Eco Lifestyle & Lodge

Our stay at the ECO lodge was lovely. It was a peaceful, calming place, with beautiful grounds and views over the wild east coast. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was interesting and delicious. We also enjoyed the surrounding area. We walked in both directions along the coast and lay in the rock pools at low tide. we really enjoyed the Andromeda gardens and had lovely homemade French pastries in the garden cafe. We would love to stay here again when we next visit Barbados.

This was our third stay at Eco Lodge. As in the past, it was great. We were in the Soup Bowl studio this time and it was lovely. Big living room, well equipped kitchen, and a lovely kingsize bed. Being vegans, it was great to have several options to choose from both for breakfasts and dinners. Loved the pancakes! The staff at Eco Lodge are always terrific. If you are looking for a place to chill and enjoy nature at it's best, this is a very good choice.

We chose Eco Lifestyle and Lodge in Bathsheba. We prefer boutique hotels. I am also a yoga and mindfulness teacher and wanted to scout the property for my concierge packages. The property is situated on a gorgeous parcel of land with stunning views of the sea. We heard the roaring waves all week. It was a natural white noise machine. The landscape features hammocks, shady areas with adult swings, a yoga and dining platform and three salt water pools to dip and refresh. There are stairs leading to Tent Bay where one can hike the coast, walk to Atlantis Hotel for De Garage for a meal. You can walk up the hill to Zemi for a bit or continue along the coast. Eco has a fabulous restaurant that fed us well. They serve healthy but delicious food. Rhys, the head chef, cared for our needs. The service was flawless Hats off to Ria and all of the serves. The restaurant sources local produce and fish. They serve Wyndham Coffee. Our meal included breakfast daily which was fabulous. Plating was artful and options were healthy and tasty. The highlight was a breakfast Roti wrap. I loved the fresh local juices including seasonal Sorrel. We chose Soup Bowl, a massive one bedroom king suite with a large kitchen, huge bath with jet tub, a massive deck with stunning views and chairs and hammock to enjoy the views. I cannot say enough about the experience. My daughter and I spend 5 incredible nights at Eco. We loved the area and would highly recommend a split stay. A special thanks to Sea Cat, the groundsman who cut us fresh coconut and taught me how to pick sea parslane. They use this tasty beach vegetation for a tempura app. It was lovely.

This property is beautiful and serene and wild. It feels like an oasis compared to the busier side of Barbados. We relaxed immediately and were able to walk along the coast paths and into Bathsheba. One stunning botanical garden is walking distance too. There's a local community centre that opens little street food stands and yep, rum! And in Bathsheba itself there are a tiny number of cafes - check opening hours - sometimes the place is deserted! The jewel of the lodge is the Chef. OMG. The food was off the scale delicious. Authentic local food taken to another level. The restaurant is perfectly placed with views over the ocean and all the staff were bright and attentive. We are very fussy eaters and keen cooks and this service was faultless. The restaurant isn't open every day so check ahead. The lodge has stunning views across the sea and plenty of areas to kick back and relax and enjoy the roar of the ocean. 2 niggles for us. Mosquitos - as soon as the wind died down they were out in force and the mozzy nets are insufficient. And the queen bed is tiny and sunk and had roll. The rest of the property is in keeping with an authentic wooden lodge on a Caribbean island. Just idyllic. Points were lost for the bed and mosquito control - if these were better managed this would be heaven on earth. As it is - 4 nights became challenging by the last night.

Well….. it lived up to expectations. It’s in a beautiful spot, the rooms are lovely, the food is amazing and the best bit, the staff, make you feel like you are the only person in the world. If you are temped to stay on the windward side then this is the place to be. There are some really interesting places to eat nearby too from local to gourmet. Do it!!

The perfect tranquil stay Had the most amazing, relaxing, peaceful stay at Eco-Lodge. It’s really as beautiful as the pictures look online and the activities we did with the hotel were brilliant too. The hotel gives you the opportunity to experience the East side of the island and is great if you like hiking and surfing. One thing to note is that the hotel restaurant is only open a few times a week for dinner and there’s only one other place you can eat in after 5pm nearby. We’d recommend hiring a car or borrowing the hotels electric bikes. Overall, amazing if you want to see more of the island and do lots of activities in Barbados!
