Nice spot in Barbados

The hotel is in a great location in St Lawrence Gap. We paid for a sea front room and we had a lovely view. The pool area was lovely but not very big and lacked sunloungers. We visited in December and there wasn't much atmosphere in the hotel bar. The only negative for us was a karaoke bar across the road which was very loud and went on until 3am.…

Also be aware that there is a repetitive noise outside when it gets dark which it turns out is tree frogs.

Fab Hotel, but Location ??

Everything you read about the hotel is correct - its a wonderful small hotel to pitch up at. All good - staff, cocktails, food, small pool, sea view. Walk down to Johnny Cools Bar on Dover Beach, or the Carib Beach Bar on Koala Beach, and its a wonderful feel of the Caribbean. And that's the one big problem. The hotel backs onto the St Lawrence …

Everything you read about the hotel is correct - its a wonderful small hotel to pitch up at. All good - staff, cocktails, food, small pool, sea view. Walk down to Johnny Cools Bar on Dover Beach, or the Carib Beach Bar on Koala Beach, and its a wonderful feel of the Caribbean. And that's the one big problem. The hotel backs onto the St Lawrence Gap - and its too noisy. Opposite is an Irish Bar, and next door Karaoke. It didn't travel to the Caribbean to listen to U2, Bon Jovi and Freddie Mercury. I love a night out with a load of beers and music, but not here. I wanted to feel I was in the Caribbean, not Ibiza. In the hotel, make sure to get a room on the front, and you won't really hear anything. So, I am really torn. I'd happily stay in the hotel again, and walk to the next beaches for the evening. But if you do like Karaoke, this is your place !!

What an amazing hotel! Cannot recommend the south gap enough to anyone looking to stay here. The hotel is stunning, clean and has the most amazing views from every room and the bar/pool. The food is amazing and at a great price. The staff are the friendliest we've ever met and once they found out that me and my wife were getting married during our stay, they really pushed the boat out for us with room decorations, gifts and anything else we asked for. I cannot thank them enough for making our trip so memorable.

South Gap Hotel is a simply an amazing hotel. Every member of the staff team including the receptionist, servers, bartenders and cleaning staff were outstanding in the service they provided us. We were always greeted with smiles during our stay & were assisted greatly in any inquiry we may have had. I recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a reliable, clean and staff friendly hotel. We stayed in a suite which was very modern, well kept and free of any noise from the local vicinity. I will 100% stay here again.
While we enjoyed the outstanding restaurant located in the hotel, the opportunities were endless with restaurants in the area, whether it was fine dining or a quick bite there were zero disappointments.

No elevators but don't allow that to deter you. Highly recommend this accommodation.
