Room is a bit dated, could be a bit cleaner. Staff were really helpful
Amazing staff! Very clean everywhere! Great proximity to the beach. Great pool and nice area to have protection from wind.So many places within walking distance and the bar has amazing cocktails...best pina colada, rum punch and strawberry daiquiri we found!
The room was clean, comfortable. The food and drinks in the Bistro was some of the best food we had. Staff were all friendly, helpful and fun. The pool was great for cooling off from the heat. Nice and close to walk to everything needed in the Gap.
Stayed 26/12/25 - 01/01/26. From the moment I got there, the greeting and the smile from Cherish was very welcoming; she was always attentive to anything we needed. The room was clean with fresh towels and the bed was quite comfortable. Also shout out to Devon the evening staff, who came right away with a request that I had for my dad. Great location, very good for the rate and I will definitely stay there again.

I really enjoyed my stay here! All of the staff were friendly and accommodating, and the room was very clean. My favorite amenities were the pool and restaurant in the building. It was very convenient and there were a lot of great options to choose from. It's also located a short walk away from the St. Lawrence Gap and Dover beach, so there's a lot of other food options to choose from. If you're traveling to Barbados, I definitely recommend staying here!
Inexpensive per night stay close to beaches and nightlife if you're going to be looking for a place just to put your head down perfect location. 100 bucks a night safe secure walk to the beach bars nightlife etc in St Lawrence Gap
Great service, Very nice staff and very clean, would got back anytime I'm inn Barbados.
I eat something at the airport and me very sick once i reach the hotel, the front desk staff was very helpful at all times.
The staff was amazing, short walk to the beach, restaurants and bars.
