The Soco Hotel

We had a great 1.5 weeks in this hotel. The staff was all super accommodating and friendly, and the food was delicious! I haven't been to an all inclusive since I was little, but for all three meals you are seated and given a menu with courses, and the lunch and dinner menu changes every two days so you only have the same 4 or 5 meals, and 3 starters to choose from for two days and never get bored of those meals. There is tea time early afternoon with sandwiches and pastries. Don't expect food service 24/7, that isn't here.. but drinks are morning to night. 🍸 The bartenders my boyfriend made quick friends with, and they made delicious drinks consistently and were so fun to chat with. Also, it's a small hotel, with only 24 rooms (if I remember correctly) and a small pool and deck area. It's comfortable for the number of guests that stay here, and it is right on the beach. Because it's a smaller hotel, you tend to see the same people every day and the staff get to know you well, and it feels more welcoming and personable which I quite liked. The only complaints I have are the road noise in the rooms so if you are a light sleeper bring earplugs. I got used to the noise after about 5 nights. The buses go by through the night with their really funky horns (you'll get it if you've been in the area), which is a bit irritating. The water pressure in the shower lacks a bit, but otherwise, I have no complaints. I would definitely recommend this hotel to any adults thinking about going to Barbados. We are a couple in our 30s and found that it was allot of mid age to older couples here, but had a good time hanging out with the few couples we met around our age, and good conversations with all the other guests.

Myself and my husband has just returned from a wonderful holiday in Barbados. We stayed at the Soco Hotel last year and returned this year as it was so good. Staying at the Soco you are right on the beach which is amazing, the bar is run by Michelle on days and Shane on nights that’s what makes this place special.

Excellent service! The staff at Soco will have you feeling like you are at home! JAMEL LAYNE the night time front desk person is an absolute GEM! He sat with me night after night and made sure I was happy with everything even out side of the hotel... Clyde the restraunt manager what an amazing person he is catering to our every need! Our house keeper she was an angel at room 102... WILL BE RETURNING

Generally ok but the staff is rude and not accommodating to requests. We arrived at 1pm check in is at 3pm and we were not allowed to access any amenities until 3:10pm. They did not hold our luggage or allow us to access the property until we were checked in. Usually all inclusive resorts allow access to amenities once you arrive. I am generally disappointed in the service.

Stayed here for about ten days in Dec 2023. Staff are very friendly and attentive, will go out of their way to get you whatever you need. We really liked the bartender, JP, who made awesome cocktails and was very fun to hang out and make conversation with. Do note that the bar opens at 10 am and closes at 10:30 pm, so if you are looking for nightlife or late drinks, you'll have to go elsewhere. Food is alright, though I do think the Soco could benefit from a less formal environment for meals, and more traditional, local food, as we found it to be quite bland and "Westernized". The location of this hotel is absolutely awesome - it's about 15 minutes' walk to Pebbles beach, tons of local shops, restaurants, bars, and sightseeing close by as well. Very safe location. Soco's beach is beautiful and was honestly our favourite place that we swam during the entire trip. All of the rooms in this hotel face the ocean, with stunning views. Housekeeping comes regularly, and does a great job. Room had everything we needed, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Giving 4 stars overall, as the food was a bit of an issue for us - everything else was great and we would go back to stay again, for sure - thanks Soco staff.
