The hotel

This modern resort is split into two hotels and occupies 300 ft of south coast beachfront. It doesn't matter which hotel you stay in, as you are free to use the facilities at both. This means you can enjoy two swimming pools, an oceanfront restaurant and, of course, a selection of complimentary non-motorised water sports along the lovely white sand beach. Coral Mist and Blue Orchids Hotels have the added advantage of being only a 5-minute drive from the shops, bars and restaurants of the lively St Lawrence Gap.

We have been here four times to participate in the Barbados Open Water Swim Festival, a gathering of 400 swimmers who enjoy the beautiful water around Barbados, the suite with a kitchen is perfect to have breakfast and to prepare snacks. The room is well laid out and we love the porch. It’s right on the beach, although a streak of rough seas kept us from swimming any distance. However, there are a lot of minor annoyances. We reserved a specific room a year ago. It was not available and we had to wait an hour past check-in time for a fourth floor room away from our friend’s room. The fourth floor would have been ok except the elevator broke the second day we were there. They did not have beach towels for us, as they ran out while we were waiting for our room. The hot water never got past tepid. The light in the kitchen was so pale we could barely see. Floor tiles were cracked. When it rained the hallway filled with water and got very slick. Despite all this we booked for next year. Read less

We moved to our room next day with air conditioning working. Rooms were cleaned fresh towels every day. You could get beach towels. The staff were great.

It's an easy walk to the supermarket or garage for essentials and buses are along the road outside all the time to take you around the island. Read less

Having stayed in Barbados many times the Coral Mist & Blue Orchids hotel is one of the best self catering hotel's I have stayed at never failing to deliver. A no thrills hotel and a great base to explore Barbados or simply to relax on a glorious beach. The hotel is located at the end of an almost private fabulous stretch of beach on the south coast with plenty of amenities close to hand, bars, restaurants, supermarkets etc. All the rooms are spartan rather than glitzy being meticulously cleaned every day & have very comfortable beds, the kitchens/kitchenettes have large fridges to stock up if need be. A good restaurant over looking the beach offers meals & drinks through out the day. The hotel staff here are excellent, always very attentive & friendly and go the extra mile, nothing is to much bother. Read less

We have just returned from two weeks at this hotel. It just goes to show how different people have different experiences/ opinions. This is a fabulous hotel and we had none of the problems reported below. The staff were great, friendly and did everything they could to make our stay as good as possible. Even when booking us a taxi, the receptionist stayed with us until it arrived and then questioned the driver on who had sent them and where they were taking us before we got in. Fabulous location right on the beach, plenty of restaurants in walking distance, rooms are comfortable, yes it is dated but at this price point no worse than other hotels we have used. Our only complaints, the prices at the bar / restaurant. Far higher than the surrounding area and therefore we only used it once. Apparently this is privately run and therefore not controlled by the hotel. The other is the mattresses on the sunbeds, they definitely need a clean and or replacement. We will certainly return.
