The hotel is on the calmer side of the island, very close to a pristine beach. The area is nice and full of bars and restaurant, although the hotel does have one itself. Rooms are light and spacious, surrounded by high vegetation which gives some privacy. There are three swimming pools, and you can always find a seat to relax and have a swim. The hotel also offers umbrellas and chairs to bring to the nearby beach, which is highly appreciated given the strong sun of the Caribbean. The staff was very welcoming and helpful, in giving advice and calling a taxi if you need. Rooms were clean everyday and our fridge always stuck up with cold water. We enjoyed enormously our time there. It was very handy to explore part of the island as well. Local buses to Bridgetown and Holetown stop just outside the hotel on the main road. Read less

Absolutely fantastic stay at Beach View apartment was very well equipped with everything we needed to get the most from our holiday, luxury apartments do have some road noise but that’s a small price to pay for the views that you receive we ordered a starter food package which was superb quality and had all we needed for the first few days. Beach View is ideally placed on the west coast to explore the island bus stops right outside the complex, we can’t praise the staff highly enough every single member to staff we encountered couldn’t do enough to make sure we enjoyed ourselves and got the most from our holiday. This was our second visit and can’t wait to return. Read less

Just returned from a fabulous 12 night stay in a one bedroom luxury suite. Beautiful apartment which was spotlessly clean and maintained every day. The entire complex is very well looked after and staff are friendly. Car hire from the Hut was great. Great base to explore beautiful Barbados and we will certainly return again. Recommend The Fish Pot, Champers, The Horny Ram, Cafe Carizma (breakfast and also the excellent Taco Tuesday) and Pepenero in Limegrove for great pizza. Read less
