A Barbadian. Family Holiday

Fantastic place to stay as a family. We have had a week here and are really sad to go back. The location is fabulous and you can literally roll out of bed and be on the beach.

Fantastic place to stay as a family. We have had a week here and are really sad to go back. The location is fabulous and you can literally roll out of bed and be on the beach. They are offer various watersports and I would especially like to thank Chris a veteran sailor of 15 years who took me out on a catamaran at short notice today. He was a great instructor and we had an exciting sail this afternoon. The staff have been fantastic and we have been allowed to stay in our room for a small price to enjoy our last day. It feels like we have had an extra day here. Everything has been seamless including car hire which reception helped with. We have really enjoyed the cuisine and the fuss free hospitality and we look forward to visiting again as a family Read less

Five star experience, from a truly exceptional hotel.

Bougainvillea is one of many hotels I have stayed at in during my numerous visits to the Barbados and I have to say that hands down it was one of the best experiences. Why do I say this? Every interaction I had with staff teams left a great impression. Nothing was too much. Reception and porter service impeccable. Housekeeping and maintenance outstanding. Bars and restaurants, exceptional. Water sports, simply the best. I encountered so many people and know that I have forgotten lots of names but I will give it a go as each individual deserves a special mention. Elisabeth and Natasha Miss Roxanne, Lizbeth, Marvie, Khadija, Joshua, George, Vivian and the rest of the team. Michael, Chris and the rest of the team. I have to say that they went above and beyond to show nothing but care and concern for all of the guests who used the beach. Your spa team were truly amazing and the taster session on the deck made me immediately book a full treatment. Now Andrea did not disappoint. A massive shout out has to be made to her as the treatment I received was exceptional. When I come back (oh and I will be back) I look forward to further treatments. During our time hurricane Beryl decided to pay a visit - thank you to your hurricane team who stayed overnight to ensure that we as guests were taken care of during this very difficult time. Massive congratulations on your hurricane planning as we did not lose power or water throughout the entire time and for the continual up dates and check in's. Finally, having attended the managers cocktail party (and there was local vendor shopping opportunities) I managed to speak with members of your management team who sang the praises of their teams. Thank you for recognising the good work that they do. So see you next year. Read less

This was my second stay at the Bougainvillea in the past eight months, and once again, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and at home. The highlight of my stay, as always, was the amazing time spent on the beach, thanks to the incredible water sports team, Michael and Chris. Every day was filled with joy and adventure when they were around. The experience of being taken out to sea on the Hobie Cat was unforgettable and truly a highlight of my trip. During my stay, Hurricane Beryl hit, and I was truly impressed by how well the hotel managed the situation. The staff went above and beyond to ensure the safety and comfort of all guests, which was greatly appreciated. The front desk staff, especially Elisabeth and Natasha, were exceptional. Their professionalism and friendliness made the check-in process seamless and pleasant. The restaurant staff were fantastic, with special mentions to Miss Roxanne, Marvie, Lizzy, and Josh. Their warm hospitality and excellent service made every meal a delightful experience. I left my heart in Barbados and cannot wait to return to the Bougainvillea for another unforgettable stay. Thank you to everyone who made my visit so special! Read less

Hospitality is not this hotel's strong suit

The hotel staff overall is unwelcoming. We watched staff behave friendly and accommodating with other races, colorism appears to be an issue in this establishment. Hospitality is not this hotel's strong suit. The restaurant staff from the pool to Calabash in particular is very rude and unprofessional. I would not recommend this place to Black… Read more

I traveled solo and stayed a week in a timeshare unit. I give the resort an A+ for giving that welcome home friend type of vibe. I celebrated my birthday there also. The staff are really what made the stay most special. Although my unit and ocean view were also spectacular. Miranda at the front desk along with the night auditor, and several other front desk staff were simply the best. Hospitable, informative and helpful. I splurged and did a day pass at Sugar Bay, their sister resort because of the seaweed. I recommend going for the experience and the great lunch buffet. It's another level of luxury but really lacked that home town feel that I found at Bougainvillea. So, there is one little experience that bugged me. I ordered wings from the Calabash restaurant They were an appetizer. I was served the equivalent of 2 wings (cut into 4 pieces) for U.S. $15.00. THAT really gave me sticker shock. I still can't justify that. On another note, the breakfast buffet from there was delicious and a great value. I could go on because the entire experience was unforgettable. I plan to stay there again and again when I return. Read less
