The hotel

This chic hotel is reputed to have some of the friendliest staff on the island! It's also located across the road from St. Lawrence Bay where the waters are exceptionally shallow at low tide — enabling you to safely walk miles into the ocean (you might see some turtles along the way!). There’s a lovely restaurant on-site or you can head round the corner to the centre of St. Lawrence Gap for some lively nightlife. Refurbished studio rooms have large balconies offering stunning views, a kitchenette and complimentary WiFi.

Stayed at yellow bird hotel from the 8th to the 12th of June. Customer service, bar and the pool was 10/10. The front desk staff was friendly. The rooms were clean and the housekeeping was there everyday. Will recommend if anyone going to Barbados

We'd stay there again. There is no elevator, so book a lower level room if stairs are a problem for you. Read less

We stayed at the Yellow Bird in April when we came to Barbados for our honeymoon, and we knew to expect good things based on the previous reviews, however this hotel blew us away. It’s in a perfect location with beautiful views of St Lawrence Bay from every room, and ideal for heading out to the bars and restaurants. Every single member of staff made us feel so welcome, everybody is so friendly and caring, when you leave you feel like you’re leaving friends behind. The Yellow Bird was perfect for everything we needed, chilled delicious breakfasts, a calm base within walking distance to top spots and a bus stop on the corner for those further away places, and exceptionally clean rooms. I unfortunately sprained my ankle while in Barbados, but having the staff cheer me on, smile with me through the pain and encourage me with each day how it got better made it seem not quite so bad! This was our first time to Barbados and the Yellow Bird but we will absolutely be back! We could not recommend this hotel enough. Read less
