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.

Perfect location in the Gap, close to local bars and restaurants. Rooms are basic and in need of a refurb but are what is expected of a 3 star hotel. On the plus side, each room has a lovely view of the ocean, pool and gardens. The hotel bar and restaurant have a good selection of food and drinks, happy hour is a must. A big shout out to Verna…

Location: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Let’s start with the highlights! The apartments are perfectly situated in St. Lawrence Gap, surrounded by a variety of mid-range eateries, lively bars, and tempting street food options. A short 10-minute stroll in either direction takes you to the stunning beaches of Dover and Worthing. The property boasts a small beach area ideal for a refreshing swim, as well as a modest pool where you can relax. The pool deck offers breathtaking views of the sea, complete with umbrellas and loungers for a comfortable day in the sun. With all these great features, we truly had a wonderful time.
Accommodation: ⭐
Unfortunately, the self-catering apartments fell short of expectations. I’d rate them no higher than one star. They are located adjacent to the poolside kitchen and bar, which created several inconveniences. Our bathroom was separated from the kitchen by a slatted window, allowing kitchen grease to seep in, and the kitchen lights were left on continuously, starting their workday around 5:30 AM—every day.
Our companions faced similar issues; their room shared a wall with the bar’s TV, which was left on all night, while they also had to endure constant foot traffic noise from the pool area through their bathroom window. The apartments themselves haven’t seen a refresh in decades, with double beds being two singles pushed together and dated mahogany furniture that felt out of place.
The self-catering kitchen featured an odd assortment of utensils, and while it had a large fridge and freezer, the toaster looked somewhat hazardous, and we didn’t dare inspect the microwave. The overall condition of the kitchen was old and shabby, and the bathrooms were in dire need of improvement. Strip lighting and outdated fixtures did little to enhance the experience.
Regrettably, cleanliness was also a concern. While some areas may have been superficially tidied, by modern standards, the rooms felt unclean. Clean sheets and towels were provided but the rooms themselves were in need of a deep clean at the very least and major revamp to bring them to at least an acceptable basic standard.
Staff Experience: ⭐⭐
While some staff members were friendly and accommodating, others were less so, with a few exhibiting downright rudeness.
Final Thoughts:
In summary, while the location deserves five stars and some staff provided good service, the accommodation was disappointing. Overall, I would rate this experience as a 2-star stay due to the quality of the apartments and the inconsistent service. If you prioritize location over comfort, this could still be a viable option—but be prepared for a mixed experience.
