Great location in the Gap. Good sized rooms, basic but very clean, have everything you need in rooms, staff are helpful and friendly. Nice pool area. This our 2nd visit. In the last 4 Bajan holidays. Restaurant is okay, revamped nicely, preferred the sports bar that was owned by the hotel a few years back. But that's just personal choice. Would come back again. Great value for money

This hotel is extremely basic, with subpar amenities and service that often don't work and slow to respond. While the location near The Gap offers plenty of action, it's only suitable if you're out all day and just need a place to sleep—not for relaxation or comfort.

We stayed at Time Out for a week at the end of July 2024. Overall our experience with the staff was great - security stayed late to check us in and get us to our room after we were delayed 9 hours, the dinner restaurant staff was cheerful and the cleaning crew were friendly and courteous! The daytime front desk staff and breakfast crew at the restaurant were barely engaged and appeared disinterested in helping us with questions about the area or when ordering food. The rooms were great with a large mini fridge, ice cold air conditioner and excellent patio view! The absolute best part - there's a cat who wanders off and on site who is adorable and sweet. We saw him 3-4 of the nights we were there.

Jennelle Sinckler

Quite disappointed in the unprofessional and lack of regard shown to us. After being assigned a room, we were then informed that we have to wait... for what, we were never told. We played the waiting game for well over 30mins while others came and went to their rooms! Totally unacceptable and to add insult to injury the ignorant nonverbal inconsiderate woman at the front desk proceeded to ignore us and our many requests to find out why we were waiting for a room 1.5hrs later! This is the worst I've ever seen and truthfully anyone who is considering a "cheaper" way for one night, DO NOT do this place. I'm a bajan living oversees and I do not appreciate the treatment and delays i have experienced here! Never again!!!!!

My wife and I stayed there July 2024 and I must say I totally enjoyed myself. Shawn from the breakfast crew was very helpful to my family and Shawn the pool guy kept the pool very clean...the morning cleaning staff that took care of room 203, kept that room in order....see u guys next year...management there all are deserving of a raise...... . .

I stayed one night at Worthing Court Apartment Hotel. The staff were very accommodating. They granted me a 2 hour early check in (I checked out at 7.30 a.m. next day). The apartment itself was clean. The water pressure was poor but manageable. The property grounds need some maintenance for eg. Pressure washing The property is in a great location and near the beach. Overall, my stay was good.

Mike Chapman

Lovely apartments, perfect for a reasonably priced visit to Barbados. Close to a narrow sandy beach (Worthing) and a short from a lovely beach with chairs and a bar (Rockley). On the cheap bus from just outside the airport with friendly drivers (under 10 Barbados dollars) and with a decent supermarket next door. Friendly staff and a great breakfast included. Decent small pool.

Michelle jones

Very clean, spacious apartment we had a 1 bedroom suite. Cleaned every day. Very friendly staff.Central location. We even got to see the monkeys.

Christine W

I didn't stay here, but I went with family and friends for a night of karaoke. Small place, very small menu. The food was ok. Macbites were good, a little dark but not burnt, the fish cakes were overly salty and spicy, and the marie rose sause was not made properly.

Jules Cates (Jules)

My stay at Worthing Court was a pleasant one with friendly and welcoming staff in beautiful maintained surroundings My room was well appointed with all the amenities for self catering...full kitchenette with coffee/tea station with an electric kettle and complimentary bottled waters, nice comfortable bed and big shower, all rooms have a patio/balcony. Ideally located within the area of conveniences of the beach, restaurants/bars, shops, banks, petrol station 24 hours, public transport and nightlife. My only issues are the low water pressure in shower, though my studio was on the top floor which made for lovely views of the ocean from balcony, it would be an inconvenience for those light sleepers...so request a room away from the first building which is facing the road, also the issue of not being able to watch basic TV...without the stress of a Netflix account. In summary I enjoyed my stay and would definitely consider this property for a future visit.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Sun Bay Hotel in Barbados, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! The hotel's pools were absolutely amazing - perfect for relaxing and soaking up the Caribbean sun. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, providing everything I needed for a wonderful stay. But what really stood out was the breakfast - the spread was incredible, with a wide variety of delicious options to suit every taste. I highly recommend the Sun Bay Hotel to anyone looking for a fantastic Barbados getaway. Can't wait to return.

The good: spacious room, location- easy access to the bus stops. That's it. Now I'm gonna write up how bad it was right from the entrance. 1. Building is & looks old, patched up and everyone looks tired. Staff doesn't want to help you and ARE RUDE. Having a breakfast is an embarrassment. Who would end up in Barbados and not wake up fresh and begin the day with excitement? it all dies once you go for breakfast. They stare at you as if you're a burden and are in some prison. So many restrictions to eat which aren't displayed anywhere. Trust me guys you don't wanna face the two individuals serving you breakfast with annoying gestures. It's not just us.. we made a couple of friends around and they all had the same thought- not something I'm making up. Nothing great about the breakfast either.. I hate toasts now for good. No fresh fruits, watered up juices, strictly avoid breakfast here if you can. 2. Coming to the rooms.. although they're spacious and air-conditioned some parts of the room were old. I won't complain much because after the long nights it's comfortable and serves the purpose. Bed is alright. 3. Poolside- avoid! You will find the sunbeds ,yes, but without cushions and bent/moldy. They have no sunbeds for the beach.. I learnt this after staying there as I couldn't find the info anywhere..so here it is if it helps. There's a tiny path through the weeds and shrubs bang opposite the entrance gate through which you'll have access to the beach which is usually quiet and not so crowded. That's one plus! You will also get to see the hotels you regret not booking, lol. Finally, I would like to request the management to train their staff to be more polite and smile more. Also be more proactive in suggesting us better tour packages etc. I won't go back here anyway.

My experience at Sunbay was satisfactory. The welcome was great, very courteous staff. Support with communication by whatsapp that I found very innovative A very large restaurant, a very nice swimming pool and the beach right in front. I really liked the decor of the room, an old style but very classy. However, I didn't like the decor of the corridors leading to the rooms. The hotel offers breakfast, which is not something I find in hotels in Barbados. I highly recommend this hotel if you are going to Barbados for a family or romantic getaway.

Trish Hughes

I loved it. Good value for money! Freshly cooked breakfast daily with omelettes or fried eggs on demand! We were in one of the deluxe rooms which had a flat screen and access to plenty of stations. Rooms had a microwave and a fridge so bring a travel kettle, teas, coffees etc. I have seen alot of negative reviews. If you want a 5 star hotel then expect to pay for it. Others we looked at were £1k extra each. It is a bit out of the way but walk 5 mins up the road to get the ZR buses! Can be a tight squeeze but only just over 3 Bajan dollars and every 5 minutes to the Gap and Bridgetown! Expect loud music and to go at speeds but I love it! The people are amazing and friendly. The hotel staff did their jobs they are not always happy and smiling they are getting on with their work but a hello to them and make the effort to get to know them and they start to open up! I expect they work long hours for not a great wage. The air-conditioning was brilliant! The rooms were clean! I would definitely go again!

Andy Tims

The whole hotel is tired and in need of a major refurbishment.Our supposedly superior room had shower taps that came away from the wall. Despite repeatedly asking we had no tea making facilities and our safe never worked. The balcony sliding door had to be properly man handled to open or close it. We had rain pouring through our bathroom ceiling after heavy rain. The staff made notes of our complaints but nobody actually did anything. On our last day the pool was closed.

Rosemily Berge

The best thing about this hotel is the location. I used to come every year before the pandemic. I was so excited to come here but I am disappointed. The jacuzzi in my oceanfront room is out of order. The place looks run down. The swim up bar is closed. The staff are so unfriendly with the exception of a few. It almost feels like a ghost town. It’s absolutely boring at night. There is nothing to do here. The rooms are still dated. I do love that it is right on the ocean, which is stunning. The food is also good and there are kiosks near the hotel and some restaurants along the boardwalk. The location is great but this hotel has gone down. The staff used to welcome you with a rum punch while you checked in… it felt so welcoming. Now they give you a ticket to get your free drink at the bar. Out of 3 bars, only one is open. I’m now searching for a new hotel to go to in the future. I have another 4 nights here. Hopefully, i will enjoy the remainder of my trip. Managers and staff need to step up before it’s too late. I have an emotional connection to this place. I fell in love with Barbados here, but I think it’s time for a change.

2025-01-13 – Accra Hotel Review DO NOT STAY at this MOULD INFESTED hotel..! Upon entering our room, [210], December 13th, 2024 we immediately smelt the stench of mould, it was strong. Opening the air conditioner front cover we found it and filters covered with black mould. We refused the room, spoke with the day manager Justin and showed him the issue, he agreed this was unsafe and moved us to room # 312. [The 2nd floor was undergoing a serious vacuum operation sucking up water from the hallway, perhaps a water leak.] The air conditioning unit in 312 also had some signs of black mould inside but the room was cleaner and had fresh air. He compensated us for the inconvenience with dinner; the buffet was poor and almost nothing in the bins. The breakfast buffet was horrible, nothing much to eat. Once we returned home in January we find on our visa bill we have been charged for BOTH rooms, [210 & 312], which we are now trying to have corrected. DO NOT STAY at this hotel, it is a total disappointment and the black mould is a serious health hazard.

Maxime Labrie

Amazing beach, decent hotel, extremely disappointing breakfast buffet. It is very expensive and the food is subpar, with very limited offerings, bland tasting and plates are empty or cold. AVOID the breakfast buffet at this hotel.

Kaliah Lavine

Had a great time appear to be short staffed but my family and I had a great time at lunch. Lashae please tell her we love her she did well, was very friendly and engaging loved her service please recommend her for any incentives etc . Your staff worked very well today Sunday 12.8.2024.

Carmen Alleyne

The staff around the bars and restaurants act like they are being inconvenienced when asked for something. I actually saw one at the beach bar get into a shouting match with a tourist. Most don't smile. Heard a few tell how much they hated their jobs. I think they forgot they work in the service industry. I was sitting at the bar one night and a hotel guest got fant and passed out. Once I saw that the employees did not pay him any attention. I am a nurse and jumped in to help. They state that they are not aloud to touch and Joseph stated that no one was cpr or AED competent. All I could say was wow. The hotel is so convenient for us. I was married at this resort, but service has gone way down hill. I have had to beg for blankets, room bath towels and even toilet paper.

M. Ramachandra Pai

We stayed for 8 nights and the rooms and the food were good. However, the real asset of this hotel are the staff who put in their 100% to ensure that we had a good time. The beach, although small, was good and not crowded. The hotel has a tiny reef area where you can see some types of fish. Jake’s bar across the road is part of the property and has the same great level of service.

Roger Bailey

The first impression of any hotel is the moment of first arriving and unfortunately Coconut Court Beach Hotel gave a poor first impression, the hotel lobby is dark, unwelcoming and tired. The staff didn’t make us feel welcome. Rooms are a bit basic as is the food which is on offer. However once one gets the laid back feel and settles in, things improved. The location on the beach is delightful, the staff friendly without being overly gregarious and that Caribbean way of life is right here, would we come to this hotel again? Unlikely as there are better appointed hotels north of Bridgetown but that said all told we enjoyed a nice sunny warm laid back week here during December 2024

Taiwo I.

My friends and I recently spent a few days here and it was lovely. The young lady with glasses who was also the front desk receptionist, was very kind, friendly and helpful. She informed us of all the onsite restaurants as well as the events hosted by coconut court everyday. Their facilities and beach are very clean and well kept. The hotel is very close to town and lots of food options are nearby. Our room was cleaned everyday and it was greatly appreciated. Excursions and taxis were also available to book directly through the hotel. I will definitely be staying at coconut court again.

Dave Power

Visited in Nov 24. Great Family run hotel right on the beach. Really safe for swimming. There’s a small reef just offshore loads of tropical fish have made it a home so pack a snorkel. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Dan Kaiser

Stunning beach with lots of shade from the almond trees, beautiful sand and fantastic swimming and snorkelling. The food was fantastic (try the fish cakes😍) and the staff were super friendly and accommodating. Chill beach vibes all the way!

Lia Fields

We stayed here the night we landed, before heading out to where we were staying for the whole week, but I would definitely stay here for longer if given the opportunity. The food of the restaurant was amazing, the ladies at the spa were so accommodating for a scheduling conflict for our massages, the sand is beautiful and the rooms were great. It had a little kitchen and some snacks for us when we showed. Wonderful (short) stay.

Hannah Sims

I don’t like being played. No one does when coming to a new place. Highly rated place so we were a bit stumped when they said our king bed 2nd floor room was broken. Apparently beyond repair, to me sounds like they gave our room away. We are now in a ground floor with two beds not king we specified and a pissed of partner. So I made the comment that I liked ground floor rooms, not knowing much of anything. My wife instantly said no. Now two hours later she went back, I am her husband writing the review, “your husband wanted the ground floor. They are not sure if they can get the type of room we asked for, must have been catastrophic damage. Not only played but thought as a fool. Hotel grounds are lovely !

james craig

Really impressed with our stay in Bouganvillea. The hotel is on one of the prettiest beaches we saw during our stay in Barbados. The pool area was very relaxing, with the right level of background music from the bar. Service at the pool bar was generally great though could be slow at busy times - cocktails are all made fresh to order. The beach is spectacular, and a sunbed can always be found. The sea was really rough when we were there (November) so may not be suitable for kids. Further up the coast was much calmer but then you're moving towards busier areas. The rooms are well appointed, with a big and powerful shower with reliable heat and useful kitchenette to have breakfast, lunch or drinks on the balcony. Key cleaning and cooking equipment is provided. The on site restaurant Calabash is also really good and good value for money - useful for lazy lunches or dinners without leaving the resort. Snacks can also be ordered to have around the pool area or takeaway. Taxis are aplenty to get to and from St Lawrence Gap - the nearest area for dinner and drinks. Standard fare was 15USD per trip, so useful to plan that in. It is walkable, though along a main road. VR minibuses are every couple of minutes along the highway, about 5 minutes from the hotel front. A supermarket is walkable on the edge of Oistins. It's not a full 5 star but I think it's value for money. For example, the rooms could do with some TLC and use of better quality fabrics for the bedding. But I would come back so that gets the 5 from me!

The hotel is dated, but clean. The beachfront is very clean, and the water sports team is excellent. Chris from the water sports team took me out on the catamaran and it was an exhilarating experience. The waters were very choppy, but he navigated it like a pro. Thanks to Chris for a fun and exciting sail. Vivian, the bartender, was the best I ever met. He is down to earth and gave great conversations. The wait staff at Calabash, the on-site restaurant, were great, and the breakfasts were delicious.

Chris Stearns

Nice boutique hotel/timeshare property. Pool was nice, beach front was great, and it had a small restaurant for all meals. There was also great dining options not far from the hotel. Great location on Oistins Bay!

Matthew Horsford

I hope we will have the opportunity to go back. There were 11 of us that booked here. The rooms were fabulous. The kitchenette had everything you would need. The resort was spotless and had a lot to offer. Furthermore, it was perfectly located for groceries, night life, beach, etc. All of the staff were super friendly and gave great recommendations. My only constructive criticism is that I would have enjoyed more music/events at the main pool area. More island music to enjoy while we swam and enjoyed our drinks. But, overall it was great!

brinn hemingway

The entire stay was wonderful here, the hospitality consistently went above expectations, the food was incredible at PureOcean, and it was conveniently located near lots of restaurants, shops, and activities. There’s a lot to do here- lots of activities for kids and adults, and lots of planned events/activities. When I get a chance to go back, I will definitely be staying here again

Renecha Boyce

Overall had an amazing stay! The staff was pretty helpful during check in, and the location is great. House keeping only come in to clean twice a week, but changes your towels daily if needed. When it rains a lot the lobby area does flood and the grass becomes extremely muddy and puddled. However we had a ground-level room and no water came in. There is a gym on property and fun activities for kids to do, mini golf, basketball etc.

Denise Laing

The night that we checked in we went to our room and opened up the pull out couch to find blood on the sheets and mattress pad. We tried calling housekeeping and the front desk but as it was late there was no answer. We eventually went downstairs and was able to find someone that came to look at the and offered to change our room. As there were four of us we thought the one bedroom with pullout couch would've been good for us. However we found the accommodations a lot smaller than the pictures we saw on the site. Most of the staff were pretty friendly and helpful. The pool was well kept, and I've never seen such great upkeep of the grounds of a resort! While we were REALLY disappointed by the blood in the first room we did enjoy the amenities (miniature golf and pool) while we were there.

john barber

My family of 4 stayed at Divi Dec 4-11. We absolutely loved it. We have no complaints. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend others to choose this hotel. Here are some of the highlights that we enjoyed about Divi: Dover beach- Wow. Stunning beach, very quiet as the hotel is situated at the end of the beach…we felt we had a private beach most of the time. Swimming was beautiful. The grounds- immaculate. They do a really nice job keeping everything clean and well maintained. The mini putt was really fun. We played a few rounds everyday. The pickleball and tennis courts looked well maintained… Pools- the main pool is really nice. However the smaller pool at the side of the hotel was a hidden gem! We usually used that pool in the morning and had it all to ourselves. The pool that is Oceanside is also really nice. Staff- didn’t really interact with anyone, but everyone was always friendly. Location- easy walking to restaurants and bars. We also walked to Massys grocery store a few times. Also the hotel is right on the main road for buses and ZR’s if you need to get around. Carlisle bay and Oistens are 10 minutes away. The room- loved having the separate bedroom. The kids were on the pullout couch..didn’t look very comfortable but they are kids in Barbados, they can’t complain! The kitchen was well stocked with all the requirements for light cooking. The coffee maker and filters were definitely appreciated. Overall, we loved it!

MIGUEL BORGE

I recently stayed at Barbados Beach Club for two nights, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst hospitality experiences I’ve had during my travels. Two specific incidents stood out. First, the way a dress code-related issue was communicated was deeply unprofessional and left us feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable. Sleeves shirt shouldn't be a reason why guests get mistreated. This could have been handled with far more sensitivity. Second, the restaurant manager was extremely rude telling us out wrist band was required to enter, raising his voice and treating us with an unacceptable lack of respect. Unnecessary, with additional attitude and challenging behaviour. On another occasion, I had to wait at the beach for a towel for 20 minutes because the person in charge went for lunch. It was all done as if they were doing us a favour. Additionally, the overall service was highly inefficient. The reception desk had long queues, and the staff seemed helpless and unable to address my concerns effectively. To add to the disappointment, the food quality was below expectations, which further tarnished the experience. Overall, the atmosphere was unwelcoming, and the staff were unfriendly. I cannot recommend this place to anyone seeking a respectful and enjoyable stay. It was a very unpleasant experience that I would rather avoid in the future.

Jo Gordon

After reading some negative reviews I was nervous about staying here but went with an open mind. On arrival it was a bit tired but the reception staff were lovely, a slight delay getting into room but not a problem as we sat by the pool and went to the beach and had drinks and food. The room was very clean and spacious and lots of storage. The location is perfect with its own beach. The food was amazing and being a small hotel felt very homely. The staff worked hard and responded well to being treated with kindness and respect. Would definitely stay here again

Jesse Carbone

This hotel was probably really nice like 20 years ago. The website & social media photos make it look like a palace compared to what it actually looks like. Apparently it hasn’t been renovated since 2011. There is no sense of urgency for the staff to help the guests - food is limited, entertainment is limited, the beach is beautiful but we weren’t able to swim or use any of the kayaks/snorkling equipment because it was “too windy.” There is a tennis court across the street but it was next to a sketchy pool hall/convenience store & looked like it hasn’t been maintained at all. If you’re looking for the bare minimum & budget all inclusive, then you may be satisfied with this place.

Nandu Vinod

Stayed for 5 days with a breakfast-only package and had a great time. The pool access room was fantastic, and the cocktails at the beach bar were delicious! Breakfast each morning was great, and the staff was friendly. The beach in front has some rocks in the water, making it less ideal for swimming, but a short walk down the coast offers spots where you can enjoy the water. Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable stay!

We did have a great holiday in Barbados. The hotel is very dated and needs refurbishment in areas, the photos that travel agents use and the hotel website aren't a true reflection. Limited air con only available in the bedroom and luggage holding. No information given on arrival or in the room for when meals/drinks are available, entertainment or trips for example. No contact numbers on the phone in the room. No coffee machine for decent coffees on a morning only provided with Nescafe instant. We would have expected a coffee machine, cold soda drinks dispensers when the bar is closed, snack machine and ice cream machine to help yourself when needed. Asked for two small bottles of coke zero to pop in our room.and was told we couldn't have them despite them pouring the small bottles into glasses for guests from the bar. Some staff lacked customer service and awareness. Our room was spotless with clean bedding and towels provided daily. Hotel manager was very helpful and rectified any issues for us straight away but these issues were very basic that shouldn't occur. Lack of consistency in rooms we had no kettle or cups but was provided with a spoon and sugar? On speaking to other holiday makers they experienced the same. Some guests had thick covers for the bed in their rooms due to air con making you cold but we never had these available in our room. Bottles of water was provided daily which was good. Lack of evening entertainment was only provided twice a week but the singers were brilliantly talented. Its a shame they don't have a daily evening DJ but rely on music being played behind the bar which can be difficult to hear. The layout of the buffet needs to be reconsidered and a more varied healthier menu would be great. It was a mish mash of food items and mainly carb or starchy options. If you arrive later in the evening some food items have ran out and are not available which was disappointing. The grill nights with ribs and chicken was gorgeous. We went to a hotel next door with the same star rating and they blew the beach club out of the water with their recent refurbishment and their buffet breakfast. Overall we enjoyed our holiday but issues could be rectified by investing financially into the hotel and staff training.

Christina Greenberg

We are leaving this quaint hotel and it was perfect for adults that simply want to relax. Staff here is AMAZING! Neal is one of the supervisors and I'm pretty convinced there is nothing he doesn't do. When the dining room got crowded- he jumped in. He mixed drinks when an extra set of hands was needed as well. He also was very friendly and made great conversation! Tre is AMAZING behind the bar! He made one of the best mojitos I've ever had and his espresso martini is top notch! Hw even took note a day we went to the beach and he remembered how I take my mojito and had one sent down to me. Christina runs the entire dining area at this time of year with a smile and grace! I'm gluten free and the hotel did not have many options to accommodate that, she went above and beyond especially at tea time. Beach The beach area is STUNNING! I love that it is a natural beach so there are plenty of waves. Morning stretching and yoga was great at 7am! There are always plenty of very friendly locals. We were not once harassed with people trying to sell us items. Pool We loved the pool. It was refreshing even though it was consistently 95 or hotter. This shower to rinse off from the beach does need to be fixed. It is pretty much useless. And the radio that plays music goes in and out, which is disappointing. Rooftop I have NO IDEA why this hotel is not utilizing their roof top area. There should 100% be at least a bar/lounge area up there. We went to Cafe luna two doors down and they did an amazing job. Abidah should be putting a mobile bar up there, some bistro tables, string lights. It is prime real estate with an amazing view and it's just being left empty. Entertainment There is NONE. It didn't really bother us, but i mean even the music system was not reliable by the bar at night. They could easily set up karaoke a few nights a week for their guests. We were also here in the off season so I'm sure this did not help. Room We had Room 302 which is oceanview with two balconies and was gorgeous. Our air went out one night at 3am but maintenance had it fixed in 15 min. We also had an issue with them regulating our shower water temperature. House keeping came daily and we were always impressed. I just wish they would leave more towels. The robes in the room are lovely. Room Service None. We were disappointed we couldn't order a bottle of wine or a fruit platter to the room. This could easily be an additional on that generates money for them. Food We had no issues with the food. Breakfast was my least favorite, but honestly we never went hungry. Lunch was always delicious. Dinners are a different theme every night. Nearby Acitivites When you check in they should give you a map of the local area with things you can walk to and spots not to miss. This would have been amazingly helpful! Overall, if you want a chill relaxing vibe with only adults, you'll be happy here.

Tracey Antell

Fantastic time, everything perfect. Loved how friendly staff are. Kyle Hudson especially made our and others holiday extra special. Tracey & Nicky.

Nick Antell

The most relaxing holiday we’ve ever had. Everything we wanted:- beautiful beach, very attentive guy Racqin who’s job is the sun beds but also took drink orders. Andrea the bar tennder amazed everyone by remembering their names, Andea made everyone feel special. Rooms immaculate. Food excellent and head chef Leo would go out of his way to please. All waiting staff so friendly and worked really hard. All the female waitresses where fantastic. The best male was *KYLE HUDSON* he worked so hard non stop, he is so throughly and hygienic wiping the tables. Even though Kyle worked non stop he always had time to speak to residents. I feel Kyle made every one’s holidays even better. It is clear he is a lot of residents favourite. We wish him well with his foot ball career and we are sure he will make Barbados Proud.

Dave hill

A pretty small hotel with a pretty small pool, however as the hotel was not full there was enough sun beds to go round. The staff were very friendly and helpful . Would I recommend it? Absolutely.

N Baldwin

MOULD IN FIRST FLOOR HALLWAY, STENECH OF MOULD IN ROOM 107. FRONT OF HOUSE AND THE BOOKINGS DEPARTMENT INEPT AND IMPERTINENT(bar Nikki). STAFF BLEACHED THE HALLWAY AND PAINTED OVER THE MOULD AFTER IT WAS REPORTED (though the smell and mould obviously reappeared within days; we already had evidence before their shoody cover up job anyway). WRONGLY TOLD EXPEDIA NOT TO REFUND US THOUGH 107 WASN'T USED. IN SHORT DO NOT BOOK HERE! Endless negatives, however (apologies for misspellings) Mrs Sharon deserves a promotion and pay rise. She is beyond delightful and ran dining with so much aptitude, diligence and professionalism. Alike, Andreh. They both singlehandedly redirected such a tumultuous experience into a positive one; always so nice, friendly and polite, but equally remarkable at their jobs. On arrival Charlene was embarrassingly unhelpful with resolving a rerooming request stating there was no mould and the city tax issue (Expedia quoted us less). She was completely fine subsequent to this day. Shaunie was horrendously unprofessional and argumentative continously refusing the refund, claiming I stayed in the flagged mouldy room when there was cctv outside the room to prove I didn't. Hostile and abrasive just like Tara from bookings who refused to speak with me on the phone to resolve the matter. After the pictures Expedia refunded me. Both Tara and Shaunie would do well to be mentored in custimer service by Nikki who was completely empathetic and professional. A couple stayed here in Feb and told us it's already down hill since Oct. Ms Sharon, Andreh, Juluis, Neil, Chef D and his team, Nicole and the housekeeping team, the young man who manages the beach (name begins with R I think), and the young lady on dinner service, amazing. However the poor dilapidated state of the place, mould and some surpar employees warrant never staying in this place ever again. Save your money, go somewhere else.

Ian Dickson

I was very impressed with this resort. During our Barbados vacation we stayed at Sea Breeze’s sister resort, O2 Beach Club and Spa (see separate review), and were extended day privileges at Sea Breeze. We visited twice in late January. Therefore, I must emphasize that my review is limited to daytime activities as we did not have room or stay overnight. The resort grounds, pools, restaurants and beach are beautiful. It’s exactly what you would expect from a high end tropical resort. Very picturesque and comfortable. The restaurants are excellent and service is great. The beach is perfect and the staff are very attentive providing lounge chair set-up, towels and drinks. Many activities are available including wind surfers, games and sand castle building toys for the kid. The general mood of the resort is happy and friendly. Staff make the difference and are happy to help you with anything you need.

Eammon Kelly-Roche

Massive thank you to Grace the restaurant manager who welcomed us with the most inviting smile, Also to the other catering department, who worked so very hard, to ensure our stay at the Sea breeze was second to none. Such a wonderful place, set in paradise. Well done Sea breeze Much appreciated The Kelly-Roche boy's xx

Ian Rowan

Sea Breeze Beach House, Barbados This was our first time in Barbados, and we spent a long time choosing an all-inclusive hotel. Let us start by saying, we made the best choice ever! Arriving around 7:30 PM, the immediate welcome was warm and inviting. After confirming our names, our bags were whisked away. A short walk past flaming lanterns led us to the reception, where we were greeted with rum punch and a warm welcome. We were personally shown to our room, given a resort tour, and updated on the restaurant options. A booking had already been made for our first night at 8 PM—a great start. The experience only got better. Our first meal was at the Aqua Terra restaurant, with a table overlooking the beach and sea. The à la carte meal was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Drinks were constantly refreshed, and we had a fantastic meal. The next morning, we had our first breakfast experience at the Mahogany restaurant, which offered a buffet-style breakfast. We were seated and offered tea and coffee. The sliding doors revealed a good selection of breakfast items, including many local specialties. The egg chef, who had five pans going, was always smiling. For our first lunch, we dined at the beach bar, enjoying a sit-down experience with a menu to order from. We highly recommend trying the Caesar salad. Again, there were plenty of staff to ensure we always had a drink, and our water was constantly topped up. It was a nice, relaxed atmosphere with a good selection that kept us coming back time and again. Whether you choose to sit on the beach or around the pool, you will be offered drinks at your sunbed without needing to lift a finger. As an extra special treat, you receive an ice-cold towel a couple of times a day, which is so refreshing. The two drink waiters, Damien and Rohan, were absolute stars. After a couple of days, they knew what we were drinking and always asked about our trips or what we had been up to. They were genuinely nice people. We celebrated a birthday during our stay. Once they found out, we were treated to a bottle of champagne by the poolside. Another bottle appeared in our room with a balloon bouquet on the bed. They also arranged for more bubbles at dinner and had the amazing band in the bar sing happy birthday and take a special request. Our concierge, Deniko, was fantastic. We had his mobile number to WhatsApp any requests or excursions we wanted. When we say nothing was too much trouble, that is an understatement. He arranged trips, gave recommendations, and sent last-minute places to visit. Friendly, professional, and such a nice guy, he took all the stress out of booking tours and excursions. Overall, this was one of the best hotels we've ever had the pleasure of staying at. Any issues were quickly sorted, and they could not do enough to help. The room was pleasant, and the fridge was stocked daily with water at no extra charge. We spent the last day going around tipping the wonderful staff who made the holiday extra special. Thank you to the hotel. If you are reading this and want a fabulous trip, this hotel is a winner.

Great hotel and facilities, beach is lovely. If you like a quiet life then this is for you. Only a 10 minute walk to bars and restaurants if you fancy a change, but being all inclusive and multiple choices for dining you have it all on site. We had an Ocean front junior suite, which is fabulous. This is our second time here in 5 years. Keep up the great work Sea Breeze. 👍👌

The ads for this hotel are misleading. They promises an ideal stay that is equivalent to a luxury vacation. The rooms are well appointed and the property is well kept except for the few roaches you see running about at night. Where this place falls terribly is in service. I travelled with a group. One person was denied entry due to immigration reasoning and the hotel was well aware of this yet they decided to keep the money paid for the stay. I was disturbed but let it be. Then it came down to service the biggest let down I have ever experienced by a luxury hotel. The staff was outright rude and the bar men were even ignoring requests made by some members of my group so we had to be demanding and rude as well to match the disgusting attitude. The food at this hotel was phenomenal and the seafood buffet night was exceptional. Please note this is not the case as their dinner options change on a daily. The beach at this property did have a lot of surf and therefore was not suitable for bathing. I recommended this property to some others and their review was also on point especially on service. They advised it was the same atrocious attitude with staff hiding Hennessey which was the party drink of choice. This place need to learn a lot from O2 Beach Club.

For the cost, Turtle Beach is really 3 stars, but i enjoyed my one week stay and will give it 4. Many people complain about the birds which will be after your food during alfresco dining, but I liked the wildlife being there. The hotel is old and dated but so what! My room was big and comfortable with a great view. However. it was quite a long walk to the main areas; the hotel is well spread out. The staff and meals were good. I particularly liked the ice cream parlour, the swimming pools and room service. The beach was hopeless; lots of seaweed on it, and all the beaches on the south and east coasts of the island. If you want a good, clean beach, you have to go to the west coast which is mainly taken up with rich folks' homes . There is only ONE hot, small lift (elevator) to cater for all the rooms - terrible! Do take a trip round the island - well worth it!

We've just returned from 9 amazing days at The Turtle Beach Hotel & Spa. The location is just spectacular. Right on the beach, with amazing views, from all rooms, I understand. The 3 pools were very welcome in the heat. Very comfortable sun loungers all around the pools. There was never a problem getting a sunbed and fresh towels every day.

The price-performance ratio at Turtle Beach Hotel is disappointing. While you can enjoy a buffet three times a day and book a table for à la carte dining in the evening (which was usually good), the buffet food itself left much to be desired. The potatoes, for example, were dry and soggy rather than crispy. Most of the staff were unfriendly and made us feel unwelcome. Finding a sunbed was nearly impossible as all of them were reserved with towels by 8 AM. When we asked about activities or a hotel plan, the staff dismissed our questions, and after searching for a while, we gave up. Additionally, activities listed on the daily schedule came with extra charges, which is unacceptable given the high cost of staying here. Another strange aspect was the “dummy receipt” provided for meals, showing what they supposedly cost, which seemed unnecessary and odd. The laundry service was outrageously expensive as well. On the positive side, the rooms were clean, and the reception staff were kind and helpful. However, for those wanting to explore the island, this is definitely the wrong hotel. Even for all-inclusive visitors, there are likely better options offering more value for the price.

We stayed at Tuttle Bay for five nights, and while many reviews have pointed out that the hotel grounds need updating, I won’t dwell on that as I understand renovations are planned for this year. Instead, I’ll focus on our personal experience as a couple, though I recognize this is primarily a family-oriented hotel, so our perspective as couple , may be a bit biased. Positives The hotel’s biggest strength is its staff—the service is truly excellent. The beach is stunning, and the food is of a very high standard. A standout moment was the New Year’s Eve buffet dinner, which was beautifully organized, with fantastic decorations that added a festive touch. A special highlight for us was our last night when we requested lobster. The chef prepared it perfectly, and while it came with an additional charge, it was absolutely worth it. Negatives The primary issue for us was the noise level. This is a very loud property, and as a couple seeking relaxation, we struggled to find quiet spaces during the day. The entertainment is repetitive, with 80s hits, Michael Jackson, and Bob Marley played on a loop. Daytime activities like karaoke and drumming are also excessively loud. The sound system is of poor quality, and while there are live performances in the evening, they’re often singing the same songs, too loud and, unfortunately, not very enjoyable. We had to be wearing earplugs at times during dinner. During a New Year’s Day event, there was a DJ playing more up-to-date Caribbean music on the beach, which was a refreshing change and much more enjoyable. I hope the planned refurbishment includes better sound systems and an overhaul of the entertainment program. We booked an ocean-view room but were initially placed in a room overlooking the restaurant entertainment area. The loud music made it unbearable. After complaining, we were moved the next night to a much quieter room on the other side of the property, closer to the beach. Another issue is the lack of sun loungers and parasols. Around the pool, there are only around 20 shaded parasols for a resort with over 140 rooms, and no dedicated adult pool. Children are splashing water, running and screaming everywhere, leaving little space for adults to relax. We opted for the beach, but it also has no parasols—just lounges with a hood that provides minimal sun protection. Loungers are placed close together, offering little privacy, and there aren’t enough of them. Guests start reserving loungers before 6 a.m., which is frustrating, however the beach here is absolutely stunning.

Elevators broken, bathroom leaks, even the door to the hotel room don’t work properly. This is a dated property that survives by very good staff (bar the front desk, they’re useless). There are SO many better all inclusive hotels on the island, and less money. Please avoid this property! We stayed in a suite and the smaller rooms in other properties were better. Don’t be fooled Elegance brand, there is nothing g elegant about this hotel
