    Honestly cannot find a negative. people have mentioned the road before in other reviews but it really isn't bad at all.

    The staff are so friendly and kind. The cleanliness. the facilities, the pool is lovely. every part of this hotel is perfect. The new pub is a super addition to the hotel (pint of red is the shout). We had a classic suite which is a very good size with excellent kitchen facilities.

    Really friendly hotel staff, excellent comms from owners 3 nice pools and convenient location right across from Payne Bay Nice touches: -Muffins, cream cheese & jam, milk in fridge on arrival -free to use/take deckchairs and umbrellas when going to beaches -The layout of the passionfruit suite is excellent. Huge apartment and laid out for privacy in bedrooms but a large communal living room Loved our stay -Too floor gives lovely sea views with a stunning sunset

    The Beach View Hotel is a fantastic base for exploring Barbados. The apartments are spacious, giving you plenty of room to relax, they’re very well equipped for self catering. It doesn’t feel like a ‘hotel’. You have the choice of dining at the Sugar Apple Café and a little bar had just opened when we were there, complete with a pool table and darts board, which was a nice touch. The staff were super helpful and friendly, always happy to assist. Paynes Bay, just across the road, is a beautiful beach and great for collecting sea glass. You can hire sun loungers and a parasol for $40 BBD or borrow smaller chairs and a parasol from the hotel behind the little shop, which is handy for picking up basic supplies. We also had a grocery pack delivered for our arrival, which made things so much easier after a long journey. There’s plenty of car parking on site, which is ideal if you’re hiring a car to explore the island. The only downside is the very noisy road at the front of the hotel and there’s no real escape from it unless you stay in the duplexes at the back of the site. However, overall, it’s a great place to stay with everything you need for a relaxed and enjoyable trip.

    IT would be all picky little things....no pool service unless you want to pay for it! Any short-comings though were easily sought elsewhere nearby. We were directly opposite The Cliff restaurant which if you save up enough is worth the lunchtime visit.

    We had an apartment with a great view of the sea and the pool in the grounds. The apartment was well appointed, bathroom could be a bit more modern but nevertheless it was clean, had a powerful shower, always the mark of a good bathroom. Transport by bus into town is easy, fast and cheap. Hole Town has all the shops, bars, cafes etc. Staff on site were very friendly and efficient. The restaurant served great food at a reasonable price. Swimming pools were very good. We didn't see any entertainment on site but not a problem because there is plenty to do at night in the local areas.

    Lots of extra expenses which really add up; things like dishwasher tablets and washing powder. Feels like they could bulk buy these and leave a couple in the room, given the price of the actual stay. That's a bit like selling toilet rolls to me.

    The food was a little expensive, and not really "hotel like" but for apartment hotel (condos) it was pretty handy and good.

    Catering standard could be better for costs. Special evening not so special. Would eat outside site for more original variety and quantity.Small portions as if on rations. Better more and you choose than be starving for the price.

    Being left to unwind without disturbance. Having a pre ordered basic food pack for starters. Reception staff very efficient very calm and helpful. Rooms cleaned quietly and quickly. Nice team. Access to lovely fresh fish from stall across the road. Pricey but worth it. Ideal for couples or group. Selection of pools just right. Nice to see expansion of site and a possible Spa being built..
