Butterfly Beach Hotel

Barbados, Caribbean

Virgin rating

The hotel

One of the hallmarks of any holiday in Barbados is a night at Oistins’ famous Fish Fry – and you are just a stroll from all the action (and a short drive from lively St Lawrence Gap for other nights out). Enjoy direct access to two fabulous white powder beaches laid out either side by of this seafront hotel. The iridescent blue waters of the Caribbean may be tempting, but you can also take a dip in the freshwater swimming pools – or head up to the raised circular patio for a soak in its trio of waterfront whirlpools or relax on the ample sunning areas with loungers and umbrellas. The sea views steal the show at The Reef Bar & Grill too, with its new seaside deck providing the perfect backdrop for Caribbean dishes, and for its weekly rum punch parties and barbecues accompanied by steel pan sounds. You can see why the Butterfly Beach Hotel is a great value for money resort in Barbados and a TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice award winner.

What a wonderful hotel! On the beach, nice and small, rooms spacious with plenty of storage and good balcony size, housekeeping every day apart from the hurricane day!stayed with my husband and 16 year old.Staff were just amazing, very friendly, Lea on reception always had a smile and happy to help. Restaurant staff, Lynette, Deborah were just wonderful, very friendly and pleasant. Entertainment at night was ok, we had a half board meal plan, the food was just out of this world, plenty on your plate!Short walk to Oistins, would recommend using the white vans though on a hot day. Transport around the island is great! Public bus will take you to Speightstown for 3.50 bbds. We hired a car and went around the island, breathtaking scenery on some beaches. The hotel staff looked after us so well during hurricane Beryl, made sure we were fed and watered, cannot fault their care and attention to their guests during this. Would highly recommend this hotel and of course Barbados, been to a few Caribbean islands but this one just tops them all! Will most definitely be returning in the future. Read less

Lovely, quaint hotel, with natural charm. We stayed in room 417 with a lovely view of the Ocean and sound of the waves to help us relax and take a break! Loved the idea of the fully equipped kitchenette! To hold our snacks, make coffee and tea after a day at the local beaches
