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.

We stayed in villa 25 at Apes Hill as a family of four, with two teenagers. It was a wonderful holiday. The villa and facilities are fabulous with lots of indoor and outdoor space plus a pool. Our villa looked over 18th hole of the golf course (which is exceptional). We also had our own golf buggy to help us get around the resort. The team at the resort are incredibly friendly and professional. They are available to help with every aspect of your holiday. Special shout out to Tania (client experiences director) and Shalana (head of housekeeping). Thank you for making our holiday so special. I would highly recommend Apes Hill as a perfect holiday destination in Barbados. Read less
