    We had a 3-bedroom condo. Very spacious and all en-suite. Washing machine and dryer were an added bonus. Staff were friendly and helpful. Also liked that there was a restaurant on site and meals were decent. For us the location was great as it was convenient to everything we wanted to do

    Dining area is small and Extremely hot and uncomfortable .

    Breakfast was acceptable but the dining area is very , very , very hot. They need to put in a permanent structure instead of a plastic awning which radiates the heat . The food is acceptable but its so hot that you end up taking it away to eat in your room.

    The onsite restaurant just changed management this week so there menu was more limited than normal.

    The photos do NOT lie! This is a gorgeous, family owned hotel overlooking the ocean. It's also near several amazing restaurants and the venues in Holetown. The staff are all incredibly helpful and the facilities are kept spotless. The owners made a point to introduce themselves to us. With 4 pools, a restaurant and bar, and a coffee stand onsite, we were well taken care of!

    The on-site Cafe. While the food was good, the staff was rude and unaccommodating. The wait time to receive our food was ridiculously long.

    The staff consistently went above and beyond. The concierge staff is first rate and easy to get in touch with. They were able to answer all of our questions. They made suggestions for places to eat and visit, and arranged for transportation when we needed it. The owner was willing to get personally involved to make sure our stay was memorable. I can't say enough about our experience.

    The pool nearest our room was open until 10 p.m. - but there were no lights around the pool so we didn't access past sundown.

    Clean, comfortable facilities and friendly staff. Great location - can walk to beach and various restaurants. There was also a restaurant onsite along with a store to buy smaller items. Appreciated that beach towels and chairs were provided. Nice touch to be invited to owner's house for drinks - was not able attend as we had already booked another activity.

    - lacked a bit of atmosphere (which wasn’t a major issue for us) so you need to go outside of hotel to find the Barbados buzz (we were also in off-season technically so was quieter)

    - location - apartment space was brilliant - food in the sugar apple cafe was good - child’s pool was fantastic (room location was great) - the hut (where you could buy ice creams, snacks and hire a car for however long for a reasonable price) - return taxi well priced - cleaners/restaurant staff very friendly

    It’s not a resort . You are left very much to your own, which we loved . So if you are looking for waiter service from your sun lounger, this hotel is not for you.

    Stunning, exceptionally clean hotel just across the road from a beautiful beach. The apartment/suites are huge. Fully equipped kitchen with complimentary bagels, butter, jam, tea, coffee, milk, water & and small bottle of rum punch on arrival. Car rental on site was super handy. 3 pools with ample sun beds. Staff are super friendly & work tirelessly to ensure their guests are having the best stay. Thank you Beach View Hotel!

    Unfortunately the road noise from the luxury apartments takes away from the tranquil feel of the site. It is also a little tricky to cross the busy road to get to the beach.

    The apartment itself was beautiful. As were the gardens. Really appreciated the portable umbrella and chairs for the beach. Reception had lovely local products on sale. Very handy bus stop outside.

    Kitchen was large but didn’t have much equipment in. Road was a tad noisy at times but wasn’t a problem.

    Our apartment was very spacious, so far better option that a hotel. Everything was easy at Beach View. Very chilled there and great to have a few pools to choose from. Great location - lots of lovely beaches within very easy distance. Definitely worth hiring a car via the hotel so that you can really explore the island.

    Nothing!

    I liked everything at Beach View! I usually stay with family when in Barbados but wanted to stay in a hotel for a few days, as I was there for my birthday. I visited two hotels to see what they were like and the vibe at Beach View was immediately so welcoming. I had left booking until the last minute but they were able to accommodate my request for an ocean view room, and the view was absolutely stunning! Everything went smoothly and was so well organised. The little touches (items in the fridge to tie me over, recyclable shopping bag) were much appreciated. Sonia and the rest of the team at reception were wonderful, as was David, who helped me get settled, and I finished my stay with a fantastic massage by Aaliyah. My three-day stay was way too short but I will be back and for longer. Thanks to everyone for helping me to continue my birthday celebrations in the best way!

    It is too far away from home. Visiting Beach View Hotel will require quite a few hours of being on the plane!

    We had a very spacious and clean suite when we checked in. I loved the swimming pool that was less than 20 steps from our back patio. I swam everyday during our stay - even on the day when it was pouring down rain! The concierge was very helpful in arranging taxi rides and local attraction tickets for us. Our suite, pool, lounge area, and the surrounding landscaping were beautifully maintained. Having the full kitchen, washer, and dryer was a plus. We truly enjoyed our stay at Beach View Hotel.

    The room was quite dark on the ground floor and a bit noisy at times because of a fast road just next door. Tv in the bedroom was very small. I felt that what we paid for the room was too much VS value. Other buildings are newer and look nicer from the outside

    The location is great, hotel is clean with lot of great restaurants around. It does feel very safe. The service from the hotel is also brillant.
