Bougainvillea Barbados

Lerin P

We come to Barbados often and this is by far my favorite place we've stayed with the kids. We loved being at Bougainvillea so much we struggled to leave for activities. It's more compact than a typical beachfront resort, and it manages to feel spacious anyway. The rooms are gorgeous! Beds are soft and cozy, the view of the beach is breathtaking, and the well-stocked kitchen is a plus. Food at the resort was delicious and the poolside/beachside restaurant vibe is great for lounging all day. I love the giant chess board and swing! Sharing a beach with Sandals (next door) is also a bonus - it feels safe, well-tended and soothingly calm. For this price point we got all of the luxury and relaxation of a far pricier resort with none of its hassles.

We had a wonderful stay at Bougainvillea last week. Upon arrival at 1am, we discovered that although we booked our flight and hotel together through Orbitz the date of the hotel booking was incorrect. The staff were so accommodating and had it all sorted out quickly so we could get some rest. They were also very helpful throughout our stay, helping us with taxis, understanding the bus system, and recommending things to do. The grounds are breathtaking and the rooms are clean and comfortable. There is a place to store luggage and access to a lounge and showers if you are taking a late flight and need to use the facilities after check out. We will definitely return to Barbados and stay here!

Really disappointing experience here. The hotel is definitely not a 4 star hotel. More like 3 star hotel. Rooms are quite tired. Broken glass found outside my room one morning. Staff in restaurants very slow and stand around most of the time doing nothing, not attentive. No one to help with bags on arrival. Staff at reception quite unhelpful when it came to an issue I had with the wifi. Wife generally quite patchy and drops out frequently. Unable to arrange a 1 hour later than usual checkout despite the hotel being no where near full capacity. Bar staff quite rude and condescending aswell. Very poor experience. Beach is dirty and unswimable. Lots of other good options in Barbados for a similar price, avoid this one and go elsewhere.

Absolutely loved this hotel. From the moment we were greeted at reception to leaving we were made to feel very welcome. The ground floor room we had was brilliant. Lovely kitchen area equipped with fridge, oven, kettle and coffee machine. The 2 restaurants on site were very good. The swim up bar was perfect. The sea was easily accessible and good fun with waves because it's on the South coast. Very close to Oistins and Bridgetown. Would not hesitate to recommend and would definitely go back.

This hotel is ok and is best suited for families rather than couples. We stayed for 3 nights with out 1 year old baby. Nothing was terribly wrong but a lot of small inconvenience that adds up. You can probably find a better spot for the same price per night. Breakfast is quite slow to get a table and order an omelette, it will probably take you an hour or more. The buffet does not offer a many options and will set you back 40+$ per head. Towels at the pool were not cleaned properly and always had stains on them. You can only get a towel after 8.45/9am. Annoying when you wake up early and have kids that are eager to go swimming. Being at the south of the Island, the beach will have a lot of seaweed. It was not cleaned up really well, making the beach experience not very pleasant. The sunbed are ok. The pool area is nice, be aware that many kids are jumping and throwing balls all day. If you want a quiet time, you probably will be better off somewhere else. On the plus side, great amenities for kids with a dedicated room full of toys and games, from 1 year old to 16. Pool depth is perfect for kids. And they have babysitter at a resonable price of 15$/h. The room are spacious and were clean. However, the AC was straight above our bed, not a great place to put it. Another small annoying thing. Service was good. Our stay was ok, but we will try somewhere else and most likely won't come back.
