The hotel

The most incredible location! Hotel is nestled right in the middle of an abundance of fabulous bars and restaurants. The area feels safe and everybody is friendly from street vendors to locals. The hotel does have a restaurant and the food is great but if you fancy a change try 'Crave' or 'Mimosa' just a few mins walk away. We also really loved 'Pure Ocean' and had a gorgeous meal but also took advantage of happy hour there in the afternoons. This is the next building along from the hotel so is accessible by the beach. The rooms were clean and had plenty of storage. The shower was powerful and easy to use and the towels were changed every day. Our room looked right out on to the smaller pool and the beach which was beautiful but I will say that being so close to the 'Chattel House' area meant that we were able to hear the live music until around midnight but this is no fault of the hotels. The staff at the hotel were incredible. Mekaela at the bar and restaurant was just so attentive and we really appreciated her and the other members of the team during our stay. Kelly, the general manager, made us feel so welcome along with all of the other members of staff. The beach is the absolute highlight here. Not one bit overcrowded, it is clean and well kept. The sand and sea looks like a postcard. We already can't wait to come back 🤍 Read less

Lovely hotel by the seafront and we got to swim with turtles. Staff were lovely. Great quality food. The rooms were spotless. The highlight was the free zumba class with Karen. The girl got some moves! Would definitely come back to this hotel.

This hotel is a delight. A few yards from your door and you're on the beautiful Dover beach, where there are plenty of sunbeds and chairs. Turtles can be seen swimming in the ocean and if you're lucky you can see them hatch on an evening. We had a garden room. Large and airy. Clean and comfortable. Yes it's a big tired in places but in some… Read more
This hotel is a delight. A few yards from your door and you're on the beautiful Dover beach, where there are plenty of sunbeds and chairs. Turtles can be seen swimming in the ocean and if you're lucky you can see them hatch on an evening. We had a garden room. Large and airy. Clean and comfortable. Yes it's a big tired in places but in some respects that's part of its charm. There are 2 pools. Not large but why would you need it when the sea is so close? They are cleaned daily. We found the staff were a delight and very friendly. Yes the service can be slow but compared to what? It's not fast food. It's cooked fresh, and It's the Carribbean. No rush ..... On the subject of food we enjoyed it immensely. They were super diligent when it came to allergens.... Read less

Had to locate to this hotel after our original booking was cancelled but we wanted to be on Dover beach so we picked this hotel. Pros. It’s directly on Dover beach which in my opinion is one of the best in Barbados. It’s a very good location to walk into the gap about 5 minutes where a lot of bars and restaurants are. Cons. The staff not all, are elderly ladies and some are not as quick on their feet as the younger ones but that is also the Bajan way. Our room was supposed to be an ocean view room but to the right of the balcony we had a rooftop with lots of solar panels and water heaters which was off putting and also the view of the sea was obscured by another building in front so I definitely wouldn’t call it an ocean view room. The room itself was tired and the bathroom looked like it hadn’t been upgraded since the hotel was open in 1981. Overall very expensive 14 nights stay in a hotel that’s needs updating asap. Read less
