The hotel

Ideally located on the south coast of Barbados, in the vibrant St. Lawrence Gap area, is the budget-friendly Time Out Hotel. Famed for its prime location you are steps away from the beautiful Dover Beach and next to Dover playing field - great if you fancy getting involved in a game of football with the locals, or joining in with any festivities during your holiday. Offering 76 rooms, you'll also find a bar, a restaurant, and a pool on the property, but what really impresses us is the friendly service and the genuine island warmth the minute you walk through the door.

There were ample pillows and blankets. The hotel provides a kettle and coffee service in the room. My air conditioner worked well. The property itself is well maintained. The pool was nice and not over crowded. I visited the restaurant and it was decent. The staff is friendly. I have no complaints and would stay here again. Read less

Good hotel. Friendly staff, very helpful and friendly. The restaurant is a little overpriced but staff where friendly enough. The hotel bedrooms where very clean and cleaned every day. We had room 216 which was a pool view, very comfortable beds to lay your head down after exploring the island with excursions. Straight across from Dover beach, Dover market is straight up the road which was handy. My girls loved splashing in the pool, and even got to see monkeys eating from the cherry tree (which was a bonus for them). The hotel is about a 5 min walk from the main strip St Lawrence Gap, which you'll find many of Restaurants/Bars. Big shout out to the security guard Nicolas. Was chatting to him and was a lovely fella. Overall id stay here again very clean, tidy and the people are friendly. Barbados is a beautiful country beautiful Beaches and lots to do and see. We did Harrisons caves, the safari tour around the island (seen Rihanna's childhood home). The snorkeling with the sea turtles, submarine tour, Harbour lights (Dinner show which has fire eaters, dancers and stilt Walkers). This is my 2nd time to visit Barbados but my girls 1st time. And what an experience they had so glad to share this experience with them, as they enjoyed every minute of it. Read less

My wife & i stayed at Time Out Hotel for a week in April 2024. As we hadn't paid a lot for the holiday i had set my expectations accordingly.

My wife & i stayed at Time Out Hotel for a week in April 2024. As we hadn't paid a lot for the holiday i had set my expectations accordingly. The hotel is what it says on the tin & is 3* but what a great find. On arrival the hotel did look a little tired & could do with a lick of paint in certain areas. But the rooms are comfortable & functional & are thoroughly cleaned everyday. In a nutshell the place was great. It is a fantastic location with the beach just across the road a lovely pool at the hotel. Its a 5min walk to the restaurants at St Lawrence Gap & the area around the hotel at night is bustling with tourists & locals all mixing together & never felt any threat. The staff at the hotel were brilliant & couldn't fault anything regarding customer service. Lets be clear it isn't Sandels but it delivers for the price paid & more. We had one of the best weeks at this resort & have booked to return April 2025 for 11 days this time. Thanks Time Out Hotel & see you soon. Matt & Kim Read less

Time Out Hotel is a must if you want a very lovely, clean hotel in the middle of a lot of restaurants and bars. The hotel is immaculate and the staff is very welcoming and accommodating. I travel alone and always feel very safe in the hotels environment. The pool area is a quiet oasis and the hotel is steps away from Dover Beach. The Rhum Shop is quite nice as well, with the most pleasant staff! I enjoyed my stay immensely and will return year after year as they never disappoint. Read less
