Fantastic second visit to Beach View - the Sugar Apple cafe food was excellent and the new pool and surroundings are great. Superbly located, no need for taxis to get to QP Bistro and The Cliff as they are located opposite the apartments. Paynes Bay is a short walk away. Can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Barbados.

We loved our stay at Beach View. Clean, modern rooms, lovely staff and great location. The gardens are beautiful and the venue offers three pools and very close proximity to the beach for dips in the beautiful sea and to local eateries for varied lunch and dinner options. Would definitely stay again

This was our third stay at Beach View and another great experience. It has all the facilities that you need for a relaxing holiday in a wonderful location close to some excellent beaches. We enjoyed dining on-site in the hotel restaurant, some self catering in our spacious apartment and also visiting some of the nearby restaurants. Do make use of the local buses - just $3.75 BD for any distance and an easy way to see the island. We have already booked again for next year! Read less

This is a beautiful hotel resort just steps from a snorkel beach with crystal clear water, numerous fish, and sometimes, TURTLES. The rooms are incredibly spacious for the price we paid, with a beach view dining area and balcony. An onsite cafe and car rental are convenient, with additional restaurants within easy walking distance. All the reception, cafe, snack shack, cleaner and security staff are so friendly, courteous, helpful, and kind. Free use of floaties, pool and sand toys, and beach chairs is an unusual and unexpected plus. We found the local sites an easy and interesting half hour drive north (St. Nicholas Abbey distillery and plantation and steam train tours, Hunte's Garden). Then there is BARBADOS, a beautiful and welcoming place with crystal clear waters. We will return. Read less
