Rostrevor Apartment Hotel

Barbados, Caribbean

Virgin rating

The hotel

Oozing island charm, this bijou beauty has just 79 rooms but packs in plenty of reasons as to why it deserves a visit. Inspired by its stunning waterfront location, just a stroll from the heart of St Lawrence Gap with its great bars, restaurants and nightlife, Rostrevor Apartment Hotel features just enough turquoise touches to remind you the ocean’s right outside — in fact, every guest room looks out over it. If you want to get even closer, the swimming pool sits a few mere metres from the ocean, on a bluff-like perch that creates absorbing views as you swim and sunbathe. An equally alluring sunbathing spot, the secluded sands of Rostrevor Beach fringe the hotel. The pool’s paired with one of the hotel’s two eateries, the Almond Tree Pool Bar, so you can dine in casual comfort during the day, before heading to the other restaurant, The Harlequin, for International food with Caribbean flair for a delicious evening meal.

I cannot fault this hotel. My husband and I stayed in Room 515 in the Deluxe part of the hotel. Everything was perfect from the accommodation to the seafront views. The hotel staff are very helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them helping you to have the best holiday that you can have. The pool and lovely little beach areas are so good and there are plenty of sunbeds to choose from without having to get up at the crack of dawn to put towels on them! The food and drinks served in the poolside bar are so good and excellent value for money. I shall be booking too come back to this hotel next year for definite Read less

Just back from 2 weeks at Rostrevor and have to say what a fantastic experience we had.We were on second floor to right of reception looking from the road and just amazing sea views from our balcony .We could even see the turtles from our room which was amazing..! Plenty of restaurants and bars close by either way,.which all had great food.If you want cheap beers,go straight across the road to Salvinas mini mart-4 beers for 12 bbd. Walk up to main road and get the white reggae buses,3.50 either way and go to Bridgetown or Oistins the other way,great value,and an experience.-We had a day out at the boatyard,brilliant snorkelling trip included and well worth doing as loads of turtles to swim with. Hotel is good for the price,lovely happy maids came every day to clean and change towels etc.Note-take toiletries,although advertised,you don’t get shampoo or shower gel,but you get bars of soap. Overall an awesome holiday on the gorgeous island of Barbados.This was our second time on barbados but won’t be long before were back for a third! Read less

Excellent location. Has a large terrace to the pool and beach area. Plenty of sun beds, and chairs. On arrival you may feel the rooms look tired. (103) which is right on the ground floor to the car park. At first you don’t feel too secure but it is.

Excellent location. Has a large terrace to the pool and beach area. Plenty of sun beds, and chairs. On arrival you may feel the rooms look tired. (103) which is right on the ground floor to the car park. At first you don’t feel too secure but it is. As there are no mosquito nets, you feel unable to leave the windows open to listen to the sea overnight. Well equipped. Daily maid service, regular towels, even when not requested. Good shower and plenty of hot water. Bar noise finishes by 1130pm. Ceiling fan was great so didn’t need air con running overnight. Mosquito net to the bathroom window would allow for better ventilation. Great value for money. Has its own small beach and you can swim out so far. Read less
