We only stayed one night due to a flight cancellation but the hotel was great . Recently renovated so everything was clean and fresh. Pool area and deck overlook the ocean so great place to sit and the pool side restaurant was excellent.

This was third hotel we tried in Barbados. The other 4 star hotels were terrible. This great little place was terrific. Neat, clean, well designed set right on top of the water. No beach but lovely small pool with comfortable lounges. Great view. Food was perfect. A cozy intimate place. A fraction of the price of the bigger hotels with amenities, which we tried first. Staff welcoming and made you feel right at home. So glad to find it after the other ones we tried.

Perched right on the water in St. Lawrence Gap, this boutique‑style hotel gives you quick access to lively nightlife, cool bars, local restaurants, and even a few beautiful beaches within a short stroll notably Dover Beach. Whether you want to sip a rum punch before dinner or wander out for a late‑night lime (that’s Bajan for hanging out 😄), you’re perfectly placed.

Conveniently located in St Lawrence Gap. Beautifullll sea views. Meals were excellent. Portion sizes are huge. The fried potatoes were the best thing I ate in Barbados. The suite was very well appointed, especially loved the full kitchen. A hotel worth revisiting. Entire staff was courteous.

The room was very clean, had everything to cook (hot plate, pans, dinnerware), make breakfast (toaster, coffee appliances). The ocean view was incredible. The Gap is a lively place at night, but in the oceanfront rooms with the bathroom door closed you can not hear the music at night, I hear this is not the case for some rooms near the street. The restaurant food was great, we ate there 4-5 times. (Thanks Alisha/Kadeem)! The bar staff (Hi Ricky, Nick, Amall, Kyle) were so nice. We even got to taste homemade Conkies from Independence Day (so good), thanks Kyle and his mom). The pool is great and there were places in Sun or shade as I prefer, and at night the sunset is beautiful and the lighting is fantastic and welcoming (well the sunrises from the room view were nice too). There a bathroom off the restaurant with shower and books from travellers. All the maintenance staff and front desk were always so polite and nice as well. The paint was spotless and all is renovated with thoughtful and modern design.
