Pros: The room was Awesome and pool area.

Cons: The cleaning of the room was late so once I return back to my room it was time for me to relax

Pros: The staff was very accommodating and friendly.

Cons: None at all.

Cons: The WiFi and water pressure wasn't that great at all... WiFi was the worst ever...

Pros: The hotel was clean, reception staff very helpful and friendly. The grounds where well kept.

Cons: Restaurant and bar staff where rude. The beach wasn’t a true reflection of Barbados. The sea was very rough and not suitable for swimming. I wouldn’t recommend it for children (not the hotels fault) unfortunately St Lawrence Gap is now extremely unsafe at night time and very run down. Again not the hotels fault but I booked there for the convenience of the bars and restaurants near by which where very unsafe to walk to being constantly harassed by taxi’s drug dealers and unsavoury characters, beggars etc. I was disappointed that these people where able to harass us on the beach also without sufficient security from the hotel.

Pros: Amazing location. Good service. Was not crowded.

Cons: The restaurant did not have much options.

Pros: Cleanness

Cons: My colleague was in a different building than I and during my reservation I requested the same building apartment

Pros: Cheap, in St Lawrence Gap, walking distance to restaurants and beaches. Staff was very friendly

Cons: pool was small compared to pictures, Beach chairs could do with some cleaning. No night time activities.

Pros: Good service Great location. Near to everything but not directly in the midst so it was not noisy Great price. Comfortable room. Staff friendly.

Cons: The beach was too rough in the area just by the property. Lots of crabs crawling around. Bathroom facilities a bit dated, so faucets were leaking. Towels a bit rough. Breakfast options could have been better. No cutlery in rooms, only 2 tea cups with saucer and spoon. Had to improvise for plates and knives.

Pros: My stay was good I liked the room that I was in it was cool and comfortable. The office staff very helpful..all around..good restaurant food very good..staff there too. they all call you by your name that I liked when you are called by your name is like if you are family. I will go back there to stay in a hearth beat no problem..

Cons: There was noting that I did not like..all good..

Pros: too expensive. location was good.

Cons: needs to be updated.

Pros: Cleanliness of the room

Cons: No bottled water in the room

Pros: The privacy

Cons: The location

Pros: The Area was blissful. The Staff at the restaurant was pleasant.

Cons: Too many crabs, literally crabs, running around near the pool and even in the hotel (ground floor). There was one particular server who took the time to point out the guests ignorance in relation to where breakfast is being held. Generally, the experience was ok. A few things could improve the experience all together. In room 204 there were no electrical outlets for phone charging. Literally none! you had to charge your phone in the kitchenette which was away from the bed. The Television was not working. There was a serious buzzing sound and the cable card was disable. However it was fixed after 2 complaints. Mind you, one is expected to check in at 4PM and check out at 12pm which means one looses 4 hours out of 24hours, and yet find so many issues with the bedroom. The air condition unit electrical switch was labelled as water heater, which caused us confusion because we wanted to turn off the air condition unit since the remote was not working, but could not until we figure out the electrical switch was indeed the air condition switch. The safety box was non-functioning, and even though there was an electrical iron, there was no electrical switch available close by to iron. you were required to use the one in the kitchenette. Of course the electrical iron pulls more current so we were uncertain whether the electrical outlet could handle the demands of the iron, so we refused. I, too, have a business, and do not want the entire hotel to be deemed unpleasant, so this is not to criticize but to highlight to improve. I would stay again. However, there are so much hotel close by that makes the business very competitive, so a very simple thing could cause to lose guests especially when there are literally over 20 hotels very close by.
