The hotel

If you love golf, this is the perfect setting for a golf getaway with a championship course that features 18 holes, lush fairways, water hazards, and strategically placed bunkers. There is also a family friendly Par 3 short course called “Little Apes”. Additionally, there is a state-of-the-art golf performance centre, putting and chipping greens, and a driving range. Impressive though that is, that's not all on offer at Apes Hill Barbados Golf Resort, there's also sunrise yoga classes, bootcamps, nature trails, padel and tennis courts, and fishing in the reservoir. Their luxury villas come well-equipped with all mod-cons, fully equipped kitchens and outdoor space with private pools and views overlooking the 18th fairway - ideal for dining and drinking al-fresco. The 20th Hole Restaurant serves up international flavours with a side of local bites from morning to evening. At the Noisy Cricket restaurant and bar, you can also grab some seasonal sharing plates with craft cocktails and take in the local vibes with themed evenings and signature Sunday lunches, the perfect end to a perfect day.

Apes Hill in St. James Barbados was top tier. This is the best villa experience I've ever had. The staff.... customer service and service was unmatched. The grounds and the greens were well kept. As a travel agent, this will be my go to destination for Golf Enthusiasts. I will definitely be back.

We had a family of 5 in a 3 bedroom Villa and the indoor/outdoor space felt so luxurious! We were greeted with Rum punch and the most welcoming staff! The food at the 20th Hole was our favorite and the Noisy Cricket provided priceless views over the ocean. We can't say enough about what this beautiful resort offers! Bravo! Read less
