The hotel

The Southern Palms Beach Club and Hotel is spread out along 1,000 ft of oceanfront at St Lawrence Gap, so it has the best of both worlds. There are spacious grounds in which to relax and unwind during the day and then lively restaurants, shops and bars just a 5-minute walk away for evening entertainment! You can look out over the Caribbean Sea as you dine in the Garden Terrace restaurant and, on Sundays, people come from all over the island to enjoy the wonderful Sunday buffet lunch — accompanied by live music.

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 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
